    Expensive Doctors

    A young woman wasn’t feeling well, so she asked one her

    co-workers to recommend a physician.

    “I know a great one in the city, but he is very expensive.

    Five hundred dollars for the first visit, and one hundred

    dollars for each one after that.”

    The woman went to the doctor’s office and, trying to save a

    little money, cheerily announced, “I’m back!”

    Not fooled for a second, the doctor quickly examined her and

    said, “Very good. Just continue the treatment I prescribed

    on your last visit.”

    Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels good.

    Talk is cheap because supply exceeds the demand.

    Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They both should be changed regularly and for the same reason.

    It’s easier to fight for ones’ principles than to live up to them.

    I don’t mind going anywhere as long as it’s an interesting path.

    Anything free is worth what you pay for it.

    It hurts to be on the cutting edge.

    If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is.

    I don’t get even, I get older.

    In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.

    Dijon vu – the same mustard as before.

    I am a nutritional overachiever.

    My inferiority complex is not as good as yours.

    I am having an out of money experience.

    I am in shape. round is a shape.

    A day without sunshine is like night.

    If marriage were outlawed, only outlaws would have in-laws.

    Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair stylist you like.

    The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

    Time may be a great healer, but it’s also a lousy beautician.

    Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

    You don’t stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stopped laughing.

    A man was driving when a traffic camera flashed. He thought his picture was

    taken for exceeding the speed limit, even though he knew he was not

    speeding. Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same

    spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. He thought

    this was quite funny, so he slowed down even further as he drove past the

    area, but the traffic camera flashed yet again. He tried a fourth time with

    the same result. The fifth time he was laughing when the camera flashed as

    he rolled past at a snail’s pace.

    Two week later, he got five traffic fine letters in the mail for driving

    without a seat belt.

    Two beggars are sitting on the pavement in Ireland . One is holding a large cross and the other a large star of David. Both are holding hats to collect contributions. As people walk by they lift their noses at the guy holding the star of David but drop money in the other guy’s hat. Soon one hat is nearly full whilst the other hat is empty.

    A bystander watches and then approaches the men. He turns to the guy with the Star of David and says, “Don’t you realize that this is a Christian country? You’ll never get any contributions in this country holding a Star of David.”

    The guy holding the star of David then turns to the guy holding the cross and says, “Chaim, look who`s trying to teach us marketing.”

    An Irishman , a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

    They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, “Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I’m going to jump off this building.”

    The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, “Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I’m going to jump off, too.”

    The blonde opened his lunch and said, ” Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I’m jumping too.”

    The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.

    The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.

    The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

    At the funeral, the Irishman’s wife was weeping.She said, “If I’d known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!”

    The Mexican’s wife also wept and said, “I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn’t realize he hated burritos so much.”

    (Oh this is GOOD!!)

    Everyone turned and stared at the blonde’s wife. The blonde’s wife said,

    “Don’t look at me. He makes his own lunch.”

    A rubber band was confiscated from algebra class because it was a weapon of math disruption

    Building the ark

    And the Lord spoke to Noah and said: “In six months I’m going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water and all the evil people are destroyed. But I want to save a few good people, and two of every kind ofliving thing on the planet. I am ordering you to build Me an Ark.”

    And in a flash of lightning he delivered the specifications for an Ark. “OK,” said Noah, trembling in fear and fumbling with the blueprints. “Six months, and it starts to rain,” thundered the Lord. “You’d better have my Ark completed, or learn how to swim for a very long time.” And six months passed. The skies began to cloud up and rain began to fall.

    The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard, weeping. And there was no Ark. “Noah,” shouted the Lord, “where is my Ark?” A lightning bolt crashed into the ground next to Noah.

    “Lord, please forgive me!” begged Noah. “I did my best. But there were big problems. First I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn’t meet code. So I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans. Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system. My neighbors objected, claiming I was violating zoning by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission.

    Then I had a big problem getting enough wood for the Ark because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the Spotted Owl. I had to convince U.S. Fish and Wildlife that I needed the wood to save the owls. But they wouldn’t let me catch any owls. So no owls.

    Then the carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or a hammer. Now we have 16 carpenters going on the boat, and still no owls.

    Then I started gathering up animals, and got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to me taking only two of each kind. Just when I got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn’t complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. They didn’t take kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of a Supreme Being.

    Then the Army Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the Proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe.

    Right now I’m still trying to resolve a complaint from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over how many Croatians I’m supposed to hire, the IRS has seized all my assets claiming I’m trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and I just got a notice from the state about owing some kind of use tax. I really don’t think I can finish your Ark for at least another five years,” Noah wailed.

