The Dying Irishman

The doctor, after a lengthy examination, sighed and looked Murphy in the eye and said, “I’ve some bad news for you. You have cancer and it can’t be cured. I’d give you two weeks to a month.”
Murphy shocked and saddened by the news, managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor’s office into the waiting room. There he saw his son who had been waiting. Murphy said, “Son, we Irish celebrate when things are good and celebrate when things don’t go so well. In this case, things aren’t so well. I have cancer, and I’ve been given a short time to live. Let’s head for the pub and have a few pints.”
After three or four pints the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more beers. They were eventually approached by some of Murphy’s old friends who asked what the two were celebrating. Murphy told them that the Irish celebrate the good and the bad. He went on to tell them that they were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends “I’ve only got a few weeks to live as I have been diagnosed with AIDS.”
The friends gave Murphy their condolences and bought a couple rounds of beers. After his friends left, Murphy’s son leaned over and whispered, “Dad I thought you said that you were dying from cancer, but you just told your friends that you were dying from AIDS.”
Murphy said, “I am dying from cancer son, I just don’t want any of them sleeping with your mother after I’m gone.”

The Death Notice

When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea.
No sooner were the papers delivered when a good friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly, “You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea.”
“I nursed him night and day, so of course I know he died of diarrhea,” replied the widow, “but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big poop he always was.”

Time to Start Cussing

A 6-year-old and a 4-year-old are upstairs in their bedroom. “You know what?” says the 6-year-old. “I think it’s about time we start cussing.”
The 4-year-old nods his head in approval.
The 6-year-old continues. “When we go downstairs for breakfast I’m going to say “hell” and you say “ass.”
“OK!” The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.
Their mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6-year-old what he wants for breakfast.
“Aw hell, Mom, I guess I’ll have some Cheerios.”
WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear every step. The Mom locks him in his room and shouts “You can just stay there till I let you out!” She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year-old, and asks with a stern voice, “And what do YOU want for breakfast young man?”
“I don’t know,” he blubbers, “But you can bet your fat ass it won’t be Cheerios.”

The Blonde’s Thermos

A blond was shopping at Wal*Mart and came across a shiny silver thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and brought it over to the clerk to ask what it was.
The clerk said, “Why, that’s a thermos. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold.”
“Wow,” said the blond, “that’s amazing. I’m going to buy it!”
So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss, also a blond, saw it on her desk. “What’s that?” he asked.
“Why, that’s a thermos. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold,” she replied.
“Wow, that’s amazing,” said the boss, “what do you have in it?”
“Two Popsicles and some coffee.”

New Math

A little boy was doing his homework. He said to himself, “Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine.”
His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, “What are you doing?”
The little boy answered, “I’m doing my math homework, Mom.”
“And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?” the mother asked.
“Yes,” he answered.
Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, “What are you teaching my son in math?”
The teacher replied, “Right now, we are learning addition.”
The mother asked, “And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?”
After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, “What I taught them was, two plus two, the sum of which, is four.”

Pregnancy Proverbs

The mother was currently in the third trimester of her second child when her first born came up and hugged her belly.
“Mommy,” asked her curious 3 year old, “Are you getting fat?”
“Honey,” explained the weary mother, “we’ve discussed this already. Mommy is pregnant and your baby brother is growing in my tummy.”
“I know, Mommy,” said the little darling, “but what’s growing in your butt?”

Can I Get a Glass of Water?

A misbehaving young boy is sent to bed early by his father. Five minutes later the child called out, “Da-a-a-ad!”
“What?”
“I’m thirsty. Can you bring me a glass of water?”
“No. You had your chance. Lights out.”
Five minutes later: “Da-aaaad!”
“What?!”
“I’m thirsty! Can I have a glass of water?”
“I told you NO!” If you ask again, I’ll spank you!!”
Five minutes later: “Daaaa-aaaad!”
“What?!”
“When you come in to spank me, can you bring a glass of water?”

A Wife’s Letter to Tide

Dear Tide,
I’m writing to say what an excellent product you have. I’ve used it since the beginning of married life, when my mom told me it was the best. In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My husband started to berate me about my drinking problem. One thing led to another and I ended up with a lot of his blood on my white blouse as well. I tried to get the stain out using a bargain detergent, but it just wouldn’t come out.
After a quick trip out, I stopped and got a bottle of liquid Tide with bleach alternative, and all of the stains came out! They came out so well, in fact, that the DNA tests were negative! I thank you, once again, for a great product.
Well, gotta go. I have to write a letter to the Hefty bag people.
Sincerely,
-Mary

Infectious Humor

To be honest, I wasn’t much to speak of on my APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test), and PT wasn’t exactly my forte either. Still, I don’t really think I’d want be be heading into that part of the world at this point in time.

I don’t usually do two comics in a single weekend… Heck, I don’t usually do three panel comics for that matter either. It’s just that I’ve been making some progress on the soldier characters, and I thought I’d just go ahead and toss it out there.

And just where did I suddenly find time to work on the comic? Well, my dog Grace is down with a sinus infection. It’s amazing how much work you can get done on the computer when the dog isn’t always begging to play.

Open Bay Catharsis

f2x0119

When you watch movies and television, you occasionally see scenes that involve lockers and showers. They usually seem very relaxed and casual. People walk around as if they were alone in their own bathroom, yet they converse with one another as if they were having lunch in a sports bar. In real life, shower rooms typically have a sort of nervous tension. Most people do not feel quite so comfortable being naked around others. It’s not even gymnophobia really. Being naked in front of others can make one feel vulnerable. This is normal.

When I served, we usually had these trailers with somewhat private individual shower stalls, but sometimes you would encounter the “open bay” shower facilities.  Everyone reacts differently to this. Some people take it in stride, while others take up a more defensive posture. Then there’s the ones who suddenly let it all hang out as if they just arrived at some kind of wild beach party with an open bar. Long story short, if you’re a dude who has a problem showering with other dudes, then the military may not be for you.

It’s not just the guys either… Females also deal with this. One corporal I knew was completely mortified by another female’s disregard for personal space in the showers. I had a pretty good chuckle when she irritatingly referred to the offender as “Chesty McTits”, but I’m sure she didn’t find the situation quite as amusing.
