When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5439601501300400574-4756495327762728491?l=burkejokeworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/feeds/4756495327762728491/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5439601501300400574&amp;postID=4756495327762728491' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/4756495327762728491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/4756495327762728491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/2010/09/jokes-10b.html' title='Jokes &apos;11A'/><author><name>Joker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439601501300400574.post-4419419582488698372</id><published>2010-08-01T19:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T20:49:10.239-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jokes '10A</title><content type='html'>&lt;a man="" seeking="" join="" birmingham="" city="" police="" department="" being="" sergeant="" doing="" interview="" qualifications="" look="" there="" an="" attitude="" suitability="" test="" must="" before="" sliding="" 357="" magnum="" service="" across="" take="" revolver="" go="" shoot="" illegal="" meth="" six="" muslim="" why="" asks="" great="" says="" fried="" bacon="" ain="" worth="" run="" your="" into="" four="" men="" cab="" truck="" pack="" beer="" tow="" chain="" along="" try="" just="" their="" way="" what="" live="" surprised="" boiled="" movie="" rentals="" fishing="" bait="" same="" all="" plural="" worried="" don="" t="" understand="" hear="" y="" watch="" stay="" out="" his="" these="" likely="" last="" words="" he="" will="" ever="" if="" see="" turn="" signal="" blinking="" with="" southern="" license="" may="" rest="" assured="" when="" car="" was="" satellite="" dishes="" very="" popular="" they="" positioned="" front="" one="" s="" since="" cost="" considerably="" more="" than="" trailer="" be="" as="" are="" cursing="" person="" driving="" 15="" 55="" mph="" directly="" in="" middle="" many="" southerners="" learned="" drive="" on="" john="" this="" is="" proper="" speed="" lane="" position="" that="" can="" ask="" a="" southerner="" for="" but="" unless="" already="" know="" the="" positions="" of="" key="" trees="" and="" you="" re="" better="" off="" trying="" to="" find="" it=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Where's Grandpa?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;

The doctor pronounces the dog dead. The agitated man demands a second opinion.  The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat. The cat sniffs the body and meows. The vet says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too."  The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead.  The vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body and barks. The vet says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead, too."  The man finally resigns to the diagnosis and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650."  "$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaims the man.  "Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 is for the cat scan and lab tests."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Old Italian Golfer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  An 80-year-old Italian goes to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, ‘how do you stay in such great physical condition?'   I'm Italian and I am a golfer,' says the old guy, 'and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways.  I have a glass of vino, and all is well.'   'Well' says the doctor, 'I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your Father when he died?'   'Who said my Father's dead?'   The doctor is amazed. 'You mean you're 80 years old and your Father's still alive. How old is he?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'He's 100 years old,' says the Old Italian golfer.' In fact he golfed with me this morning.  Then we went to the topless beach for a walk and had a little vino.  That's why he's still alive. He's Italian and he's a golfer, too.'   'Well,' the doctor says, 'that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your Father's Father? How old was he when he died?'   'Who said my Nono's dead?'&lt;br /&gt;  Stunned, the doctor asks, 'you mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! Incredible, how old is he?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  'He's 118 years old,' says the Old Italian golfer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, 'So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?'   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'No, Nono couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today.'   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point the doctor is close to losing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Getting married! Why  would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  'Who said he wanted to?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Painting the Porch    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  blonde teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to  hire herself out as a "handy-woman" and started canvassing a  nearby  well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and  asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "Well,  I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said, "How much will you charge me?"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Delighted, the girl quickly responded, "How about $50?"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would need was in the garage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He  responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later  that day, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You're  finished already?" the startled husband asked.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes,  the blonde replied, and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two coats."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Impressed,  the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it to her  along with a $10.00 tip.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And  by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;World's shortest fairy tale &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'  The girl said, 'NO!' And the guy lived happily ever after and rode  motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf a lot and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The End.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Why Females Should Avoid A Girls Night Out After They Are Married&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls.' I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!' Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him.  (Even when totally smashed.. 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos =MIDNIGHT!) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him 'MIDNIGHT'... He didn't seem pissed off in the least.. Whew, I got away with that one!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.'  When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said 'oh shit.' Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Why our country is in trouble &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' our country is in trouble!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then she interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts.''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Without trying to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa ''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Her response -- click.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried t o explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I said, ''No.''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;5.  An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas . I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;6.  An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;7.  A New York lawmaker called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;She replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;After putting her on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;9.  I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;10. A lady Senator called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded him that he needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;12. A New Mexico Congress woman called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the lady.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;''The lady retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Could anyone be this DUMB?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I don't write it, I just offer it for your consideration. Like manure, you just gotta spread it around.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Man driving down road.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Woman driving up same road.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;They pass each other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The woman yells out the window, PIG!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Man yells out window, BITCH!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Man rounds next curve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Man crashes into a HUGE PIG in middle of road and dies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Thought For the Day:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;If men would just listen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Along comes a Game Warden in his boat.  He pulls up alongside the woman and says,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;'Good morning, Ma'am.  What are you doing?'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;'Yes, but you have all the equipment.

