PMS of Biblical proportions…

A preacher was telling his congregation that anything they could think of, old or new, was discussed somewhere in the Bible and that the entirety of the human experience could be found there.

After the service, he was approached by a woman who said, “Preacher, I don’t believe the Bible mentions PMS.”

The preacher replied that he was sure it must be there somewhere and that he would look for it.

The following week after the service, the preacher called the woman aside and showed her a passage which read, “And Mary rode Joseph’s ass all the way to Bethlehem.”

Why I flunked English

Let’s face it: English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England nor french fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose? If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play, and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another? When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on. When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it? Now I know why I flunked English. It’s not my fault-the silly language doesn’t quite know whether it’s coming or going.

Wedding Night

“Octogenarian’s Wedding Night”

At 85 years, a fello marries a lovely 25 year old woman. Because her new husband is so old the woman decides that on their wedding night they should have separate suites.

She is concerned that the old fellow could overexert himself. After the festivities she prepares herself for bed and for the knock on the door she is expecting.

Sure enough the knock comes, and there is her groom ready for action. They unite in conjugal union, and all goes well whereupon he takes his leave of her, and she prepares to go to sleep for the night.

After a few minutes there’s a knock on the door and there old man is again ready for more action. Somewhat surprised she consents to further coupling which is again successful after which the octogenarian bids her a fond good night and leaves.

She is certainly ready for slumber at this point, and is close to sleep for the second time when there is another knock at the door, and there he is again fresh as a 25 year old and ready for more.

Once again they do the horizontal boogie. As they’re were lying in afterglow, the young bride says to him, “I am really impressed that a guy your age has enough juice to go for it three times. I’ve been with
guys less than half your age who were only good for one….. You’re great!”

Octogenarian looks confused for a time. Then he turns to her and says, “Oh…. Was I already here?”

Genie in a bottle

A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie.

The genie said “OK, OK. You released me from the lamp, blah blah blah. This is the fourth time this month and I’m getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three. You only get one wish!”

The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, “I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii but I’m scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?”

The genie laughed and said, “That’s impossible. Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete…how much steel!! No-think of another wish.”

The man said OK and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said, “I’ve been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don’t care and that I’m insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women…. know how they feel inside and what they’re thinking when they give me the
silent treatment…. know why they’re crying, know what they really want when they say ‘nothing’…. know how to make them truly happy….”

The genie said, “You want that bridge two lanes or four?”

A Wedding Story

As only a child could do… A little boy was in a relative’s wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride’s side and groom’s side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar…so it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, “I was being the Ring Bear…”

Stress Reliever

How to Handle Stress

Picture yourself near a stream.

Birds are softly chirping in the crisp, cool mountain air. Nothing can bother you here. No one knows this secret place. You are in total seclusion from that place called “the world.”

The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity. The water is clear. You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you’re holding under the water.

There now……feeling better?

Pilots

The passengers on a commercial airliner have been seated and are waiting for the cockpit crew to get underway. A mummur is heard in the back of the plane, and a few passengers on the aisle glance back to see the pilot and copilot, both wearing large dark sunglasses, making their way up to the cockpit.

The pilot, however, is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle. The copilot is using a seeing-eye guide dog. As they pass by the rows of passengers, there are nervous giggles heard, as people are thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke.

A few minutes after the cockpit door has closed behind them, the engines start spooling up and the airplane starts to taxi out to the runway. The passengers begin to look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and shifting uneasily or gripping the armrests more tightly. As the airplane starts to accelerate more rapidly, people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, passengers become more and more hysterical.

Finally, when the plane has less than a few seconds of runway left, shouts of horror fill the cabin as everyone screams at once. Just at the very last moment possible, the plane lifts off and is airborne.

Meanwhile, up in the cockpit, the pilot breaths a sigh of relief and turned to the captain and says, “You know, one of these days the passengers are going to scream too late, and we’re all going to get killed.”

Typo

A businessman from Wisconsin went on a business trip to Louisiana. Upon arrival, he immediately plugged his laptop into the hotel room port and sent a short E-mail back home to his wife, Jennifer Johnson, at her address. Unfortunately, in his haste, he mistyped a letter and the E-mail ended up going to a Jean Johnson in Duluth, the wife of a preacher who had just passed away and was buried that day. The preacher’s wife took one look at the E-mail and promptly fainted. It read, “Arrived safely, but it sure is hot down here!”
