Paintin' Place

A Parson contacted one of his parishioners, who happened to be a house painter. "The church really needs a coat or two of paint, Bob. Can you help? We should have enough money in the coffers to cover the materials."

"Sure, Parson. I'll start next week."

Bob measured the job by eye, then bought the paint he felt he would need. That took almost all the money the parson had allocated for the job. When Bob Started working, he discovered he would be several gallons short. "Well, I'll just have to thin it some," he told himself.

He added water and continued painting. There still would not be enough paint. Bob added more water.

Finally, he finished the job. That night a hard rain fell and washed off most of the thinned paint. "Bob," the Parson said, "I don't know what to do." "Neither do I," the painter replied.

From the clear sky they heard a crack of thunder. A booming voice called out:

"Repaint, and thin no more!"

Jack Schitt

Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says "You don't know Jack Schitt". Now, you can handle the situation.

Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O. Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, owner of Knee-deep Schitt, Inc. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt and the deeply religious couple produced 6 children: Holie Schitt; the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt; Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt and Bull Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married for 15 years, Jack and Noe divorced.

Noe later married Mr. Sherlock and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was now known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock. Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt and they produced a cowardly son, Chicken Schitt.

Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt were inseparable throughout childhood and consequently, married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.

The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg, Byrd and Horse.

Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned with his bride, Pisa Schitt.

Now, when someone says you don't know Jack Schitt, you can correct them.

Nurse Nancy

Nurse Nancy was a nice person, but one neuron short of a synapse, if you know what I mean.

The doctor she was assigned to knew this and tried to give her the type of assignment where she could do the least damage. He assigned her to a patient with a painful but not life threatening disorder.

Suddenly, he looks up to see his patient racing down the hall. Before he can react, he sees Nurse Nancy following him, carrying a pot of steaming hot water.

He immediately turned and ran after her, yelling, "No, no, Nurse Nancy. I asked you to prick his boil!!"

Now, Where Did I Put That ... ?

A doctor had come out of an examination room and begun to write a prescription. A nurse walked by and said, "Excuse me, Doctor, but you are trying to write with your thermometer."

The doctor looked at the thermometer and said, "Dammit! Some assh*le has my pen."

One Day in the Proctologist's Office

A man went to a proctologist for his first exam. The receptionist showed him to in the examining room and asked him to wait.

The man noticed that there were three items on a stand next to the examining table: a tube of K-Y jelly, a rubber glove, and a beer.

When the doctor came in, the man said, "This is my first appointment, and I have a question. I know what the K-Y is for, and I know what the glove is for. But what do you do with the beer?"

The doctor became noticeably angry and stormed over to the door. He flung the door open and yelled to his nurse, "Dammit, nurse!!! I said a BUTT LIGHT!!!"

The Bird

A few days before Christmas, a man goes to a pet store looking for a unique gift to give his wife. The store manager tells him he has just what he's looking for: a beautiful parrot named Chet who sings Christmas Carols.

He brings the husband over to a colorful but quiet bird. The man agrees that Chet certainly is pretty, but he doesn't seem to be very interested in singing.

The manager says, "Watch!" He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a lighter, lights it and holds it under Chet's left foot. Immediately the bird starts singing, "Silent Night, Holy Night".

The man is very impressed with Chet's singing abilities and watches as the manager moves the lighter to Chet's right foot. The bird starts singing, "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way ..."

The man says, "This bird is perfect. I'll take him."

He rushes home to his wife, presents Chet and starts to demonstrate his special talent. He holds a lighter under Chet's left foot and the bird sings, "Silent Night Holy Night". Then he moves the lighter to Chet's right foot and again Chet sings a round of Jingle Bells.

The wife is very impressed and with a mischievous grin takes the lighter and holds it between the bird's legs.

Immediately, the bird begins to sing: "Chet's Nuts Roasting On An Open Fire ..."

The Bees

Two bees are buzzing around what's left of a rose bush. "How's your summer been?" asks bee number one.

"Not too good," says bee two. "Lotta rain, lotta cold, not enough flowers, not enough pollen."

The first bee has an idea. "Hey, why don't you go down to the corner and hang a left? They're having a bar mitzvah. There'll be lots of flowers and fruit."

