Smart Answers

1.

It was mealtime during a flight on the International Airline.
"Would you like dinner?"
the stewardess asked Ken, seated in front.
"What are my choices?" Ken asked.
"Yes or no," she replied.

2.
A flight attendant was stationed at the departure
gate to check tickets.
As a man approached, she extended her hand for the
ticket and he opened
his trench coat and flashed her.
Without missing a beat, she said, "Sir, I need to see
your ticket, not your stub."

3.
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family.
She asked a shop assistant, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?"
The assistant replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

4.
The policeman got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window.
"I've been waiting for you all day," the policeman said.
The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could."
When the policeman finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way
without a ticket.

5.
A truck driver was driving along on the freeway.
A sign comes up that Reads, " Low Bridge Ahead."
Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge.
Cars are backed up for miles.
Finally, a police car comes up.
The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says,
"Got stuck, huh?"
The truck driver says,
"No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."

6.
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam.
"Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow.
I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it,
no other excuses whatsoever!"
A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked,
"What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"
The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering.
When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says,
"Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."


 

 

Because I am a man

Because I am a man...When I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a

wire clothes hanger and ignore your  suggestions that we call a road

service until long after hypothermia has set in and I have damaged the

vehicle.

------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the

hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at.  If another

man shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix

these things, but now with all these computers and everything,  I wouldn't

know where to start."

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, when I catch a cold I need someone to bring me soup and

take care of me while I lie in bed and moan.  You never get as sick  as I

do, so for you this isn't an issue

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the

store, like milk or bread.  I cannot be expected to find exotic items

like "Cumin" or "lady fingers."  For all I know these could be the  same

thing.  And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up anything

for which "feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism.

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, when one of our appliances stops working I will insist

on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as

much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand

while I watch TV.  If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show

looking for it (though one time I was able to survive by holding a

calculator).

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, I don't think we're all that lost, and no, I don't

think we should stop and ask someone.  Why would you listen to a complete

stranger?  I mean, how in the world could he know where we're going?

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about,

especially while driving quietly.  The answer is always either sex or

football, though I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't.

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances

are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't.

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, I think what you're wearing is fine.  I thought what

you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is

fine. With the belt or without it looks fine.  Your hair is fine.  You look

fine.

-------------------------------------------------------

Because I am a man, and this is, after all, 2007, I will share equally

in the housework.  You just do the  laundry, the cooking,  the gardening,

the cleaning, and the dishes.  I'll do all the rest.

-------------------------------------------------------

A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the engine of a car he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his workshop.
The heart surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage,
"Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?"
The heart surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the car.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked,
"So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new.
So how come I make £20,000.00 a year, with overtime and you get the really big money when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The heart surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic...
''Try doing it with the engine running."

A young reporter went to an old peoples home to interview an old but legendary big game hunter.
The reporter asked the old man to tell him the most frightening experience he had ever had.
The old big game hunter said,
"Once I was out hunting man eating tigers in the jungles of India.
I was on a very narrow path and my faithful native gun bearer was behind me.
Suddenly the largest tiger I have ever seen leaped onto the path in front of us.
I turned to get my gun only to find the native gun bearer had fled.
The tiger leapt toward me with a mighty ROARRRR!
I soiled myself."
The reporter said,
"Under those circumstances anyone would have done the same."
The old big game hunter said,
"No no, no, not then - just now when I went ''''ROARRRR!!"

-------------------------

A 97-year-old woman who was very depressed over the recent death of her husband, decided that she could no longer live without him so she decided to kill herself and join him in death.
Thinking that it would be best to do it quickly, she found her husband's old service revolver and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since her heart was already broken anyway.
Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to her relatives, she called her doctor to inquire exactly where the heart would be on a woman.
The doctor said, "The heart is just below the left nipple."
Later that night the widow was admitted to hospital with a gunshot wound to her left knee.




 


A MORAL TALE

 A woman and a man are involved in a car accident; it's a bad one.
Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt.
After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says,
"So you're a man, that's interesting. I'm a woman.
 Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt.
This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be  friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days".
Flattered, the man replied, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely!"
"This  must be a sign from God!"
The woman continued, "and look at this, here's another miracle. My car is  completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break.
Surely God wants  us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.
" Then she hands the  bottle to the man.
The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle and immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"
The woman replies,
"No. I think I'll just wait for the police...."