Next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Anonymous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;First Guy (proudly): "My wife's an angel!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Second Guy: "You're lucky, mine's still alive.."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anonymous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;1. A day without sunshine is like night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture most people have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;14. OK, so what's the speed of dark?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the heck happened?'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;22. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;23. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Snakes don't have a leg to stand on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;*****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;enior Sunday Morning Sex&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I will never hear church bells ringing again without smiling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5439601501300400574-4419419582488698372?l=burkejokeworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/feeds/4419419582488698372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5439601501300400574&amp;postID=4419419582488698372' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/4419419582488698372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/4419419582488698372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/2009/07/irish-jokes-09b.html' title='Jokes &apos;10A'/><author><name>Joker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439601501300400574.post-3604283551831151672</id><published>2009-10-03T09:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T20:51:15.899-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jokes'09B</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Happy Mental Health&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. &lt;br /&gt;Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.  One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edna promptly jumped in to save him.  She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.  When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news.  The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love.  I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him.  I am so sorry, but he's dead.'&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry.

The juries are not too swift either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some of the most egregious law suits in America during 2007....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Annual Stella Awards&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"! For&lt;br /&gt;those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named&lt;br /&gt;after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot&lt;br /&gt;coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's&lt;br /&gt;in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee. You&lt;br /&gt;remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it&lt;br /&gt;between her knees while she was driving. Who would&lt;br /&gt;ever think one could get burned doing that, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish&lt;br /&gt;lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds&lt;br /&gt;of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the Stella's for the past year:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7TH PLACE:&lt;br /&gt;Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded&lt;br /&gt;$80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her&lt;br /&gt;ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a&lt;br /&gt;furniture store. The store owners were understandably&lt;br /&gt;surprised by the verdict, considering the running&lt;br /&gt;toddler was her own son.&lt;br /&gt;The store now bans adults with children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6TH PLACE:&lt;br /&gt;Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won&lt;br /&gt;$74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran&lt;br /&gt;over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently&lt;br /&gt;didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the&lt;br /&gt;car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's&lt;br /&gt;hubcaps.&lt;br /&gt;All new Hodas will sound horn when gear shift moved to FWD or REV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5TH PLACE:&lt;br /&gt;Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, who was&lt;br /&gt;leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the&lt;br /&gt;garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic&lt;br /&gt;garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get&lt;br /&gt;the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter&lt;br /&gt;the house because the door connecting the garage to&lt;br /&gt;the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut Forced&lt;br /&gt;to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of&lt;br /&gt;Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the&lt;br /&gt;homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must&lt;br /&gt;pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all&lt;br /&gt;have this kind of anguish. From now on keep "Survival Rations" in the Garage...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4TH PLACE:&lt;br /&gt;Jerry Williams, of Little Rock , Arkansas , garnered&lt;br /&gt;4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500&lt;br /&gt;plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt&lt;br /&gt;by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the&lt;br /&gt;beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard.&lt;br /&gt;Williams did not get as much as he asked for because&lt;br /&gt;the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked&lt;br /&gt;at the time of the butt bite because Williams had&lt;br /&gt;climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly&lt;br /&gt;shot the dog with a pellet gun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a dog is to be kept outside, extract teeth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3RD PLACE:&lt;br /&gt;Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury&lt;br /&gt;ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500&lt;br /&gt;after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke&lt;br /&gt;her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30&lt;br /&gt;seconds earlier during an argument.. What ever happened&lt;br /&gt;to people being responsible for their own actions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From now on, only non-skid rugs on floor of resturants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2ND PLACE:&lt;br /&gt;Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a&lt;br /&gt;night club in a nearby city because she fell from the&lt;br /&gt;bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two&lt;br /&gt;front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to&lt;br /&gt;sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying&lt;br /&gt;the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club&lt;br /&gt;had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah,&lt;br /&gt;plus dental expenses. Go figure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hereafer, All nite clubs must have an exit door to the outside in ladies room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1ST PLACE: (May I have a fanfare played on 50 kazoos&lt;br /&gt;please) This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner&lt;br /&gt;was Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,&lt;br /&gt;who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On&lt;br /&gt;her first trip home, from an OU football game, having&lt;br /&gt;driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control&lt;br /&gt;at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to&lt;br /&gt;the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich.