A Funny Thing Happened

Blog Posted:2/27/2011 5:26:00 PM
 

 

 Old People

Two old friends met by chance on the street. After chatting for some time one said to the other, "I'm terribly sorry, but I've forgotten your name. You'll need to tell me".
The other stared at him thoughtfully for a long time, then replied, "How soon do you need to know?"


 

Q: Why did the scientist install a knocker on his door?
A: To win the no-bell prize.



  

Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing, female Poodle. 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. The males are speechless before her beauty, slobbering on themselves and hoping for just a glance from her in return. 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.” The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up quickly and says “I love liver and cheese.” “Oh, how childish,” said the Poodle. “That shows no imagination or intelligence whatsoever.” She turned to the tall, shiny Golden Retriever and said “How well can you do?” “Ummmm...I HATE liver and cheese,” blurts the Golden Retriever. “My, my,” said the Poodle. “I guess it’s hopeless. That’s just as dumb as the Lab’s sentence.” She then turns to the last of the three dogs and says, “How about you, little guy?” The last of the three, tiny in stature but big in fame and finesse, is the Taco Bell chihuahua. He gives her a smile, a sly wink, turns to the Golden Retriever and the Lab and says... 
“Liver alone. Cheese mine.”

So tell me a funny joke???

Hi Debbie, While I was bathing Noah this morning, I preped him on the word play; "liver and Cheese" in your blog, and then told him that you left a funny joke about the dogs. He, as well as myself, enjoyed the humor very much ! And we liked the "No-bell" joke as well ! He is up-to-par on the Nobel Prizes; hearing my desires to recieve one, some day. Thanx for brightening our day this morning Deb ! much love, james

A quickie one: The four Santa Claus stages of life: 1) You believe in Santa Claus. 2) you don't believe in him. 3) You ARE Santa Claus and finally 4) You look like him.
