Puppy Love
My dog chewed the tongue on one of my new, expensive running shoes. I
hoped to save my investment, so I took the sneakers to a shoe repair
shop. I placed them on the counter and told the man, "My dog got hold of this."
The repairman picked up the shoe, looked it over, and placed it back
down on the counter.
"Well, what do you recommend?" I asked.
He looked at me and replied, "Give your dog the other shoe."

Proud and pleased as she could be, the new, young bride,
Mrs. Stanford Strothers, strode briskly up to the teller's
cage at the bank to cash her husband's pay check for the
first time.
When the teller told her the check would have to be
endorsed, the bride grabbed the pen and unhesitatingly wrote
on the back, "I heartily recommend my husband, Stanford
Strothers."

Small Pizza
While working at a pizza parlor, I observed a man ordering a small
pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if
he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6 pieces.
He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it
into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."

I bought a great new toilet seat recently.
On the label was a suggestion on how to clean it.
Although nice to have the option, I doubt I'll take advantage of it.
My toilet seat, it seems, is "Dishwasher Safe."

In a country home that seldom had guests, the young son was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office.
When the dinner was nearly over, the boy went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father, who passed it to a guest. The boy came in with a second piece of pie and again watched his father give it to a guest.
This was too much for the boy, who said, "It's no use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size."

A real estate agent had just closed his first deal, only to
discover that the piece of land he had sold was completely
under water.

"Money back?" roared the boss. "What kind of salesman are

Not long after, I received a call from the manager of one of our shoe stores. He asked if I knew if Nancy was married. I told him I thought so and asked why he was interested. "She just gave me her business card," he said, "and on the back she's written 'eligible'."

Nail Biting
Most of us have a bad habit we are constantly trying to break. For
me, it's biting my fingernails. One day I told my husband about my
latest solution: press-on nails.
"Great Idea, Honey," he smiled. "You can eat them straight out of the box."

"Dollar Measure"
Our mom needed a new mattress for her antique bed, so my brother, Josh, and I decided to buy her one as a gift. The problem was we weren't sure what to get, because it was an odd size. Fortunately, my brother happened to be visiting my mother one day when I called home. "Measure the bed frame before you leave," I told him.
"I don't have a tape measure."
"You can use a dollar bill," I suggested, "each one is six inches long."
"Can't," he replied after digging through his wallet, "I only have a ten."

Two archeologists, exploring a remote mountain in Tibet came across a huge granite statue which resembled a sitting man. It stood almost 400 foot tall, and its bodily details were accurate down to the fingernails and teeth.
"It looks real enough to talk," says one.
"Lets try," says the other and turning to the statue asks it its name.
No answer.
"How old are you?"
No answer.
Finally, one shouts out, "What is the square root of 64?"
Suddenly, the mountain shakes as the giant statue rise onto its feet and puts it’s hand on it’s chin. Then after about ten seconds, the statue answers in a roaring voice, "Eight."
Of course, says the scientist, "It only stands to reason."

Haircut
The supervisor of my work section recently made a casual comment
about my shaggy mane of hair.
He then went on to extol the virtues of a good haircut, which, he
insisted, makes an elderly man look younger and a younger man seem
more mature.
"How would a haircut make a middle-aged man like me appear?" I asked.
"Still employed," was his answer.

At the hardware store where I work, our manager was writing out a bill when
he turned to me and asked, "Hey, what are
these nuts worth?"
A new clerk looked up and said, "I thought we were getting seven bucks and

A steam locomotive passing through Poland one night was running low on coal.
The engineer said to his fireman, "We're coming to a town, let's stop and
send the porter out to get more coal. Can you see the name of the town on
the depot sign?"
The fireman replied, "It appears to be Danzig in the dark."
And the engineer shouted, "Buy coal, Porter!"

The orthopedic surgeon I work for was moving to a new
office, and his staff was helping transport many of the

I sat the display skeleton in the front of my car, his bony

drive across town. At one traffic light, the stares of the
people in the car beside me became obvious, and I looked
across and explained, "I'm delivering him to my doctor's
office."
The other driver leaned out of his window. "I hate to tell
you, lady," he said, "but I think it's too late!"

