*****An elderly man, thinking his wife was losing her hearing, went about 20 feet behind her and asked, “Can you hear me, sweetheart?” No reply. He moved in to about 10 feet and inquired again. No reply. Five feet, and not a word. A few inches behind her ear, he asked, “Can you hear me now, honey?” His wife said, “For the fourth time, yes.”

*****Iowa DNR has requested that all ice fishing houses be removed from the Iowa lakes by July 3rd so as to not interfere with the July 4th fireworks.

Ok. So you’re riding a horse at full speed. There is a giraffe next to you, and a lion chasing you. What do you do? Well, for starters, get your drunk butt off the carousel.

A guy walks into a lumberyard and asks for some 2 x 4s. The clerk asks “How long do you need them?” The guy answers, “A long time. We are gonna build a house.

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 ½ years and had just recovered from an injury. Someone had given me a little ‘tea set’ as a get well gift, and it was one of my favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of ‘tea’ which was just water.

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my mom came home. My dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was ‘just the cutest thing!’

My mom waited, and sure enough, I walked down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy, and she watched him drink it up. The she says, (as only a mother would know…) “Did it ever occur to you that the only place that your daughter can reach to get water from is the toilet?”