Bee number two buzzes his thanks and takes off. A short time later, the bees bump into each other again. "How was the bar mitzvah?" asks the first bee.

"Great!" replies the second. "Just as you said, there was plenty of everything, and more pollen than I've ever seen. It was fantastic!!"

Just then, the first bee notices a small white circle on his friend's head. He asks, "What's that?"

"It's a yarmulke," comes the reply. "I couldn't let them think I was a WASP!"

Herpetology

There once was a snake farmer who had a pair of vipers he was trying to breed. For the life of him, he couldn't get them within two feet of each other. Frustrated, he called up the local herpetologist, and explained the situation. She hurried over, picked up the snakes, and looked at them.

"See that tree over there?" she said, "Chop it down, chop off a good sized log, split the log in two, and made two tables out of them. Put the table and snakes into a cage, and leave them alone for a while."

The breeder thought this was insane, but having no other options, he tried it. Sure enough, a few weeks later, he had a whole slew of baby snakes.

He called up the expert, and asked her how that was possible. She replied, "Well, you see, those snakes were adders, and everybody knows that adders can only multiply on log tables."

Cloning Around

The couple left the gynecologist’s office with the wife in tears. They had just been told that she could never become pregnant. They would never have the family they both desired so fervently.

Suddenly, a masked man appeared before them. "I think I can help you," he said, handing the man a card.

"Why the mask?" the husband asked. "Because the government has declared our activities illegal. Go to the address on this card. The doctor will take a scraping from one of your mouths and culture it. In less than a year, you will have your baby ... an exact replica of you."

"This is the answer to our prayers!" the wife exclaimed. Then she turned to thank the stranger but he was gone. "Who was that masked man?" she asked her husband.

Suddenly, a deep booming voice announced, "That was ... the Clone Arranger!!"

Roy & Dale

Many years ago, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans had a problem with a mountain lion. This lion had cost Roy and Dale a number of head of cattle, but what really got Roy's attention was one night the big cat crept onto the front porch of their house and mangled Roy's brand new cowboy boots, which he had left outside overnight. That was the final straw. Roy saddled up Trigger, called for his faithful dog Bullet and rode off to find the mountain lion.

He found the lion, shot it and tied the carcass across Trigger's back for the ride home. As he rode up to the house, Dale pointed to the lion's body and said:

"Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"

Highway Hazard

Driving to work, a gentlman had to swerve to avoid a box that fell out of a truck in front of him. Seconds later, a policeman pulled him over for reckless driving. Fortunately, another officer had seen the carton in the road. The policmen stopped traffic and recovered the box. It was found to contain large upholstery tacks.

"I'm sorry sir," the first trooper told the driver, "but I am still going to have to write you a ticket."

Amazed, the driver asked, "What for?"

The trooper replied, "Tacks evasion."

The Diet

Mr. Lee was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, I want you to have lost at least five pounds."

When Mr Lee returned, he shocked the doctor by losing nearly twenty pounds.

"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?"

Mr Lee nodded. "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day."

"From hunger, you mean?"

"No, from skipping."

Living Testimony

A man was driving along the highway and saw a large rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of the car and was hit.

The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road and got out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, it was dead. The driver felt so awful, he began to cry.

A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying at the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked him what was wrong.

"I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."

The woman told the man not to worry, she'd take care of it. She went to her car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead creature and sprayed the contents of the can onto it.

Miraculously the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 yards away, the rabbit stopped, turned around and again waved at the two humans. The run-stop-wave-run cycle continued until the rabbit was well out of sight.

The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what this magic substance could be. He demanded excitedly, "What was in your spray can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"

The woman turned the can around so he could read the label. It said:

Acme Hair Spray
Restores life to dead hair
Adds permanent wave

Divorce Hillbilly Style

A farmer walked into an attorney's office wanting to file for a divorce. The attorney asked, "May I help you?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I want to get one of those day-vorce's."
The attorney said, "well do you have any grounds?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I got about 140 acres."
The attorney said, " No, you don't understand, do you have a case?"
The farmer said, "No, I don't have a Case, but I have a John Deere."
The attorney said, "No you don't understand, I mean do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yea I got a grudge, that's where I park my John Deere."
The attorney said, "No sir, I mean do you have a suit?"
The farmer said, "Yes sir, I got a suit. I wear it to church on Sundays."
The exasperated attorney said, "Well sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
The farmer said, "No sir, we both get up about 4:30."
Finally, the attorney says, "Okay, let me put it this way. "WHY DO YOU WANT A DIVORCE?"
And the farmer says, "Well, I can never have a meaningful conversation with her."