As I was packing for my business trip, my three-year-old
daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At
one point, she said, "Daddy, look at this," and stuck out
two of her fingers.
Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her
tiny fingers in my mouth and said, "Daddy's gonna eat your
fingers!" pretending to eat them before I rushed out of the
room again.
When I returned, my daughter was standing on the bed staring
at her fingers with a devastated look on her face. I said,

She replied, "What happened to my booger?"

Since he runs a pawnshop, I decided to ask a friend of mine to appraise my grandfather's violin. "Old fiddles aren't worth much, I'm afraid," he explained.
"What makes it a fiddle and not a violin?" I asked.
"If you're buying it from me, it's a violin. If I'm buying it from you, it's a fiddle."

Proposal
There were two elderly people living in Trailer Estates, a Florida
mobile home park. He was a widower and she a widow. They had known
one another for a number of years.
One evening there was a community supper in the big activity center.
The two were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal
went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered
his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"
After about six seconds of 'careful consideration,' she answered.
"Yes. Yes, I will." The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant
exchanges, they went to their respective places.
Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say
'no'?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not
recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the
telephone and called her. First, he explained that he didn't remember
as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As
he gained a little more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you
would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"
He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and
I meant it with all my heart." Then she continued, "I am so glad that
you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."

Halloween Kiss
Cabbie speaks nun–sense…
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies, “I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.”
She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”
“Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”
She responds, “Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I'm single and Catholic!”
“OK," the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child," said the nun, “Why are you crying?”
“Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess. I'm married and I'm Jewish.”
The nun says, “That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.”

Proposal
There were two elderly people living in Trailer Estates, a Florida
mobile home park. He was a widower and she a widow. They had known
one another for a number of years.
One evening there was a community supper in the big activity center.
The two were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal
went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered
his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"
After about six seconds of 'careful consideration,' she answered.
"Yes. Yes, I will." The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant
exchanges, they went to their respective places.
Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say
'no'?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not
recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the
telephone and called her. First, he explained that he didn't remember
as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As
he gained a little more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you
would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"
He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and
I meant it with all my heart." Then she continued, "I am so glad that
you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."

Halloween Kiss
Cabbie speaks nun–sense…
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies, “I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.”
She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”
“Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”
She responds, “Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I'm single and Catholic!”
“OK," the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child," said the nun, “Why are you crying?”
“Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess. I'm married and I'm Jewish.”
The nun says, “That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.”

hUMOR For Oct. 27th
A new hair salon opened up for business right across the
street from the old established hair cutter's place.
The owners of the new salon put up a big bold sign that
read: "WE GIVE SEVEN DOLLAR HAIR CUTS!"
Not to be outdone, the old Master Barber put up his own
sign: "WE FIX SEVEN DOLLAR HAIR CUTS!"
+++++++++++++++++++
After months of negotiation with the authorities, a Talmudist from Odessa
was granted permission to visit Moscow. He boarded the train and found an
empty seat.
At the next stop a young man got on and sat next to him. The scholar looked
at the young man and thought This fellow doesn't look like a peasant, and if
he isn't a peasant he probably comes from this district. If he comes from
this district, then he must be Jewish because this is, after all, a Jewish
district.
On the other hand, if he is a Jew, where could he be going? I'm the only Jew
in our district who has permission to travel to Moscow.
Ahh? But just outside Moscow there is a little village called Samvet, and
Jews don't need special permission to go there. But why would he be going to
Samvet?
He's probably going to visit one of the Jewish families there, but how many
Jewish families are there in Samvet? Only two - the Bernsteins and the
Steinbergs. The Bernsteins are a terrible family, and a nice looking fellow
like him must be visiting the Steinbergs. But why is he going? The
Steinbergs have only daughters, so maybe he's their son-in-law.
But if he is, then which daughter did he marry? They say that Sarah married
a nice lawyer from Budapest, and Esther married a
businessman from Zhitomer, so it must be Sarah's husband. Which means that
his name is Alexander Cohen, if I'm not mistaken. But if he comes from
Budapest, with all the anti-Semitism they have there, he must have changed
his name.
What's the Hungarian equivalent of Cohen? Kovacs. But if they allowed him to
change his name, he must have some special status. What could it be? A
doctorate from the University.
At this point the scholar turns to the young man and says, "How do you do,
Dr. Kovacs?"
"Very well, thank you, sir." answered the startled passenger. But how is it
that you know my name?"
"Oh," replied the Talmudist, "it was obvious."
+++++++++++++++++++
At times I was asked to provide references for former employees by companies
considering hiring them. On one firm's form was the question: "Was this
person a steady worker?"
Since the guy was a well known do-nothing, I entered in the space provided,
"Not just steady, but motionless."
+++++++++++++++++++
Parachuting
On our first day of training for a charity parachute jump, the instructor made
an important point. "Start preparing for landing when you're at 300 feet."
One student asked, "How do you know when you're at 300 feet"?
"A good question. At 300 feet, you can recognize the faces of people
on the ground."
She thought about this for a moment before saying, "What happens if
there's no one there I know"?

