Three sisters age 92, 94, and 96 live in a house together. One night the 96 year old draws a bath, puts her foot in and pauses. She yells down stairs, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?” The 94 year old hollers back, “I don’t know, I’ll come up and see.” She starts up the stairs and pauses, then she yells, “Was I going up the stairs or coming down?” The 92 year old was sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, “I sure hope that I never get that forgetful.” She knocks on wood, just for good measure. She then yells, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”

Shortly after a British Airways flight had reached its cruising altitude, the captain announced: “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight 293 non-stop from London Heathrow to New York. The weather ahead is good, so we should have an uneventful flight. So, sit back, relax, and…. OH MY GOD!”

Silence followed… complete silence!....

Some moments later the captain comes back on the intercom. “Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m sorry if I scared you. While I was talking to you earlier, a flight attendant accidentally spilled coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!”

From the back of the plane, an Irish passenger yelled, “For the luvva Jaysus, you should see the back of mine!”

*****An old cowboy walks into a barbershop for a shave and a haircut. He tells the barber he can’t get all his whiskers off because his cheeks are wrinkled from age. The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and tells the old cowboy to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin. When he’s finished, the old cowboy tells the barber that was the best shave that he has had in years, but he wanted to know what would happen if he accidentally swallowed the little ball. The barber replied, “Just bring it back in a couple day like everyone else does.”

A husband and wife were grocery shopping. He picks up a case of beer and puts it in the cart. “What are you doing?” asks the wife. “They’re on sale, only $10 for 24 cans” he replies. “Put them back. We can’t afford them,” demands the wife. They continue shopping. Later on, she puts a $20 jar of face bream in the basket. “What are you doing?” asks the husband. “It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,” replies the wife. He said, “So does 24 can of beer and it’s half the price!”

*****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.
