Things Go Better With Joke

 

Forethought

Four old-timers were playing their weekly game of golf. One remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without an argument go directly to the golf course, meet his buddies and play a round.

His mates all chimed in and said, "let's do it. We'll make it a priority - figure out a way and meet here early, Christmas morning."

Months later, that special morning arrives, and there they are on the golf course.

The first guy says," Boy this game cost me a fortune! I bought my wife a diamond ring that she can't take her eyes off."

The second guy says, "I spent a ton too. My wife is at home planning the cruise I gave her. She was up to her eyeballs in brochures."

The third guy says,

"Well my wife is a home admiring her new car, reading the manual."

They all turned to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds.

" I can't believe you all went to such expense for this golf game. I slapped my wife on the bum and said, Well babe, Merry Christmas! It's a great morning - golf course or intercourse?".

She said,

"Don't forget your hat."

Covid Jokes Going Viral

Since we’re all in quarantine I guess we’ll be making only inside jokes from now on.

Quarantine has really put a damper on comedy. For months nobody has walked into a bar.

Why did the chicken cross the road?  Because the chicken behind it didn’t know how to socially distance properly.

How do you socially distance while around family? A high-fiber diet.

Two grandmothers were bragging about their precious darlings. One of them says to the other, “Mine are so good at social distancing, they won’t even call me.”

If I keep stress-eating at this level, the buttons on my shirt will start socially distancing from each other.

Knock knock. Who is there? Seriously, don’t touch my door and get back 6 meters to social distance.

Who’s idea was it to sing “Happy Birthday” while washing your hands? Now every time I go to the bathroom, my kids expect me to walk out with a cake.

My husband purchased a world map and then gave me a dart and said, “Throw this and wherever it lands—that’s where I’m taking you when this pandemic ends.” Turns out, we’re spending two weeks behind the fridge.

Ran out of toilet paper and started using lettuce leaves. Today was just the tip of the iceberg, tomorrow romaines to be seen.

My mom always told me I wouldn’t accomplish anything by lying in bed all day. But look at me now, ma! I’m saving the world!

After years of wanting to thoroughly clean my house but lacking the time, this week I discovered that wasn’t the reason.

Every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.

Being quarantined with a talkative child is like having an insane parrot glued to your shoulder

I never thought the comment “I wouldn’t touch them with a six-foot pole” would become a national policy, but here we are!

I’m not talking to myself, I’m having a parent-teacher conference.

This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came into my house, told my dog — we laughed a lot.

Nothing like relaxing on the couch after a long day of being tense on the couch

Day 121 at home and the dog is looking at me like, “See? This is why I chew the furniture!”

If you bought 144 rolls of toilet paper in preparation for a 14-day quarantine, you probably should have been seeing a doctor long before coronavirus.

How did the health experts lie? They said a mask and gloves was enough to go to the grocery store. When I got there, everyone else had clothes on.

Quarantine has really put a damper on comedy. For months nobody has walked into a bar.

Did you hear about the guy speculating on hand sanitizer? He was rubbing his hands together.

I thought you had to wear a mask when entering businesses. They kept yelling at me to put on some pants.

I’ve gained so much weight during lockdown my bathroom scale is telling me that it can only weigh one person at a time.

Devious Dad

An old man in Canberra calls up his son in Perth and says, "Listen, your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.

“We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,” he says. "I'm sick of her face, and I'm sick of talking about this, so call your sister in Auckland and tell her," and he hangs up.

Now, the son is worried. So he calls up his sister. She says, "Like hell they’re getting divorced!" and calls her father immediately. "You’re not getting divorced! Don't do another thing, the two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk about this. Until then, don't call a lawyer, don't file a paper, DO YOU HEAR ME?” and she hangs up.

The old man turns to his wife and says "Okay, they’re coming for Christmas and paying their own airfares."

Cop Cops It

 An elderly woman was running late for an appointment.

Travelling at 50km/h on a street where the speed limit was 40, a cop pulled her over and said, “Ma’am, can I please see your licence?”

She replied, “I’m sorry, officer, it was revoked two years ago for drink driving.”

His brow furrowed and he straightened up. “Well, can I please see the registration of your car?”

She said, “I stole the car and I killed the driver; he’s in the boot.”

“Ma’am, DON’T MOVE, I’m calling for back-up.” He muttered furiously into his walkie-talkie.

Five minutes later, half the local squad pulls up and the chief of police walks over to the woman’s window.

“Ma’am, can I see your licence?” he asks sternly.

“Of course, officer,” she smiles demurely and pulls out her licence from her purse.

He squints warily at it. “This looks legitimate,” he mumbles.