"Facilities Memo"
My colleagues and I recently received this email from the facilities department:
"Due to construction, your office may be either cooler or warmer than usual on Tuesday.
Please dress accordingly."

Soccer Identity?
My 3 year old son recently had his first soccer game. The team
consisted of 3- and 4-year olds, many of whom our son did not
know. We took plenty of pictures, and after the game we used the
photos to help him learn the names of his new friends and coaches.
"Who is this?" I asked pointing at one little boy.
"That's my friend Mason" came the reply.
"That's right! And who is this?" I asked pointing at a little girl.
"I don't know," came the reply.
"That's Madison. And who is this?" I asked pointing at Madison's
daddy, the coach.
"I don't know," came the reply.
"That's Coach Juan. And who is this?" I asked pointing at Mason's
mommy, Paige, the assistant coach.
In a small tentative voice the reply came,
"Coach Two?"
+++++++++++++++++++
There was once a small rural community--so small, in fact,
that the only church in town was a small Baptist church
whose pastor had to double up as the local barber to make
ends meet.
A man living in this small community had invested wisely and
was enjoying his newfound comfort. This man got out of bed
one day to go through his daily routine. He looked into the
mirror as he was about to shave and said to himself, "I make
enough money now that I don't have to shave myself. I'll go
down to the barber and let him shave me from now on." So he
did.
He walked into the barber shop and found the preacher/barber
was out calling on shut-ins. The barber's wife, Grace, said,
"I usually do the shaves anyway. Sit down and I'll shave
you." So he did.
She shaved him and he asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"Twenty-five dollars," Grace replied. The man thought that
was somewhat expensive and that he might have to get a shave
every other day. Nonetheless, he paid Grace and went on his
way.
The next day, he woke up and found his face to be just as
smooth as the day before. No need for a shave today, he
thought. Well, it was a $25 shave.
The next day he awoke to find his face as smooth as a baby's
bottom. Wow! he thought. It amazed him, as he normally would
need to shave daily to keep his clean-shaven business look.
Day 3, he woke up and his face was still as smooth as the
minute after Grace had finished. Now, somewhat perplexed,
the man went down to the barber shop to ask some questions.
This particular day, the pastor was in, and the man asked
him why his face was as smooth as it was the first day it
was shaven.
The kind old pastor gently explained, "Friend, you were
shaved by Grace, and once shaved, always shaved."

Safety at Work
Safety is a major concern at the manufacturing company where I work.
So I'm constantly preaching caution to the workers I supervise.

our parking lot?"
The long silence that followed was interrupted when one of them piped
up. "That depends. Do you mean coming to work or leaving?"

I don't say my golf game is bad, but if I grew tomatoes,
they'd come up sliced.
I've spent most of my life golfing. The rest I've just
wasted.
They call it golf because all the other four-letter words
were taken.
Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose
wives think they are out having fun.
It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in
baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.
Golf is a game in which you yell "fore," shoot six, and
write down five.
Give me golf clubs, fresh air, and a beautiful partner, and
you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.
Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards?
The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf
course.
Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what
you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very
close to having a perfect golf swing.
If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up
the wrong golf ball.
It's good sportsmanship not to pick up lost golf balls while
they are still rolling.
Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with
implements ill-adapted for the purpose.
Gone golfin' ... be back about dark thirty.
The difference in golf and government is that in golf you
can't improve your lie.
Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music
comes out of a bagpipe.

