Older couple is watching TV one evening when the husband gets up and heads for the kitchen. His wife says, "While you're there, will you get me a dish of ice cream?" He says OK and continues toward the kitchen. She says, "Aren't you going to write that down?" He says, "Write it down? Why would I do that?" She says, "Well, your memory isn't what it used to be. If you don't write it down, you'll probably forget." He says, "My memory's fine. I won't forget." She says, "And will you put some chocolate syrup on that ice cream?" He agrees and walks on toward the kitchen. She says, "You should write that down. You'll forget." He says, "I'm not writing it down and I won't forget."

A few minutes later, he comes back and hands her a plate of scrambled eggs. She looks down at the eggs, looks up at him, sighs deeply, and says, "And where's the toast?"

I was looking for a joke thread and found this one. A lot of good jokes. We all need a belly laugh at least once a day to keep our brains healthy. And that's no joke. So, I would like to revive this thread. Hope most of you can join in.

Here is my contribution for today.

I love this Doctor!

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it...don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance of vegetable product. Ice Cream even better – everything Cow eats in one package!

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. All people who don’t drink unhappy – happy people live longer so drink more. Bottom up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of single one, sorry. More people killed running on street than lying on couch. My philosophy is: No pain...good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.

Q: What about food additives?
A: You want to complain about something for free? If it added – must be better – like fuel additive!
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..

Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

Ok one more. also from Readers Digest

.John is out with his friends and stops by his grandmother’s house for a visit. There’s a bowl of peanuts on the coffee table, and John and his friends start snacking on them. When they’re ready to leave, his friends say, "Nice to meet you, ma’am, and thank you for the peanuts." Grandma says, "You’re welcome. Ever since I lost my dentures, all I can do is suck the chocolate off of them."

I posted this elsewhere but this one made me laugh since I was eight; "when I go, I want to go peacefully, like my grandpa did, in his sleep. Not kicking and screaming like the passengers in his car."

These three old guys were sitting around their local pub, regaling each other with tales from their younger days. They had been into traveling, safari's, camping, fishing, and the like, and were always out doing each other with who had the better catch, who hiked the longer miles, what have you. There was one of the men who had a great deal of respect among the others, since he had actually been to the deepest jungles in Africa, and had been chased by really big game, and several times had barely escaped with his life. He listened to the other two banter for a while, but finally, he put down his draft, adjusted his belt and told them how it really was. "I was out in the deepest jungle, on this hunt, and suddenly, there it was, the one that almost killed me the last time I was out there. I could tell by the look in it's eye. It was coming for me again. It had my scent. I got downwind. I did everything I could to protect myself, and still, there it was. The hunter had become the hunted yet again. I crept along, slowly,.....slowly..hoping only to survive..had a chance to reach for my weapon....and then, ..as I got in position, the beast made it's move". His friends and half of the people at the pup sat, absolutely still as the old guy went in to great long details about the hunt. "Before I could even think, the beast was breathing on the back of my neck. One false move and i knew it would be all over. and then suddenly.....it jumped, and ROARED...and (jumping up from the table in the pub) I jumped and SCREAMED and ....I wet myself......."

"well that's perfectly understandable" one of his friends chimed in, "being out in the jungle, about to be eaten by a wild beast.."

"NO NO NO NO! FOOL! Not THEN! Just NOW, when I jumped up out of the table, to tell the story and explain how I roared....just NOW, I wet myself...."

Say you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself and the government says there is no Nursing Home care available for you. So, what do you do? You opt for Medicare Plan G.
The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun (Plan G) and one bullet. You are allowed to shoot one worthless politician. This means you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all the Health Care you need. Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? They are all covered!

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now! And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home. And you will get rid of a useless politician while you are at it. And now, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any more income taxes!

Is this a great country or what? Now that I've solved your senior financial plan, enjoy the rest of your week!

hilarious pfontes - I have just had a neighbour telling me he heard me using a raised voice to my mum. I invited him in to see her.....she was watching her favourite programme and this is going to be amusing so I let him go in and introduce himself once, twice...louder, three times...quite loud......silence. No way is she going to speak to him when she is watching her programme. So then he shout hello....she looks round briefly as I say to him please...you are raising your voice to my mum. he was just about to say something when he realised the humour , shook his head apologised and left

Bert feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. 'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was In the den. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what .' Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?

No response.

So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?'

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again he gets no response. So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away.

'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. 'Peg, what's for dinner?'

(I just love this)??

'For F*-#?? sake, Bert, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!'

WARNING POLITICAL JOKE:
While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer the doctor struck up a conversation with the older man. Eventually the topic of elections and politicians came up and what each thought of the potential leaders.

