At breakfast, the husband says to his wife “What would you do if I won the Lotto?” “I’d take half of it and leave you” she says! “Great” he says. “I won $12 bucks yesterday. Here’s $6. Stay in touch”. A guy is watching a film with creepy organ music on the TV and suddenly yells, “No! No! Don’t enter that church, you damn fool.” His wife asks him, “What in the hell are you watching?” Husband replies, “Oh, just our wedding video.” A successful gynecologist decides to fulfill his life’s dream: give up medical practice and become a motorcycle mechanic. So he gets out of the medical business and enrolls at a mechanics’s seminar with Harley-Davidson. After many weeks of training comes the final examination: taking apart and then re-assembling a randomly chosen Harley engine. He grabs his tools and sets to work, but soon he gets worried. While he’s still working on the valve covers, everyone else is already finished. He manages to put the engine back together, but finishes with barely enough time left. After the exam, he went to the instructor to get his critique, half expecting a failing report. The instructor informed him that of 100 points possible, he had scored 150. The man looked at the instructor incrediduously, and asked... “How is that possible?” The instructor replied that he got 100 points for correctly reassembling the engine. He got 50 bonus points for doing it all through the exhaust! WHY don’t you ever see the headline ‘Psychic Wins Lottery’ WHY? do people order bacon double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a Diet Coke. WHY? do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. WHY? do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage. WHY? do they make hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight. WHY do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? WHY are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? A police officer pulled over two nuns riding on a motorcycle, and said to the rider,”Ma’am, your driving much too slowly, could you please drive faster?” The nun says, “Oh- I saw a sign wih the ‘21’ and assumed the speed limit was 21 mph.” The officer explained, “No, the speed limit is 80, and you are on highway 21.” Then the police officer looked at the passenger to see she was shaking like a leaf. “Excuse me Sister, but what’s wrong with your passenger?” “Oh that’s probably because we just got off Highway 205.”
