An interesting factoid. The Canary Islands don't have any canaries. Same with the Virgin Islands- no canaries there either!

An old man in charge of the hire boats at the lake, picks up his binoculars and peers towards the goings on out on the water. He then picks up his megaphone and says Boat number 61! Your time is up- please return to shore. Little kid standing next to him says You haven't got sixty one boats. Old feller thinks about it and says By golly you're right. Boat number nineteen- are you experiencing difficulties?

I was at a friends funeral. I stood up and asked the widow if I could say something. She said Please- go ahead. So I said Plethora, and sat down. She said Thank you- it means a lot.

There was an old farmer who was well known for his huge collection of John Deere machinery, all maintained and running. Eventually he got too old to stay on the farm alone so he sold off the collection and moved into a nursing home. Not long after he was woken by the sounds of fire alarms and people yelling and panicking. The rooms and hallways in the nursiong home were quickly filling with smoke. The old feller stood near the exit, inhaled deeply and blew a cloud of smoke outside. In no time he'd cleared enough smoke that people could see to evacuate the building. A reporter later told him they were calling it a miracle. The old farmer said No, not really- I'm just an old ex tractor fan.  (Insert groans here    )

Chocolate comes from cocoa, which comes from a tree.
That makes chocolate a plant.
Therefore, chocolate counts as a salad.

A lot of people don't know you are actually born with four kidney's.
As you grow up two of them become adult knees.

The English tour guide was showing a group of American tourists through the castle which was supposedly the final home of the legendary Robin Hood. As they entered the huge bedroom high in the castle, the tour guide said This is the room where Robin took his last breath. Poisoned by a jealous woman, he lay in this very bed, surrounded by his faithful band of Merry Men, who at that moment were crying quietly and feeling anything but merry. Robin weakly beckoned his friend Little John to his bedside. In little more than a whisper, he said John, I have one final favour to ask of you. Bring me my bow and a single arrow. He gestured towards the open window and said I will release this final shaft, and wherever it may fall, there I ask that you place my body to lie for all eternity. Will you do this for me my friend? Yes Robin, said John, sobbing. He helped Robin to an almost sitting position, placed the arrow on the string and supported his friend as with trembling hands and failing strength, he drew back the bow as far as he was able and released the arrow, before slumping down and breathing no more.
Little John and the Merry Men did exactly as Robin had asked, placing his body where the arrow fell. And that is why to this very day, the mortal remains of Robin Hood lie atop that oak wardrobe in the corner over there.

I bought a pair of shoes with memory foam insoles.
No more forgetting why I walked into a room now.

I woke up this morning determined to eat right, drink less, exercise more.
That was four hours ago, I was younger then and full of hope.

I told a friend that I invented a thought controlled air freshener.

He said "That's ridiculous!"

I said "It makes scents when you think about it."

When a lady's son was going on 10 years old she started to be bothered he didn't look anything like his parents.

Sooo, she had a DNA test done and it turned out that no, he wasn't related to either of them.

She's telling her husband who is unperturbed and she gets exasperated with him about it.

He said "I'm not surprised at all. Remember when we were leaving the hospital and he pooped?

You said take him back in and change him, so I changed him for a clean one."

I love board games.
My favorite one is where people put meat and cheese on a board,
maybe some fruit and crackers.
I'm so good at that one!

A teenage boy tells his father, “Dad, there’s trouble with the car, it has water in the carburetor.” The father looks confused and says, “Water in the carburetor, that’s ridiculous!” But the son insists. “I tell you, the car has water in the carburetor.”

His father, starting to get a little nervous, says “You don’t even know what a carburetor is…. but I will check it out. Where is the car?”

“It’s in the pool.”
