~~ Carlos the ice-cream man’s van is parked at the side of the road.

Lights flashing, music playing, a big queue of excited kids
stretches down the street.
But no sign of Carlos.
A cop walking down the road wonders what is going on.
Where is Carlos?
Why is he not dishing out the ice-cream?
He goes over to the van and peers over the high counter.
On the floor he spots Carlos, lying very still covered in
chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce, nuts, hundreds and
thousands and those little jelly bits.
"Get back kids" he shouts.
Moving away so the bemused kids cannot overhear him he
gets on the radio to the station.
Sarge get someone down here quick" he stutters
"Carlos the ice-cream man ......... He’s topped himself !"

~~ On a beautiful Summer's day, a father and his
eight-year-old son were lying on the grass by the river bank,
looking up at the sky and watching the wisps of cloud float
gently overhead.
After a few minutes of silence, the boy turned to the father
and said "Dad, why are we here?"
"That's a good question, son.
I think we're here to enjoy days such as this, to experience
nature in all its glory, the vastness of the sky, the beauty of
the trees, the song of the birds, the rippling flow of the
water.
We're here to help make the world a better place,
to pass on our wisdom to future generations who will
hopefully profit from our achievements and learn from our
mistakes.
We're here to savour the small triumphs of life -
passing your school exams, the birth of a new member of
the family, promotion at work, a win for our team.
And we're here to comfort those dearest to us in times of
distress, to provide kindness and compassion,
support and strength, to let them know that, no matter how
bad a situation may seem, they are not alone.
Does that answer your question, son?"
"Not really, Dad."
"No?"
"No, what I meant was, why are we here when Mum
said to pick her up over an hour ago?"

☼

~~ There was a man in the hospital bed.

"Halfway down."

The only sound is the murmur of dad's voice.
Two hours pass, and there's silence in the room.
The mother creeps to the door and whispers:
"Is he asleep dear?"
"Yes, Mummy" says her son.

☼

~~ I bought a new abacus from a street corner salesman
this morning.
I said "This looks a bit dodgey,

~~ A snake walks? into a bar and orders a beer.
The bartender tells him he cant serve him.

~~ A man being mugged by two thugs put up a
tremendous fight!
Finally, the thugs subdued him and took his wallet.
Upon finding only two dollars in the wallet,
the surprised thug said "Why did you put up such a fight?"
To which the man promptly replied
"I was afraid that you would find the $200 hidden in my
shoe!"

Just go down the hall..... He's in the last room on the right."
The shrink goes in the room and sees Froggy's husband
sitting on the edge of the bathtub, dangling a fish line in
the toilet.
He goes back to the wife and says, "Yes, this is very
serious.
But why didn't you call me sooner?"
"Who had time?" Froggy asks.....
"I've been cleaning fish all week."

Her mother noticed she was looking a little peaked and
asked, "Honey, are you feeling all right?"
"Not really," the blonde replied.

~~ One of my husband's duties as a novice drill instructor
at Fort Jackson, S.C., was to escort new recruits to the mess
hall.
After everyone had made it through the chow line,
he sat them down and told them,
"There are three rules in this mess hall:
Shut up! Eat up! Get up!"
Checking to see that he had everyone's attention,
he asked, "What is the first rule?"
Much to the amusement of the other instructors,
60 privates yelled in unison, "Shut up, Drill Sergeant!"

☼

~~ A few women were sitting around the table talking,
and the subject turned to their husbands.
One lady said "My husband just won't go to church with me,
I think he's going to go to Hell."
This led to talk around the table and it was generally agreed
that, for one reason or another, all the husbands were going
to end up in Hell.
So, then the housewives started speculating about
themselves.
One woman said "I try to be good - I'm sure I'll make it to
Heaven."
Another one said, "No, I did this bad thing.
I won't make it unless I mend my ways and I better start soon."
At this point they noticed that one of the ladies
(the only single women in the group, and a blonde mind you)
wasn't saying anything.
They turned to her and said "You're such a nice lady,
surely you'll be going to Heaven?"
She says "No way!
In fact, first thing in the morning, I'm going to buy me a
ticket straight to Hell!"
They were shocked and asked, "Why??"
"Well, you don't expect me to live in a world without men,
do you?"

☼

~~ A pastor received a box of goodies addressed to his

~~ A Redneck buys a ticket and wins the lottery.
He goes to R-ville to claim it and the man verifies his ticket
number.
The Redneck says, "I want my $20 million."
The man replied, "No, sir.
It doesn't work that way.
We give you a million today and then you'll get the rest
spread out for the next 19 years."
The Redneck said, "Oh, no.
I want all my money right now! I won it and I want it."
Again, the man explains that he would only get a million
that day and the rest during the next 19 years.
The Redneck, furious with the man, screams out,
"Look, I want my money!
If you're not going to give me my $20 million right now,
then I want my dollar back!"

☼

~~ Petewete walked over to the perfume counter and told
the clerk he'd like a bottle of Chanel No. 5 for his wife's
birthday.
"A little surprise, eh?" smiled the clerk.
"You bet," answered Petewete.
"She's expecting a cruise."

Rae's Trivia....  Why don't cashews come in shells?   
Cashew nuts are expensive, and never have shells because
the shell and skin of the cashew nut contains extremely
caustic oil that can painfully blister the skin.
This dangerous oil must be completely removed before the
nut can be touched or eaten.

~~ A Sunday School teacher of preschoolers was concerned that his students might be a little confused about Jesus Christ

because of the Christmas season emphasis on His birth.
He wanted to make sure they understood that the birth of
Jesus occurred a long time ago, that He grew up, etc.
So he asked his class, "Where is Jesus today?"
Steven raised his hand and said, "He's in heaven."
Mary was called on and answered, "He's in my heart."
Little Johnny, waving his hand furiously, blurted out, "I know!
I know! He's in our bathroom!!!"
The whole class got very quiet, looked at the teacher,
and waited for a response.
The teacher was completely at a loss for a few very long
seconds.
He finally gathered his wits and asked Little Johnny how he
knew this.
And Little Johnny said, "Well...every morning, my father
gets up, bangs on the bathroom door, and yells
'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?'!"

apartment, the wife would often complain about anything,

Joel, she said, I don't like this place at all.

If the neighbors do see you, they'll buy curtains.
Then, the fight started.....

send them."
"Why not?" asked her friend.
"Well, he didn’t actually say that he was in Heaven,

but, he didn’t mention anything about including matches
in the package, did he?"

from memory."

Then one of the friends asked,