The old farmer said ‘Well ya know, most politicians are like post turtles’

‘Post turtles?’ queried the doctor

‘Yup Post turtles….when ya drive down the road and ya see a turtle on a fence post thats a post turtle’

The doctor still looked puzzled. The old farmer continued ‘Now y’all know he didn’t get up there by himself, he don’t belong up there, he don’t know what to do while he is up there, see he is elevated beyond his ability to function and you have to wonder what dumb arse thought it would be a good idea to put him up there to begin with’

Thats a pretty good explanation of politicians everywhere methinks

Three nuns die and go to heaven. They are greeted by St. Peter who informs them that everyone entering heaven must past an intelligence test. But since they were nuns and had devoted their lives to Jesus, the questions would be really easy.

St. Pete turns to the first nun and asks, "Name three of Jesus' disciples."
"Oh that's easy," the first nun replies, "Matthew, John, and James."
The bells ring and the lights flash and the pearly gates open and the first nun enters.

St. Pete turns to the second nun and asks, "Who was Moses?"
The nun confidently replies, "Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt into the promised land."
And the bells ring and the lights flash and the pearly gates open a second time and the second nun enters.

Finally, St. Pete addresses the third nun. "What was the first thing Eve said when she saw Adam?"
The third nun pauses for a long moment and mutters, "Gosh, that's a hard one."
And the bells ring and the lights flash and the pearly gates open....

Now I know this is an old joke but it does make me smile:
Two nuns sat at a traffic light in their car when a bunch of
rowdy drunks pull up alongside. "Hey! Let's see your boobies,
you stuck up penguins! shouts one of the drunks.

The Mother Superor turns to Sister Immuaculata and says, "I
don't think they know who we are. Show them your cross."

So Sister Immaculata rolls down her window and shouts,
"%^&$ off you nasty little £$%^&, before I come over there and
rip your t3tsic@l3s off!"

Sister Immaculata looks back at the Mother Superior and asks,
"Was that cross enough?"

Assandache - that was hilarious! My hubby is forever coming home from work and telling me some bathroom thing that happened that day - remarkable to now know there are code names for it all and it's just not him. Had to cut/paste the entire thing and email it to him. Thanks for my only laugh today, I needed it!

So a DEA officer comes up to a farmer and declares he is going to search the farm for illegal marijuana crops. Farmer says "Yup, fine, just stay out of the field over there." The DEA officers retorts " This is a drug investigation" and shows his badge "You better respect this badge" and decides to start with the suspicious area. A few minutes later he is running across the field screaming, with an angry bull in pursuit. The farmer runs to the fence and yells "Show him your BADGE!"

Mince, yup, that's an oldie. Heard it in the sixth grade....Here's another animal husbandry joke. Should we be ashamed of ourselves?

The bulls on the ranch have heard a rumor that the rancher has just bought the biggest,,baddest, meanest bull in all of Texas. The local bulls are all talking trash about how they ain't taking no crap from this new guy and he's not gonna get any of my cows, now way, no how.

A few days later a cattle truck backs up to the pasture gate. Before the Cowboys can even open the doors a huge roaring, stomping, snot slinging bull comes storming down the ramp. All the other Bulls take a step back in fear. But one small young bull runs forward, snorting and pawing the ground. His buddies yell, are you nuts? What are you doing? Well, I just want to make sure he knows I'm a Bull!

Windy....this one's especially for you....

The rancher decides that his 2 bulls are getting a little old so he goes to the bull sale and selects 2 fine virgin bulls to add to the herd. The rancher turns in the new bulls with the older more experienced bulls so that they can learn the pasture, where the water is, etc.

Finally the day the rancher turns the cows in with the bulls comes! The bulls are all standing on the top of the hill while the gates are open and the cows are let in. The young bulls are so excited they can hardly contain themselves. The young bulls tell the old bulls...."hey, lets run down the hill and breed a couple of them"! The old bulls say....sonny boys.....lets WALK down the hill and take care of them all."

A farmer had some prize sows that he wanted to breed with a good hog and make piglets for his kids 4 H project. He heard about a state fair winner blue ribbon hog down the road a ways , calls the other farmer and arranged for his sows to be bred.

He loads these big fat sows on his truck, hauls then to the other farm where they are set loose in a pen with this stud hog. To state it mildly, it was an energetic session. He loads the sows back on the truck and asks the owner of the hog how can I tell this took? The owner said that if the sows were lying around in the shady part of the pen in the morning it probably didn't take and to bring them back.

The next morning he gets up, looks out the window and his three sows were asleep in the shade. He loads them up and repeats the trip.

This goes on for three days. On the fourth morning he just can't bear to look and nudges his wife awake and asks her to look out and see what the sows were doing. She takes a look and tells him, well, its just the damnnest thing....Two sows are in the back of the truck and the third is in the cab trying to get it started.