&lt;br /&gt;Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway,&lt;br /&gt;crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs.&lt;br /&gt;Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the&lt;br /&gt;owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the&lt;br /&gt;driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The&lt;br /&gt;Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down,&lt;br /&gt;$1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually&lt;br /&gt;changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just&lt;br /&gt;incase Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also&lt;br /&gt;buy a motor home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, like need to put a warning on guns and knives, "Using this on a Human can be Hazardous".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5439601501300400574-3604283551831151672?l=burkejokeworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/feeds/3604283551831151672/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5439601501300400574&amp;postID=3604283551831151672' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/3604283551831151672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/3604283551831151672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/2009/04/jokes09a.html' title='Jokes&apos;09B'/><author><name>Joker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439601501300400574.post-141746096876723792</id><published>2009-03-27T20:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T20:52:59.985-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jokes '09A</title><content type='html'>THE WORLD'S SHORTEST FAIRYTALE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?' The girl said:  'NO!' And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing, camping, drank martinis, ate chocolate, always had a clean house, never had to cook, did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn't get fat, traveled more, had many lovers, didn't save money, and had all the hot water to herself. She went to the theater, never watched wrestling , never wore friggin' lacy lingerie that went up her ass, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, felt and looked fabulous in sweat pants and was pleasant all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE END&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 Old Guys&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Sixty is the worst age to be,' said the 60-year-old man. 'You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time you stand there and nothing comes out.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Ah, that's nothin,' said the 70-year-old. 'When you're seventy, you don't have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Actually,' said the 80-year -old, 'Eighty is the worst age of all.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Do you have trouble peeing, too?' asked the 60-year old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'No, I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'No, I have one every morning at 6:30.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exasperated, the 60-year-old said, 'You pee every morning at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what's so bad about being 80?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I don't wake up until 7:00.'&lt;br /&gt;A Blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says, "Six Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blonde starts crying to her husband, sobbing "That's horrible."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confused, he says, "Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is that risk involved."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, says, "How many is a Brazilian?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk. He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every   day and knew a lot about ranching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, 'You have done a  really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock and no hired   hand. Finally he returned around two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine,  waiting   for him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She quietly called him over to her. 'Unbutton my blouse and take it off,'  she said. Trembling , he did as she directed. 'Now take off my boots.' He did as she asked, ever so slowly. 'Now take off my socks.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots. 'Now take off my skirt.' He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire   light. 'Now take off my bra.' Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she looked at him and said, 'If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(P.S. - Yeah, I didn't see it coming, either)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fishing Trip&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   He began his day with an 8lb walleye on the first cast and a 7lb on the second. On the third cast he had just caught his first ever walley over 11 pounds when his cell phone rang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best day ever on the water. He decided to get in a couple of more casts before heading to the hospital. He ended up fishing the rest of the morning, finishing his trip with a stringer like he'd never seen, with 3 walleye over 10 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   He was jubilant........then he remembered his wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your fishing trip didn't you?! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the pond your wife has been languishing in the ICU!! It's just as well you went ahead and finished because it will be more than likely the last fishing trip you ever take! For the rest of her life she will require round the clock care. And you'll be her care giver forever!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   The doctor then chuckled and said........"I'm just screwing with ya. She's dead. What'd you catch?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;           &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NEW DRUGS FOR WOMEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           DAMNITOL&lt;br /&gt;           Take 2 and the rest of the world can go to hell for up to 8 full hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           EMPTYNESTROGEN&lt;br /&gt;           Suppository that eliminates melancholy and loneliness by reminding you of how awful they were as teenagers and how you couldn't wait till they moved out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           ST.

Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful. He&lt;br /&gt;asked the waiter, 'What is that you just served?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The waiter replied, 'Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those are called Cojones&lt;br /&gt;de Toro, bull's testicles from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cowboy said, 'What the heck, bring me an order.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The waiter replied, 'I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving per day&lt;br /&gt;because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early and place your&lt;br /&gt;order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order, and that evening was served&lt;br /&gt;the one and only special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, inspecting his&lt;br /&gt;platter, he called to the waiter and said, 'These are delicious, but they are&lt;br /&gt;much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'Si,Senor. Sometimes the bull&lt;br /&gt;wins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post Office Job&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear God,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edna&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear God,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the Post Office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edna&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Golf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sam stood over his tee shot on the 450 yard 18th hole for what seemed an eternity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He waggled, looked up, looked down, waggled again, but didn't start his back swing.&lt;br /&gt;Finally his exasperated partner asked, "What in the world is taking so long?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My wife is watching me from the clubhouse balcony," Sam explained. "I want to make a perfect shot."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His companion exclaimed.

During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but  notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer, was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Jennifer, and this had only made her more  curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Jennifer than met the eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian  volunteered, "I know what you&lt;br /&gt;must be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer  and I are just roommates."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to  find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do  you?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just&lt;br /&gt;to be sure.So he sat down and wrote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Mom:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not  saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm not saying  that you "did not" take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has  been missing ever since you were here for dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, Brian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Son:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not saying that you "do" sleep  with Jennifer, I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with Jennifer.  But  the fact remains that if Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would  have found the gravy ladle by now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, Mom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following are entries in a Washington Post contest, in which respondents had to write a two-line romantic poem...except that the last line had to be as un-romantic as the first line was romantic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife;&lt;br /&gt;Marrying you screwed up my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;&lt;br /&gt;This describes everything you are not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I thought that I could love no other;&lt;br /&gt;that is, until I met your brother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you ~&lt;br /&gt;But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I want to feel your sweet embrace;&lt;br /&gt;But don' t take that paper bag off your face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes;&lt;br /&gt;Damn, I'm good at telling lies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.

"I don't do drugs, either."&lt;br /&gt;   "Do you have many friends and entertain frequently?"&lt;br /&gt;   "I said, "No, I usually stay home and keep to myself".&lt;br /&gt;   "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"&lt;br /&gt;   I said, "No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!"&lt;br /&gt;   "Do you spend a lot of time in the sun.&lt;br /&gt;   "No, I don't," I said.&lt;br /&gt;   "Do you gamble, or have a lot of sex?"&lt;br /&gt;   "No," I said.

