Laugh Out Loud:
ho ho ho!

This one was forwarded by a faithful reader and all for fun...

A nun is sitting with her Mother Superior chatting. "I used some horrible language this week and feel absolutely terrible about it."

"When did you use this awful language?" asks the elder.

"Well, I was golfing and hit an incredible drive that looked like it was going to go over 280 yards, but it struck a phone line that is hanging over the fairway and fell straight down to the ground after going only about 100 yards."

"Is that when you swore?"

"No, Mother," says the nun. "After that, a squirrel ran out of the bushes and grabbed my ball in its mouth and began to run away."

"Is that when you swore?" asks the Mother Superior again.

"Well, no." says the nun. "You see, as the  squirrel was running, an eagle came down out of the sky, grabbed the squirrel in his talons and began to fly away!"

"Is THAT when you swore?" asks the amazed elder nun.

"No, not yet. As the eagle carried the squirrel away in its claws, it flew near the green and the squirrel dropped my ball."

"Did you swear THEN?" asked Mother Superior, becoming impatient.

"No, because the ball fell on a big rock, bounced over the sand trap,
rolled onto the green, and stopped about six inches from the hole."

The two nuns were silent for a moment.

Then Mother Superior sighed and said, "You missed the f#cking putt, didn't you?"

One morning a woman and her baby were taking public transportation.  
As she entered the bus the driver said, "Wow! That is one ugly baby."  
The woman, deeply hurt, just continued onto the bus and found a seat next to an elderly man.  
The man asked, "What's wrong, you look mad?"  
She replied, "I am." "That bus driver just insulted me."  
"You shouldn't take that from him," the man replied. "He's a public worker and should give you respect.  
If I were you, I would take down his badge number and report him."  
"You're right sir, I think I will report him," she said. The elderly man said,  
"You go on up there and get his badge number and I'll hold your monkey for you."

Lottery  by  Torres, Olga 

A guy gets home, runs into his house, slams the door and says, Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!" 
The wife says, "Wow! That's great! I'm so happy! Should I pack  for the ocean, or should I pack for the mountains?" 
He says, "I don't care. Just get out!"

Female Brain vs. The Male Brain
From the Gang at the Pentagon!!!  

One day in heaven, the Lord decided he would visit the earth and take a stroll.  
    
Walking down the road, the Lord encountered a man who was crying.  The Lord  asked the man, "Why are you crying, my son?"  The man said that he was blind and had never seen a sunset.  
  
The Lord touched the man...he could see, and he was happy. 
   
As the Lord walked further, he met another man crying and asked, "Why are  you crying, my son?"  The man was born a cripple and was never able to walk.   

The Lord touched him, he was able to walk,  and he was happy.  
   
Farther down the road, the Lord met another man who was crying and asked,  "Why are you crying, my son?"  The man said, "Lord, I work for the Government,"  
    
The Lord sat down and cried with him. 

RODNEY DANGERFIELD'S BEST ONE-LINERS 

I was so poor growing up...If I wasn't born a boy..I'd have nothing to play with. 

A girl phoned me the other day and said ...."Come on over, there's nobody home."  I went over. Nobody was home. 

If it weren't for pickpockets,  I'd have no sex life at all. 

During sex my girlfriend always wants to talk to me.  Just the other night she called me from a hotel. 

One day as I came home early from work ... I saw a guy jogging naked. I said to the guy, "Hey buddy, why are you doing that?" 
He said, "Because you came home early." 

Its been a rough day. I got up this morning, put on a shirt and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase and the handle came off. 
I'm afraid to go to the bathroom. 

I was such an ugly kid...When I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up. 

I could tell that my parents hated me.  My bath toys were a toaster and a radio. 

I was such an ugly baby...My mother never breast fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend. 

I'm so ugly...My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet. 

When I was born .... the doctor came out to the waiting room and 
said  to  my father, "I'm very sorry.  We did everything we could... But he pulled through." 

I'm so ugly ... My mother had morning sickness - after I was born. 

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father.  He said he wanted more proof. 

Once when I was lost..... I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him .... "Do you think we'll ever find them?" 
He said, "I don't know kid ... there are so many places they can hide." 

My wife made me join a bridge club.  I jump off next Tuesday. 

I'm so ugly...I worked in a pet shop and people kept asking how big I'd get. 

I went to see my doctor  "Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror... I feel like throwing up.   What's wrong with me?" he said..."I don't  know but your eyesight is perfect." 

I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.
