    A sheriff walks into a saloon and shouts for everyone's attention. "Has anyone seen Brown Paper Jake?" he asks.

    "What's he look like?" asks one shoddy-looking cowboy.

    "Well", replies the Sheriff, "he wears a brown paper hat, a brown paper waistcoat, a brown paper shirt, brown paper boots, brown paper pants, and a brown paper jacket."

    "So what's he wanted for?" asks the same cowboy.

    "Rustlin'."

    Lost

    Five year old Little Johnny was lost, so he went up to a policeman and said, "I've lost my dad!"

    The policeman said, "What's he like?"

    Little Johnny replied, "Beer and women."

    Great Answering Machine Messages
    These are supposedly actual answering machine announcements.

    1. Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets.

    2. A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're not here. So, leave a message.

    3. Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my financial aid institution, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have plenty of money.

    4. Hi. Now you say something.

    5. Hi, I'm not home right now, but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. Wait for the beep.

    6. Hello. I am David's answering machine. What are you?

    7. Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon. If you leave a "sexy" message, I'll call sooner!

    8. Hi, this is George. I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now. Leave a message and then wait by your phone until I call you back.

    9. Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding, windows or a hot tub, and their carpets are clean. They give to charity through their office and do not need their picture taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and number and they will get back to you.

    10. This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic thought recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your number and your reason for calling, and I'll think about returning your call.

    11. Hi. I'm probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you.

    12. If you are a burglar, then we're probably at home cleaning our weapons right now and can't come to the phone. Otherwise, we probably aren't home and it's safe to leave a message.

    Not too long ago a large seminar was held for ministers in training. Among the speakers were many well known motivational speakers. One such boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering the entire crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman that wasn't my wife!" The crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, "And that woman was my mother!" The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which went over well.
    About a week later one of the ministers who had attended the seminar decided to use that joke in his sermon. As he shyly approached the pulpit one sunny Sunday, he tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It seemed a bit foggy to him this morning. Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of another woman that was not my wife!" His congregation sat shocked. After standing there for almost 10 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor finally blurted out, "...and I can't remember who she was

    The Blind Date

    After being with her all evening, the man couldn't stand another minute with his blind date.

    Earlier, he had secretly arranged to have a friend call him on the phone an hour into the evening so he would have an excuse to leave if something like this happened.

    When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim statement and said, "I have some bad news. My grand- father has just died."

    "Thank God," his date said. "If yours hadn't, mine would've had to."

    Don't Talk to the Bird

    Mrs. Smith's dishwasher quit working, so she called a repairman.

    He couldn't get to her house until the next day, so she told him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check. By the way, don't worry about my Rottweiler. Brutus won't bother you, but, whatever you do, do not under any circumstances talk to my parrot!"

    When the repairman arrived the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Rottweiler he had ever seen.

    But, just as Mrs. Smith had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business.

    However, the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant squawking and talking. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid bird!"

    To which the parrot responded, "Get him, Brutus!

    Martha's Household Tips vs. Reality


    Martha's way #1: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

    The Real Women's Way: Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake; you're probably lying on the couch, with your feet up, eating it anyway.

    Martha's way #2: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

    The Real Women's Way: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

    Martha's way #3: When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

    The Real Women's Way: Go to the bakery. They'll even decorate it for you.

    Martha's way #4: If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix me up."

    The Real Women's Way: If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too damn bad. Please recite with me, The Real Women's motto: I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes.

    Martha's way #5: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

    The Real Women's Way: Celery? Never heard of the stuff.

    Martha's way #6: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

    The Real Women's Way: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I just don't do it.

    Martha's way #7: Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

    The Real Women's Way: Martha, dear, the only reason this works is because you can't rub a lime on your forehead without getting lime juice in your eye, and then the problem isn't the headache anymore, YOU'RE NOW HALF BLIND!

    Martha's way #8: Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle and you'll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.

    The Real Women's Way: Buy the precooked kind you nuke in the microwave for 30 seconds. The hard part is getting them out of the plastic bag.

    Martha's way #9: If you have a problem opening jars: Try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

    The Real Women's Way: Go ask that very cute neighbor to do it.

    Martha's way #10: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

    The Real Women's Way: Leftover wineo_O??

    What A Checkup
    An old couple go to the doctor for their yearly physicals. One-at-a time the doctor brings them into the examination room, starting with the husband. "Well, Mr. Smith, you're in great shape for a man your age," says the doctor. The man replies, "Well doc, I don't drink, I don't smoke, and the good Lord looks out for me."

    "What do you mean?" asks the doctor. The old man replied, "For instance, last night in the middle of the night, I had to get up to go to the bathroom -- and the good Lord turned on the light for me so I wouldn't fall down." And when I left, the good Lord turned the light out for me”

    "That's nice," said the confused doctor. "Please send your wife in now, please." The wife comes in and the doc says, "Your husband is in great shape, but I think he is starting to have some delusions”

    “What are you talking about?” says the wife.

    Your husband was just telling me that he had to get up to go to the bathroom -- and the good Lord turned on the light for him so he wouldn't fall down." And when I left, the good Lord turned the light off for him.

    "Oh, She smiled," she said, "I guess that explains who’s been peeing in the fridge.