Not ever having seen one before, he remarked at the image staring back at him, "How about that! Here's a picture of my daddy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He bought the mirror thinking it was a picture of his daddy, but on the way home he remembered his wife didn't like his father, so he hung it in the barn, and every morning before leaving for the fields,  he would go there and look at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His wife began to get suspicious of these many trips to the barn. One day after her husband left, she searched the barn and found the mirror. As she looked into the glass, she fumed, "So that's the ugly bitch he's runnin' around with."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;IRISH CATHOLIC JOKES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Box Donation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A married Irishman went into the confessional and said to his priest, "I almost had an affair with another woman."&lt;br /&gt;The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"&lt;br /&gt;The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped."&lt;br /&gt;The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box."&lt;br /&gt;The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave.&lt;br /&gt;The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!"&lt;br /&gt;The Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lemon Squeeze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession.

A few minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said , "You're cute."&lt;br /&gt;The wife was disappointed because instead of "beautiful," it was now "cute."&lt;br /&gt;She asked, "What happened to beautiful?"&lt;br /&gt;The man replied, "The drugs are wearing off."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brothel Trip&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An elderly man goes into a brothel and tells the madam he would like a young girl for the night.

One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father, my dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a mass for the poor creature?"&lt;br /&gt;Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the churc h. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for the creature."&lt;br /&gt;Muldoon said, "I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?"&lt;br /&gt;Father Patrick exclaimed, "Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus!

One afternoon they were carrying on in the bedroom together when her husband arrived home unexpectedly.&lt;br /&gt;"Quick," said the woman to the lover, "into the closet!" and she pushed him in the closet, stark naked.&lt;br /&gt;The husband, however, became suspicious and after a search of the bedroom discovered the man in the closet.&lt;br /&gt;"Who are you?" he asked him.&lt;br /&gt;"I'm an inspector from Bugs-B-Gone," said the exterminator.&lt;br /&gt;"What are you doing in there?" the husband asked.&lt;br /&gt;"I'm investigating a complaint about an infestation of moths," the man replied.&lt;br /&gt;"And where are your clothes?" asked the husband.&lt;br /&gt;The man looked down at himself and said, "Those little bastards!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;KIDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while&lt;br /&gt;he asked: 'Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old&lt;br /&gt;she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes my teeth cough.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering n her mouth?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city bu t his wife looked back and was turned to salt.' Concerned, James asked: 'What happened to the flea?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Religion and golf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after the Pope had apologized to the Jewish people for the treatment of Jews by the Catholic Church over the years, Ariel Sharon, then Prime Minister of Israel, sent a proposal to the College of Cardinals for a friendly game of golf to be played between the two leaders, or their&lt;br /&gt;representatives, to demonstrate the friendship and ecumenical spirit shared by the Catholics and the Jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pope met his College of Cardinals to discuss the proposal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Your Holiness" said one of the Cardinals, "Mr. Sharon wants to challenge you to a game of golf to show that you are old and unable to compete.  I am afraid that this would tarnish our image in the world".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pope thought about this and, since he had never held a golf club in his life, asked, "Don't we have a Cardinal to represent me?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"None who plays golf very well," a Cardinal replied.  "But there is a man named Jack Nicklaus, an American golfer, who is a devout Catholic.  We could offer to make him a Cardinal, and then ask him to play Mr Sharon as your personal representative.  In addition to showing our spirit of co-operation, we will also win the match."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone agreed that this was a great idea.  The call was made.  Of course, Nicklaus was honored and he agreed to play as a representative of the Pope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day after the match, Nicklaus reported to the Vatican to inform the Pope of the result.  "This is Cardinal Nicklaus.  I have some good news and some bad news, your Holiness," said the golfer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tell me the good news, Cardinal Nicklaus", said the Pope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, Your Holiness, I don't like to brag, but even though I have played some pretty terrific rounds of golf in my life, this was the best I have ever played, by far.  I must have been inspired from above.  My drives were long and true, my irons were accurate and purposeful, and my putting was perfect.  With all due respect, my play was truly miraculous."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How can there be bad news?" the Pope asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nicklaus sighed, "I lost by three strokes to Rabbi Tiger Woods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PATIENT INFO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's  Hospital. She timidly asked, " Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"&lt;br /&gt;The operator said "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and  room number?" The grandmother in her weak tremulous voice said, "Norma Findlay, Room 302." The operator replied, "Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse " After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone, "Oh, good news. Her nurse has told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal and her physician, Dr.Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged  Tuesday."&lt;br /&gt;The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you for the good news."&lt;br /&gt;The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"&lt;br /&gt;The grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me shit.