MAN'S FIVE MOST FEARED QUESTIONS


Man's five most feared questions...........................


1. What are you thinking about?
2. Do you love me?
3. Do I look fat?
4. Do you think she is prettier than me?
5. What would you do if I died?

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to
explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e. tells the truth).

Therefore, as a public service, each question is analysed below along with possible responses.

 Question 1: What are you thinking about?

The proper answer to this, of course, is:
"I'm sorry if I have been a bit pensive darling. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful,
thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you."

This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following:
a. Nothing
b. Football
c. Jennifer Lopez
d. How fat you are
e. How would I spend the insurance money if you died
Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg:
"If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you."
 

Question 2: Do you love me?

The proper response is: "YES" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is necessary:
"Yes, dear."

Inappropriate responses include:
a. Oh yeah, sh*t loads!
b. Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
c. That depends on what you mean by love
d. Does it matter
e. Who, me?

Question 3: Do I look fat?

The correct answer is an emphatic:
"Of course not!!"

Among the incorrect answers are:
a. Compared to what?
b. I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.
c. A little extra weight looks good on you.
d. I've seen fatter.
e. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question 4: Do you think she is prettier than me?

Once again, the proper response is an emphatic:
"Of course not!!"

Incorrect responses include:
a. Yes, but you have a better personality
b. Not prettier, but definitely thinner
c. Not as pretty as you when you were her age
d. Define "pretty"
e. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.


Question 5: What would you do if I died?

A definite no-win question.
(The real answer of course is "Buy a Ferrari and a boat".)

No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along these lines:

WOMAN: Would you get married again?
MAN: Definitely not!

WOMAN: Why not? Don't you like being married?
MAN: Of course I do.

WOMAN: Then why wouldn't you remarry?
MAN: Okay, I'd get married again.

WOMAN: You would? (with a hurt look on her face)
MAN: (makes audible groan)

WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
MAN: Where else would we sleep?

WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures and replace them with pictures of her?
MAN: That would seem the proper thing to do.

WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
MAN: She can't. She's left-handed.

WOMAN: ...silence...
MAN: Sh*t!!

Also, The Things I Have Learned as I've Matured no Matter What Tree I am

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes. 

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. 

I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.  After that, you'd better have a big willy or huge boobs. 

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are probably more screwed up than you think. 

I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you are finished. 

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities or management. 

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place. 

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it. 

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. 

I've learned to say "F--- 'em if they can't take a joke"  in 6 languages.

The Next Time You Think You Are Having a Bad Day

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire.
The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back, flippers, and facemask.
A post-mortem revealed that the person died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries.
Dental records provided a positive identification. 
Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire.
It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the person went for a diving trip off the coast some 20 miles from the forest.
The fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets.
Water was dipped from the ocean and then flown to the forest fire and emptied.
You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next he was doing the breast stroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

STILL THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY?

A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the kitchen.
The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it accidentally slipped into gear.
The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged through the glass patio doors and along with the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house.
The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room and found her husband lying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle lying next to him, and the shattered patio door.
The wife ran to the phone and summoned the ambulance.
Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of stairs to the street to escort the paramedics to her husband.
After the ambulance arrived and transported the man to the hospital, the wife up righted the motorcycle and pushed it outside.
Seeing that petrol was spilled on the floor, the wife got some paper towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet.
The man was treated and released to come home.
Upon arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle.
He became despondent, went to the bathroom, sat down on the toilet and smoked a cigarette.
After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while seated.
The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard the loud explosion and her husband screaming.
She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying on the floor.
His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs, and his groin.
The wife again ran to the phone to call the ambulance.
The very same paramedic crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the street.
The paramedics loaded the husband on to the stretcher and began carrying him to the street.
While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself.
She told them, and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them  slipped and tipped the stretcher dumping the husband out.
He fell down the remaining stairs and broke his arm.

STILL HAVING A BAD DAY?

Just remember, it could be worse...
The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000.
At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers.
A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

-----------------------------

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle.
Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his arm in two places.
Until that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman

-----------------------------------

And finally... .. . . . .
Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb.
It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it.
Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.
Now, your day's not so bad, is it?
