    I asked my daughter if she’d seen my newspaper. She told me that newspapers are old school. She said that people use tablets nowadays and handed me her iPad.

    That fly didn’t stand a chance.

    If you pull the pin on a grenade, how do you put it back in?

    I'd appreciate a quick answer.

    First time I heard about paraprosdokians, I liked them.
    Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a
    sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected and is frequently
    humorous. (Sir Winston Churchill loved them).


    1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

    2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you ...but it's still on my list.

    3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright
    until you hear them speak.

    4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    5. We never really grow up -- we only learn how to act in public.

    6. War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

    7. Knowledge, is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it
    in a fruit salad.

    8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

    9. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

    10. In filling out an application, where it says, "In case of an
    emergency, notify..." I answered "a doctor."

    11. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the
    street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

    12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute
    to skydive twice.

    13. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

    14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever
    you hit the target.

    15. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, any more than
    standing in a garage makes you a car.

    16. You're never too old to learn something stupid.

    17. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and
    harder for me to find someone older than me.

    Sadly this is true!!! Spread the Laughter, Share the Cheer, Let's be
    Happy, while we're here!

    An Obituary printed in the Times.....Absolutely Dead Brilliant!!



    Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.

    No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:



    - Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
    - Why the early bird gets the worm;
    - Life isn't always fair;
    - And maybe it was my fault.



    Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).



    His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.



    Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.



    It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.



    Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.



    Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.



    Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.



    Common Sense was preceded in death,
    -by his parents, Truth and Trust,
    -by his wife, Discretion,
    -by his daughter, Responsibility,
    -and by his son, Reason.



    He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
    - I Know My Rights
    - I Want It Now
    - Someone Else Is To Blame
    - I'm A Victim
    - Pay me for Doing Nothing



    Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing

    Blessed are those that can give without remembering, and take without forgetting.



    One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.'



    The florist was pleased and left the shop.



    When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.



    Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.



    The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you ' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.



    Then a MP came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill , the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The MP was very happy and left the shop



    The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen MPs lined up waiting for a free haircut.



    And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.



    As Margaret Thatcher said: Both politicians and nappies need to be changed often and for the same reason!



    If you don't forward this you have no sense of humor.

    Why is every Gender Equality Officer that you've seen a female?

    Because it's cheaper.

    Last month, a world-wide telephone survey was conducted by the UN.
    The only question asked was:

    "Would you please give your honest opinion about possible solutions
    to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
    The survey was a complete failure because:-

    In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
    In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
    In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
    In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
    In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
    In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
    In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.





    And in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Great Britain
    everyone hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
