I was at my regular bar the other night when
big Alex walked in, took his usual seat and
ordered a pint of his favorite lager.
Alex leaned over and said to me: "I've just
called the local insane asylum yesterday to
check on who has escaped from there recently."
I was confused by this remark so asked him,
"Why on earth would you want to know such
a thing???"
Alex leaned closer and explained:
"Well, somebody married my ex last week.

Last night my spouse was berating me for
wanting to check my email as soon as I got
home from work.
"You know", she complained, "I think that
work rules your life".
"No dear," I replied, "_you_ rule my life.
I just prefer work."

himself to death in December in Newton, N.C.,

to his ear.

My friend benny found a magic lantern....
got his 3 wishes - but was warned that if he

any longer -- so he shaved...."poof" he was
