A man and a woman were married for many years. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, *When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!* The neighbors feared him, and the man took pride in this. One evening he died at the age of 98. After the funeral, her neighbors asked the widow, *Aren*t you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?* The widow said, *Let him dig! I had him buried upside down, and I know he won*t stop and ask for directions.*

Last Wednesday, a passenger was in a taxi heading to the airport. She leaned forward to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up on the curb and stop just inches from hitting a storefront window. For a few minutes, everything was silent in the cab.
Then, the shaking driver said, *I am so sorry, are you ok? You scared the daylights out of me!* The badly shaken passenger  apologized to the driver and said, *I didn*t realize a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so badly.*
The driver replied, *No, no. I*m the one who is sorry. It*s entire my fault.  Today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been driving a hearse for 25 years.*

Last Wednesday, a passenger was in a taxi heading to the airport. She leaned forward to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up on the curb and stop just inches from hitting a storefront window. For a few minutes, everything was silent in the cab.
Then, the shaking driver said, *I am so sorry, are you ok? You scared the daylights out of me!* The badly shaken passenger  apologized to the driver and said, *I didn*t realize a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so badly.*
The driver replied, *No, no. I*m the one who is sorry. It*s entire my fault.  Today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been driving a hearse for 25 years.*

Boyfriend asked, *What*s it supposed to be when it's finished?*
*According to the box, its supposed to be a tiger,* she said. Her boyfriend decided to go over and help her with the puzzle. She let him in and showed him where she had the puzzle spread all over the table. He studied the pieces for a moment, then looked at the box and said, *First of all, no matter how hard we try, we will never assemble these pieces into anything that resembles a tiger.* He took her hand and said, *Second, I want you to relax. Let*s have a nice cup of hot chocolate and then...* he sighed,......*Let*s put all of these frosted flakes back in the box.*

A firefighter was working on his engine outside the station when he noticed a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders on the side and a garden hose neatly coiled in the middle. The girl was wearing a firefighter*s helmet. The wagon was being pulled by her cat and dog. The fireman walked over to take a closer look.

*That sure is a nice fire-truck* he said.
*Thank you* the girl replied. He took a closer look and noticed that the girl had tied the wagon to the dog*s collar and the cat*s testicles.
*Little partner,* said the fireman, *I don*t want to tell you how to run your rig, but you could probably go faster if you tied the wagon to the cat*s collar instead.*
She said, *You*re probably right sir, but then I wouldn*t have a siren.*

Two ladies were walking down the street and walked past a pet shop. There was a parrot sitting near the door on his perch. As the ladies approach, the parrot says,
*Caw.. You*re ugly.* The woman was appalled and asked, *What did you say?*
So the parrot repeated himself *Caw..You*re ugly.*
The woman said, *If you say that again, I*m gonna tell the manager.* Then the women walked away. The next day the women walk past the pet shop again.
*Caw... you*re ugly.* The woman found the manager and told him what the parrot had been saying to her.
*Don*t worry ma'am. I will have a good talking to with him and I promise he will not say that again.* The next day the two women decide to walk past the pet shop just to check. The woman says, *And what do you have to say for yourself?*The parrot gives her an angry look and says, *Oh, you know!*

A blonde called her boyfriend and said, *Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can*t figure it out, or how to get started.*
Boyfriend asked, *What*s it supposed to be when it's finished?*
*According to the box, its supposed to be a tiger,* she said. Her boyfriend decided to go over and help her with the puzzle. She let him in and showed him where she had the puzzle spread all over the table. He studied the pieces for a moment, then looked at the box and said, *First of all, no matter how hard we try, we will never assemble these pieces into anything that resembles a tiger.* He took her hand and said, *Second, I want you to relax. Let*s have a nice cup of hot chocolate and then...* he sighed,......*Let*s put all of these frosted flakes back in the box.*

A firefighter was working on his engine outside the station when he noticed a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders on the side and a garden hose neatly coiled in the middle. The girl was wearing a firefighter*s helmet. The wagon was being pulled by her cat and dog. The fireman walked over to take a closer look.

*That sure is a nice fire-truck* he said.
*Thank you* the girl replied. He took a closer look and noticed that the girl had tied the wagon to the dog*s collar and the cat*s testicles.
*Little partner,* said the fireman, *I don*t want to tell you how to run your rig, but you could probably go faster if you tied the wagon to the cat*s collar instead.*
She said, *You*re probably right sir, but then I wouldn*t have a siren.*

Two ladies were walking down the street and walked past a pet shop. There was a parrot sitting near the door on his perch. As the ladies approach, the parrot says,
*Caw.. You*re ugly.* The woman was appalled and asked, *What did you say?*
So the parrot repeated himself *Caw..You*re ugly.*
The woman said, *If you say that again, I*m gonna tell the manager.* Then the women walked away. The next day the women walk past the pet shop again.
*Caw... you*re ugly.* The woman found the manager and told him what the parrot had been saying to her.
*Don*t worry ma'am. I will have a good talking to with him and I promise he will not say that again.* The next day the two women decide to walk past the pet shop just to check. The woman says, *And what do you have to say for yourself?*The parrot gives her an angry look and says, *Oh, you know!*

My grandfather told me that he saw The Titanic and that from the beginning he warned all the people that the boat would sink, but they ignored him. However, they were warned again on several occasions, until they kicked him out of the cinema.

Singing in the shower is all fun and games until you get shampoo in your mouth, then it just becomes a soap opera.

A man in northern Minnesota woke up one morning to find a bear on his roof. He looked in the Yellow Pages and sure enough, there was an ad for

Up North Bear Removers. He called them up and the man said he would be there within an hour. The bear remover arrived and got out of his van with a ladder, a baseball bat, a 12 ga. shotgun, and a mean-looking heavily scarred pit bull. The homeowner asked what the plan of action was.

The bear remover said. "I'm going to place the ladder up against the roof and go up there and knock the bear off with the bat. When he falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab the bear by the testicles and not let go. The bear will then be subdued and I will put him in the cage in the back of the van."

The homeowner asked,What is the shot gun for?
If the bear knocks me off the roof, you shoot the dog!

A man in northern Minnesota woke up one morning to find a bear on his roof. He looked in the Yellow Pages and sure enough, there was an ad for

Up North Bear Removers. He called them up and the man said he would be there within an hour. The bear remover arrived and got out of his van with a ladder, a baseball bat, a 12 ga. shotgun, and a mean-looking heavily scarred pit bull. The homeowner asked what the plan of action was.

The bear remover said. "I'm going to place the ladder up against the roof and go up there and knock the bear off with the bat.
