To surprise her husband, an executive’s wife stopped by his office.
When she opened the door, she found him with his secretary sitting in his lap.
Without hesitating, he dictated, “And in conclusion, gentlemen, budget cuts or no budget cuts, I cannot continue to operate this office with just one chair.”
This came from a cousin. I hope this is not his method of dictation!
It would not fit in my pocket so I left it behind!
The road to nowhere
Nine Lives
Typical cat, cannot decide whether to go in or stay out! It came via email a very long time ago.
Willy retired from his job and bought a pumpkin patch. He thought that he could make more money from chickens than the previous owner made from pumpkins, so he went to a poultry farm and bought 50 chickens.
’50 is a lot of chickens for that little pumpkin patch,’ commented the proprietor.
‘I am used to big business’ Willy replied.’
A week later Willy was back at the farm.
‘I need another 50 chickens,’ he said.
‘Boy, you are serious about this chicken farming,’ the poultry farmer told him.
‘Oh yes,’ Willy replied. ‘It’ will be Ok if I can just iron out a few problems.’
‘Problems?’, asked the farmer.
‘Yeah,’ replied the Willy, ‘I think I planted that first batch too close together.’
Happy Halloween to one and all, especially PP, who sent this tale to me.
Thursday Special ~ Two pumpkins
One day two pumpkins, who were best friends, were walking together down the street. They stepped off the curb and a speeding car came around the corner and ran one of them over.
The uninjured pumpkin called 911 and helped his injured friend as best he was able. The injured pumpkin was taken to emergency at the hospital and rushed into surgery.
After a long and agonizing wait, the doctor finally appeared. He told the uninjured pumpkin, “I have good news, and I have bad news.
The good news is that your friend is going to pull through.”
The bad news is…..
He’s going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

Thank you Frank for this timely little number.
A man was walking home alone one night when he heard a “BUMP….BUMP….BUMP…” behind him. Walking faster, he looked back, making out an image of an upright coffin banging its way down the middle of the street towards him….”BUMP…BUMP…BUMP…”
The man began to run toward his home, and the coffin bounced after him faster….faster…BUMPBUMPBUMP.
He ran up to his door, fumbled with his keys, opened the door, rushed in, and locked it behind him. The coffin crashed through his door, with the lid of the coffin clapping BUMP…BUMP…BUMP… on the heals of the terrified man. The man rushed upstairs to the bathroom and locked himself in, heart pounding.
With a CRASH, the coffin broke down the door, coming slowly toward him. The man while screaming, reached for something, anything….all he can find was a box of cough drops which he hurled at the coffin…and suddenly “the coffin stops.”

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.
For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said, ‘I’m sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me.’
The frightened passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn’t realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.
The driver replied, ‘No, no, I’m sorry, it’s entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab……………….
I’ve been driving a hearse for the last 25 years.’

An oldie. It has the mark of Frank on it.
A Frenchman in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the Louvre.
However, after planning the crime and getting in and out and past security, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied…..
“I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.”

A coffee with Dave the other day, produced this little nugget!
Man’s wife notices a green growth on top of hubby’s bald head so he goes off to see a doctor.
Doctor feels it and looks at it but is stumped so sends him off to see a specialist (and we all know how long that can take).
Some years later he sees the specialist and by now the green spot has grown larger.
The specialist gets out a powerful magnifying glass and peers at the growth – he is amazed to see a lake surrounded by grass and trees – some swans are floating around the lake and there’s even a picnic area – “ah” says the doctor “nothing to worry about – it’s just a beauty spot!”
