After Mrs. O'Toole's barn burned down, she called her insurance agent to file a claim.
She told the insurance man, "We had that barn insured for fifty thousand bucks, and we need that money immediately!"
"Just a minute there, Mrs. O'Toole," the agent replied. "Insurance doesn't work quite like that."
"What do you mean?!" she asked. "The policy here says $50,000!"
"That's a maximum," the insurance man explained. "What we do is ascertain the value of what was insured, and then provide you with a new one of comparable worth."
After a long pause, she replied "That's how insurance works?!"
"Absolutely," the agent said.

"Well then," she said, "I'd like to cancel the policy on my husband immediately!"

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweat- Shirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, 'What setting do I use on the washing machine?'

'It depends,' I replied. 'What does it say on your shirt?'

He yelled back, 'Liverpool '

And they say blondes are dumb….

-------------------------------------------------------

A couple are lying in bed. The man says,

'I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world.'

The woman replies, 'I'll miss you...'

-----------------------------------------------------------

'It's just too hot to wear clothes today,' Jack says as he stepped out of
the shower, 'honey, what do you think the neighbours would think if I mowed
the lawn like this?'

'Probably that I married you for your money,' she replied.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Q: What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man?

A: A rumour

-----------------------------------------------------------

A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding
anniversary. On their special day a good fairy came to them and said that
because they had been so good that each one of them could have one wish.

The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband.

Whoosh! Immediately she had airline/cruise tickets in her hands.

The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger...

Whoosh...immediately he turned ninety!!!

Gotta love that fairy!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience
for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to
death.

A depressed President Obama was walking along the beach in sunny Hawaii, bemoaning that so many people thought he was a foreigner for being born there. Suddenly he stumbled on a rusty lamp in the sand. He rubbed the sand off and a genie appeared. Amazed, Obama thought of all his problems and wondered if this could be one of those 3-wish genies. He asked.

"Nope. Due to the national debt, constant downsizing and unemployment, low wages in third-world countries and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So, what'll it be Prez?"

Obama rubbed his finger along his nose in his usual thoughtful way, trying to decide on a wish that would help him solve some other problems as well. Finally he said, "I want peace in the Middle East." He drew a map of the area in the sand so the genie would make no mistake.

The genie exclaimed, "Gadzooks, Barry! These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm good, but I'm not THAT good! I don't think it can be done. Make another wish."

Again Obama pondered thoughtfully. "Well, I've been trying to find a few considerate, fair Republicans willing to cooperate with Democrats to solve the nation's great problems. They should have a good sense of humor and like to play basketball and hope I do a good job as President and quit insinuating that I'm a Muslim, a Socialist and a racist. That's what I wish for, Mr. Genie-- a few good Republicans to help me tackle our problems."

The genie let out a long, exasperated sigh and asked meekly, "Uh, can you draw that same map again?"
 
Go to Google Maps. Click on "Get Directions". Then type Taiwan as the starting point and China as the destination. Scroll down and read step 23 of the itinerary.
 
I don't get it. Why is that funny?

Yeah. I would be pretty bummed if I was told to swim the Pacific Ocean when asking directions to get somewhere. Oh! If you were told to... well that's different.
 
I don't get it. Why is that funny?

I guess it just depends on your sense of humor. I found it funny because I'd not expect to see directions call for swimming across an ocean.
 
I thought it was very funny.
But I would have liked them to include a link to a tide table, just for efficiency.
 
("Strait man"--good one, Scrinch!!!)

I guess it just depends on your sense of humor. I found it funny because I'd not expect to see directions call for swimming across an ocean.

Also funny is that Google maps used to include the same step between the US and Europe, but now you can't get any directions, just a comment: "We could not calculate directions between chicago, il and munich, germany."

Someone must have complained that it wasn't funny. Was that you, Sam?:)

We used to have to do that here before the Long Beach Tunnel opened up...
 
Another Blonde Joke

Three blondes were all applying for the last available position on
the Texas Highway Patrol.
The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said,
"So y'all want to be cops, huh?"

The blondes all nodded.

The detective got up, opened a file drawer, and pulled out a folder.
Sitting back down, he opened it, pulled out a picture, and said,
"To be a detective, you have to be able to detect. You must be able to
notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities like scars
and so forth."

So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and
withdrew it after about two seconds.
"Now," he said, "did you notice any distinguishing features about > this man?"

The blonde immediately said,
"Yes, I did. He has only one eye!"

The detective shook his head and said,
"Of course he has only one eye in this picture!
It's a profile of his face! You're dismissed!"

The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.

The detective then turned to the second blonde, stuck the photo in her
face for two seconds, pulled it back, and said,"What about you? Notice
anything unusual or Outstanding about this man?"

"Yes! He only has one ear!"

The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, "Didn't you hear
what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man's face!
Of course you can only see one ear! You're excused too!"

The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.

The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and
said,"This is probably a waste of time, but..."
He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew
it, saying,"All right, did you notice anything distinguishing or
Unusual about this man?"

The blonde said, "I sure did. This man wears contact lenses."
The detective frowned, took another look at the picture, and began
looking at some of the papers in the folder.He looked up at the blonde
with a puzzled expression and said,
"You're absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts! How in the
world could you tell that by looking at his picture?"

The blonde rolled her eyes and said,"Well, Hellooooooooooooo! With
only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses."
 
Don't expect Sam to find it funny. He is just the strait man.

I thought it would be funny if Google maps responds with a [-]"Are you nut?" [/-]"Say what?" or something similar. That'd be my response if someone asks me the DRIVING direction from Houston to Moon or to Mars. Or from Australia to New Zealand. But may be I'm in the minority here. Sorry for asking.

("Strait man"--good one, Scrinch!!!)

Also funny is that Google maps used to include the same step between the US and Europe, but now you can't get any directions, just a comment: "We could not calculate directions between chicago, il and munich, germany."

Someone must have complained that it wasn't funny. Was that you, Sam?:)

No, that wasn't me. I saw that answer before and it made sense to me.

Kindergarten class

The kindergarten teacher was preparing to teach about colors and tastes so she passed around some hard candy.

First some jolly ranchers. As the children tasted each one, they called out the color, then the taste

red ... cherry !

yellow ... lemon !

green ... lime !

orange ... orange!


Then she passed out a honey flavored lifesaver. The kids all put one in their mouth, but none knew the name of the taste. After a few minutes, the teacher said “I’ll give you a hint. It’s what your mommies sometimes call your daddies”

One little girl took the lifesaver out of her mouth, looked at it in horror, then threw it on the floor and yelled “Oh my God ... they’re assholes!”.

The last couple of days? Then it must be due to this thing of ¨tis the season to be jolly....:cool:
 
On the last day of kindergarten, all the children brought presents for their teacher. The florist's son handed the teacher a gift. She shook it, held it up and said, "I bet I know what it is - it's some flowers!"

"That's right!" shouted the little boy.

Then the candy store owner's daughter handed the teacher a gift She held it up, shook it and said. "I bet I know what it is - it's a box of candy!"

"That's right!" shouted the little girl.

The next gift was from the liquor store owner's son. The teacher held it up and saw that it was leaking. She touched a drop with her finger and tasted it. "Is it wine?" she asked.

"No," the boy answered.

The teacher touched another drop to her tongue. "Is it champagne?" she asked.

"No," the boy answered.

Finally, the teacher said, "I give up. What is it?"

The boy replied, "A puppy!"
