The Blonde goes to the Post Office to buy stamps for her Christmas Cards.
She says to the Clerk, "May I have 50 Christmas Stamps?"
The Clerk says, "What denomination?"
The Blonde says, "God help us. Has it come to this?"
"Give me 22 Lutheran, 12 Catholic, 10 Presbyterian and 6 Baptist."

In the Men's room at work, the Boss had placed a sign directly above the sink. It had a single word on it, "Think!"
The next day, when he went to the Men's room, he looked at the sign and right below, immediately above the soap dispenser, someone had carefully lettered another sign which read "Thoap!"

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but if you don't go in for a regular check-up, you're bananas.

You hear the expression "Lie like a dog" so much it is almost a cliché.

Labrador Retriever Still Top Dog In USA
The American Kennel Club says the Labrador Retriever is the Nation's most popular dog for the 22nd straight year - for attributes that range from family-friendly pet to search-and-rescue nose.
The German Shepherd still commands the No. 2 Spot, according to the AKC Top 10 list released Wednesday. And the Golden Retriever has nudged out the Beagle for the No. 3 rung.
The Beagle is now fourth. The rest of the pack: Bulldog, Yorkshire Terrier, Boxer, Poodle, Rottweiler and Dachshund.

Black Balls ???
A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose.
A young female student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.
"Nurse", he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely."
"Are - my - test - results - back ?"

The day after Thanksgiving is, in my opinion, the biggest shopping day of the year.

My Dad didn't make anywhere near 85, just 71 1/2.
My Mom made it to 93 and 10 months.
Not sure what that means for me.

If they had a sponge that cleaned up broken dreams, Woolworth's would still be in business.

Interesting story, no doubt about it. They think something may have distracted him because it was mating season.

A couple of weekends ago I visited my older brother and his wife's home in Key West. While I was there I decided to take the Conch Tour around the island. And here was an interesting little fact the Guide gave out:
90 miles is the distance from Key West to Havana, Cuba. (yes, Ive known that one for a very long time).
128 miles is the distance from Key West to the nearest Mal-Mart! (probably it's in the southern part of Dade County on the mainland.)
