What did the male magnet say to the female magnet?

From your backside, I thought you were repulsive. However, after seeing you from the front, I find you rather attractive.

This was told to me by a fella from a long way away.  The names have been changed to protect the identity of those involved in the tragic incident.  Let's just say that my friend was from Island B.

There were two islands near each other.  And like any neighbour, they had a long-standing rivalry.  One day, it got so bad, they declared war.

For the first act of war, Island A threw hand grenades at Island B.  

The people of Island B looked closely at the grenades and picked them up.  They then took the pins out and threw them back.


My question to him at this stage was "why did they throw the pins back?"

Funny... I never heard from him again after that.

On coming home from a late night at the office, the partner at a presigious law firm discovered that his basement was flooded. He summoned a plumber. The plumber arrived soon afterward, with a spare set of overalls and a cap that said "Blue Collar Guy".

The lawyer, still dressed in his an expensive suit, silk tie, and gleaming wingtips, chuckled. "I like your hat," he said. "But you're the first plumber I've met who brought a change of clothes to a job." The plumber smiled.

The plumber went down into the basement, and the lawyer heard him working downstairs. Before too long, the plumber came back upstairs. "I'm almost done down there. I'm going to write up your bill, then I'm going to go out to my truck for a tool I need to finish up."

The plumber added, "The overalls and hat you asked me about, they're not for me. I'm looking for a new assistant, and I was hoping you might know somebody who wanted the job." The lawyer responded, with more than a hint of condescension, "I'm a lawyer. Who would I know who would want to work as a plumber?" The plumber shrugged, and handed the lawyer his bill.

A couple of minutes later, when the plumber returned from his truck, found the lawyer, dressed in the hat and overalls. "I had a chance to look over your bill while you were out," the lawyer said. "You found yourself an assistant."

Moon joke time...

Did you hear about the bones they found on the moon?
It seems like the cow did not make it.


What holds the moon up?
Moonbeams.


How do you know when the moon is going broke?
When it's down to its last quarter.

While shopping at the grocery store, I noticed that the tuna packed in spring water was labeled dolphin safe, but the tuna packed in oil was not.
I mentioned this fact to the cashier and mused out loud, "I wonder why?"
The cashier thought for a minute, and replied, "Must be because the oil would suffocate them."

A rather attractive woman goes up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the barman who comes over immediately.
When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face close to hers. When he does so, she begins to gently caress his beard, which is full and bushy.
'Are you the manager?' she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands.
'Actually, no,' he replies.
'Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him,' she says, running her hands up beyond his beard and into his hair.
'I'm afraid I can't,' breathes the barman, clearly aroused. 'Is there anything I can do?'
‘Yes there is. I need you to give him a message,' she continues huskily, popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them. 'Tell him,' she says, 'that there is no toilet paper or hand soap in the ladies' bathroom.'

In the mid-sixties, there was a hippy named Benny in San Francisco.
Benny was real hip, but he just couldn't grow a beard like the rest of the flower child guys in Haight-Ashbury.
One day Benny met up with a Gypsy Lady who liked him enough to grant him a wish, so, naturally, Benny wished for a beard.
Gypsy Lady granted the wish but warned him to ALWAYS wear the beard, never cut it off.
Well, the years went by, the flower children aged, the hippy movement sorta died out, Benny went on to a career as a successful financial adviser.
Benny decided the beard no longer fit his image so, ignoring the Gypsy Lady's warnings, he shaved it off.
**POOF** Benny disintegrated into a pile of ashes, the janitor swept him up and deposited him in a jar.
Moral of the story: A Benny shaved is a Benny urned.

The police arrested a man for selling a "secret formula that will give you eternal life!" for medical fraud.
It's not the first time he was arrested for this.

He was also arrested in 1794, 1856, 1928 and 1983.

I heard this many years ago.

An explorer came across a group of starving porpoises.   The porposes explained that they  were immortal  except they needed seagulls to eat.
Their problem was that their route to the seagulls was blocked by two sleeping lions.  The explorer, full of good intentions, went off and shot some gulls to bring to the porposes.   As he quietly walked past the lions with the gulls he was arrested by the game warden.

The charge? Transporting gulls across staid lions for immortal porposes.

A psychiatrist,  a pediatrician,  and an HMO manager approach the Pearly Gates.  The psychiatrist makes the case that she has helped people through troubling times in their lives. She is allowed to enter.

The pediatrician is next and stated he specialized in working with children with disabilities.  He is allowed to enter.

The HMO manager next states he has helped thousands have access to quality health care.  He is allowed to enter but he is limited to 3 days.

A pirate walks into a bar.  The bartender says, " I haven't seen you in a while .  How have you been doing?"

The pirate responds, " I have been doing pretty well. "

The bartender says, "really? The last time I say you, you didn't have the wooden leg."

The priate explains that it was taken off by a cannon ball.  He goes on to say, " other than that, I have been fine."

The bartender next questions the new hook replacing the pirate's right hand.  

The pirate responds, " I was boarding a ship, got into a sword fight, and it was cut off.  But I am doing great now."

The bartender then asks, " What about that patch over your eye?"

The pirate responds, " A seagull was flying over, and I looked up."

The bartender objects, " That couldn't have done in you eye".

The pirate explains, "it was my first day with the hook."

The second to last joke reminded me of the oneliner on psychiatry - when you improve, they let you sit up on the couch.

It is necessary, therefore it is possible.

Self assessment:

You are presented with a bathtub full of water.   And, you are given a spoon, a cup, and a bucket.

How would you empty the tub?  .......................................................................................................
...............................................................................................A normal person would pull the plug.

A homesteader approaches an attorney for a divorce from his wife.

The attorneys asks: Do you have grounds?

The homesteader responds: 20 acres.

The attorney clarifies:  No. I mean do you have a case?

The homesteader responds:  No, but I have a John Deere.


The attorney trys again:  Do you have a grudge?

The homesteader states:  That is where I keep the John Deere

The attorney trys to focus:   Let's talk about the suit

The homesteader says:  I don't see where that matters, but yes I wear it to church every Sunday

The attorney then asks: Does she beat you up?

The homesteader responds:  Nope. We both get up at 5 Oclock every morning.

The attorney,  fed up, blurts out: Just tell me why you want a divorce

The homesteader replies:  I have never been able to communicate with that darned woman
