BLOND JOKES OF THE MOMENT
Courtesy of Cliff Cornhall

FINAL EXAM: The blonde reported for her university final examination that consists of yes/no type questions. She takes her seat in the examination hall, stares at the question paper for five minutes and then in a fit of inspiration takes out her purse, removes a coin and starts tossing it, marking the answer sheet: Yes for heads and No for tails. Within half an hour she is all done, whereas the rest of the class is still sweating it out. During the last few minutes she is seen desperately throwing the coin, muttering and sweating. The moderator, alarmed, approaches her and asks what is going on. "I finished the exam in half an hour, but now I'm rechecking my answers."

AUTO REPAIR: A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, "What's the story?" He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor." She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"

Remember...you make the rules. You can't get it wrong. And you'll never be finished. Promise.

LAUGH LINES OF THE MOMENT
Courtesy of World Laughter Tour CLLs

"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been."
- Mark Twain

While attending a party one evening, the jazz singer George Melly was introduced to Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger. "I didn't expect you to have so many wrinkles," Melly remarked. "They're not wrinkles," Jagger declared. "They're laughter lines." "Really," Melly replied. "Surely nothing could be that funny." 

A smile is the best face lift!

SNEAKY ATTORNEY OF THE MOMENT
Courtesy of Ann Champagne

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his deaf bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks. He is concerned, especially since a big plus was it was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.

When the Godfather confronts the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language. The Godfather tells the lawyer "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is."

The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is. The bookkeeper shrugs and signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."

The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."

The Godfather grimaces, pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and orders, "Ask him again!"

The attorney quickly signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"

The nervous bookkeeper gulps and then signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!"

The impatient Godfather demands of the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"

The attorney replied: "He says you don't have the guts to pull the trigger."

HORRIBLE AIRLINE OF THE MOMENT

After the first takeoff of the fully automatic airplane, the passengers heard the soothing, reassuring voice of the pilot: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your automatic pilot. In my modern and carefully tested system an error is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, ..."



OFF THE WALL COMEDIAN OF THE MOMENT
Courtesy of Comedian Steven Wright

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.

How can you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

GAMES OF THE MOMENT

Games for when we are older:

1. Sag, you're It.
2. Hide and go pee.
3. 20 questions shouted into your good ear.
4. Kick the bucket
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says Bend Over.
6. Musical recliners.
7. Simon says something incoherent.
8. Pin the Toupee on the bald guy

MENOPAUSE MOMENTS

1. You sell your home heating system at a yard sale.

2. You have to write post-it notes with your kids' names on them.

3. You change your underwear after a sneeze.

BAD JOB APPLICANT OF THE MOMENT

Employer to applicant: "In this job we need someone who is responsible."

Applicant: "I'm the one you want. On my last job, every time anything went wrong, they said I was responsible."

PARENTING OF THE MOMENT

Kids in the back seat cause accidents; accidents in the back seat cause kids.

If raising children was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!

THOUGHTS TO PONDER FOR A MOMENT
Courtesy of Cookie at www.BoomerSpeakWomen.com 

1. I started out with nothing...I still have most of it.

2. I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.

3. It's not hard to meet expenses...they're everywhere.

4. If all is not lost, where is it?

5. I went to school to become a wit, only got half-way through...

6. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

7. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when your in the bathroom.

8. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

SUMMER REMINDER OF THE MOMENT



WEDDING DRESS OF THE MOMENT
Courtesy of Ann Champagne

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement-- not even her parents' nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new young wife had bought the exact same dress! Jennifer asked her to exchange it, but she refused. "Absolutely not. I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied.

Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, "Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day."

A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, "Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it."

Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding!"

GO THE EXTRA SMILE FOR A MOMENT

If you broke into a grin, please forward this cheerful little "Virtual Moment of Joy" onto your friends, colleagues or co-workers and spread the laughter! Let’s make this a FUN, JOYOUS summer!
