If the pen is mightier than the sword, in a duel I’ll let you have the pen!

What do batteries run on?

Are there any questions?

I was cleaning out my closet and I found a swim suit that I had made out of sponges. I remember one time when I wore it. When I got out of the swimming pool nobody could go swimming until I came back.

I bought one of those little glass ball things with the snow in it. You know, you turn it upside down then you turn it back and it starts to snow. I bought one, except this has a snow plow that does it in rows.

[Later] I bought one of those little glass ball things with the snow in it… Just checking.

I busted a mirror and got seven years bad luck, but my lawyer thinks he can get me five.

Why is it, “A penny for your thoughts,” but, “you have to put your two cents in?” Somebody’s making a penny.

My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes she has to cancel the rest of the afternoon’s appointments.

Humor about Irish Pubs

(Setting the scene, Ballymun outside of Dublin has a reputation as a rough spot) Fifteen minutes into Aer Lingus Flight EI109 from Madrid to Dublin the Plane encounters a serious problem with the Instrument landing systems. In a Fit of Panic, Paddy the Pilot turns to his co-Pilot and says. “Jazus Mick…Well have to turn back…none of the equipment is working!.” Mick says to Paddy; “No Problem…Sure I can tell where we are by sticking my hand out the Window!

“OK!” says Paddy, “Where are we then?”

Mick winds down the window and sticks his hand out and replies; “Well Paddy, I reckon were over the Bay of Biscay. The humidity seems to be gone out of the air. This is caused by the seawater. Just Head North”

“Brilliant!” replies Paddy, and precedes north bound. Fifteen Minutes later Paddy asks: ” Where are we now Mick?”

Mick winds down the window and sticks his hand out and replies; ” Were over the English Channel now. The air is much cooler here. Just head in a north easterly direction.”

Thirty minutes Later Paddy asks: ” Where are we now Mick?”

Mick winds down the window and sticks his hand out and replies; “Were over the Ballymun flats. Quick…Bank left here and you should be on Course for Runway One. Paddy, Responds and 5 minutes later the plane lands safely on Runway One. Paddy turns to Mick and says: “That was Brilliant…But…Tell Me . How did you know we were over the Ballymun Flats”. “Well!” said Mick…When I pulled my hand back in.. My Watch was Gone!”

An American tourist was driving in County Kerry, when his motor stopped. He got out to see if he could locate the trouble. A voice behind him said, “The trouble is the carburetor.” He turned around and only saw an old horse. The horse said again, “It’s the carburetor that’s not working.” The American nearly died with fright, and dashed into the nearest pub, had a large whiskey, and told Murphy the bartender what the horse had said to him.

Murphy said, “Well, don’t pay any attention to him, he knows nothing about cars anyway.”

Visit the barber

Friday, October 5th, 2007

A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair.

“I’m goin’ to buy a green tie to wear for the parade,” he said. “I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

When the boy’s haircut was completed and the man still hadn’t returned, the barber said, “Looks like your daddy’s forgotten all about you.” “That wasn’t my daddy,” said the boy. “He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, ‘Come on, son, we’re gonna get a free haircut!’”
