The basketball<br />

coach storms into<br />

the university president’s<br />

office and<br />

demands an immediate<br />

raise.<br />

The president says,<br />

“But you already<br />

make more than<br />

anyone else in our<br />

entire athletic<br />

department.”<br />

The coach says angrily,<br />

“Maybe so, but<br />

you don’t know what<br />

I have to put up with<br />

every single day.<br />

Watch this...”<br />

With that the coach<br />

goes into the hall<br />

and grabs one of the<br />

basketball players<br />

who is jogging down<br />

the hallway.<br />

He said to him, “Run<br />

over to my office and<br />

see if I’m there.”<br />

The basketball player<br />

said to the coach,<br />

“You’re not there,<br />

sir.”<br />

The president<br />

scratches his head<br />

as he says, “Oh, I<br />

see what you mean.<br />

I would have phoned<br />

and not run.”<br />

In Mourning<br />

Submitted by Tyla Davis<br />

A man placed some<br />

flowers on the grave<br />

of his dearly departed<br />

mother and<br />

started back toward<br />

his car.<br />

His attention was<br />

diverted to another<br />

man kneeling at<br />

a grave. The man<br />

seemed to be praying<br />

with profound<br />

intensity.<br />

The man kept<br />

repeating, “Why did<br />

you have to die?<br />

Why did you have to<br />

die?”<br />

The first man approached<br />

him and<br />

said, “Sir, I don’t<br />

wish to intrude on<br />

your private grief,<br />

but this demonstration<br />

of pain is more<br />

A man buys a Powerball<br />

ticket and wins<br />

the lottery. He goes<br />

to claim his money<br />

and the clerk verifies<br />

his winning number.<br />

The man says, “Here<br />

is my ticket. I would<br />

like my $524 million,<br />

please.”<br />

The clerk replied,<br />

“No, sir. It doesn’t<br />

work that way. We<br />

give you the first<br />

million dollars today<br />

and then you’ll get<br />

the rest spread out<br />

over the next 19<br />

years.”<br />

The man, annoyed,<br />

says, “Oh, no. I want<br />

all my money right<br />

now! I won it, and I<br />

want it.”<br />

Again the clerk patiently<br />

explains that<br />

he would only get<br />

one million dollars<br />

that day and the<br />

rest over the next 19<br />

years.<br />

The man, furious<br />

with the clerk,<br />

screams out, “I<br />

WANT MY MONEY!<br />

If you’re not going<br />

to give me my $524<br />

million right now,<br />

then you’d better go<br />

right into that cash<br />

register and refund<br />

me the $2 that it cost<br />

me to buy the ticket<br />

in the first place!”<br />

bag. He ran into one<br />

some fish in the bag.<br />

His friend says,<br />

“Well, I’ll make you<br />

a bet. If I can guess<br />

how many fish you<br />

have in the bag,<br />

you’ll have to give<br />

me one.”<br />

The man replied, “I’ll<br />

tell me how many<br />

fish I have in this<br />

bag, I’ll give you both<br />

of them.”<br />

Early the first<br />

morning, one hunter<br />

decided to go looking<br />

for bear while<br />

the other stayed in<br />

camp and got things<br />

organized.<br />

Soon, the first hunter<br />

spotted a great big<br />

grizzly, and took his<br />

shot, but he only<br />

wounded the bear.<br />

Enraged, the bear<br />

charged after the<br />

hunter, who threw<br />

down his rifle and<br />

started running for<br />

the safety of the cabin.<br />

He was running<br />

as fast as he could,<br />

but the bear was<br />

gaining on him.<br />

Just as he was<br />

reaching the cabin,<br />

he stumbled and fell.<br />

The bear was so<br />

close now that he<br />

couldn’t stop. The<br />

bear tripped over<br />

the fallen hunter and<br />

tumbled through the<br />

cabin door.<br />

Jumping to his feet,<br />

the first hunter quickly<br />

closed the cabin<br />

door and yelled,“You<br />

skin this one and I’ll<br />

go find another!”<br />

Pearly<br />

Gates<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

St. Peter is checking<br />