Divorce Disney Style

Mickey Mouse consults a divorce lawyer. The lawyer says, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mouse. I've checked case law and researched precedent, and I'm afraid I can't advise you to proceed with this action. You can't get a divorce simply because your wife is silly.

Mickey replies, "I didn't say she's silly. I said she's f*cking Goofy!"

One Day in Transylvania

Two nuns, Sister Mary and Sister Helen, are traveling through Europe in their car. They get to Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light. Suddenly, a diminutive Dracula jumps onto the hood of the car and hisses through the windscreen.
"Quick, quick!!" shouts Sister Mary, ""What shall I do?" "Turn the windshield wipers on, that will get rid of the abomination," says Sister Helen.
Sister Mary switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and hisses again at the nuns. "What shall I do now?" she shouts. "Switch on the washer. I filled it up with Holy Water in the Vatican," says Sister Helen.
Dracula steams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and hisses again at the nuns. "Now what?" shouts Sister Mary. "Show him your cross," says Sister Helen.
Sister Mary opens the window and shouts: "GET OFF MY F*CKING CAR!!"

Moles

A mamma mole, papa mole, and baby mole lived in a hole outside of a farm house out in the country. One day the papa mole reached his head out of the hole and said, "Mmmmm, I smell sausage."

The baby mole tried to reach his head outside the hole but couldn't because of the two bigger moles. The baby mole said, "The only thing I can smell is molasses."

Voices

A man walks into a bar and sits down at a table. while waiting for a waitress, he helps himself to a bowl of peanuts. While munching them, he hears, barely audibly, a voice say, "nice hair!" he looks around, but sees no one. He shrugs and goes back to his peanuts. Then he hears, very quietly, "great suit!" again he looks around, but no one is close to him. He decides he must be imagining it, but then he hears, faintly, "nice tie!"

When the waitress arrives, he asks, somewhat embarrassed, Excuse me, but do other patrons ever hear little voices in here?"

She smiles and says, "Oh, those are the peanuts. They're complimentary."

I've become very fond of it, and I eat it on everything: steak, salad, you name it."

The dentist says, "Ah! So that explains it! It's the acid from the lemon juice in the sauce. I'll have to make your next plate out of chrome." "Why chrome?" "Because there's no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise!"

Obituary

Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh died Wednesday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71. He was buried Friday in one of the biggest funerals in years. Dozens of celebrities turned out including Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, and the Hostess Twinkies. The graveside was piled high with flours, as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew he was kneaded."

Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a smart cookie, and wasted much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model to millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife. They had two children, and one in the oven...

Bear Hunting

An Englishman and a citizen of the Czech Republic went on a hunting trip. When they did not return for several days, a search party was sent after them. The party found a he-bear and a she-bear, each with full tummies. Becoming suspicious, they killed the two bears. They cut open the stomach of the she-bear, and found the Englishman. The leader of the party then observed, "You all know what this means -- the Czech is in the male."

Mozart

When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple of days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.

When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards." He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."

Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart ... decomposing."

Nate 'n' Honey

Nate the snake is slithering along the ground and comes upon a lever in the ground. Being a curious little snake, he wraps himself around the lever and starts to pull it.

Just then a little bird flies down and cries "Stop, if you pull that lever the world will end!" So very carefully, Nate uncoils from the lever and begins to slither away.

Just then he sees a bolder rolling toward the lever. Being a brave little snake, he tries his best to stop the bolder. Alas, he is just too small and weak. The bolder rolls over Nate, squishing him flat. However, in the process Nate diverts the bolder just enough so that it misses the lever.

The little bird sees this and exclaims with relief, "Whew ... better Nate than lever."
