There was once a Scotsman and an Englishman who lived next door to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen and each morning would look in his garden and pick up one of his hen's eggs for breakfast. One day he looked outside and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the Englishman's garden. He was about to go next door when he saw the Englishman pick up the egg. The Scotsman ran up to the Englishman and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Englishman disagreed because the egg was laid on his property. They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, "In my family we normally solve disputes by the following actions: I punch you in the nose and note how long it takes you to recover, then you punch me in the nose and note how long it takes for me to recover, whomever recovers quicker wins the egg." The Englishman agreed to this and so the Scotsman held the heaviest object he could find, took a few steps back, then ran toward the Englishman and punched him as hard as he could in the nose. The Englishman fell to the ground and was howling in agony and holding his nose for thirty minutes. Eventually the Englishman stood up and said, "Now it's my turn to punch you." The Scotsman said, "Keep the lousy egg."
The teacher of the Earth Science class was lecturing on map reading. He spent the class explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees, and minutes. Towards the end of class, the teacher asked his students, "Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude..." A student's voice broke the confused silence, and volunteered, "I guess you'd be eating alone, sir."
A woman goes to her boyfriend's parents' house for dinner. This is her first time meeting the family and she is very nervous. They all sit down and begin eating a fine meal. The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making her eyes water. Left with no other choice, she decides to relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty little fart. It wasn't loud, but everyone at the table heard the poot. Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend's father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing at the women's feet, and said in a rather stern voice, "Ginger!" The woman thought, "This is great!" and a big smile came across her face. A couple minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again. This time, she didn't hesitate. She let a much louder and longer fart rip. The father again looked at the dog and yelled, "Dammit, Ginger!" Once again the woman smiled and thought, "Yes!" A few minutes later the woman had to let another one rip. This time she didn't even think about it. She let rip a fart that rivaled a train whistle blowing. Again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled, "Dammit, Ginger, get away from her before she shits on you!"

A guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender if he will give him a free beer if he shows him something amazing. The bartender agrees, so the guys pulls out a hamster, who begins dancing and singing "Tuff Enuff" by the Fabulous Thunderbirds. "That IS amazing!" says the bartender and gives the guy his free beer. "If I show you something else amazing, will you give me another beer?" The bartender agrees, so the guy pulls out a small piano and a hamster and a frog. Now the hamster plays the piano while the frog dances and sings "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. The bartender, completely wowed, gives him another beer. A man in a suit, who's been watching the entire time, offers to buy the frog for a princely sum, which the man agrees to. "Are you nuts?" asks the bartender. "You could've made a fortune off that frog." "Can you keep a secret?" asks the man. "The hamster's a ventriloquist."

Job search My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned ... couldn`t concentrate. Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn`t hack it … so they gave me the axe. After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn`t suited for it … mainly because it was a so-so job. Next I tried working in a Quick Fit Centre, but that was exhausting. I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn`t cut it. Then I tried to be a chef, figured it would add spice to my life, but I just didn`t have the thyme. Finally, I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn`t cut the mustard. My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn`t noteworthy. I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn`t have any patients. Next was a job in a shoe factory, I tried but I just didn`t fit in. I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn`t live on my net income. Thought about becoming a witch, so I tried that for a spell. I managed to get a job working for a swimming pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining. I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes, but I was fired because I wasn`t up to it. So then I got a job in a gymnasium, but they said I wasn`t fit for the job. Next, I found being an electrician interesting, but the work was shocking. After years of trying to find work, I finally got a job as an historian, until I realised there was no future in it. My last job was working at Starbucks Coffee, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind. SO I RETIRED, AND I FOUND I AM A PERFECT FIT FOR THE JOB!

Tom, Dick and Harry were traveling in the desert. Arriving at a small village they could find nowhere to sleep but a strange inn whose landlord, though willing to take them in for the night, would offer only a bed of fire, a bed of nails, and a bed of fleas. In the morning, they compared notes over breakfast. The bed of fire was awful, said Tom. "Very uncomfortable. I didn`t sleep a wink, and I`m scorched all over. "I had a bad night, too, said Dick. "That bed of nails was dreadful. I`m covered with holes. "I slept fine, declared Harry. "My bed of fleas was no trouble at all. I just killed one flea and all the rest went to the funeral!.

One day, a minister decided that he would visit some members of his congregation at their homes to encourage them and find out how they were doing. After having already visited several members, he arrived at the door of a poor, elderly widow. He rang. She answered, and let him in. He was ushered into the living room where he and the widow sat down and began a casual conversation. After a few minutes into his conversation, he noticed a candy dish, full of peanuts, on the coffee table. Under ordinary circumstances, he would not have asked the question, but it was almost noon, and he hadn't eaten anything since his early breakfast and he was beginning to feel quite hungry. So, he asked the widow, "do you mind if I have some of these nuts?" "Help yourself," she replied. So, he did. Well, they continued chatting, when the minister realized that he had finished all the peanuts in the dish. He felt quite embarrassed for having gotten so carried away in his conversation, that he didn't even think to leave some in the dish for her. So, shamefully, he said to her, "I'm really sorry. It seems that I've eaten all your peanuts - I didn't mean to finish them all. Please forgive me." The poor, elderly widow casually waved her hand at him and said, "Oh, that's quite all right. Since I don't have any teeth, all I can do is suck the chocolate off them anyway!"

"I mean, are you prepared spiritually?" "Oh, sure," came the reply. "I've got a keg of beer and a case of whiskey."

"Don't be loud," said another, and so on... "And what rule do your parents give you before you go out to eat?" the priest inquired of one little boy. Without batting an eye, the child replied, "Order something cheap."
