FOR THOSE WHO NOTICED A MISSING PUNCH LINE: I’VE RERUN JOKE WITH
PUNCHLINE —-SORRY!!!!!
Sven and Ole worked together and both were laid off work, so they went to the
unemployment office. Asked his occupation, Ole said, “Panty stitcher. I sew da
elastic onto ladies cotton panties.” The clerk looked up panty stitcher and
found it classified as unskilled labor, so she gave him $300 a week unemployment
pay. Then Sven was asked his occupation. “Diesel fitter,” he replied. Since
diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week. When Ole found
out he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend
and coworker was collecting double his pay. The clerk explained, “Panty
stitchers are unskilled and diesel fitters are skilled labor.” “Vhat skill?”
yelled Ole. “I sew da elastic on da panties, and Sven puts them over his head
and say, “Yah, diesel fitter!”

An
engineer, doctor and pastor golfing
A
pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly
slow group of golfers. Engineer: What’s with these guys? We must have been
waiting 15 minutes! Doctor: I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such ineptitude!
Pastor: Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let’s have a word with him. (dramatic
pause) Hi George. Say, what’s with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow,
aren’t they? George: Oh, yes, that’s a group of blind fire fighters. They lost
their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them
play for free anytime. The group was silent for a moment. Pastor: That’s so sad.
I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight. Doctor: Good idea. And I’m
going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there’s anything he can do
for them. Engineer: Why can’t these guys play at night?

Phones in
Church
A man in Topeka,
Kansas decided to write a book about churches around the country. He started by
flying to San Francisco and started working east from there. Going to a very
large church, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden
telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued
with
a sign, which read “Calls: $10,000 a minute.” Seeking out the pastor he asked
about the phone and the sign. The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in
fact, a direct line to heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to
GOD. The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to
visit churches in Seattle, Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and around the
United States, he found more phones, with the same sign, and the same answer
from each pastor. Finally, he arrived in Colorado, upon entering a church in
Grand Junction, Colorado, behold—he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS
time, the sign read: “Calls: 35 cents.” Fascinated, he asked to talk to the
pastor, “Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each
church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line
to Heaven and that I could talk to GOD, but the other churches the cost was
$10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call. Why?” (I love this
part…..) The pastor, smiling broadly, replied, “Son, you’re in Colorado now….
You’re in God’s country. It’s a local call.”

Blonde
Carpenters
Two
blondes with hammers were doing some carpentry work on a Habitat for Humanity
house. Carol, who was nailing down house siding, would reach into her nail
pouch, pull out a nail and either toss it over her shoulder or nail it in.
Donna, (figuring this was worth looking into) asked, “Why are you throwing those
nails away?” Carol explained, “When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of
them have the head on the wrong end and I throw them away. Donna got completely
upset and yelled, “You moron!” Those nails aren’t defective! They’re for the
other side of the house.”

A blind man and
his dog enter a bar and find their way to a bar stool. After ordering a drink
and after awhile the guy yells to the bartender, “Hey, do you
wanna
hear a blonde joke? The bar becomes quiet and in a husky voice the woman next to
him says, “Before you tell that joke, you should know the bartender and bouncer
are blonde and I am a 6’, 200 lb blonde with a black belt in karate. The woman
sitting next to me is blonde and a weight lifter, to the right is a blonde and
she’s a pro wrestler, “Think about it, do you really wanna tell that joke?” The
blind guy says, “Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.”

A very successful
lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off
to his colleagues. As he opened the door a truck came roaring past and
completely tore off the driver’s door from the Lexus. The lawyer immediately
grabbed his cell phone and dialed 911. When a policeman arrived, the lawyer was
still screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day
before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the
body shop tried to make it new again. After the lawyer finally wound down from
his ranting, the cop shook his head in disgust. “I can’t believe how
materialistic you lawyers are,” he said. “You are so focused on your possessions
that you don’t notice anything else.” “How can you say such a thing?” asked the
lawyer. The cop replied, “Didn’t you notice that your left arm is missing from
the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you.” The lawyer
looked down to his left side and let out a terrible scream, “Oh, my God!!! …….MY
ROLEX!!!

A couple had been
married for 40 years and also celebrated their 60th birthdays. During the
celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving
couple all those years, she would give them one wish each. Being the faithful,
loving spouse for all these years, naturally the wife wanted for her and her
husband to have a romantic vacation together, so she wished for them to travel
around the world. The fairy waved her wand and boom! She had the tickets in her
hand. Next, it was the husband’s turn and the fairy assured him he could have
any wish that he wanted, all he needed to do was to ask for his heart’s desire.
He paused for a moment, then said, “Well, honestly, I’d like to have a woman 30
years younger than me.” The fairy picked up her wand and boom! He was 90.

This story tells
you how hard it is to be single nowadays...This was on a Tonight Show with Jay
Leno on September 7, 1999. Jay went into the audience to find the most
embarrassing first date that a woman had ever had. The winner described her
worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale
took the prize!
She
said it was mid-winter; snowing and quite cold and the guy had taken her skiing.
It was a day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and truly had
never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were
headed home late that afternoon.
They
were driving back down the mountain when she gradually began to realize that she
should not have had that extra latte at the ski lodge. They were about an hour
away from anywhere with a restroom and in the middle of nowhere. Her companion
suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while. Unfortunately, because
of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he
had better stop and let her pee beside the road, or it would be on the front
seat of his car.
They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down
and started. Unfortunately, in the deep snow she didn’t have good footing, so
she let her bottom rest against the rear fender of the car to steady herself.
Her companion stood on the other side of the car watching for traffic and indeed
was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was
the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation.
Upon
finishing, however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to
pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued to
the car’s fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to pump handles immediately came to
mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly
apparent that she had a brand new problem due to the extreme cold. Horrified by
her plight and yet aware of the humor, she answered her date’s concerns about
“what was taking so long” with a reply that indeed, she was “freezing her butt
off and needed some assistance!”
He
came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as
she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too, got the
giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her
dilemma.
Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real
problem. Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from
the grip of the icy metal. Thinking abut what had gotten her into the
predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one
way to get her free so, as she looked the other way, her first-time date
proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender.
Rescue accomplished, they returned to the car, although for the remainder of the
trip home there wasn’t much conversation and apparently, despite their “intimate
encounter,” the two did not see each other again. As for the Tonight Show, she
took the prize hands down… or perhaps that should be “pants down.”
