The Name Game

A man was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She charged that he had called her a pig. The man was found guilty and fined. After the trial he asked the judge, "This means that I cannot call Mrs. Johnson a pig?"

The judge said that was true. "Does this mean I cannot call a pig Mrs. Johnson?" the man asked.

The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig Mrs. Johnson with no fear of legal action.

The man looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Johnson."

The Marriage Fairy

A couple had been married for 25 years and was celebrating the husband's 60th birthday.

During the party, a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each.

The wife said, "We've been so poor all these years, and I've never gotten to see the world. I wish we could travel all over the world." The fairy waved her wand and POOF! She had the tickets in her hand.

Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'd like to be married to a woman 30 years younger than me."

The fairy waved her wand and POOF! He was 90.

Fitness Class

Concerned about fitness in my middle 40s, I enrolled in an

aerobics class. To my dismay I walked into a room filled

with much younger women and decided to combat my nervousness

with humor.

"I'm here to do my postnatal exercises."

The instructor gave me an appraising look. "How old is your

baby?"

"Twenty-six," I replied.

Jump Start

About five years ago, the battery in my beat-up VW beetle had died
because I left the lights on overnight. I was in a hurry to get to
work on time so I ran into the house to get my wife to give me a hand
to start the car.

I told her to get into our second car, a prehistoric oversized gas
guzzler, and use it to push my car fast enough to start it. I pointed
out to her that because the VW had an automatic transmission, it
needed to be pushed at least 30 MPH for it to start. She said fine,
hoped into her car and drove off.

I sat there fuming and wondering, "What can she be doing?" A minute
passed by and when I saw her in the rearview mirror coming at me at
about 40 MPH, I realized that I should have been a bit more clear
with my directions.

Poppop's Nose

The other day my five year old grandson was lounging on my lap.

* Him: "Poppop, you have hair in your nose."
* Me: "Everybody has hair in their nose."
* Him: "But you have a lot of hair in your nose."
* Me: "Well, it's not growing on top of my head very well. I have to grow it somewhere."
* Him: (thoughtful pause) "Do you want me to pull some of it out for you?"

I declined the offer.

Our co-worker kept trying to get her mother to fly out for

a visit. "No way am I getting on an airplane," was the in-

evitable answer.

"Look, Mom, when it's your time to go, it doesn't matter

if you're on the ground or in the air."

"I know," said her mother. "I just don't want to be that

far off the ground when it's the pilot's time to go."

Two older, successful businessmen met at a resort. One who

had recently retired was describing his life, "I get up late

in the morning, have a light breakfast and then I lie down

on my veranda for a few hours and relax.

In the afternoon I go inside for lunch, have a great salad,

fruits and cold fish, then I spend the rest of the afternoon

boating or playing golf or tennis...

When it starts to get dark I have a great dinner with the

finest wines. I smoke a Cuban cigar. Then I go lie on my

veranda again."

The other gentleman acknowledges that this is a life to be

envied. Later he reported the conversation to his wife. She

asked, "What's his wife's name?"

Her husband said, "I'm not sure, but I think it's Veranda."
