Just a little humor

After being with a blind date all evening, the man couldn't take another minute Earlier, he had secretly arranged to have a friend call him to the phone so he would have an excuse to leave if something like this happened.

When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim expression and said, "I have some bad news. My grandfather just died."

"Thank heavens," his date replied. "If yours hadn't, mine would have had to!"
 
N o t Q u i t e ! !

There once was a man from the sticks
Who liked to compose limericks.
But he failed at the sport,
For he wrote 'em too short.


There was a young man from Hong Kong
Who found limericks much too long.
He got to line three


There was a young man from Peru
Whose limericks stopped at line two.


There was a young man of Verdun

Tuesday, Vice President & presidential candidate Kamala Harris [D-CA] was interview guest on ABC-TV The View.
Hostess Joy Behar prefaced her own interview segment w/ VP Harris by saying:
"... I like candidates who show up for interviews." Behar
This is an allusion both to Donald Trump speaking dismissively of Senator McCain [R-AZ]. President Bone Spur said:

"He's not a war hero.
He is a war hero.
He's a war hero because he was captured.
I like people that weren't captured. OK?" Donald Trump: July 2015 seeking the Republican nomination for the 2016 presidential race

Behar simultaneously also alluded to yesterday's (Monday October 7, 2024) CBS-TV 60 Minutes broadcast which to be fair & balanced was scheduled to include both Republican and Democrat presidential candidates.
But according to CBS Scott Pelley, a week ago Trump backed out. Trump offered "shifting explanations" according to Pelley.
"... I like candidates who show up for interviews." Behar
Oh Joy

PS
Puzzlingly, in this same segment VP Harris acknowledged support from Richard & Lynn Cheney [R], but also claimed support from John McCain [R]. McCain died in 2018. Kamala?
Bawdy finish. - oh well -

Today's The View broadcast was a puff piece for VP Harris. The questions were softball, & even so were used by Harris as introductions to her own preformulated speeches.
That's a familiar standard in U.S. electoral politics. Not much news here, other than what may seem a vote of confidence in candidate Harris from the ABC television broadcast network.
 
Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize!
She said it was midwinter, snowing and quite cold... and the guy had taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a day trip (no overnight).
They were strangers, after all, and had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte !!
They were about an hour away from anywhere with a restroom and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while.
Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car.
They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself.
Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation.
Upon finishing, however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender.
Thoughts of tongues frozen to poles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem, due to the extreme cold.
Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about' what is taking so long' with a reply that indeed, she was 'freezing her butt off' and in need of some assistance!
He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem.
Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender.
As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down. Or perhaps that should be 'pants down'. And you thought your first date was embarrassing.
Jay Leno's comment..... 'This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off.'
Oh, and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was sitting next to her on the Leno show.
 
Leno might have still been enrolled in Emerson College when I first read that joke.
It's become an old friend that occasionally crosses paths.

Scientifically I remain a skeptic.
For reason of thermodynamics, temperature differential, thermal mass & conductivity of Chromium plated steel, etc,
I consider the scenario as described unlikely. BUTT !

Nice to read you again old friend.
And now another oldie but goody?

Upon finding the magic lamp the man frees its genie, and is granted a single wish. "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, but flying terrifies me, & I get unendurably sea sick on any boat. So I wish for a road from here to Hawaii." The stunned genie plied the man with reason.
"That would be a monumental engineering feat. Miles tall pilings traversing the abyssal plain. The material alone to support & pave such a roadway would level entire mountain ranges flat, thereby severely changing planetary weather patterns forever. Then there are problems like continental drift. Isn't there any other wish I can grant you instead?"
Frowning in thought, the man suddenly brightened.
"I've got it! I've always wanted to understand women, what explains their inappropriate emotional outbursts. Why is their tyrannical fury directly proportional to the vagueness and ambiguity of the trap they laid to provoke it? That's what I want to know."
The genie grudgingly nods his acceptance,and replies, "So, do you need four lanes or will you settle for two?"

A woman walks into a drugstore and asks the pharmacist if he sells size extra large condoms.

He replies, "Yes we do.

Would you like to buy some?"

She responds, "No sir, but do you mind if I wait around here until someone does?"
 
from Vaudeville (probably):

Katherine staggered into a drugstore,
asked the proprietor: "Gotny talcum powder?"
"Certainly madame. Walk this way."
Cantankerous Katherine snapped back:
"If I could walk that way, I WOULDN'T NEED THE TALCUM POWDER !"


The judge announces to the defendant: 'You've been brought here for drinking.'
The defendant replies: "Excellent! Let's get started."


(more Vaudeville, probably)

After service one Sunday, and usher comes up to the Pastor. “I think there’s something wrong. There was an envelope in the offerings with $5,000 in it.”

The pastor says they will deal with it.

Next Sunday, during the offering, the pastor watches carefully and sees a sweet little old lady put a big envelope in the basket.

After the service, the pastor gets the lady off to the side. “I wanted to thank you for your kind donations to the church, but are you sure you can afford it? This is not known to be a wealthy neighborhood.”

The lady smiled and replied, “Don’t worry about it. My son is a veterinarian and sends me money each week and it’s more than I know what to do with, so I figured I would donate it to the church.”

The pastor looks shocked at this. “He must be a very successful veterinarian to send you so much.”

The lady smiled and nodded. “Yes, he is very successful. He has a cat house in Reno and another cat house in Las Vegas.”

Does this pose an ethical dilemma to the Pastor?
 
Depends on the Pastor. After all, he makes his living selling fairy tales about rewards that "the faithful" will receive after they die so why should this bother him?
You've got me trying to do the mental conversion here S2.

I put a map of the world on the kitchen wall. Gave my wife one dart and told her where ever it hits, I will take her on a 2 week holiday. We start our holiday behind the fridge next Friday.

It's the United States of America. Not only do we revere major appliances. We even promote humor about refrigerators.

Q: Why are married women heavier than single women?

A: Single women come home, see whats in the fridge and go to bed. Married women come home, see whats in bed and go to the fridge.

A pastor trying to give his sermon saw a young boy, very fidgety and disruptive until his mother whispered in his ear. At once, the young boy sat completely still and remained quiet for the remainder of the service. Impressed, the pastor approached the mom afterwards to find out what she whispered in her son’s ear. She told the pastor, “I just told my son, if you distract the pastor, he might lose his place in the sermon and have to start all over again.”