ID’s at the Pearly<br />

Gates. The first to<br />

arrive that day was a<br />

Texan.<br />

“Tell me, what have<br />

you done in life,” says<br />

St. Peter.<br />

The Texan replied,<br />

“Well, I struck oil, so I<br />

became rich. I divided<br />

all my money among<br />

my entire family in my<br />

will. Our descendants<br />

are all set for about<br />

three generations.”<br />

St. Peter says, “That’s<br />

quite something. The<br />

next person can come<br />

on through!”<br />

The second guy in<br />

line has been listening,<br />

so he says,<br />

“I struck it big in the<br />

stock market, but I<br />

didn’t selfishly just<br />

provide for my own<br />

like that Texan. I<br />

donated five million to<br />

Make-A-Wish Maine.”<br />

“Wonderful!” says<br />

Saint Peter. “Who’s<br />

next?”<br />

My ATM offers a service where I can buy tickets for an Elvis tribute show.<br />

Press 1 for the money, 2 for the show.<br />

dollars in my<br />

“Heavens!” says St.<br />

What’s for<br />

Dinner?<br />

Submitted by<br />

Steve Simard<br />

Jimbo thinks his<br />

wife, Sue, is losing<br />

her hearing so he<br />

calls their doctor.<br />

The doctor tells<br />

Jimbo, “We need to<br />

figure out how bad<br />

her hearing is. Using<br />

a normal tone, talk<br />

to her at various<br />

distances until she<br />

can hear you. Once<br />

we have a better<br />

idea of how far her<br />

hearing range is, we<br />

can come up with<br />

treatment options.”<br />

That night Jimbo<br />

decides to try this.<br />

He estimates he<br />

is sitting about 30<br />

feet from Sue and<br />

asks her, “What’s for<br />

dinner?”<br />

L to R: Mark Turner, Jason Carrier, and Jon Mercier<br />

He hears nothing<br />

so he moves a little<br />

closer, about 20 feet<br />

away.<br />

He asks her again,<br />

“What’s for dinner?”<br />

Still nothing.<br />

Finally, he gets right<br />

next to her and asks,<br />

“What’s for dinner?”<br />

Sue’s face got really<br />

angry and she spun<br />

around to face Jimbo,<br />

slammed down<br />

the pan, and yelled,<br />

“For the third time,<br />

chicken!”<br />

You haven’t experienced true heartbreak until you’ve been thinking<br />

about leftovers all day and come home to find that someone’s eaten them.<br />

Keith invites his<br />

friend Bob to go fishing<br />

out on his boat.<br />

Keith rows out to the<br />

center of the lake.<br />

He opens his tackle<br />

box, pulls out a stick<br />

of dynamite, lights it,<br />

and throws it<br />

overboard.<br />

Bob exclaims, “What<br />

are you doing? You<br />

can’t do that, it’s<br />

illegal.”<br />

Keith calmly lights<br />

another stick, hands<br />

it to Bob, and says,<br />

“How many wives<br />

An 8 year old girl<br />

went to the office<br />

with her father on<br />

‘Take your daughter<br />

to work Day’.<br />

As they walked<br />

round the office she<br />

started crying and<br />

getting cranky. Her<br />

father asked what<br />

was wrong.<br />

As the staff gathered<br />

around she sobbed<br />

loudly, “Daddy,<br />

where are all the<br />

clowns you said you<br />

worked with?”<br />

Interview<br />

Submitted by Tyla Davis<br />

Stephanie was interviewing<br />

with Jimbo<br />

for her job at <strong>Uncle</strong><br />

Andy’s <strong>Digest</strong>.<br />

Reaching the end of<br />

a job interview, Jimbo<br />

asked Stephanie,<br />

“And what starting<br />

salary are you looking<br />

for?”<br />

Stephanie replied,<br />

“In the region of<br />

$125,000 a year,<br />

depending on the<br />

benefits package.”<br />

Jimbo thought about<br />

it for a second and<br />

replied, “Well, what<br />

would you say to<br />

a package of ten<br />

weeks vacation, 18<br />

paid holidays, full<br />

medical and dental,<br />

company matching<br />

retirement fund to<br />

50% of salary, and a<br />

company car leased<br />

every two years; say,<br />

a red Corvette?”<br />

Stephanie sat up<br />

straight and exclaimed,<br />