Eric had been a waiter ever since he was in high school. Now in his fifties,
he still served people their meals in the same restaurant he loved so
dearly. One day, though, Eric suffered a fatal heart attack.
His grief-stricken wife, Fannie, was also a firm believer in spiritualism,
and was certain that she would be able to talk to her departed husband's
spirit. For months she attempted to contact him through an assorted number
of psychics and spiritualists, but all to no avail.
One night, while thinking it over, she realized that the reason she had so
much trouble was because his spirit would remain haunting the place where he
spent most of his time: the restaurant! She called up the restaurant and
spoke to his old boss. The man, willing to do anything to comfort a late
employee's widow, agreed to let her stage a séance at the restaurant
after closing time.
The night of the séance, Fannie sat at a table, clearing her mind, and
softly she spoke: "Eric, can you hear me?"
"Hello, Fannie. How's by you?" came the unmistakable sound of Eric's voice.
"Eric, I can barely hear you. Could you speak a little louder?"
"I can't speak louder. It was always bad for my heart and look what happened
when I did!"
"Well, can you move a little closer to me?"
"No, that I cannot do."
"Why not?"
"That's not my table."

It was very crowded at the supermarket, and the customer in front of me had

the customer. "That was supposed to happen in your driveway!"

"Pole Power"
I was getting ready for work when I looked out the window and saw the utility company starting to erect a pole in front of my house. They were going to position it directly in front of my picture window. No way, absolutely no way, was I going to permit this. I gulped down my coffee and went directly to the crew supervisor and told him, in no uncertain terms, that I was not going to stand for his crew putting that stupid electrical pole directly in front of my picture window.
He took out a plot map, a map for pole locations and a right of way document. He went on to explain that the chosen location was the best spot for the pole. I told him it was not the best location for me and that when I came home from work that day I certainly did not expect to see that pole in front of my window.
He asked where I did want them to put it and I told him I didn't give a hoot, as long as it was not in front of my window. I felt pretty smug as I drove off to work because I felt I got my point across. I knew he was afraid to put it there now.
Ah, the feeling of power; at least until I got home and found the pole in the middle of my driveway.

As a professor at Texas A & M, I taught during the day and did research at night. I would usually take a break around nine, however, calling up the strategy game Warcraft on the Internet and playing with an on-line team.
One night I was paired with a veteran of the game who was a master strategist. With him at the helm, our troops crushed opponent after opponent, and after six games we were undefeated. Suddenly my fearless leader informed me his mom wanted him to go to bed.
"How old are you?" I typed.
"Twelve," he replied. "How old are you?"
Feeling my face redden, I answered, "Eight."

"Fearless Leader"
As a professor at Texas A & M, I taught during the day and did research at night. I would usually take a break around nine, however, calling up the strategy game Warcraft on the Internet and playing with an on-line team.
One night I was paired with a veteran of the game who was a master strategist. With him at the helm, our troops crushed opponent after opponent, and after six games we were undefeated. Suddenly my fearless leader informed me his mom wanted him to go to bed.
"How old are you?" I typed.
"Twelve," he replied. "How old are you?"
Feeling my face redden, I answered, "Eight."

John was driving home late one night when he picked up a hitchhiker.
As they rode along he began to be suspicious of his passenger. John
checked to see if his wallet was safe in the pocket of his coat that
was on the seat between them, but it wasn't there!
So he slammed on the brakes, ordered the hitchhiker out, and said,
"Hand over the wallet immediately!"
The frightened hitchhiker handed over a billfold, and John drove off.
When he arrived home, he started to tell his wife about the
experience, but she interrupted him, saying, "Before I forget, John,
do you know that you left your wallet at home this morning?"