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BUBBA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bubba, a furniture dealer from N.E. Texas, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided to  go to Paris to see what he could find. After arriving in Paris he met with some manufacturers and selected a line that he thought would sell well back home.   To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine.  As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the other chair at his table was the only vacant seat in the house.  Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table, asked him something in French (which he did not understand), and motioned toward the chair.  He invited her to sit down.&lt;br /&gt;He tried to speak to her in English, but she did not speak his language and so, after a couple of minutes of trying to communicate with her, he took  a napkin and drew a  picture of a wine glass and showed it to her.  She nodded, and he ordered a glass of wine for her.        &lt;br /&gt;After sitting together at the table for a while, he took another napkin, and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group playing  romantic music. They ordered dinner, after which he took another napkin and drew a picture of a couple dancing. She nodded,and they got up to dance. They danced until the cafe closed and the band was packing up.&lt;br /&gt;Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and drew a picture of a four-poster  bed.&lt;br /&gt;To this day, Bubba has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grandparents and Grandchildren&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young&lt;br /&gt;granddaughter as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday.  He asked me how&lt;br /&gt;old I was, and I told him, "62." He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked  "Did you start at 1?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Fin ally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like:&lt;br /&gt;"We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was  wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said,"I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor.&lt;br /&gt;She told him she was writing a story.&lt;br /&gt;"What's it about?" he asked.&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask wh a t color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5439601501300400574-141746096876723792?l=burkejokeworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/feeds/141746096876723792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5439601501300400574&amp;postID=141746096876723792' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/141746096876723792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/141746096876723792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/jokes-07.html' title='Jokes &apos;09A'/><author><name>Joker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439601501300400574.post-6400910767554492253</id><published>2008-07-15T18:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-17T18:07:58.334-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jokes '08A</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;No Puns Intended:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

One says to the other: 'Does this&lt;br /&gt;taste funny to you?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. 'Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.' 'That&lt;br /&gt;sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome.' 'Is it common?' Well, 'It's Not&lt;br /&gt;Unusual.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to&lt;br /&gt;Dolly, 'I was artificially inseminated this morning.' 'I don't believe&lt;br /&gt;you,' says Dolly. 'It's true; no bull!' exclaims Daisy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing&lt;br /&gt;in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about&lt;br /&gt;an hour, the ma nager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse.&lt;br /&gt;'But why,' they asked, as they moved off.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which&lt;br /&gt;produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very&lt;br /&gt;little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered&lt;br /&gt;from bad breath. This made him. (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.... A super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosi s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. And finally, there was the person who sent twenty different puns to&lt;br /&gt;his friends, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them&lt;br /&gt;laugh. No pun in ten did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;The Florida State Trooper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out&lt;br /&gt;of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph,&lt;br /&gt;enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal even&lt;br /&gt;more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway patrol behind him,&lt;br /&gt;blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100mph, then&lt;br /&gt;110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for&lt;br /&gt;this," and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at&lt;br /&gt;his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before,&lt;br /&gt;I'll let you go."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off&lt;br /&gt;with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Have a good day, Sir," replied the trooper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;The Pants&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike was going to be married to Karen so his father sat him down for a little chat.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He said, "Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants, handed them to your mother, and said, "Here - try these on."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;She did and said, "These are too big. I can't wear them." I replied, "Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Ever since that night, we have never had any problems&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Hmmm," said Mike. He thought that might be a good thing to try.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;On his honeymoon, Mike took off his pants and said to Karen,&lt;br /&gt;"Here - try  these on."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;She tried them on and said, "These are too large. They don't fit me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike said, "Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Then Karen took off her pants and handed them to Mike She said, "Here- you try on mine."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He did and said, "I can't get into your pants."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karen said, "Exactly. And if you don't change your smart-ass attitude, you  never will."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Something To Offend Nearly Everyone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q.

