Tuesday, April 1, 2003 -- The Parrot
One day, a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on a parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher.
Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid - the parrot was his at last! As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the Auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!" "Don't worry," said the Auctioneer, "he can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?"
Wednesday, April 2, 2003 -- Bottomless Gambling
It's 8:00am at a gambling casino. There are two guys waiting at the dice table for additional competition. A very attractive lady comes in and wants to bet $20,000 on a single roll of the dice. The other two agree.
She says, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm not wearing underwear." With that she strips naked from the waist down. She then rolls the dice while yelling, "Mamma needs a new pair of pants! YES! I WIN!" With that she picks up her money and clothes and quickly leaves. The other two just stare at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asks, "What did she roll anyway?" The other answers, "I don't know. I thought you were watching the dice!"
Thursday, April 3, 2003 -- The Good Wife
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, when he came to, he motioned for her to come closer.
As 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?" "What dear?" She gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth. And her husband looked into her eyes and said, "I think you're bad luck."
Friday, April 4, 2003 -- The Jurist
Mrs. Hunter was called to serve for jury duty, but asked to be excused because she didn't believe in capital punishment and didn't want her personal thoughts to prevent the trial from running its proper course.
The public defender liked her thoughtfulness and quiet calm, and tried to convince her that she was appropriate to serve on the jury. "Madam," he explained, "this is not a murder trial! It's a simple civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against her husband because he gambled away the $12,000 he had promised to use to remodel the kitchen for her birthday." "Well, okay," agreed Mrs. Hunter, "I guess I could be wrong about capital punishment after all."
Monday, April 7, 2003 -- The Frog
A frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and was informed, "You are going to meet a beautiful young woman who will want to know everything about you." The frog said, "That's great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?"

Tuesday, April 8, 2003 -- Miss Bea
Miss Bea was in her 80's and much admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. The pastor came to call on her one afternoon early in the Spring and she welcomed him into her Victorian parlour. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared a little tea.
As he sat facing her old pump organ, the minister noticed a cut glass bowl setting on top of it, filled with water. In the water floated, of all things, a condom. Imagine his shock and surprise. Imagine his curiosity; surely Miss Bea had flipped! But he certainly couldn't mention the strange sight in her parlour. When she returned with tea and cookies they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl and its strange floater, but soon it got the best of him, and he could resist no longer. "Miss Bea," he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this, " pointing to the bowl. "Oh, yes," she replied, "Isn't it wonderful! I was walking down town last fall and I found this little package. It said to put it on your organ and keep it wet, and it would prevent disease. And you know, I think it is working, I haven't had a cold all winter!" (Thanks to Carol)

A man was applying for a job as a signalman for the local railroad and was told to meet the inspector at the signal box. The inspector decided to give him a pop quiz, asking: "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading towards each other on the same track?"
The man said, "I would switch one train to another track." "What if the lever broke?" asked the inspector. "Then I'd run down to the tracks and use the manual lever down there," answered the applicant. "What if that had been struck by lightning?" challenged the inspector. "Then," the man said, "I'd run back up here and use the phone to call the next signal box." The inspector kept on: "What if the phone was busy?" "In that case," the man argued, "I'd run to the street level and use the public phone near the station." "What if that had been vandalized?" the inspector asked. "Oh well," said the applicant, "in that case I would run into town and get my Uncle Leo." This puzzled the inspector, so he asked "Why would you do that?" And the man replied, "Because he's never seen a train crash."

"Do you love her?" The old man replied, "I guess." "Is she a good Christian woman?" "I don't know for sure," the old man answered. "Does she have lots of money?" asked the pastor. "I doubt it." "Then why are you marrying her?" the preacher asked. "She can drive at night," the old man said.

"What's your Unique Breakfast?" he asked. "Baked tongue of chicken!" she proudly replied. "Baked tongue of chicken? Baked tongue of chicken! Do you have any idea how disgusting that is?" the man said. "I would never even consider eating anything that came out of a chicken's mouth!" The waitress couldn't care less, and asked, "What would you like then?" And the man replied, "Just bring me some scrambled eggs."
Thursday, April 17, 2003 -- Cat
A famous art collector was walking through the city when he noticed a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he did a double take. He knew that the saucer was extremely old and very valuable, so he walked casually into the store and offered to buy the cat for two dollars.
The store owner replied "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for sale." The collector said, "Please, I need a hungry cat around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty dollars for that cat." And the owner said "Sold," and handed over the cat. The collector continued, "Hey, for the 20 bucks I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat's used to it and it'll save me from having to get a dish." And the owner said, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky saucer. So far this week I've sold 68 cats."

Finally, the young bloke rolls over, pulls out a cigarette from his jeans and searches for his lighter. Unable to find it, he asks the girl if she has one at hand. "There might be some matches in the top drawer," she replies. Opening the drawer of the bedside table, he finds a box of matches sitting neatly on top of a framed picture of another man. Naturally, the bloke begins to worry. "Is this your husband?" he inquires nervously. "No, silly," she replies, snuggling up to him. "Your boyfriend then?" "No, don't be daft," she says, nibbling away at his ear. "Well, who is he then?" demands the bewildered bloke.

Little Sammy was studying Torah for his Bar Mitzvah and was asked what he had learned in Hebrew school one day.
"Well, momma, the rabbi told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When they got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge and all the Jews walked across safely. Then the Egyptians followed and Moses used his walkie-talkie to radio headquarters for air cover. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge, drown the Egyptians, and the Israelites were saved."

A man walked into a bar, sat down, ordered 3 shots of whiskey, drank them, then left. This continued daily for several weeks.
Curious, the bartender asked him one day, "Why do you always order three shots of whiskey?"

The bartender thought that this was a very noble thing to do, and welcomed the man every time he visited the bar. Two weeks later, the man walked into the bar for his daily visit and ordered two shots of whiskey. Surprised, the bartender asked him why he only ordered two when had always been ordering three.
