The Fabulous Friday Funnies

Stress Buster No. 24.

Take a holiday.


A man was sleeping soundly when his wife shook him and said, “Wake up, someone is breaking in!”

The man had gone through this same scenario almost every night of his marriage, and he knew that the only way he would get any rest was to get up and go check it out.

This time, however, he found that there really was a man with a gun who entered to rob the house!

As the thief was about to flee the man said, “Stop! You have to come with me and meet my wife.”

Surprised, the thief turned around abruptly and said, “Why would you want ME to meet your wife?”

The man replied, “She’s been expecting you for 20 years.”


After waiting more than an hour and a half for her date, the young lady decided she had been stood up. Exasperated, she changed from her dinner dress into pajamas and slippers, fixed some popcorn and resigned herself to an evening of TV.

No sooner had she flopped down in front of the TV than her door bell rang. There stood her date. He took one look at her and gasped, “I’m two hours late – and you’re still not ready?”


An old blonde joke

Two bowling teams, one of all blondes and one of all brunettes, chartered a double-decker bus for a week-end gambling trip to Louisiana .

The brunette team rode on the bottom of the bus, and the blonde team rode on the top level. The brunettes down below really whooped it up, having a great time,when one of them realized she hadn’t heard anything from the blondes upstairs. She decided to go up and investigate.

When the brunette reached the top, she found all the blondes frozen in fear, staring straight ahead at the road, clutching the seats in front of them with white knuckles. The brunette asked, “What’s going on up here? We’re having a great time downstairs!” One of the blondes looked up at her, swallowed hard, and whispered…

“YEAH, BUT YOU’VE GOT A DRIVER!”


“What did one ghost say to another?”
“Do you believe in people?”

They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak.

“Where did you get those big eyes?”
“They came with the face.”

“Do you think I”ll lose my looks as I get older?”
“Yes if you’re lucky.”


There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession. Upon entering the confessional, she said, “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.”

The priest said, “Confess your sins and be forgiven.”

The young woman said, “Last night my boyfriend made mad passionate love to me seven times.”

The priest thought long and then said, “Squeeze seven lemons into a glass and drink the juice.”

The young woman asked, “Will this cleanse me of my sins?”

The priest said, “No, but it will wipe that smile off your face.”


A Pole, and Italian, and a Jew, all first-time fathers, are pacing nervously in the maternity ward waiting room when a nurse rushes out of the delivery room holding a black baby.

“Is it yours?” she asks the Italian.

“Certainly not,” he replies.

“Yours?” she asks the Pole, who vigorously denies paternity.

“How about you?” she asks the Jew.

“Maybe,” he says glumly. “My wife burns everything.”


Here’s a real life one that gave me a chuckle the other day: I was pulled up at an intersection behind a glazier’s
truck from a company with an imaginative name: Pane in the Glass.


“My girlfriend just got glasses, and I think I’m in trouble. I heard her upstairs looking in the mirror saying, ‘Wait a minute…I’m a model! Bye.’” –Chris Mancini


“When you were a little kid remember how hard it was to get a biscuit? Way in the back, unless your mom was really mean- then they’d be on top of the refrigerator. Nowhere on a package of Teddy Bears does it say, ‘Keep out of reach of small children.’

Where’s the Liquid Drano? Under the sink, right next to the rest of the poisons.” -Mike Bullard


Panicking when her toddler swallowing a tiny magnet; my sister, Betty, rushed him to the emergency room.

“He’ll be fine,” the doctor promised her. “The magnet should pass through his system in a day or two.”

“How will I be sure?” she pressed.

“Well,” the doctor suggested, “you could stick him on the refrigerator. When he falls off, you’ll know.”


I’ve got a real-life one for you… Last week we (my Year Three class and I) were stuck inside our classroom all week with the wet weather, which was wonderful because we really need the rain. On our lunchbreak on Friday we ran to the hall to eat, just to escape the room for a while. One of the girls in my class came up to me and said, “Mrs Lewis, that girl over there called me the e-word.”

This was a new one on me, so I asked her what the “e-word” was. She replied in a hurt voice, “She called me an …idiot!” I quickly set her straight on the initial letter in ‘idiot’ and told her to tell the lass that wasn’t a nice thing to call her – all while keeping a straight face. I was rather proud of myself!

Don’t know if it’s cruel to share this joke with the others on staff, but it gave me some much-needed light relief.

I met this bloke with a didgeridoo and he was playing Dancing Queen on it. I thought, “That’s Aboriginal.”


A priest from Ireland was assigned to a Texas diocese. One morning, Father O’Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in his new Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn.

He promptly called the local police station. The conversation went like this: “Good morning, this is Sergeant Jones, how might I help you?” “And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O’Malley at St. Brigid’s. There’s a jackass lying dead in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o’ yer lads to take care of the matter?” Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk.

“Well now Father, it was always my impression that you people took care of last rites!” There was dead silence on the line for a long moment. Father O’Malley then replied: “Aye, ’tis certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin.”


A travel agent looked up from his desk to see an old lady and an old Gentleman peering in the shop window at the posters showing the glamorous destinations around the world. The agent had had a good week and the dejected couple looking in the window gave him a rare feeling of generosity.

He called them into his shop: “I know that on your pension you could never hope to have a holiday, so I am sending you off to a fabulous resort at my expense, and I won’t take no for an answer”.

He took them inside and asked his secretary to write two flight tickets and book a room in a five star hotel. They, as can be expected, gladly accepted, and were off!

About a month later the little old lady came in to his shop.

