  • Any time 3 New Yorkers get into a cab without an argument, a bank has just been robbed.

A Lesson In Compassion

Three Bell workers were working atop a phone tower. As they started their descent, Jim slipped, fell off the tower, and was killed instantly. As the ambulance took Jim away, John said, “Well, now somebody has got to go and tell Jim’s wife. Joe said, “OK, I’m pretty good at that sensitivity stuff. I’ll do it.” Two hours later, he came back carrying a case of beer. John asked, “Where’d you get the beer, Joe?” “Jim’s wife gave it to me”, Joe replied. “That’s unbelievable! You told the Missus her husband was dead and she gave you a case of beer??” “Well, not exactly”, Joe said. “When she opened the door, I said to her ‘You must be Jim’s widow.’ She said, ‘You must be mistaken … I’m not a widow.’ Then I said, ‘I’ll betcha a case of beer you are’.”

This Just In… From a Senior Woman

If my body was a car, I would be trading it in for a newer model. I’ve got bumps, dents, scratches, and my headlights are out of focus. My gearbox is seizing up and it takes me hours to reach maximum speed. I overheat for no reason, and everytime I sneeze, cough or laugh, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!



The Last Word

Me in high school: Eats a dozen donuts at midnight … loses 3 pounds.
Me now: Goes up a pant size every time I swallow my spit
