Sense of Humour

The boss joined a group of his workers at the coffee urn and told a series of jokes he’d heard recently. Everybody laughed loudly. Everybody, that is, except Mike.

When he noticed that he was getting no reaction from Mike, the boss said, “What’s the matter, Mike? No sense of humor?”

“My sense of humor is fine,” he said. “But I don’t have to laugh. I’m quitting tomorrow.”

Ice Cream is Good For The Soul

Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads, he said, “God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!”

Along with laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, “That’s what’s wrong with this country. Kids today don’t even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!”

Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, “Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?” As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, “I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.”

“Really?” my son asked.

The man replied, “Cross my heart.”

Then in a theatrical whisper the gentleman added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), “Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes.”

Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.

He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, “Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is already good.”

They both look down at the Jewish man who says, “My name is Irving and I own
40 acres.”

Roger looks down at him and says, “40 Acres? What do you raise?”

“Nothing” Irving says.

“Well then, what do you call it?” asked John.

The little old Jewish man says, “Downtown Dallas.”

Sarahrella

After watching the movie Cinderella, five-year-old Sarah started using her pinwheel as a magic wand, pretending she was a fairy godmother. “Make three wishes,” she told her mother, “and I’ll grant them.”

Her mom first asked for world peace. Sarah swung her wand and proclaimed the request fulfilled.

Next, her mother requested for a cure for all ill children. Again, with a sweep of the pinwheel, Sarah obliged.

The mother, with a glance down at her rather ample curves, made her third wish, “I wish to have a trim figure again.”

The miniature fairy godmother started waving her wand madly.

“I’ll need more power for this!” she exclaimed.

Excuses, Excuses

Philadelphia’s Highway Patrol officers hear all kinds of creative excuses that drivers give for speeding. Here are some of the officers’ favorites. By the way, none of them worked.

A man told the officer he was rushing to the hospital because had been stung by a bee, and was allergic. “There’s the bee right there,” he said, pointing to his dashboard. The officer looked. The bee was not only dead, but in a advanced state of decomposition.

An officer stopped a man doing 80 mph. When he asked the driver whether he had seen the speed-limit signs, the man responded, “I went by them so fast I probably missed them.”

A man going south on I-95 was stopped near Washington Avenue doing 79 mph. “My engine misses, and I’m trying to clean out the carburetor,” he told the officer. For good measure, he added, “If I don’t go this fast, my car won’t go at all.”

“I’m due in traffic court,” one speeder said. “If I’m late they’re going to enforce the bench warrant.”

When an officer told a speeder that the speed limit on the Schuylkill Expressway was 50 mph, the driver responded, “Officer, where have you been? It’s 65 now.”

One speeder said simply, “I’m trying to beat my wife home. Don’t ask.”

An elderly person was stopped after doing 73 mph. When told he was getting a ticket, he asked the officer, “Is there a senior citizen’s discount?”
