Free Help


The phone rings at FBI headquarters.

"Hello?"
"Hello, is this FBI?"
"Yes. What do you want?"
"I'm calling to report my neighbor Tom. He is hiding marijuana in his firewood."
"This will be noted."

Next day, the FBI comes over to Tom's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept, break every piece of wood, find no marijuana, swear at Tom and leave. 

The phone rings at Tom's house.

"Hey, Tom! Did the FBI come?"
"Yeah!"
"Did they chop your firewood?"
"Yeah they did."
"Okay, now it's your turn to call. I need my garden plowed."

Go Back : We F****D Up Everything


Recycling


A gum-chewing American and a Frenchman are sitting together in a restaurant. The American feel really proud to be an American, so he starts a conversation. He asks the Frenchman, "When you eat bread, do you eat all of it?"

"Mais oui!, of course!" responds the Frenchman.

"Well," says the American, "we only eat the soft part of it. The rest we collect in containers, take to a factory and put through a mill. What comes out are little breads that we sell in France.

"And what about steaks?" he continues. "Do you eat all parts of them?"

"Bien sur! We do," replies the Frenchman.

"You don't say!" says the America, grinning. "We don't! We only eat the meaty part of the steak. The greasy part we collect in containers, take to a factory, put through a mill, and what comes out are little steaks that we sell in France."

Now the Frenchman is really riled. So he asks, "And what do Americans do with their used condoms?"

"Hey, we throw them away of course," says the American.

"Ha!" exclaims the Frenchman. "We collect them in containers, take them to a factory and put them through a mill. What comes out is chewing gum that we sell in America!"

Office Monday To Friday


Give Me An Excuse That I Haven't Heard Before

A man in his 40's bought a new BMW and was out on the Pacific Highway for a nice evening drive. The top down, breeze blowing through what was left of his hair, and he decided to open her up. As the needle went over 140 km/h, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him.

"There's no way they can catch my BMW," he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 160, 180.... then the reality of the situation hit him.

"What am I doing?" he thought and pulled over.

The cop came up to him, took his license without a word, and examined it and the car.

"It's been a long day, this is the end of my shift, and it's Friday. I don't feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go."

The guy thinks for a second and says, "Last week my wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back."

"Have a nice weekend," said the officer.

Catholic Kids

Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee.

The first Catholic man tells his friends, “My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him ‘Father’.”

The second Catholic man chirps, “My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him ‘Your Grace’.”

The third Catholic gent says, “My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone says ‘Your Eminence’.”

The fourth Catholic man then says, “My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him ‘Your Holiness’.”

Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, “Well....?” She proudly replies, “I have a daughter,slim, tall,38D breast, 24” waist,34” hips. When she walks into a room people say, “Oh My God.”

You Can't Cuff Me


What a Warning...


Last Time In Dallas


A cowboy walks into a bar in a town he'd never been to before.

This town is known for their vehement harrassment of strangers, and that's exactly what happens to the cowboy the whole time he's in the bar.

He finally tires of it, finishes his beer and walks out the door only to discover his horse is missing.

He walks back into the bar, removes his pistol from the holster, shoots once in the air, and says,
"Alright, my horse is missing and I'm not happy about it. I'm going to sit down here at the bar and have me another beer, and by the time I'm finished with it my horse better be standing outside or I'm just gonna have to do what I did in Dallas last time this happened to me!!."

Of course this scares everyone to death and nobody even whispers while he drinks his second beer. He finishes it, walks outside, and his horse has been returned! The bartender follows him outside and meekly says, "Excuse me mister, but if you don't mind me asking, what did you do in Dallas?" The cowboy says....  "I . . .  walked home."

Letter To Monday


Fishing

Three blondes are sitting by the side of a river holding fishing poles with the lines in the water. A game warden comes up behind them, taps them on the shoulder and says, “Excuse me, ladies, I'd like to see your fishing licenses.”

“We don't have any,” replied the first blonde.

“Well, if you're going to fish, you need fishing licenses,” said the game warden.

“But officer,” replied the second blonde, “We aren't fishing. We all have magnets at the end of our lines and we're collecting debris off the bottom of the river.”

The game warden lifted up all the lines and, sure enough, there were horseshoe magnets tied on the end of each line.

“Well, I know of no law against it," said the game warden, "Take all the debris you want.” And with that, the game Warden left.

As soon as the game warden was out of sight, the three blondes started laughing hysterically. “What a dumb cop, the second blonde said to the other two, doesn't he know that there are steelhead trout in this river?!”

Cheap Air Bags For Your Car


Its Always 50 - 50


A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at McDonald's. He noticed that they had ordered one meal, and an extra drink cup. 

As he watched, the older gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the fries, one for him, one for her, until each had half of them.

Then the old man poured half of the soft drink into the extra cup and set that in front of his wife. The old man then began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her lap.

The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal for them so that they didn't have to split theirs.

The old gentleman said, "Oh, no. We've been married 50 years, and everything has always been and will always be shared, 50/50."

The young man then asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she replied, "Not yet. It's his turn with the teeth.

    A Day In Life Of Mr. Bean


    Saying Goodbye


    A couple were going out for the evening.

    They'd got ready, all dolled up, cat put out, etc. The taxi arrives, and as the couple got out, the cat shoots back in.

    They don't want the cat shut in the house, so the wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes upstairs to chase the cat out.

    The wife, not wanting it known that the house will be empty explains to the taxi driver, "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."

    A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab, "Sorry I took so long," he says. "Stupid old thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!"

    Going Out In Style


    Unable to attend the funeral after his father died, a son who lived far away called his brother and told him, "Do something nice for Dad and send me the bill."

    Later, he got a bill for $200.00, which he paid. The next month, he got another bill for $200.00, which he also paid, figuring it was some incidental expense.

    Bills for $200.00 kept arriving every month, and finally the man called his brother again to find out what was going on.

    "Well," said the other brother, "you said to do something nice for Dad. So I rented him a tuxedo."

    Wow.. What A Zoom
