A young man, who was
also an avid golfer, found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon.
He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could get in 9 holes
before he had to head home. Just as he was about to tee off, an old gentleman
shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man as
he was golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the old man
to join him.
To his surprise, the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit the
ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time.
Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young man found himself
with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball
and directly between his ball and the green.
After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot, the old man finally
said, "You know, when I was your age, I'd hit the ball right over
that tree."
With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the
ball up, right smack into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back
on the ground not a foot from where it had originally lay.
The old man offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your
age, that pine tree was only 3 feet tall."
"Ever since we
got married, my wife has tried to change me. She got me to stop drinking,
smoking, running around at all hours of the night and more. She taught
me how to dress well, enjoy the fine arts, gourmet cooking, classical
music and how to invest in the stock market."
"Sounds like you may be bitter because she spent so much time trying
to change you."
"I'm not bitter. Now that I'm so improved, she just isn't good enough
for me."
A game warden noticed
how a particular fellow named Sam consistently caught more fish than anyone
else, whereas the other guys would only catch three or four a day. Sam
would come in off the lake with a boat full. Stringer after stringer was
always packed with freshly caught trout. The warden, curious, asked Sam
his secret. The successful fisherman invited the game warden to accompany
him and observe.
So the next morning the two met at the dock and took off in Sam's boat.
When they got to the middle of the lake, Sam stopped the boat, and the
warden sat back to see how it was done.
Sam's approach was simple. He took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and
threw it in the air. The explosion rocked the lake with such a force that
dead fish immediately began to surface. Sam took out a net and started
scooping them
up.
Well, you can imagine the reaction of the game warden. When he recovered
from the shock of it all, he began yelling at Sam. "You can't do
this! I'll put you in jail, buddy! You will be paying every fine there
is in the book!"
Sam, meanwhile, set his net down and took out another stick of dynamite.
He lit it and tossed it in the lap of the game warden with these words,
"Are you going to sit there all day complaining, or are you going
to fish?"
The sailor came home
from a secret two year mission only to find his wife with a new born baby.
Furious, he was determined to track down the father to extract revenge.
"Was it my friend Sam", he demanded.
"No !" his weeping wife replied.
"Was it my friend Jim then?" he asked.
"NO !!!" she said even more upset.
"Well which one of my no good friends did this then?" he asked.
"Don't you think I have any friends of my own?" she snapped.
Three smiling corpses
are lying in the morgue and Detective Owens goes to the coroner to find
out the cause of death. The coroner points to the first man.
"This one is Quint," he says. "He died of shock after
winning a $20 million lottery."
On to the second man. "This is Jon. You know Judi?"
Owens nodded.
"He died of a heart attack while having a little oral sex with her."
Finally, down to the last corpse. "This is Amanpreet.
He died after being struck by lightening."
"But, Doc, why's he smiling?"
"Because the bonehead thought he was getting his picture taken."