“Can I see the registration to this car?” She pulls it out of the glove compartment and hands it to him.

“Ma’am, stand back!” He bangs open the trunk of the car and flinches, but it was completely empty.

The woman brandishes a finger at the first cop and says accusingly, “And I’ll bet that liar told you I was speeding too!!”

The Grieving Widow

A sobbing woman approaches her priest after Mass.

He says: "So what's bothering you?"

She replies: "Oh, Father, I've terrible news. My husband passed away last night."

The priest says: "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Did he have any last requests?"

"Certainly father," she replied. "He said: "Please Mary, put down that damn gun."

An Old Blind Cowboy Wanders Into An All-Girl Biker Bar By Mistake...

He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.

After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?'

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.

In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

1) The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.

2) The bouncer is a blonde girl with a 'Billy-Club'.

3) I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

4) The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.

5) The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

'Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy.... Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?'

The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times............'

The Senility Prayer

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Choosing a wife

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new makeup; buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much..

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

Then he married the one with the biggest breasts.

Men are like that, you know.

 

Monstered By Nessie

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air, then opened its mouth to swallow both.

As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out: “Oh, my God! Help me!”

At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place. As the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds: “I thought you didn’t believe in Me!”

“Come on God, give me a break!” the man pleaded. “Two minutes ago, I didn’t believe in the Loch Ness monster either!

The Lecture

A man was stopped by the police at midnight and asked where he was going.

“I’m on the way to listen to a lecture about the effects of alcohol and drug abuse on the human body.”

The policeman asked, “Really? And who’s going to give a lecture at this time of night?”

“My wife”, he replied.

Counter-Offer

After being married for 44 years, a man took a careful look at his wife one day and said,

"44 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white tv, but i got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old girl".

"Now i have a $1,500,000.00 home, a $100,000 car, nice big bed and plasma screen tv, but i'm sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."

His wife was a very reasonable woman...

She told him to go out and find a hot 25-year-old girl and she would make sure that he would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white tv.

Age, And The Ages of Man

  • The Seven Ages of Man: spills, drills, thrills, bills, ills, pills and wills.
  • A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
  • Few women admit their age; few men act it.
  • It's easier to remember your age if you don't change it every year.
  • I believe in loyalty. When a woman reaches an age she likes, she should stick with it.
  • I tried to explain to my 4-year-old great-grandson that it's perfectly normal to accidentally wet your pants, but he's still making fun of me.
  • Our age is one where work is a lot less fun, and fun a lot more work.
  • It takes me all night to do what I used to do all night.
  • I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.
  • I've reached the age where looking in the mirror is like checking the news. I just know there'll be some new developments I won't like.
  • The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
  • I always wanted to marry an Archeologist. The older I would get, the more interested she would become!
  • Retirement kills more people than hard work ever did.
  • I don't care what you think you're good at, there's a 7-year-old kid on YouTube doing it better.
  • As I get older and remember all the people I've lost along the way. I think to myself maybe I should have given up my career as a tour guide.
  • When I was young I did stupid things because I didn't know any better. Now I know better and do stupid things because I miss being young.
  • Somewhere an elderly lady reads a book on how to use the internet, while a young boy Googles "how to read a book".
  • don't mess with old people, life imprisonment is not that much of a deterrent anymore.
  • thought I was just really tired but it's been 5 years so I guess this is how I look now.

Quick Thinking Mk. 1

An elderly farmer in Florida had a large pond down by his fruit orchard. One evening he decided to go down to the pond and took a five-gallon bucket to pick some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard female voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in the pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave!'

The old man thought for a second and said, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim or to make you get out of the pond naked.'

Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the alligator!'

The Moral of the story? Older men can still think quickly when they have the motivation.

Quick Thinking Mk. 2

An elderly fisherman was having a successful day of fishing without a liscense when the ranger came up, saw a bucket full of nice trout, and asked to see his fishing liscense.

"Oh, I'm not fishing sir, these are my pet fish. I'm just bringing them out for some exercise."

""Exercise?" the ranger said skeptically.

"Sure, I bring them down to the creek, let them out for a little swim, then they come back and jump in the bucket and we go home."

"Hmm, can you show me"

"Sure" said the fisherman as he dumped the fish into the creek. A few minutes later the ranger said

"OK, let's see your fish jump back in the bucket"

"What fish?" asked our fisherman.

Pirates Jokes Getting Cornea

A pirate walked into a tavern, and the bartender said;

“Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."


The pirate answered;

“What do you mean? I feel fine.”


The bartender said;

"What about the wooden leg? You didn’t have that before.”

“Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I’m fine now.”


“Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?”

“We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I’m fine, really.”

“What about that eye patch?”

“Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. One of them pooped in my eye.”

“You’re kidding,’ said the bartender, “surely you wouldn’t lose an eye just from a little bird poop.?”

“It was my first day with the hook”, explained the pirate.

A Rose By Any Other Name

Two older couples had just finished dinner, and the women headed for the kitchen while the men chatted by the fire.

One man said “We went to a really nice restaurant last night.”

“Which one?” asked the other.

The first man thought for a while, then said “What’s the name of those flowers that men always give to women?”

The other man rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said “Carnations?”

The first man frowned and shook his head. “No, they’re red and have thorns.”

The other man concentrated for a long time and finally said “Roses?”

The first man’s face lit up, and he called out toward the kitchen “Hey Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”

A Problem With Deafness

Bert feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.'

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.' Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

No response.

So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?'

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again, he gets no response.

So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. 'Peg, what's for dinner?'

'Bert, for the FIFTH bloody time, CHICKEN!'

 

Pill Popper

A row of bottles on my shelf

Caused me to analyze myself.

One yellow pill I have to pop

Goes to my heart so it won't stop.

A little white one that I take

Goes to my hands so they won't shake.

The blue ones that I use a lot

Tell me I'm happy when I'm not.

The purple pill goes to my brain

And tells me that I have no pain.

The capsules tell me not to wheeze

Or cough or choke or even sneeze.

The red ones, smallest of them all

Go to my blood so I won't fall.

The orange ones, very big and bright

Prevent my leg cramps in the night.

Such an array of brilliant pills

Helping to cure all kinds of ills.

But what I'd really like to know... 

Is what tells each one where to go!

 

Wine Lover

Sitting on the patio with her husband, a lady was quietly sipping on a glass of wine.

"I love you very much," she said, "I don't know how I could live without you."

Making a joke, the husband asked "Is that you, or the wine talking?"

She replied, "It's me... talking to the wine."

 

Get Right Through The Night

A local winery has created a new variety of wine for the Seniors market, by crossing Pinot Blanc with Pinot Grigot.

In a wonderful benefit for our aging population,, it reduces the number of times people need to get up to pee during the night.

In a stroke of Marketing genius, it will be sold in retirement homes and Seniors Clubs around the country, as Pinot More!

 

Scotch With Two Drops of Water

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water.

As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today."

The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me."

As the lady finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink, too."

The ladyold woman replies, "Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water."

"Coming up," says the bartender.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, "I would like to buy you one, too."

The lady says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water."

"Coming right up," the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink, he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The lady smiles, and replies, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue."

Priorities

It was the AFL Grand Final. The MCG was packed. Amongst the 100,000-odd fans, a man sat quietly, with an empty seat to his right.

Another man wandered down, and asked "Is anyone using that seat"

"No, you're welcome to sit here."

"How is it that the seat is empty"

"My wife and I used to come to the game every year. It was an important occasion for us all these years. She passed away recently- it's the first time I've been here without her."

"But wasn't there anyne else who could come with you A brother A sister? Kids? Cousins? Friends?"

"No, there wasn't anyone. They're all at the funeral."

"Well, I simply set all my passwords to 'Incorrect' so that whenever I'm told that my password is incorrect, I'll remember it!

 

The Elder Golf Game

"How was your golf game, dear?" asked a wife...

"Well, I was hitting pretty well, but my eyesight's gotten so
bad I couldn't see where the ball went."

"But you're seventy-five years old, Jack!" admonished his wife,
"Why don't you take my brother Scott along?"

"But he's eighty-five and doesn't even play golf anymore,"
protested Jack.

"But he's got perfect eyesight. He could watch your ball," Tracy
pointed out.

The next day Jack teed off with Scott looking on. Jack swung,
and the ball disappeared down the middle of the fairway.

"Do you see it?" asked Jack.

"Yup," Scott answered.

"Well, where is it?" yelled Jack, peering off into the distance.

"I forget."

 

Doctor's Advice

William's wife started noticing how forgetful he was becoming.

Being the concerned wife, she convinced him to see a doctor.
William was a little worried when the doctor came in. Sensing
his patient's nervousness, the first thing the doctor did was to
ask what was troubling him.

"Well," William answered. "I seem to be getting forgetful. I'm
never sure I can remember where I put the car, or whether I
answered a letter, or where I'm going, or what it is I'm going
to do once I get there, if I get there. So, I really need your
help. What can I do?"

The doctor thought for a moment, then answered in his kindest
tone, "Please pay me in advance."

 

Doctor's Advice II

During the last visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you
determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old
age home?"

"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the
bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the
bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No" replied the Doc. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do
you want a bed near a window?"
