A new trick

A new trick

The conjurer was arranging a new stage trick, and on the day before its introduction he asked his young son to help him. "When I ask for a boy to come on the stage, you must come at once. But you must not do anything or say anything that will make the audience think that you know me."

The boy said he understood everything and when the conjurer asked for help, he came forward quickly and was invited on the stage. When he got there, the conjurer said: "Look at this boy! He has never seen me before, have you, my boy?"

"No, father!" answered the boy.

I didn't see

A woman called in a repairman to fix her television. Just as he
finished, the woman heard her husband's key in the lock.

"Hurry!" she said to the repairman, "You'll have to hide... my
husband is insanely jealous."

There was no time to run out the back door, so the repairman
hid inside the TV console.

The husband walked in and sat down in his favorite chair to
watch some football. Meanwhile, the repairman was inside the
TV, all squashed up, and getting hotter and hotter. Finally, he
couldn't stand it anymore. He climbed out, marched across the
room and out the front door.

The husband looked at the TV set, looked at his wife, then
looked back at the TV set again, and said, "I didn't see the
referee send that guy off the field, did you?

Checking up

A boy walked into a drug store and asked permission to use the telephone. Then the following conversation took place:
"Is that you, Mr Jones?"
"Yes," seemed to be the answer.
"Well, Mr Jones, I saw your advertisement in the morning paper the other day, and you wanted a boy. Did you get one?"
"Yes," seemed to be the answer again.
"Well, Mr Jones, are you satisfied with him?"
The answer appeared still to be affirmative.
"Well, Mr Jones, if you are not satisfied, please call me at Main 54."
The boy turned and wanted to go out, when the druggist, who had overheard, remarked, "You probably wanted to get the job, didn't you?"
"Oh, no, sir," answered the boy, "I'm the boy, who is already working down there. I just wanted to know whether they are satisfied with me."

Different price

Different price

The patient's family gathered to hear what the specialists had to say.
"Things don't look good. The only chance is a brain transplant.
This is an experimental procedure. It might work, but the bad news is that brains are very expensive, and you will have to pay the costs yourselves."
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives.
"For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000."
Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked,
but all the men nodded because they thought they understood.
A few actually smirked. But the patient's daughter was unsatisfied and asked, "Why the difference in price between male brains and female brains?"
"A standard pricing practice," said the head of the team.
"Women's brains have to be marked down because they have actually been used."

There is no doubt about it

A poor man had a parrot which could only say the words "There is no doubt about it!" Its name was Poll, and all day long it called out, "There's no doubt about it!" To every question Poll always gave the same reply.

One day its master went to the market to sell it. "Who will buy my parrot?" he cried. "Twenty pounds for my parrot!"

A man, hearing the high price that was asked, turned to the parrot and said; "Poll, are you worth twenty pounds?"

"There's no doubt about it!" was Poll's reply.

The man was so pleased with this answer that he bought the bird and carried it home.

Some time later, he was sorry for his bargain. Standing beside the parrot's cage, he said: "What a fool I was to throw away so much money!"

"There's no doubt about it!" cried the bird.

Satan & his brother-in-law

Sunday morning services were going very smoothly when suddenly a flash of light and smoke appeared in front of the pulpit followed by a large "BOOM".
When the smoke cleared, the astonished congregation saw a red figure complete with horns, pitchfork and tail. Immediately, panic set in. People crowded through the doors, trampling each other in their rush to get away. Satan watched the retreat with great glee, but his mood was disturbed by the sight of one man still lounging comfortably in his pew. "Do you not know who I am?", Satan thundered. The man's reply was nonchalant, "Sure I do." Satan was puzzled. "Do you not fear me?" "Nope." "Why not?" The man snorted, "What for? I been married to your sister for 35 years, and this is still better than going home!"

"You're going to die"

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his checkup, the doctor called the wife into his office alone.
He said,"Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress.
If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die:
"Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast.
Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood.
For lunch make him a nutritious meal he can take to work. And for dinner, prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores, as this could further his stress. "Don't discuss your problems with him; it will only make his stress worse. Try to relax your husband in the evening by being pleasant and giving him plenty of back rubs.
Encourage him to watch some type of team sporting event on television. "And, most importantly satisfy his every whim. If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely."
On the way home, the husband asked his wife,
"What did the doctor say?"
"You're going to die," she replied.

Too Many Confessions of Adultry

Too Many Confessions of Adultry

An old priest was getting sick and tired of all the people in his parish who kept confessing adultery. One Sunday in the pulpit he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!" So the parishioners came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say then "fallen". This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well until the priest died at a ripe old age. About a weak later, the new priest visited the Mayor of the town and seemed very concerned. The priest said, "You have to do something about the sidewalks in town, when people came into the confessional, they kept talking about having fallen." The Mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code word. The priest took an accusing finger at the Mayor and said, "I don't know what you are laughing about, your WIFE fell three times this weak."

Captain

A beautiful young blonde woman boards a plane to New York with a ticket for the economy section. She looks at the seats in economy and then looks into the forward cabin at the first-class seats. Seeing that the first-class seats appear to be much larger and more comfortable, she moves forward to the last empty one. The flight attendant checks her ticket and tells the woman that her seat is in economy. The blonde replies, "I'm young, blonde and beautiful, and I'm going to sit here all the way to New York." Flustered, the flight attendant goes to the cockpit and informs the captain of the blonde problem. The captain goes back and tells the woman that her assigned seat is in economy.
Again, the blonde replies, "I'm young, blonde and beautiful, and I'm going to sit here all the way to New York." The captain doesn't want to cause a commotion, and so returns to the cockpit to discuss the blonde problem with the co-pilot. The co-pilot says that he has a blonde girlfriend, and that he can take care of the problem. He then goes back and briefly whispers something in the blonde's ear. She immediately gets up, says "Thank you so much," hugs the co-pilot, and rushes back to her seat in the economy section. The pilot and flight attendant, who were watching with rapt attention, together ask the co-pilot what he had said to the woman. He replies, "I just told her that the first class section isn't going to New York.
