A pharmacist walks into his shop to find a man leaning against the wall. “What’s wrong with him?” he asks his assistant. “He came in for some cough syrup,” the assistant explains, “but I couldn’t find any, so I sold him a bottle of laxatives instead.” “What?!” the pharmacist said, horrified. “You can’t treat a cough with laxatives!” “Sure you can!” the assistant declares. “Look at him- he’s far too scared to cough”

The other night I was invited out for a night with the girls. I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, “I promise!” Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 A.M., a bit tipsy, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times.

Quickly realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution in order to escape a possible conflict with him. (Even when drunk – 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos equals 12 – MIDNIGHT!)

The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him “Midnight.” He didn’t seem mad in the least. Whew, I got away with that one! Then he said, “I think we need a new cuckoo clock.”  When I asked him why, he said, “Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, ‘oh crap’ cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.”

A farmer drove to a neighbor’s farmhouse and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door. “Is your dad or mom home?” said the farmer. “No, they went to town.” “How about your brother, Howard, is he here?” “No, he went with Mom and Dad. The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, mumbling to himself, when the young boy says, “I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give my Dad a message.” “Well,” said the farmer uncomfortably, “no, I really want to talk to your dad about your brother Howard getting my daughter Suzy pregnant.” The boy thought for a moment, then says, “You’ll have to talk to my dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bulls and $150 for the pigs, but I have no idea how much he charges for Howard.”