    The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled. “You mean you’re not going to destroy the earth?” Noah asked, hopefully.

    “No,” said the Lord sadly, “Government already has.”

    -The boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn’t getting any respect. Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign that read:

    “I’m the Boss!”

    He then taped it to his office door.

    Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said:

    “Your wife called, she wants her sign back!”

    A pre-med student was required to take a difficult class in physics. One day the professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. The student rudely interrupted to ask, “Why do we have to learn this stuff?”

    “To save lives,” the professor responded quickly and continued the lecture.

    A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again. “So how does physics save lives?” he persisted.

    “It usually keeps idiots like you out of medical school,” replied the professor.

    hello! i’m finally back from camp. thanks a lot for not letting this fall too far down. i think i came home just in time to help thi thread. not my best but this will do for now:

    A retired man moves near a junior high school. He spends the first few weeks of retirement in peace and quiet. However, when a new school year begins, three young boys beat on every trash can they encounter every day on their way home from school.

    Finally, the man decides to take action and walks out to meet the boys. He says, “You kids are a lot of fun. I’ll give you each a dollar if you’ll promise to come around every day and do your thing.” The kids continue to do a bang-up job on the trashcans.

    After a few days, the man tells the kids, “This recession’s really putting a big dent in my income. From now on, I’ll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on the cans.” The noisemakers are displeased, but they accept his offer.

    A few days later, the retiree approaches them again. “Look,” he says, “I haven’t received my Social Security check yet, so I’m not going to be able to pay more than 25 cents. Will that be OK?”

    “A freakin’ quarter?” the drum leader exclaims. “If you think we’re going to waste our time beating these cans around for a quarter, you’re nuts. We quit.”

    There was a ‘wanabe Cantor’ who came to a small town for a weekend and asked for the

    umed.

    The crowd obliged and he went up there ‘krechtzing’ away.

    When he was finished someone approached him and made the following remark;

    ‘You are definitly a better Cantor than Yossele Rosenblatt’

    Beaming at the compliment he replied, ‘Really?’

    ‘Sure, when HE sang, people cried. When YOU sing, people laugh!!!

    A woman asked her husband to unload the washing machine to the drier and set it , so that when she gets home she can fold the laundy. She got home, he had already left, and saw he left her a note.

    Dear Honey,

    I hope you appreaciate all I do,

    I am a pro at helping you!

    She walked over to the drier which was still spinning. She opened it up to feel how wet the clothes still were only to discover that he turned on the drier, but forgot the load the clothes in from washing machine.

    So she wrote him back a note:

    You’re the guy I’d never hire,

    Thanks for turning on an empty drier!!

    Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he just didn’t show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.

    The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo’s own responsibility. The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee. The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payrole.

    Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain (or some such scenario), is a man who’d apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own; and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about $560 per day — for 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million dollars!

    although it is a cute story, it is nothing more that an urban myth that started out as an April fools joke in a UK newspaper.

    imagine if he wanted to do Tshuvah he would have to return the money and ask mechilah from every person he stole from! impossible. Teshuva requires one to rectify the situation and gain mechilah from the wronged parties, crying out to Hashem in repentace is not enough (though it helps)

    Last month, a world-wide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question

    asked was:

    “Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food

    shortage in the rest of the world?”

    The survey was a huge failure because…:

    In Africa they didn’t know what “food” means.

    In Eastern Europe they didn’t know what “honest” means.

    In Western Europe they didn’t know what “shortage” means.

    In China they didn’t know What “opinion” means.

    In the Middle East they didn’t know what “solution” means.

    In South America they didn’t know what “please” means.

    In the USA they didn’t know what “the rest of the world” means

    45 or 82?

    Joe the lawyer died suddenly, at the age of 45. He got to the gates of Heaven, and the angel standing there said, “We’ve been waiting a long time for you.”

    “What do you mean?” he replied. “I’m only 45, in the prime of my life. Why did I have to die now?”

    “45? You’re not 45, you’re 82,” replied the angel.

    “Wait a minute. If you think I’m 82, then you have the wrong guy. I’m only 45. I can show you my birth certificate.”

    “Hold on. Let me go check,” said the angel, and disappeared inside. After a few minutes the angel returned. “Sorry, but by our records you are 82. I checked all the hours you have billed your clients, and you have to be 82…”

    A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.”

    The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?”

    The boy takes the quarters and leaves the dollar.

    ‘What did I tell you?’ said the barber. “That kid never learns!”

    Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store and says, “Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”

    The boy licked his cone and replied, “because the day I take the dollar, the game’s over!”

    Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year,

    And every year Morris would say,

    ‘Esther, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.’

    Esther always replied,

    ‘I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars,

    And fifty dollars is fifty dollars’

    One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said,

    ‘Esther, I’m 85 years old.

    If I don’t ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.’

    To this, Esther replied,

    ‘Morris that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’

    The pilot overheard the couple and said,

    ‘Folks I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don’t say a word I won’t charge you a penny!

    But if you say one word it’s fifty dollars.’

    Morris and Esther agreed and up they went.

    The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard.

    He did his daredevil tricks over and over again,

    But still not a word.

    When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said,

    ‘By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t.

    I’m impressed!’

    Morris replied,

    ‘Well, to tell you the truth,

    I almost said something when Esther fell out,

    But you know,

    fifty dollars is fifty dollars!

    Abbott and Costello

    You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and not too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on…

    If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, ‘Who’s on First?’ might have turned out something like this:

    COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

    ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

    COSTELLO: Thanks I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking about buying a computer.

    ABBOTT: Mac?

    COSTELLO: No, the name’s Lou.

    ABBOTT: Your computer?

    COSTELLO: I don’t own a computer. I want to buy one.

    ABBOTT: Mac?

    COSTELLO: I told you, my name’s Lou.

    ABBOTT: What about Windows?

    COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

    ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

    COSTELLO: I don’t know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

    ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

    COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

    ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

    COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?

    ABBOTT: Office.

    COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

    ABBOTT: I just did.

    COSTELLO: You just did what?

    ABBOTT: Recommend something.

    COSTELLO: You recommended something?

    ABBOTT: Yes.

    COSTELLO: For my office?

    ABBOTT: Yes.

    COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

    ABBOTT: Office.

    COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

    ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

    COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let’s just say I’m sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

    ABBOTT: Word.

    COSTELLO: What word?

    ABBOTT: Word in Office.

    COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

    ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

    COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

    ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue ‘W’.

    COSTELLO: I’m going to click your blue ‘w’ if you don’t start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: That’s right. What do you have?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

    ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

    COSTELLO: What’s bundled with my computer?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

    ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.

    COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

    ABBOTT: One copy.

    COSTELLO: Isn’t it illegal to copy money?

    ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

    COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

    ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

    (A few days later)

    ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

    COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

    ABBOTT: Click on ‘START’………….

    This may be a repeat:

    In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

    On a Sears hairdryer — Do not use while sleeping. (Shux, and that’s the only time I have to work on my hair).

    On a bag of Fritos — You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special)?

    On a bar of Dial soap — “Directions: Use like regular soap.” (and that would be how???…..)

    On some Swanson frozen dinners — “Serving suggestion: Defrost.” (but, it’s “just” a suggestion).

    On Tesco’s Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) — “Do not turn upside down.” (well…duh, a bit late, huh)!

    On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding – “Product will be hot after heating.” (…and you thought????….)

    On packaging for a Rowenta iron — “Do not iron clothes on body.” (but wouldn’t this save me more time)?

    On Boot’s Children Cough Medicine — “Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication.” (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

    On Nytol Sleep Aid — “Warning: May cause drowsiness…” (and…I’m taking this because???….)

    On most brands of Christmas lights — “For indoor or outdoor use only.” (as opposed to…what)?

    On a Japanese food processor — “Not to be used for the other use.” (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I’m a bit curious.)

    On Sainsbury’s peanuts — “Warning: contains nuts.” (talk about a news flash)

    On an American Airlines packet of nuts — “Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts.” (Step 3: maybe, uh…fly Delta?)

    On a child’s Superman costume — “Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.” (I don’t blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

    A 30-year-old BLONDE decides to try horseback riding for the first time.

    With no lessons, nor prior experience, she mounts the horse unassisted,

    and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a

    steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slide from

    the saddle.

    In terror, she grabs for the horse’s mane, but cannot seem to get a

    firm grip.

    She tries to throw her arms around the horse’s neck, but she slides

    down the horse’s side anyway. The horse gallops along,

    seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider.

    Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away

    from the horse and throw herself to safety.

    Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup; she is now

    at the mercy of the horse’s pounding hooves as her head is struck

    against the ground over and over.

    As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away

    from unconsciousness when to her great fortune…..

    Frank, the Wal-Mart greeter, sees her dilemma and unplugs the horse.

    real life humor:

    last night, I mistakenly (very very mistakenly) wrote in a text to someone I haven’t spoken to in a long time, (obviously the second part was in reference to something completely different than the first “Hows life? You’re finishing this week, no?”
