Three old men
Three old men are at the doctor for a memory test. The doctor says to the first old man, "What is three times three?"
"274" was his reply.
The doctor worriedly says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?"
"Tuesday" replies the second man.
The doctor sadly says to the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times
three"?
"Nine" says the third man.
"That's great!" exclaims the doctor. "How did you get that"?
"Jeez, Doc, it's pretty simple," says the third man. "I just subtracted 274 from Tuesday."

The Toaster Oven
One of my daughter's wedding presents was a toaster oven. Soon after the honeymoon, she and her husband tried it out. Almost immediately, smoke billowed out of the toaster. "Get the owner's manual!" her husband shouted.
"I can't find it anywhere!" she cried, searching through the box.
"Oops!" came a voice from the kitchen. "Well, the toast is fine, but the owner's manual is burnt to a crisp."

Flower Switch
A new business was opening, and one of the owner's friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site, and the owner read the card, which said, "Rest in Peace."
The owner was angry and called the florist to complain.
After he told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist replied, "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this: Somewhere there is a funeral taking place, and they have flowers with a note saying, 'Congratulations on your new location.'"

How To Ask A Man To Do Something
Always remember these six important rules when asking a man to do something:
1. Make sure the man is conscious.
2. Crash the hard drive on his computer and line the bird cage with the sports section.
3. Be brief! Limit your nagging harangue to two, three hours, max.
4. Reward him for cooperative behavior. Offer to cook him something that doesn't have a peel-back cover.
5. Punish him when he refuses to cooperate. Microwave his remote on high power for 55 minutes. Rotate 1/4 turn, and microwave again for another 35 minutes.
6. Use "would you" or "will you" instead of "you'd better" or "do as I say and no one will get hurt."

Special Panties...
A lady who had been married for several years was
growing more and more frustrated at her husband's
lack of interest in sex. She wondered about ways
to add some pizzazz to their sexual relationship,
and finally decided to purchase some crotchless
underwear she had seen in a lingerie shop.
One evening when she was feeling particularly desirous, and he was, as usual, watching television,
she took a shower, freshened up, and donned the
crotchless undies and a slinky negligee.
She then strolled between her husband and the
television, and suggestively tossed one leg up on his
chair arm.
"Want some of this?" she purred.
"Are you kidding?" he replied.
"Look what it did to your underwear."

Blonde Aggies
A group of blondes in a class at Texas A&M University were given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So they went out to the flagpole with ladders and tape measures, and they fell off the ladders, dropped the tape measures and pencils -- the whole thing was just a mess.
An engineering student comes along and sees what they're trying to do. He walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, and then gives the measurement to one of the blondes and walks away.
After the engineer had gone, one blonde turned to another and laughed: "Isn't that just like a dumb engineer? We're looking for the height and he gives us the length!

"How are we faring?" asks the king.
"Sire," replies the knight, "I have been robbing and pillaging on your behalf all day, burning the towns of your enemies in the west."

New Year's Dinner
As in many homes on New Year's Day, my wife and I faced the annual conflict of which was more important - the football games on television, or the dinner itself. To keep peace, I ate dinner with the rest of the family, and even lingered for some pleasant after-dinner conversation before retiring to the family room to turn on the game.
Several minutes later, my wife came downstairs and graciously even bought a cold drink for me. She smiled, kissed me on the cheek and asked what the score was. I told her it was the end of the third quarter and that the score was still nothing to nothing.
"See?" she said, continuing to smile, "You didn't miss a thing."

Tip Revenge
A man finds his seat in the theater, but it's too far from the stage.
He whispers to the usher, "This is a mystery and I have to watch a mystery close up. Get me a better seat, and I'll give you a handsome tip."
The usher moves him to the second row, and the man hands the usher a quarter.
The usher looks at the quarter and then leans over and whispers, "The wife did it."

Theological debate
The thoroughly secular young attorney and the philosopher were engaged in fierce theological debate: "Heaven and hell, you will agree, may very well be separated by a wall," contended the lawyer. Should it happen that this wall would fall down, who would you say must rebuild it?
"The righteous would insist that the wicked do it; the latter would likely refuse. If this case came before a judge, which do you believe would emerge the winner?"
"It seems to me," replied the philosopher, "that any fair-minded judge would render a verdict against the wicked, since the likelihood is that the wall should crumble from the fires of hell rather than from the bliss of Paradise.
"On the other hand," he concluded, "I fully realize that hell surely contains a full quota of glib-tongued lawyers, and I should therefore not be surprised if they won the case."

"TIPPING THE STRIPPER!"
There are five businessmen from France, Germany, England, US and Japan having fun in this strip club in down town New York. The dancer is down to her bra and panties and the French guy tries to be a gentleman, so he opens his wallet, takes out a 10 dollar bill and puts it into the girl's bra.
-" That's how we tip in France!" Says the guy with a big smile.
The German guy, not wanting to lose to a French, opens his wallet, takes out a 20 dollar bill, and puts it into the girl's bra.
-" That's how WE tip in Germany!" Says the guy with a triumphant smile.
The stripper is now down to her panties and the English guy, furious about not acting sooner, opens his wallet, takes out a 50 dollar bill, puts it into the girl's panties.
-" That's how WE bloody tip in England!" says the guy laughing loudly.
The American enjoys this game, being the richest, lights up his cigar, open his wallet, takes out a 100 dollar bill and puts it into the girl's panties.
-" And that's how WE tip in America!" says the American with a we-are-the-world smiling face.
The stripper is completely naked and everybody is wondering what the Japanese guy is going to do.
The Japanese guy smiles and watches the stripper with his wallet in his hand. He waits for the moment the stripper has her back toward them and bends over. He opens his wallet, takes out his credit card and runs it through the girl's ass cheeks.
- "Card society, Japan!"
