Find the Right Career

A young blonde was lying on her therapist’s couch, telling him how frustrated she was with finding a job that would suit her.

“I tried to be an actress but couldn’t get cast,” she complained. “I tried to be a secretary but couldn’t stand the environment. I tried being a writer and got nowhere with the publishers. I tried being a sales clerk and that didn’t work out either.”

The therapist thought for a moment and said, “For optimal mental health, it’s very important that you find a fulfilling occupation that’s right for you. Have you tried nursing?”

The blonde thought about it for a moment then stood up and took off her blouse. She pointed her bare and ample bosom toward the therapist and said, “Well go ahead. At this point I’ll give anything a try!”

The CEO’s Death

The receptionist answered the phone the morning after the CEO had unexpectedly passed away.

“Is Mr. Daulton there?” asked the caller on the phone.

“I am very sorry, but Mr. Daulton passed away last night,” the receptionist answered.

“Is Mr. Daulton there?” repeated the caller.

The receptionist was perplexed, “Perhaps you did not understand me. I am afraid Mr. Daulton passed away last night.”

“Is Mr. Daulton there?” asked the caller again.

“Ma’am, do you understand what I am saying?” said the exasperated receptionist, “Mr. Daulton is dead.”

“I understand you perfectly,” the caller remarked. “I just can’t hear it often enough.”

How to Get a Date

Murray had just met the woman of his dreams, but he was horribly shy and could never muster the courage to ask her out on a date.

Fortunately his friend Saul had an ingenious solution. “Send her some flowers,” Saul said. “On the card, invite her to your house for a delicious home cooked meal.”

Murray thought that was a wonderful idea, and immediately dialed the florist.

A few days later, Saul asked Murray how it went.

“It was a disaster! A terrible idea!” moaned Murray.

“Why? What happened? Didn’t she accept?” asked Saul.

“Oh she accepted alright,” said Murray, “but when she came over, she refused to cook!”

Season Ticket Swap

Donna and Sam were reading the evening paper, when Donna let out a chuckle.

“Get this, Sam,” she said to her husband. “Some guy put an ad in here offering to swap his wife for a season ticket at the stadium! Could you imagine doing anything like that?”

“That’s just crazy,” said Sam. “I would never do something like that!”

“Aww honey,” Donna cooed, “You’re so sweet!”

“Only an idiot would make such an offer,” Sam added. “The season is already half over!”

Teeny Weeny Bikini

Excited about her new purchase, the 16 year old girl raced home and tried on her new bikini. She was so thrilled with how it looked that she showed it to her mother.

“Well, what do you think, Mom?” asked the daughter.

Her mother cooly replied, “If I had worn that when I was your age, you would be 5 years older now.”

Pick a Topic. Any Topic. OK, any topic but that one.

“Isn’t it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?” -Charles Lindbergh

Some people never shut up. It seems like they just keep on talking and talking. I have a friend who will start talking to you, and she’ll keep on talking to you even as you are walking out the door. Even when you close the door behind you, she’s still having that conversation as if you were standing right there in front of her. This is an extreme example, but I imagine like most of us, she frequently has thoughts that she’d never say out loud.

Generally speaking, our brains are wired to protect us from ourselves. Of course it doesn’t always work, but it usually keeps you from falling off a cliff, or rolling around in lava, or saying shit that might get you killed. The latter may not seem to apply to celebrities on Twitter, but they’re all pretty much still breathing.

While those thoughts we never say lay the foundations of our mental house of cards, no amount of waterboarding, drunkenness, or pentothal could ever force us to utter those thoughts aloud. It’s a hard coded priority that takes precedence over self-preservation. Even the most cowardly would die before they would speak.

So if you’ve ever worried about those thoughts in your head, take comfort in knowing that you’re not the only one who has them. Everyone has them. On the other hand, the thoughts you never tell are unique unto you, and no matter how many friends you have, you are still very much alone.

More than a Mile

A nun and a priest were traveling across the desert when the camel they were using for transportation collapsed and died. They set up a make-shift camp, hoping someone would come to their rescue, but to no avail.

After several days of not being rescued, the priest said to the nun, “You know, Sister, I am about to die, and I’ve always wanted to see a naked woman. Would you mind taking off your clothes so I can look at you?”

The nun agreed to take off her clothes, and as she was doing so remarked, “Well, Father, now that I think about it, I’ve never seen a naked man. Would you mind taking off your clothes too?”

With little hesitation, the priest also stripped. Suddenly the nun exclaimed, “Father! What is that little thing hanging between your legs?”

The priest patiently answered, “That, my child, is a gift from God. If I put it in you, it creates a new life.”

“Well forget about me,” responded the nun. “Stick it in that damn camel!”

Grandpa’s Plea

An old Jewish man was walking along the beach with his only grandson. Suddenly a giant wave crashed into the shore and swept the boy out to sea.

The old man looked up to the heavens and said, “Oh Lord, this is my only grandson, how can you take him away from me like this? My son will not understand. My daughter-in-law will die from grief!”

Another wave crashed into the shore and left the boy at the old man’s feet.

The grandfather looked up to the heavens again and said, “He had a hat!”
