School Pictures

   The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was
   trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

   "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all
   grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or
   'That's Michael. He's a doctor.'"

   A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's
   the teacher. She's dead."

Seven Ten Cap

The other day I was in the local auto parts store. A lady comes in and asks for a seven ten cap. We all look at each other and ask, "What's a seven ten cap?"

She says, "You know, it's right on the engine. Mine got lost somehow and I need a new one."

"What kind of a car is it?" they ask. Now I'm thinking maybe an old Datsun Seven Ten, but no, she says that it's a Buick.

"Okay, Lady, how big is it?" She makes a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. "What does it do?" they ask. She says, "I don't know, but it's always been there."

One of them gives her a note pad and asks her if she can draw a picture of it. So she makes a circle about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and in the center she writes  710. 

The guys behind the counter are looking at it as she writes it ... and they just fall down behind the counter laughing so hard in hysterics. Then one goes and gets it for her.

Yes, she was a blonde.

If you don't get it...draw a circle, write 710 inside of it. Now rotate the circle 180 degrees.

SEVEN WONDERS
A group of Geography students studied the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of that section, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids,
2. Taj Mahal,
3. Grand Canyon,
4. Panama Canal,
5. Empire State Building,
6. St. Peter's Basilica,
7. China's Great Wall.

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear . . . She hesitated a little, and then
5. to run
6. to laugh
7. and to love

It is far too easy for us to look at the exploits of man and refer to them as "wonders" while we overlook all God has done, regarding them as merely "ordinary." May you be reminded today of those things which are truly wondrous.

Simple English, Please!

A research team proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified.

One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; subsequently the second member of the team performed a self-rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.

In simple English what does this translate to??

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.

Snoring Dog

A couple has a dog that snores. Annoyed because she can't
sleep, the wife goes to the vet to see if he can help. The vet tells the woman totie a ribbon around the dog's testicles and he will stop snoring.

"Yeah right!" she thinks.

A few minutes after going to bed, the dog begins snoring as usual. The wife tosses and turns, unable to sleep. Finally, muttering to herself, she goes to the closet and grabs a piece of ribbon and ties it carefully around the dog's testicles.
Sure enough, the dog stops snoring. The woman is amazed!

Later that night, her husband returns home drunk from being out with his buddies. He climbs into bed, falls asleep, and immediately begins snoring loudly. The woman thinks that maybe the ribbon will work on him too. So she goes to the
closet again, grabs a piece of ribbon, and ties it around her husband's testicles.

Amazingly, it also works on him! She then sleeps soundly.

He wakes in a drunken stupor and stumbles into the bathroom.
As he stands in front of the toilet, he glances in the mirror and sees a blue ribbon attached to his privates. He is very confused, and as he walks back into the bedroom, he sees a red ribbon attached to his dog's testicles.

He shakes his head and looks at the dog and says, "I don't know where we were or what we did but, by damn, we took 1st and 2nd place!"

STAND BY YOUR MAN

The woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.

One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.
As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "My dearest, you have been with me all through the bad times.
When I got fired, you were there to support me.
When my business failed, you were there.
When I got shot, you were by my side.
When we lost the house, you stayed right here.
When my health started failing, you were still by my side.
You know what?"

 "What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.

 "I think you're bad luck."

A partially deaf man goes into the doctor's office for a physical and the doctor says, "I need a stool sample, a urine sample, and a semen sample." The guy looks at his wife and yells, "What did he say?" His wife replies, "He said you need to being in a pair of your underwear!"

The Tale of the Cow

There was once a farmer who bought a new car. The car was fine, but the farmer became thoroughly incised over the pricing system, under which optional equipment and extras kept driving the otherwise modest price through the roof. 

Finally his opportunity for revenge walked right onto his farm. The car salesman came to buy a cow. Quick as a wink, when the car salesman asked the price of the cow, the farmer replied, "The price of a standard cow is $500."

"That sounds fine, I'll take it," replied the salesman.
"Good," said the farmer. "Let me figure out the bill." The farmer scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it to the salesman.  His eyes bugged out as he loudly yelled, "$1,747! You told me $500."

"Yep," replied the farmer. "That's right. But there's some optional equipment and a few extras. It's all written down right there on that paper."  One standard cow $500 Two-tones exterior $99 Dual horns $199 Extra stomach $150 Product storage compartment 125 Four dispensing spigots @$25 $100 Genuine cowhide upholstery $499 Automatic flyswatter $ 75 Total $1747

Now, will that be cash, check or visa/master card?

T-G-I-F

he other day, I was getting into an elevator. As I entered, a lovely woman already inside greeted me by saying, "T - G - I - F."

I smiled at her and replied, "S - H - I - T."

She looked at me, puzzled, and said again, "T - G - I- F."

I acknowledged her remark once more by answering, "S - H - I - T."

The lady was trying to be friendly, so she smiled her biggest smile and said to me as sweetly as possibly, "T - G - I - F" one more time.

Then I smiled back at her and once again replied with a quizzical statement, "S - H - I - T."

The lady, finally deciding to explain, said, "T - G - I - F, Thank Goodness It's Friday.....get it?"

 "S - H - I - T....... Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday."

The Delivery

In the back woods of a rural town, Mrs. Stewart went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery. 

To keep the nervous father-to-be busy, the doctor handed him a lantern and said, "Here, you hold this high so I can see what I'm doing." Soon, a wee baby boy was brought into the world. 

"Whoa there Sir!" said the doctor. "Don't be in a rush to put the lantern down... I think there's yet another wee one to come." Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered another little baby. 

"No, no, don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, young man... It seems there's yet another one besides!" cried the doctor. 

The new father scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor, "Do ya think it's the light that's attractin' them?"

The Farmer's Wife

A farmer was sitting at the table, while his wife was preparing dinner. His wife dropped a spoon and bent over to pick it up. As she bent over the farmer said, "Honey, your butt is as big as a combine."

The wife picks up the spoon and continues cooking, with no comment to her husband. As she put the dinner on the table, she dropped the pepper shaker on the floor. While she was bent over picking it up the farmer said, "Honey, I take that back. Your butt is as big as two combines!"

The wife picks up the pepper, sets it on the table, and begins eating with no comment to her husband. Later on that night after the couple had gone to bed, the farmer started feeling a little frisky.

As he cuddled up to his wife he noticed that there was no response on her end. He tapped his wife on the shoulder and asked her what was wrong. She replied, "Do you really think, that I am going to fire up $300,000 dollars worth of machinery for one LITTLE CORN COB?"
