When I was in college, I broke up with this girl who said she couldn’t live without me. I just found out she is still alive . . . more lies.

I figure if someone from the future hasn’t tried to stop me, I can’t be messing up that bad.

Paddy and Murphy are working on a building site. Paddy says to Murphy, “I’m gonna get the day off. I’m gonna pretend I’ve gone mad!” He climbs up the rafters, hangs upside down and shouts “I’m a lightbulb, I’m a lightbulb!”

Murphy watches in amazement.

The foreman shouts: “Paddy, go home. You’ve gone mad.”

So Paddy leaves the site. Murphy starts packing is kit up to leave as well.

“Where do you think you’re going?” asks the foreman.

“Well, I can’t work in the dark!” said Murphy.

Real funny, Scotty, now beam down my clothes!

Seamus and Patrick were building a house. Seamus was hammering the cladding onto the walls on one side of the house, while Patrick was doing the same on the other side.

After a wee while Seamus begins to notice that Patrick was swearing away a good deal more than he usually did, so he decided to wander over to the other side of the house to see what was wrong.

"Hey, Patrick, what's troubling you so mightily?" asked Seamus.

"Well, you see, it's these nails," said Patrick, gesturing towards the bucket of nails sitting beside him. "A lot of them are faulty. When I pull one out, half the time it's facing the wrong way."

"You idiot, Patrick!" said Seamus. "They're for my side of the house."

Real funny, Scotty, now beam down my clothes!

This just in from my 7-year-old daughter (She came up with it herself!) --

What's between your chin and your nose?

Between your chin and your nose lives tulips.

A man goes to the hospital for a routine operation.
He wakes up alone in a hospital bed with an IV. Moving around, he notices the white hospital sheets are covered with shit. He literally shit the bed. Completely embarrassed and panicking about what the nurses will say, he takes them off the bed and tosses them out the window onto the street below, where they land on a drunk man who was sleeping under his window. He woke up startled and he started trying to punch the bedsheet away. As he did this, he got tangled in the bedsheet and he started fighting it even more furiously, smearing everything with what was inside the bedsheet. A policeman saw this and he approached the man.
"What's going on here?"
The drunk looked puzzled, "I'm not sure. I think I beat the shit out of a ghost."

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Bob is absolutely obsessed with tractors, you know the drill: tractor duvet, tractor curtains, tractor pajamas, tractor in the garage, founder of the tractor appreciation society etc.

But he can't find a girlfriend. So his mum tells to go and see the doctor find out if there anything he can do. Off Bob trots to the doctor who tells him to give up on tractors and women will be much more interested. Bob agrees.

The next week Bob gets a date with a curvaceous lady and he cannot believe his luck. He takes her to the swankiest bar in town and begins to wine and dine her.

She comments to Bob that the bar is very smokey and it's irritating her contact lenses. "Don't worry!" says Bob and he stands up on his chair, inhales deeply and all the smoke in the room is inhaled into his mouth and disappears.

"My God how did you do that?" asks his date. "That's easy" says Bob, "I'm an ex-tractor-fan!!"

Grandma on her deathbed is saying to her grandchild:

-"I want to leave you a my farm, which includes fields, a tractor, other equipment and 2.000.000 dollars."

Now grandchild becomes so happy because he became a millionaire and says:

-"Oh, grandma, you're so kind to me I didn't even know you had a farm. Where is it located?"

With the last breath grandma lets out:

-"On facebook..."

A wise old gentleman retired and he bought a modest home near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in a peaceful and silent place. Then a new school year began. The very next afternoon, everything changed. Three young boys, who were full of joy after they left the school, walked down the gentleman’s street. They were beating almost on every trashcan they met. They did the same thing every other day. The wise old man got an idea and decided to do something about it.
The next afternoon, he went out on the street to meet the young boys. He stopped them and said,
“You kids are a lot of fun. You know, I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I’ll give you each a dollar if you‘ll promise to come here every day and do this.”
The kids were so happy to hear this and continued to beat the trashcans.
After a few days, the old man greeted the kids again. But this time he had a sad smile on his face.
“This recession is a bit harsh on me,” he told them. “From now on, I’ll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on the cans.”
The noisemakers weren’t happy about it, but they accepted his offer and continued their job. A few days later, the old man met them again when they were drumming on the street.
“Look,” he said, “I haven’t received my Social Security check yet. So I’m not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be okay?”
“Only 25 cents?” one of the boys exclaimed. “If you think we’re going to waste our time, and beat these cans around for 25 cents, you’re silly! No way. We quit!”
And the old man enjoyed peace and calm around his house for the rest of his days.

I am having a rough day. I got up and put on my shirt and a button came off. I tried to open a drawer in the kitchen, and the handle came off. I went to the back door to feed the livestock and the door knob came off. Frankly, I am terrified to go to the bathroom.

As I get older, I spend a good deal of time thinking about those childhood events that seemed pointless at the time, but now I can see their importance. For example, all those spankings I got from Mrs Fox in the 3rd grade. I would pay good money for them now.

In surgery for a heart attack, a middle-aged woman has a vision of God by her bedside. “Will I die?” she asks. God says, “No. You have 30 more years to live.” With 30 years to look forward to, she decides to make the best of it. So since she’s in the hospital, she gets breast implants, liposuction, a tummy tuck, hair transplants, and collagen injections in her lips. She looks great! The day she’s discharged, she exits the hospital with a swagger, crosses the street, and is immediately hit by an ambulance and killed.
Up in heaven, she sees God. “You said I had 30 more years to live,” she complains. “That’s true,” says God. “So what happened?” she asks. God shrugs, “I didn’t recognize you.”
