There was a husband and wife, they had 6 kids and so he started calling her "Mother of 6" instead of her first name. She thought this was cute the first time but he kept it up saying "Mother of 6 get me a beer, or Mother of 6 what's for dinner". He called her that all the time instead of her first name and she was getting tired of it. So, one night at a BIG party the husband said, "Mother of 6, let's go" She replied "I am right behind you "Father of 4".

An old lady is cruising through a parking lot in her Mercedes, looking for an open spot. She sees one up ahead, turns on her blinker, and slowly starts to turn into it. Suddenly, a sporty SUV coming the other way turns in front of her and zips into the spot. A young man jumps out and starts towards the store, and the old lady yells at him, "You took my spot, you rude fellow!" The guy, shrugs and says, "Well, that's what you get when you're young and fast!" The lady backs her Mercedes up a bit, then hits the gas and smashes into the SUV. "Well," she yells back, "that's what you get when you're old and rich!"
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He’s not breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911.
“I think my friend is dead!” he yells. “What can I do?”
The operator says, “Calm down. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”
There’s a silence, then a shot. Back on the phone, the guy says, “OK, now what?”
