Too Bad It’s Monday: The Best Jokes I Received in Last Week’s Email


Below are what I judge to be the best of the humor I have received in my emails during the past week. There are not as many as usual, but most are exceptionally long. Enjoy!




A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant opened by a fellow cannibal. Feeling somewhat hungry, he went in, sat down and looked over the menu...

Broiled Missionary: $ 10.00
Fried Explorer: $ 15.00
Baked Politician: $ 100.00


The cannibal called the waiter over and asked, "Why such a price difference for the politician?"


The waiter replied, "Have you ever tried to clean one?"


This is a story about a Fly, a Fish, a Bear, a Hunter, a Mouse and a Cat.

There is a moral to this story......

(Maybe not the one Most of you expect.... So, read on!)

In the dead of summer a fly was resting among leaves beside a stream.

The hot, dry fly said to no one in particular,

"Gosh...if I go down three inches I will feel the mist From the water and I will be
refreshed."

There
was a fish in the water
thinking,

"Gosh...if
that fly goes down three inches, I can eat
him."

There
was a bear on the shore
thinking,

"Gosh...if
that fly goes down three
inches
That
fish will jump for the fly...
And
I will grab the fish!!"

It
also happened that a hunter was farther up the
bank
Of
the lake preparing to eat a cheese
sandwich....

"Gosh," he thought, "if that fly goes down
three inches...
And that fish leaps for
it...
That
bear will expose himself and grab for the
fish.
I'll
shoot the bear and have a proper
lunch."

Now,
you probably think this is Enough activity on one river
bank,

But I can tell you there's
more....

A
wee mouse by the hunter's foot was
thinking,

"Gosh,
if that fly goes down three
inches...
And
that fish jumps for that fly..
And
that bear grabs for that
fish..
The
dumb hunter will shoot the
bear
And
drop his cheese sandwich."

A
cat lurking in the bushes took in this scene and
thought,
(as
was fashionable to do on the banks
of
This
particular river around lunch
time)

"Gosh...if
that fly goes down three
inches..
And
that fish jumps for that fly
..
And
that bear grabs for that fish
And
that hunter shoots that bear..
And
that mouse makes off with the cheese sandwich

Then
I can have mouse for lunch."


The
poor fly is finally so hot and so dry that
he
Heads
down for the cooling mist of the
water.

The fish swallows the fly...

The
bear grabs the fish..

The
hunter shoots the bear..

The
mouse grabs the cheese
sandwich...

The
cat jumps for the mouse..

The
mouse ducks...

The
cat falls into the water and
drowns.


NOW,
The Moral Of The Story....



Whenever
a fly goes down three inches,

Some
pussy is gonna be in serious danger.

A young boy, about 14 years old was walking down the street, dragging a flattened frog on a string behind him.

He came to a house of ill repute, and knocked on the door. When the Madam answered it, she saw the little boy and asked what he wanted.

He said, 'I want to have sex with one of the women inside. I have the money to buy it, and I'm not leaving until I get it.'

The Madam figured, what the hell, so she told him to come in. Once in, she told him to pick any of the girls he liked.

He said, 'I heard all the men talking about having to get shots after making love with Amber. THAT'S the girl I want.'

Since the little boy was so adamant and had the money to pay for it, the Madam told him to go to the first room on the right. He headed down the hall dragging the squashed frog behind him.

Ten minutes later he came back, still dragging the frog, paid the Madam, and headed out the door.

The Madam stopped him and asked, 'Why did you pick the only girl in the place with a disease, instead of one of the others?'


He said, 'Well, tonight when I get home, my parents are going out to a restaurant to eat, leaving me at home with a baby-sitter. After they leave, my baby-sitter will have sex with me because she's very fond of cute little boys. She will then get the disease that I just caught.

When Mom and Dad get back, Dad will take the baby-sitter home. On the way, he'll jump the baby-sitter's bones, and he'll catch the disease.

Then when Dad gets home from the baby-sitter's, he and Mom will go to bed and have sex, and Mom will catch it.

In the morning when Dad goes to work, the milkman will deliver the milk, have a quickie with Mom, and catch the disease, and

HE'S the son-of-a-bitch that ran over my frog!

    ` I like the 'military manual stuff!' That is certainly some funny stuff! (Where it comes from, I'm not so certain.)
    ` OMG! I gots some funny stuff myself for my blog. I know it's funny because it made Lou Ryan laugh until he ran out of air. I've never seen that before!
    ` But, since I just put some weird stuff on my Wackmobiles blog, it will have to wait.

  7. You are so "darn" right... those technical support lines... utterly unbearable...

    ... one thing I would never in my life consider even doing unless in the most direst emergency would be even TRYING to get in touch with a company like Yahoo or Google... e.g. about my email account... can you imagine it? Utterly useless and a total waste of time!

    Hope all is well with you and you had a pefect weekend... I'm OK... take care and thanks for your messages