I noticed an old man watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old man kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find the old man staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old man did not bat an eye in his response, "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, he motioned for her to come nearer. She sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears. "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side...You know what?"&lt;br /&gt;"What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth. "I think you're bad luck, get the hell away from me." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********&lt;br /&gt;A recent study found the average American golfer walks about 900 miles a Year.&lt;br /&gt;Another study found American golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a Year.&lt;br /&gt;That means, on average, American golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.&lt;br /&gt;Kind Of Makes You Proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Typical Texan Baby Boy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A Texan is drinking in a New York City bar, when he gets a call on his cell phone. He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar, announcing his wife has just given birth to a typical Texan baby boy weighing 25 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Texan just shrugs and replies, "That's about average back home, folks. Like I said, my boy's a typical Texas baby boy. Gonna be a football player for sure."&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations showered him from all around, amid many exclamations of "WOW!" One woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.&lt;br /&gt;Two weeks later, he returns to the bar. The bartender says, "Say, aren't you the father of that typical Texan baby boy that weighed 25 pounds at birth? Everybody's been making bets&lt;br /&gt;about how big he'd be in two weeks. So, how much does he weigh now?"&lt;br /&gt;The proud father answers, "Seventeen pounds."&lt;br /&gt;The bartender is puzzled, concerned and a little suspicious. "What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!"&lt;br /&gt;The proud Texan father takes a slow swig of his beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and smiles as he says, "Had him circumcised."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5439601501300400574-6400910767554492253?l=burkejokeworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/feeds/6400910767554492253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5439601501300400574&amp;postID=6400910767554492253' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/6400910767554492253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/6400910767554492253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/2008/01/jokes-08a.html' title='Jokes &apos;08A'/><author><name>Joker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439601501300400574.post-785914605363609678</id><published>2007-12-08T08:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-08T16:51:39.312-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jokes '08</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Now visualize this as you are reading it! &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In most of the United States, there is a policy of checking on any stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop to single digits or below. About 3 AM, one very cold morning, Trooper Allan Nixon #658 responded to a call there was a car off the shoulder of the road outside Shattuck, Texas. He located the car, stuck in deep snow, and with the engine still running. Pulling in behind the car with his emergency lights on, the Trooper walked to the driver's door to find an older man passed out behind the wheel with a nearly em pty vodka bottle on he seat beside him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The driver came awake when the Trooper tapped on the window. Seeing the rotating lights in his rearview mirror, and the State Trooper standing next to his car, the man panicked. He jerked the gearshift into 'drive' and hit the gas. The car's speedometer was showing 20-30-40 and then 50 mph, but it was still stuck in the snow, wheels spinning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trooper Nixon, having a sense of humor, began running in place next to the speeding (but stationary) car.&lt;br /&gt;The driver was totally freaked, thinking the Trooper was actually keeping up with him. This goes on for about 30 seconds, then the Trooper yelled, "Pull over!"&lt;br /&gt;The man nodded, turned his wheel, and stopped the engine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, the man from Dumas, Texas was arrested, and is probably still shaking his head over the State Trooper in Oklahoma who could run 50 miles per hour."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who says Troopers don't have a sense of humor? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Pennsylvanians - by Jeff Foxworthy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Philadelphia for the weekend, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Pennsy lvania .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your Pennsylvania friends &amp; others, you definitely live in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW NOT LOSE YOUR GRANDKIDS IN THE MALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; He approached a uniformed policeman and said, "I've lost my grandpa!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The cop asked, "What's he like?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The little boy hesitated for a moment and then replied,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "Crown Royal whiskey and women with big tits."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon "quickie" with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation: "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he shouted.  "An ambulance just drove by!" "Looks like the Andersons have company,"he called out. "Matt's riding a new bike!" "Looks like the Sanders are moving!" "Jason is on his skate board...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few moments he announced, "The Coopers are having sex!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Startled, his mother and dad shot up in bed!  Dad cautiously called out, How do &lt;br /&gt;you know they are having sex?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Billy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Popsicle."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Dear Walter:&lt;br /&gt;I hope you can help me. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a few hundred yards down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was parading in front of the wardrobe mirror dressed in my underwear and high-heel shoes, and he was wearing my make up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he had dressed in my lingerie because he couldn't find his own underwear. But when I asked him about the make up, he broke down and admitted that he'd been wearing my clothes for six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. I don't feel I can get through to him anymore. Can you please help?