The Part About Noon, They Got THAT Right
This technician supports a group of grocery stores, and they're in
the process of being renovated. His job: shift the equipment in the
customer service booth, and do it with a minimum of downtime.
But the renovation plans don't make that easy. "Moving the equipment
-- cash registers, PCs, Western Union and lottery machines --
normally only takes about an hour," he says. "But the old customer
service area and the new one overlapped."
"This required closing customer service for several hours while the
new counters were installed and power and data cables were pulled."
He has already been through this process at another store. That time,
it ultimately took 20 hours of work on-site, with an overnight break,
to get it all moved.
So he's skeptical when he's told everything will be ready for him
when he arrives. But the project supervisor swears that the engineers
have confirmed that all the construction will be completed by noon.
"When I arrived at the store at 11:30, I found the new customer
service counters still outside and work not yet started," he sighed.
"I started chatting with the construction lead and quickly found out why."
"The engineers had told them work could START at noon."

He punched my ticket, then chatted cordially for a bit,
making gestures like a windmill. I simply nodded from time
to time to show him that I was interested.
When he had gone, an American woman in the compartment
leaned forward and asked if I spoke German.
"No," I confessed.
"Then that explains," she said, "why you didn't bat an

The Foot Rule
There is a formula for figuring out how bed space is allocated. It is called
the "FootRule". You start by determining the total number of feet (as in
those at the end of the legs, not the kind made up by inches). Then you
divide that total by the number of feet belonging to the person(s) or dog(s)
in question.
This is how it works:
You and husband share your bed with 1 dog. You and your spouse total 4 feet
and the dog also has 4 feet. That is a total of 8 feet. The dog has 4 out of
8 feet or 50%, therefore, the dog gets 50% of the bed.
You could work this in reverse as well. You have 2 out of 8 feet or 25% and
so does your spouse, so each of you gets 25% and the dog gets 50%.
Now I have 5 dogs. At 4 feet per dog, that is 20 feet. Add to that my 2 feet
and we have a total of 22 feet in the bed. I have 2 out of 22 feet which is
1/11th or 9.1% of the bed. The dogs, since they share a total of 20 of 22
feet, get 10/11ths or 90.9% of the bed. Simple isn't it?!
Once I figured out my percentage of the bed space, the next step was to work
out the exact area that I am entitled to. My bed is a California King which
is approximately 6 ft x 7 ft. Here is the math:
6 ft x 7 ft = 42 square feet
42 square feet = 6048 square inches
9.1% of 6048 = 550 square inches
550 square inches = 45.8 total inches
45.8 inches = 3.8 total feet
In order to determine the exact size of my bed space, I needed to know the
percentage of length to width - this comes out to 54% long to 46% wide. When
I apply these percentages to my spot:
550 square inches x 54% = 297 square inches
550 square inches x 46% = 253 square inches
297 square inches = 24.7 inches
253 square inches = 21.1 inches
24.7 inches = 2.1 feet
21.1 inches = 1.8 feet
Now that the math's are all done, the figures show that the dimensions of my
part of the bed are 2.1 feet by 1.8 feet or in other words, I sleep on my
pillow.

so does your spouse, so each of you gets 25% and the dog gets 50%.
Now I have 5 dogs. At 4 feet per dog, that is 20 feet. Add to that my 2 feet
and we have a total of 22 feet in the bed. I have 2 out of 22 feet which is
1/11th or 9.1% of the bed. The dogs, since they share a total of 20 of 22
feet, get 10/11ths or 90.9% of the bed. Simple isn't it?!
Once I figured out my percentage of the bed space, the next step was to work
out the exact area that I am entitled to. My bed is a California King which
is approximately 6 ft x 7 ft. Here is the math:
6 ft x 7 ft = 42 square feet
42 square feet = 6048 square inches
9.1% of 6048 = 550 square inches
550 square inches = 45.8 total inches
45.8 inches = 3.8 total feet
In order to determine the exact size of my bed space, I needed to know the
percentage of length to width - this comes out to 54% long to 46% wide. When
I apply these percentages to my spot:
550 square inches x 54% = 297 square inches
550 square inches x 46% = 253 square inches
297 square inches = 24.7 inches
253 square inches = 21.1 inches
24.7 inches = 2.1 feet
21.1 inches = 1.8 feet
Now that the math's are all done, the figures show that the dimensions of my
part of the bed are 2.1 feet by 1.8 feet or in other words, I sleep on my
pillow.
