Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other
"Do you know how to drive this thing?"

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!

The Parking Spot

A man was franticly trying to find a parking space at a baseball game and was speeding around the parking lot as he'd already missed the first inning of this game he had been waiting for all year. He was feeling quite desperate and didn't know what to do so he started to pray and said "God, I know I haven't lived a good life, but if you can grant me a parking space I promise you that I'll never miss church again, I'll stop drinking and I'll give generously to charities."

Just then a car pulled out of an amazing space right by the front gate and right in front of him! So the guy said to God "Never mind, I just found one!"

A real estate salesman had just closed his first deal, only to discover that the piece of land he had sold was completely under water. "That customer is going to come back here pretty mad," he told his boss. "Should I give him his money back?"
"Money back? Are you crazy?" roared the boss. "What kind of a salesman are you? Get out there and sell him a houseboat!"

Pearl's commentaries on the previous joke: I have issues with what is called Suspension of Disbelief, I tend to analyze movies etc "If you hadn't told that lie to start with, this whole plot wouldn't have happened." Yeah, I know means there wouldn't have been a movie either, just something I don't do well. So that joke bugs me, how could a piece of property be bought and sold by two people and neither one of them looked at it? That's just wrong on too many levels.

The other thought, though, is what would permaculture design say about this? One of the things you identify on your property is what is unchangeable and must be worked with, worked into your design, made into an asset instead of a liability. Land that is underwater can be worked with. Houseboat, see the seasteading threads here, fish farming, grow organic seaweeds. Underwater house, or better yet, think how QUIET that house would be, underwater bed and breakfast, or meditative retreat, the ultimate quiet vacation! This could be worked with! :D

This guy is dining alone in a fancy restaurant and there's a beautiful redhead sitting at the next table. He's been sneakily checking her out ever since he arrived, but doesn't have the courage to start talking to her.

Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. His reflexes kick in and he reaches out, plucks it out of the air, and hands it back to her.
The redhead is mortified. "Oh my, I am so sorry," she says as she pops her eye back into place. "Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you."

So he joins her table and they enjoy a wonderful meal together. Afterwards they go to the theatre followed by drinks at a bar. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.

After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap. He says yes and they return to her place.
He ends up staying the night. The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed at how everything has been so perfect and how incredible this woman is. He can't believe his luck. "You know," he said, "you are the perfect woman, are you this nice to every guy you meet?"

"No," she replies, "You just happened to catch my eye."

Four college students decide to get drunk the night before their final exam. They get so drunk they wake up late and completely miss their final. The four students go to their professor, and explain this elaborate lie that when they were on their way to the final that their car tire went flat. They beg for a retest, and the professor agrees.

The day of the make up test the four boys all arrive on time, completely sober. The professor looks at the boys, looks at his watch, and says “you may begin the test”.

The four boys open their final booklet and to their surprise they each only have one question.

“Which tire was flat?”

A college professor asked his class a question: If Philadelphia is 100 miles from New York, and Chicago is 1000 miles from Philadelphia, and Los Angles is 2000 miles from Chicago, how old am I? A student in the back of the class raised his hand and when called upon said "Professor, you are 44."

The professor said "you are absolutely correct,but tell me, how did you arrive at the question so quickly?"

The student said "You see, I have a brother, he's 22, and he's half nuts."

A man walks into a rooftop bar and takes a seat next to another guy. “What are you drinking?” he asks the guy.

“Magic beer,” he says.

“Oh, yeah? What’s so magical about it?”

Then he shows him: He swigs some beer, dives off the roof, flies around the building, then finally returns to his seat with a triumphant smile.

“Amazing!” the man says. “Lemme try some of that!” The man grabs the beer. He downs it, leaps off the roof —and plummets 15 stories to the ground.

The bartender shakes his head. “You know, you’re a real jerk when you’re drunk, Superman.”

This happened yesterday.

I ordered a multigrain bagel at Starbucks. The cashier said "Can I get a name for the bagel?"

I thought about it briefly, then said, "I guess we could call him Gus or Lumpy. But it can be really awkward, if your name something that you're going to eat."

This one will be added to my limited repertoire, whether they ask for a name for my next food order or for shoes checked at a bowling alley... and suddenly it's 1950 and we're talking about bowling. :-)

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
If it comes out of the ground easily, it was a valuable plant.

I was listening to the radio and someone mentioned getting out of the rat race. It occurred to me that rats set their own hours and aren't really part of that race.

I had my wife draw the cartoon below. I think my words need to go in a little caption thing or maybe it's called a word bubble to show what the rat is thinking.

Maybe he needs a briefcase or something else to indicate that he quit a job. Cartoon animals often have jobs usually reserved for humans. :-)

I'm so happy, now that I've dropped out of the people race.

An Australian man and his wife are sitting in their living room watching TV.

Bruce turns to Shirley and says: ‘Just so you know, Shirl, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.’

So Shirl gets up, unplugs the TV and throws out all his beer.

A blonde sees a redhead jumping up and down on a railroad track saying, "22, 22, 22...", and asks if she can join her. Redhead says sure. Holding hands, they jump up and down saying, "22, 22, 22...". A train comes a long. Redhead jumps off. Blonde gets whacked by the train. Redhead gets back on the track and jumps up and down saying, "23, 23, 23...".

The new Priest was so nervous at his first mass he could hardly speak. He asked the bishop how he could relax. Bishop said, “Next week, put vodka in the water pitcher. After a few sips, everything should run smoothly.” Next Sunday, the new priest tried that. After returning to the rectory, he found a note from the Bishop…

Next time sip, rather than gulp.
There are 10 Commandments, not 12.
There are 12 Disciples, not 10.
David slew Goliath, he didn’t kick the shit out of him.
We do not refer to Jesus Christ and his Apostles as “J.C. and the boys.”
Next week there is a taffy pulling contest at St. Peters, not a Peter pulling contest at St. Taffy.
We do not refer to the cross as “The Big T.”
We do not refer to the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost as “Big Daddy, Junior and the Spook.”
The recommended way of saying grace is not Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, Yea God!”
And last but not least, it is the “Virgin Mary,” not “Mary with the cherry.”

WooHoo….thanks for the new flush of jokes guys! Here's another short one:

Which weighs more, a gallon of water or a gallon of butane?

The water, because butane is lighter fluid.

(For those with enquiring minds, liquid butane is actually much lighter. Liquid butane has a density only about 58% that of water....wow, that is lighter fluid!)
