Fabulous Friday Funnies

A father and his young son were out walking one afternoon when the youngster asked how the electricity went through the wires stretched between the telephone poles.

"Don’t know," said the father. "Never knew much about electricity."

A few blocks father on the boy asked what caused lightning and thunder.

"To tell the truth," said the father, "I never exactly understood that myself."

The boy continued to ask questions throughout the walk, none of which the father could explain. Finally, as they were nearing home, the boy asked, "Pop, I hope you don’t mind my asking so many questions…"

"Of course not", replied the father. "How else are you going to learn?"

The Fabulous Friday Funnies

A little girl walks into her parents’ bathroom and notices for the First time, her father’s nakedness.

Immediately, she is curious: he has equipment that she doesn’t have. She asks, "What are those round things hanging there, daddy?"

Proudly, he replies, "Those, sweetheart, are God’s Apples of Life. Without them we wouldn’t be here."

Puzzled, she seeks out her mummy and tells her what daddy has said.

To which mummy asks, "Did he say anything about the dead branch they’re hanging from?"

The Fabulous Friday Funnies

My girlfriend said she was leaving me due to my obsession with the 60′s group The Monkees. I thought she was joking……..And then I saw her face …


My budgie broke his leg today so I made him a little splint out of a couple of matches….. you should have seen his little face light up when he tried to walk on a matchbox!

Fabulous Friday Funnies

A true anecdote

As we hurried out of the airport, I asked my partner to pick up a box of chocolates for Father’s Day while I collected the car. She picked up one already gift-wrapped. My 90-year-old father unwrapped this and opened the box to be greeted by chocolate figurines in all sorts of weird and compromising positions. This was the Kama Sutra chocolate collection. Beware!

Dad was flattered.


"A new study found out that having money and good looks does not make you happy. On the other hand, being broke and ugly is no day at the beach either." -Jay Leno

True story

I was out at the shops with four year old granddaughter when she informed me with astonishment that she had seen a man with one leg. Conversation as follows:

Me: Yes, that happens to some people.

Grandaughter: Why does he only have one leg?

Me: I don’t know – maybe he had an accident or something…

Granddaughter (triumphantly): Yes, and his leg fell off !!


A blonde goes into the beauty and hair parlor with her walkman on her head.

"I need to take that walkman off your head," says the beauty specialist as she notices the blonde.

"You can’t! I’ll die!" retorts the blonde.

"I can’t cut your hair with the walkman on your ears!" says the beauty specialist getting annoyed.

"I said you can’t take it off, or I’ll die!"

The beauty specialist, outraged and flustered, grabs the walkman and throws it off the head of the blonde. Within seconds, the blonde dies. When the specialist picks up the walkman to listen, she hears it repeating "breath in, breath out, breath in".


"My girlfriend and I are talking about getting married. She keeps asking me if I can support her, but she knows I can…she’s always on my back." –Scott Wood


A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring.

The man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense".

The man walks up to him and says, "I didn’t know you were into earrings."

"Don’t make such a big deal, it’s only an earring," he replies sheepishly.

His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to ask, "So, how long have you been wearing one?"

"Ever since my wife found it in my truck."

English professors love to catch the errors students make in their term papers, and they love nothing better than to catch mixed metaphors. The "friends and survivors" of Calvin College English department collected this list of mixed metaphors and posted them on their web site:

  • "He swept the rug under the carpet."
  • "She’s burning the midnight oil at both ends."
  • "It was so cold last night I had to throw another blanket on the fire."
  • "It’s time to step up to the plate and cut the mustard."
  • "She’s robbing Peter to pay the piper."
  • "He’s up a tree without a paddle."
  • "Beware my friend…you are skating on hot water."
  • "Keep your ear to the grindstone."
  • "Sometimes you’ve gotta stick your neck out on a limb."
  • "Some people sail through life on a bed of roses like a knife slicing through butter."

All the stage – hands were pressed into help. Eventually one of them discovered a cat underneath a chair who was chewing into the boot. The helper who discovered the cat burst into song and –

‘Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoe?’

The Fabulous Friday Funnies