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely, Mrs. Sheila Usk &lt;br /&gt;                                                 &lt;br /&gt;Dear Sheila:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber. I hope this helps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walter &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Three Holy Men and a Bear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A priest, a Pentecostal preacher, and a rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette. They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first. "Well," he said, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip. In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he claimed, "WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The priest and the reverend both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape. The Rabbi looked up and said, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A blonde lady motorist was about two hours from San Diego when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down. The man walked up to the car and asked, "Are you going to San Diego ?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sure," answered the blonde, "do you need a lift?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Not for me. I'll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck. My problem is I've got two chimpanzees in the back which have to be taken to the San Diego Zoo. They're a bit stressed already so I don't want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I'll give you $100 for your trouble."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'd be happy to," said the blonde. So the two chimpanzees were ushered into the back seat of the blonde's car and carefully strapped into their seat belts. Off they went.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Five hours later, the truck driver was driving through the heart of San Diego when suddenly he was horrified!! There was the blonde walking down the street and holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of a big crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the blonde. What the heck are you doing here?" he demanded, "I gave you $100 to take these chimpanzees to the zoo."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, I know you did," said the blonde," but we had money left over ... so now we're going to Sea World.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing, female Poodle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The three male dogs fall all over themselves in an effort to be the one to reach her first, but end up arriving in front of her at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The males are speechless before her beauty, slobbering on themselves and hoping for just a glance from her in return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aware of her charms and her obvious effect on the three suitors, she decides to be kind and tells them, "The first one who can use the words 'liver' and 'cheese' together in an imaginative, intelligent sentence can go out with me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up quickly and says, "I love liver and cheese."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh, how childish," said the Poodle. "That shows no imagination or intelligence whatsoever."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She turns to the tall, shiny Golden Retriever and says "How well can you do?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Um. I HATE liver and cheese," blurts the Golden Retriever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My, my," said the Poodle. "I guess it's hopeless. That's just as dumb as the Lab's sentence."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She then turns to the last of the three dogs and says, "How about you, little guy?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last of the three, tiny in stature but big in fame and finesse, is the Taco Bell Chihuahua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He gives her a smile, a sly wink, turns to the Golden Retriever and the Lab and says: "Liver alone. Cheese mine."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "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."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my beer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She's such a bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?""&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The child thought about this for a moment then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed,  "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord,  please don't let me be late!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up,brushed herself off, and started running again! As she ran she once again began to pray"Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please don't shove me either!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. &lt;br /&gt;The first boy says, "My dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50." &lt;br /&gt;The second boy says, "That's nothing. My dad scribbles a few words on piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100."&lt;br /&gt;The third boy  says, "I got you both beat. My dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect all the money!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, sh e wrote, "They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He answered, "Call for backup."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem . A small child replied, "They couldn't get a baby-sitter."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "Honor thy father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother not iced him lying down s though he were ill, and she said, "Johnny, what is the matter?"  Little Johnny responded, "I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, "What do you think about all this Satan stuff?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other boy replied, "Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your Dad."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Fairy Tale:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, long, long ago, there was this woman who surprisingly, did not whine, nag, and bitch ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this was a long time ago ... and it was just ONE day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The End&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5439601501300400574-785914605363609678?l=burkejokeworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/feeds/785914605363609678/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5439601501300400574&amp;postID=785914605363609678' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/785914605363609678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5439601501300400574/posts/default/785914605363609678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burkejokeworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/jokes-07b.html' title='Jokes &apos;08'/><author><name>Joker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
