Did you hear about the two blood corpuscles named Romeo and Juliet?
They loved in vein.

"Marriage" -- the process of finding out what kind of person your
spouse would prefer.

"Coming from the Soviet Union I was not prepared for the incredible
variety of products available in American grocery stores. I saw
powdered milk -- you just add water and you get milk. I saw powdered
orange juice -- you just add water and you get orange juice. Then I
saw baby powder and thought, 'what a country.'" -- Yakov Smirnoff

A scientist, trying to prove his theorem, was doing a large experiment
with liquid chemicals when he fell into the vat and became part of the solution.


Bumper sticker we saw:
I'VE BEEN CALLED WORSE.


"Relax and make yourself at home -- I'm not quite ready," the woman
said to her blind date. "Feel free to play with my little dog Shelby if
you like." The man found a toy and idly tossed it. The eager little
dog fetched, her tail wagging wildly for another turn. He tossed the ball again, and the dog scurried after it. He hurled the toy harder, and
this time it bounced out an open window. To his horror, the little pet
jumped out after the ball, falling 20 stories down.

Just then the woman entered the room. "So, how did you and little
Shelby get along?" "Well," the man shrugged, "she seemed a little
depressed..."

If restaurant waiters acted like Microsoft support staff

Patron: Waiter!

Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill and I'll be your Support Waiter.
What seems to be the problem?

Patron: There's a fly in my soup!

Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.

Patron: No, it's still there.

Waiter: Maybe it's the way you're eating the soup;
try eating it with a fork instead.

Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.

Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl;
what kind of bowl are you using?

Patron: A SOUP bowl!

Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem;
how was the bowl set up?

Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer;
what has that to do fly in my soup?

Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before
you noticed the fly with the fork in your soup?

Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!

Waiter: Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?

Patron: You have more than one Soup of the Day each day?

Waiter: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.

Patron: Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?

Waiter: The current Soup of the Day is tomato.

Patron: Fine. Bring me the tomato soup and the check.
I'm running late now.

[Waiter leaves and returns with another
bowl of soup and the check.]

Waiter: Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check.

Patron: This is potato soup.

Waiter: Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet.

Patron: Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything.

[Waiter leaves.]

Patron: Waiter! There's a gnat in my soup!

A man and his wife were driving on the highway when a state policeman
appeared in their mirror, obviously wanting them to pull over. The man
pulls over and the officer approaches the car.

State cop: "License and registration please."
Man: "I'm sorry officer, what seems to be the problem?"
State cop: "I clocked you on radar doing 75mph."
Man: "There must be some mistake, I was only going 65."
Wife: "Oh Harold, you were going at least 80!"

State cop: "I'm also citing you for having a tail light out."
Man: "But officer, I wasn't aware it was out."
Wife: "Oh Harold, you know it's been out for two months."

State Cop: "I'm also fining you for not wearing your seat belt."
Man: "But officer, I just took it off as you were approaching my car."
Wife: "Oh Harold, you know you never wear your seat belt."

Man: "Listen you dumb woman, shut your stupid mouth!!!"
State Cop:"Ma'am does he always talk to you this way?"
Wife: "Only when he's drunk......."

The following are ads from a real-life newspaper which appeared four
days in a row - the last three hopelessly trying to correct the first
day's mistake.

MONDAY: For sale: R.D. Jones has one sewing machine for sale.
Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M.. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him
cheap.

TUESDAY: Notice: We regret having erred in R.D. Jones' ad yesterday.
It should have read "One sewing machine for sale cheap. Phone 948-0707
and ask for Mrs. Kelly, who lives with him after 7 P.M."

WEDNESDAY: Notice: R.D. Jones has informed us that he has received
several annoying telephone calls because of the error we made in the
classified ad. The ad stands correct as follows: "For sale -- R.D.
Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M.
and ask for Mrs. Kelly who loves with him."

THURSDAY: Notice: I, R.D. Jones, have no sewing machine for sale. I
smashed it. Don't call 948-0707 as I have had the phone disconnected. I
have not been carrying on with Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday she was my housekeeper but she quit!
