Miserable Mildred
Mildred was a 93 year-old woman who was particularly
despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl.
She decided that she would just kill herself and join
him in death.
Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly,
she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision
to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken
in the first place. Not wanting to miss the vital organ and
become a vegetable and burden to someone, she called her
doctor's office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart
would be.
'On a woman,' the doctor said, 'your heart would be just
below your left breast.'
Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a
gunshot wound to her left knee.

Dry English Wit
On a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the
Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment. 'You English
are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lips
make your above the rest of us. Look at me...I'm me, I have Italian
blood, French blood, a little Indian blood, and some Swedish blood.
What do you say to that?'
The Englishman replied, 'Very sporting of your mother.'

The Perils Of Living Dangerously
Two men waiting at the Pearly Gates strike up a conversation.
'How'd you die?' the first man asks the second.
'I froze to death,' says the second.
'That's awful,' says the first man. 'How does it feel to freeze to
death?'
'It's very uncomfortable at first, 'says the second man.
'You get the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers and toes. But
eventually, it's a very calm way to go. You get numb and you kind of
drift off, as if your sleeping. How about you, how did you die?
'I had a heart attack,' says the first man. 'You see, I knew my wife was
cheating on me, so one day I showed up at home unexpectedly. I ran up to
the bedroom, and found her alone, knitting. I ran down to the basement,
but no one was hiding there, either. I ran up to the second floor, but
no one was hiding there either. I ran as fast as I could to the attic, and
just as I got there, I had a massive heart attack and died.'
The second man shakes his head. 'That's so ironic,' he says.
'What do you mean?' asks the first man.
'If you had only stopped to look in the freezer, we'd both still be
alive.'

Getting a Free Day
One day, the teacher walks into her classroom and announces to the
class that on each Friday, she will ask a question to the class and anyone
who answers correctly doesn't have to go to school the following Monday.
On the first Friday, the teacher asks, 'How many grains of sand are in
the beach?' Needlessto say, no one could answer.
The following Friday, the
teacher asks the class, 'How many stars are in the sky?' and again no one
could answer.
Frustrated, little Johnny decides that the next Friday, he would
somehow answer the question and get a 3 day weekend.
So Thursday night, Johnny takes two ping-pong balls and paints them
black. The next day, he brings them to school in a paper bag.
At the end
of the day, just when the teacher says, 'Here's this week's question,' Johnny
empties the bag to the floor sending the ping-pong balls rolling to the front
of the room. Because they are young kids who find any disruption of class
amusing, the entire class starts laughing.
The teacher says, ' Okay, who's the comedian with the black balls?'
Immediately, little Johnny stands up and says, 'Bill Cosby, see ya on Tuesday!'

Sister Mary Katherine
Sister Mary Katherine lived in a nunnery, a block away from Jack's
liquor store. One day, in walked Sister Mary K and said, 'Oh Jack,
give me a pint o' the brandy.'
'Sister Mary Katherine,' exclaimed Jack, 'I could never do that! I've
never sold alcohol to a nun in my life!'
'Oh Jack,' she responded, 'it's only for the Mother Superior.' Her voice
dropped. 'It helps her constipation, you know.'
So Jack sold her the brandy. Later that night, Jack closed the store and
walked home. As he passed the nunnery, who should he see but Sister
Mary Katherine? And she was snookered.
She was singing and dancing, whirling around and flapping her arms like
a bird, right there on the sidewalk. A crowd was gathering. Jack pushed
through and exclaimed, 'Sister Mary Katherine! For shame! And you told
me this was for the Mother Superior's constipation!'
Sister Mary K. didn't miss a beat as she replied, 'And so it is, me lad,
so it is. When she sees me, she's gonna shit!'

The Lost Gravy Ladle
An elderly priest invited a young rabbi over for dinner. During the meal, the
young rabbi couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper
was. Over the course of the evening he began to wonder if there might be more
between the elderly priest and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading the
young rabbi's thoughts, the elderly priest volunteered, 'I know what you must
be thinking, but I assure you my
relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional.'
About a week later the housekeeper came to the elderly priest and said,
'Father, ever since your young rabbi friend came to dinner, I've been unable
to find the beautiful sterling silver gravy ladle. You don't
suppose he took it do you?'
The priest said, 'Well, I doubt it, but I'll write him a letter just to be
sure.' So he sat down and wrote:
'Dear Rabbi: I'm not saying that you DID take a sterling silver gravy ladle
from my house, and I'm not saying you DIDN'T take it. But the fact remains
that one has been missing ever since you were here.'
Several days later, a letter came from the Rabbi. It read:'Dear Father: I'm
not saying that you DO sleep with your housekeeper,and I'm not saying that you
DON'T sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if you were
sleeping in your own bed, you would have found the gravy ladle by now.'
