When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed,

Pete had done.

a jar of olives."

said, "Honey, honestly now, what age would you say I am?"

"Well, judging from your skin, twenty.
Your hair, eighteen.
Your figure, twenty-five."
Feeling flattered, the wife sighed, "Oh, you're so sweet!"

Several weeks passed before Winston felt it necessary to
return to his surgeons.
When he did, Winston complained bitterly,
'Doctor, I keep hearing this noise and its doing my head in. '
The doctor, totally unconcerned answered,
'Don't worry, its just a bit of crackling.'

~~ Fifty years after graduating from high school, I started
college.
Things were progressing well until one evening I ran into
trouble while working on a geology assignment.
I had to find the square root of a number.
I vaguely recalled the complicated maneuver but finally had

~~ A funny for Taz:
When I first became a nurse, I worked on a med/surg floor
night shift.
And as most night shifters do, I became used to seeing in the
dark.
One day at about 5:30 a.m. I was hunched down at the foot of
a bed emptying a bedpan.
My sweet, little lady patient must have heard the sound of
urine flowing and saw me squatting.
She peered at me for a few seconds, then said,
" Honey, I think they have a bathroom in here somewhere."

~~ A midwest farmer was describing his lifestyle to a touring
group of city folks.
"One of the benefits of this profession," he explained,
"is that we have built-in weather predictions."
"What do you mean by that?" asked one inquisitive visitor.
"When the cows are standing," the farmer explained,
"it means no rain is likely for the next twenty-four hours.
When they're lying down, it means it's going to rain."
"On our bus trip," another visitor piped in,
"I saw half the herd standing and the other half lying down.
What does this mean?"
The farmer flashed a smile and answered,
"That means half of them are wrong."

~~ A violent tropical storm enveloped a sailing yacht off the
southern coast of Florida lasting all night and most of the
next morning.
As the sky cleared and the seas calmed, the people on the
yacht realized they were grounded on a coral reef about a mile
from shore in shark infested waters.
Most of those aboard the yacht were badly injured from their
ordeal.
The only able bodied that were on board were a doctor, a priest,

and a lawyer.
The doctor says, "Someone is going to have to swim ashore
and get some help.
I would volunteer but most of the crew and passengers are in
pretty bad shape and I am needed here to care for them."
The priest replies, "I would volunteer to go also but I might be
needed to comfort the injured or perform last rights."
The lawyer says, "No problem."
He immediately strips off his shirt and dives into the shark
infested water.

There is a great turbulence in the water and then the doctor
and priest notice that all of the sharks have formed a double
line from the yacht to the beach allowing the lawyer to swim
between them.
"My Goodness," says the priest. "It is a miracle!"
The doctor looking at the lawyer swimming to shore says,
"No, Father, It is not a miracle, It's professional courtesy!"

song." Pete thought for a few minutes, then said,
"Tell you what doc, I'll settle for five more years and just give
up singing."

as teeing up on the woman's tee directly in front of him.

autopsy.
Coroner : "John, your wife seemed to have died from blunt
force trauma to the head.
You said you hit a golf ball and hit her in the temple,
is that correct?"
John: "Yes, sir, that's correct."
Coroner: "Well,
inexplicably I found a golf ball wedged up her a-s."
John: "Was it a Titleist 3?"
Coroner: "Yes, it was."
John: "That was my mulligan."

~~ A perfect marriage is one in which "I'm sorry"

Cat came strolling by.
Daughter, feeling like playing a joke on cat, picked him up to

Cat hooked his claws into daughter's sweater and hung on.
This changed the center of gravity of the pair of them,
and daughter summersalted off the porch to land in the snow,
flat on her back with cat sitting on her chest.
Cat calmly hopped up onto the porch and strolled away.
Not even his feet were snowy.
