I found a new way to sleep on the couch......
The other day I was telling my wife I was 
gaining weight. 
Since I'm slender she scoffed and said go 
ahead and pinch an inch. 
I knew I'd made a mistake just after I reached 
for her tummy.

Government office rules...... 
If it rings, put it on hold. 
If it clanks, call the repairman. 
If it whistles, ignore it. 
If it's a friend, take a break. 
If it's the boss, look busy. 
If it talks, take notes. 
If it's handwritten, type it. 
If it's typed, copy it. 
If it's copied, file it. 
If it's Friday, forget it!

Where did Obama decry the influence of money 
on politics? 
Barbara Streisand’s $28,500 a plate dinner.

Jenn says her husband worked with this guy at 
the high school.
The guy wanted to measure the wall and he 
asked Mike for some assistance.  
Mike said, "why not use the yardstick over 
there?"  
The guy looked at Mike and, very serious,
said, "I can't use that.  
The wall is longer than the yardstick."

"Did you ever walk in a room and forget why 
you walked in?
I think that's how dogs spend their lives."

Moses is sitting in the Egyptian ghetto, things 
are going terrible. 
The Pharaoh won't even talk to him, the rest of 
the Hebrews are mad at him for making the 
overseers even more irritable than usual, and 
so on, and so on, and so on... 
He's so depressed about it all, he's almost ready 
to give up. 
Suddenly a booming, sonorous voice speaks 
from above: "YOU, MOSES, HEED ME. 
I HAVE GOOD NEWS, AND BAD NEWS." 
Moses is staggered. 
The voice continues: "YOU, MOSES, WILL 
LEAD THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL FROM 
BONDAGE. 
IF THE PHARAOH REFUSES TO RELEASE 
YOUR BONDS I WILL SMOTE EGYPT WITH 
A RAIN OF FROGS." 
"YOU, MOSES, WILL LEAD THE PEOPLE OF 
ISRAEL TO THE PROMISED LAND. 
IF THE PHARAOH BLOCKS YOUR WAY I 
WILL SMOTE EGYPT WITH A PLAGUE OF 
LOCUSTS. 
YOU, MOSES, WILL LEAD THE PEOPLE TO 
FREEDOM AND SAFETY. 
IF THE PHARAOH'S ARMY PURSUES YOU, 
I WILL PART THE WATERS OF THE RED SEA
TO OPEN YOUR PATH TO THE PROMISED 
LAND." 
Moses is stunned. 
He stammers, "That's, that's fantastic, I can't 
believe it! -- but... but... but what's the bad news?" 
"YOU, MOSES, MUST WRITE THE 
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT."

One day Joe died and found himself standing 
in front of the pearly gates. 
St. Peter: "Joe, if you can answer one question, 
I'll let you into heaven." 
Joe: "sounds easy enough." 
St. Peter: "O.K., who is with you always?" 
Joe: "Oh, that's easy: Andy!" 
St. Peter: "Andy?" 
Joe: "Yeah, haven't you heard that hymn, 
‘Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me?'" 

••
Did you hear about the man who robbed a 
music shop? 
He got caught with the lute.

•• 
Don't waste money on expensive iPods. 
Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. 
If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of 
another song you like and hum that instead.