“And how did you like your holiday?” he asked eagerly.

“The flight was exciting and the room was lovely,” she said. “I’ve come to thank you. But, one thing puzzled me. Who was that old guy I had to share the room with?”

A guy walks into a bar and notices two pieces of meat on the ceiling. He asks the bar man for a pint and the bar man asks, “Don’t you want to participate in our competition?”

The guy asks “What’s it all about?”

The barman informs him, “All you have to do is get those pieces of meat off the ceiling and you get a free pint! If you fail you have to buy the whole pub a drink.”

The guy replies, “No I don’t think so, mate… the steaks are too high!”


“Bob Woodward claims that the Bush administration is in a state of denial. Today the Bush administration denied it.” -Dave Letterman

An Australian, a South African and a New Zealand rugby fan are all in Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze when, all of a sudden, Saudi police rush in and arrest them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible Crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they are all sentenced to death! However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they are able to successfully appeal their sentences down to life imprisonment.

By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day, their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheikh decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: “It’s my first wife’s birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping.”

The South African was first in line, he thought for a while and then said: “Please tie a pillow to my back.” This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. When the punishment was done he had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.

The Australian was next up. After watching the South African’s Horror he said smugly: “Please fix two pillows to my back.” But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again and the Australian was soon led away whimpering loudly (as they do).

The New Zealander was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: “You are from a most beautiful part of the world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!”

“Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness”, the Kiwi replied. In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20 lashes but 100 lashes.”

“Not only are you an honourable, handsome and powerful man, you Are also very brave”, the Sheikh said with an admiring look on his face. “If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish”? “Tie the Australian to my back.”


I have a friend who is going through a rough spot so instead of ringing her and asking hows everything going I started texting her silly questions. Well, I remembered a few from your book. Here is the answer she sent to….”If dog food has a new and improved taste, who taste tests it?” ……Her reply… Men in the dog house. Just so good.

The Fabulous Friday Funnies

Stress Buster No. 22.

Get a health check.

There are many disorders that initially do not have any obvious physical symptoms. For example you could be walking around with diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease and not know it. You’ll need to ask for an extended appointment with your GP when you book.


I was meeting a friend in a bar, and as I went in I noticed two pretty girls looking at me.

“Nine,” I heard one whisper as I passed.

Feeling pleased with myself, I swaggered over to my buddy and told him a girl had just rated me a nine out of ten.

“I don’t want to ruin it for you,” he said, “but when I walked in, they were speaking German.”


Two kids are arguing over whose father is the biggestscaredy-cat.

The first kid says, “My dad is so scared that when lightning strikes, he hides underneath the bed.”

The second kid replies,”Yeah? Well, that’s nothing. My dad is so scared that when my mom has to work the nightshift, he sleeps with the lady next door.”


A group of Americans were traveling by tour bus through Holland .As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process of cheese making, explaining that goat’s milk was used. She showed the group a lively hillside where many goats were grazing.

“These” she explained “are the older goats put out to pasture when ;they no longer produce.” She then asked, “What do you do in America with your old goats?” A spry old gentleman answered, “They send us on bus tours!”


A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he’d given her.

Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Men are like that, you know.


“A group of investors announced they plan on opening a hotel in space. A weekend stay will cost $4 million. It will cost you another million to eat a Snickers from the mini bar.” -Conan O’Brien


“Smokey the Bear turns 47 today. I never trusted Smokey the Bear. Kids, if you see a bear wearing a ranger’s hat, it’s because the bear ate the ranger!” -Craig Ferguson


Five tips for a woman

  1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
  2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
  3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn’t lie to You.
  4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
  5. It is important that these four men don’t know each other.

A lonely wife brought a man she had just met at a bar home to her bedroom one evening when she thought her husband was out of town. They immediately tore each other’s clothes off and started going at it. She sat up quickly in bed as she heard the key in the lock.

“Quick!” she said to the man, “it’s my husband! You’ve got to get out of here quick!”

“Where’s the back door?” the man asked as he grabbed his clothes.

“There isn’t one,” she replied.

“Where would you like one?” he asked.


Nice words/phrases woman use

  1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
  2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
  3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with ‘nothing’ usually end in ‘fine’.
  4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
  5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
  6. That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
  7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome.
  8. Whatever: It’s a women’s way of saying STUFF YOU!
  9. Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ (For the woman’s response refer to #3.)

A beautiful woman loved growing vegetables, but couldn’t seem to get her tomatoes to turn red.

One day, while taking a stroll, she came upon a gentleman neighbour who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes.

The woman asked the gentlemen, “What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?” The gentlemen responded, “Well, twice a day I stand in front of my garden n a k e d in my trench coat and flash. My tomatoes turn red from blushing so much.”

Well, the woman was so impressed, she decided to try doing the same thing to her garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks she flashed her garden, hoping for the best.

One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, “By the way, how did it go? Did your tomatoes turn red?”

No”, she replied, “but my cucumbers are enormous.”


“Why don’t they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff?” —Steven Wright


A school teacher asked her students to use the word “fascinate” in a sentence.

Molly put up her hand and said, “My family went to my granddad’s farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating.”

The teacher said, “That was good, but I wanted you to use the word ‘fascinate,’ not ‘fascinating.’”

Sally raised her hand and said, “My family went to see Rock City and I was fascinated.”

The teacher said, “Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word ‘fascinate.’”

Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before.

She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word “fascinate.” so she called on him.

Johnny said, “My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight.”

The teacher cried.
