Texas

A man walked into the local supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask his manager about the matter. Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, ‘Some asshole wants to buy half a head of lettuce.’ As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, ‘And this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half.’ The manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way. Later the manager said to the boy, ‘I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?’ ‘Texas, sir,’ the boy replied. ‘Well, why did you leave Texas?’ the manager asked. The boy said, ‘Sir, there’s nothing but whores andfootball players down there. ‘Really?’ asked the manager. ‘My wife is from Texas.’ ‘No shit!’ replied the boy. ‘Who’d she play for?’

Banana Split

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlour and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split. The waitress asked kindly, ‘Crushed nuts?’ ‘No,’ he replied, ‘Arthritis.’

Old Age

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement centre were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: ‘George, I’m 83 years old now and I’m just full of aches and pains. I know you’re about my age. How do you feel?’ George says, ‘I feel just like a newborn baby.’ ‘Really!? Like a newborn baby!?’ ‘Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.’

The Hearing Aid

An elderly gentleman….. Had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100% The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, ‘Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.’ The gentleman replied, ‘Oh, I haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will three times!’

Husband Down

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.

The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.

‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks the wife.

‘They’re on sale, only $10 for 24 cans he replies.

‘Put them back, we can’t afford them demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

What do you think you’re doing?’ asks the husband.

‘It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,’ replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: ‘So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it’s half the price.’

AN IRISH GHOST STORY

This story happened a while ago in Dublin
, and even though it sounds
like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it’s true
John Bradford, a Dublin
University student, was
on the side of the road
hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm.
The night was rolling on and not a car went by. The storm was so strong
he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.
Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John,
desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car
and closed the door…. only to realize there was nobody behind the
wheel and the engine wasn’t on.
The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a
curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life.
Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere
through the window, and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror,
watched as the hand came through the window, but never touched or
harmed him.
Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road,
so, gathering strength; he jumped out of the car and ran to it.
Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody
about the horrible experience he had just had.
A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying…
and wasn’t drunk.
Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the dark
and stormy night. They, like John , were also soaked and out of breath.
Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said
to the other….
Look Paddy….there’s that idiot that got in the car while we were
pushing it!!!!’

Today’s word is…………….. Fluctuations
I was at my bank today; there was a short line.
There was just one person in front of me, an Asian
woman who was trying to exchange yen for dollars.
It was obvious she was a little irritated . . . She
asked the teller, "Why it change? Yesterday, I get two
hunat dolla fo yen. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it
change?"
The teller shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Fluctuations."
The Asian woman says, "Fluc you white people too"

Prayer

A preacher said, "Anyone with ‘special needs’ who wants to be prayed over, please come forward to the front by the altar."  With that, Leroy got in line, and when it was his turn, the Preacher asked, "Leroy, what do you want me to pray about for you?" Leroy replied, "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."  The preacher put one finger of one hand in Leroy’s ear, placed his other hand on top of Leroy’s head, and then  prayed and prayed and prayed.  He prayed a "blue streak" for Leroy, and the whole congregation joined in with great enthusiasm.

 

After a few minutes, the preacher removed his hands, stood back and asked, "Leroy, how is your hearing now?" Leroy answered, "I don’t know.  It ain’t ’til next week.