“Wow! Are<br />

you kidding?”<br />

Jimbo answered,<br />

“Yeah, but you<br />

started it.”<br />

Tyla and her lawyer<br />

are on a plane<br />

together. The pilot<br />

comes on the speaker<br />

and announces<br />

that the flight will<br />

take up to 16 hours.<br />

The lawyer turns<br />

to Tyla and says,<br />

“Okay, I have a<br />

game we can play<br />

while we pass the<br />

time. You ask me<br />

any question, and if<br />

I can’t answer it, I’ll<br />

give you $50. Then,<br />

I get to ask you a<br />

question, any question,<br />

and if you can’t<br />

answer it, you give<br />

me $5.”<br />

Tyla says, “Okay,<br />

what has four legs<br />

going up a hill, and<br />

three legs at the<br />

bottom?”<br />

The lawyer thinks<br />

for a moment, then<br />

hands her $50 and<br />

says, “Wow, that was<br />

what does have four<br />

legs going up a hill<br />

The Boss<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

A man died and went<br />

up to heaven. Upon<br />

arriving he noticed<br />

two signs. One sign<br />

said “Men Who Are<br />

Bossed By Their<br />

Wives.” The other<br />

one said, “Men Not<br />

Bossed By Their<br />

Wives.”<br />

Upon closer inspection<br />

he noticed that<br />

while next to the first<br />

sign was a big line,<br />

by the second sign<br />

there was just one<br />

man. After getting<br />

even closer he realized<br />

it was his friend,<br />

Harry.<br />

“Hey Harry,” the man<br />

said, “what in the<br />

world are you doing<br />

here? Your wife<br />

bosses you around<br />

more then anybody.”<br />

“I don’t know,” Harry<br />

replied “my wife told<br />

me to stand here.”<br />

After an explosion at a local cheese factory, the only thing that was left was de Brie…<br />

Steve was playing so<br />

badly that his caddie<br />

was getting increasingly<br />

exasperated.<br />

On the 11th hole, his<br />

ball lay about 160<br />

yards from the green.<br />

As he eyed up the<br />

shot, he asked his<br />

caddie, “Do you think<br />

I can get there with a<br />

4 iron?”<br />

“Eventually,” replied<br />

the caddie, wearily.<br />

Pull The<br />

Plug<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Out in Kansas, tornadoes<br />

often hit with<br />

sudden devastation,<br />

and without warning.<br />

In one case, a house<br />

was completely<br />

whisked away,<br />

leaving only the<br />

foundation and first<br />

floor.<br />

A silver-haired farm<br />

lady was seen sitting<br />

dazed, in a bathtub.<br />

It was the only<br />

remaining part of the<br />

house left above the<br />

floor.<br />

The rescue squad<br />

rushed to her aid<br />

and found her<br />

unhurt. She was<br />

just sitting there in<br />

the tub, talking to<br />

herself.<br />

I burnt my Hawaiian pizza last night. I should have put it on Aloha setting.<br />

Neighborly<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Mrs. Silver and her<br />

son, Timmy, were<br />

sitting in their home<br />

having lunch one<br />

day. Mrs. Silver realized<br />

that she hadn’t<br />

heard from her elderly<br />

widowed neighbor<br />

in quite some time.<br />

She thought it best<br />

that someone go and<br />

check on her.<br />

Mrs. Silver said to<br />

her son, “Timmy,<br />

would you go next<br />

door and see how<br />

old Mrs. Kirkland is?”<br />

A few minutes later,<br />

Timmy returned.<br />

“Well,” asked Mrs.<br />

Silver, “is she all<br />

right?”<br />

Sick of It<br />

Submitted by Tyla Davis<br />

Two men are discussing their lives.<br />

One says, “I’m getting married.<br />

I’m sick of a messy apartment,<br />

dirty dishes, and no clothes to<br />

wear.”<br />

The other one says, “Hey, I’m<br />

getting divorced for the same<br />

reasons.”<br />

“She’s fine, except<br />

that she’s angry at<br />

you.”<br />

“At me?” the woman<br />

exclaimed. “Whatever<br />

for?”<br />

“She said ‘It’s none<br />

of your business how<br />

old she is,’” snickered<br />

Timmy.<br />
