A recent widow was crying to a grief counselor. "We were married twenty-five years before he died," she said, dabbing away a tear. "Never had an argument in all those years."
"Amazing," said the councelor. "How did you do it?"
"I outweighed him by forty pounds and he was a coward."

want." So he tied her up and went golfing.

A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into
the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs,
"Honey, pack your bags! I won the lottery!"
The husband said, "Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or
mountain stuff?"
"Doesn't matter," she said. "Just get the hell out!"

A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license.
First, of course, he had to take an eyesight test. The optician

read this?" the optician asked. "Read it?" the Polish guy replied, "I
know the guy."

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.
Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said,
"CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're cooking to
many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more
butter. Oh my God! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're
going to stick! CAREFUL .. careful! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER
listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are
you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You
know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT!
THE SALT!"
The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You
think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"
The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it feels like
when I'm driving."

Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was
drafted by the Army. On his first day in basic training, the Army
issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all of
his hair.
On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That
afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth.
On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been
looking for Herman for 51 years.

A visiting minister during the offertory prayer:
"Dear Lord," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on
his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."
He would have continued, but at that moment one little girl leaned
over to her mother and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice,
"Mommy, WHAT is butt dust?"
Church was pretty much over at that point...

A fellow finds himself in front of the Pearly Gates. St. Peter explains that its not so easy to get in heaven. There are some criteria before entry is allowed.
For example, was the man religious in life? Attend church? No? St. Peter told him that's bad.
Was he generous? give money to the poor? Charities? No? St. Peter told him that that too was bad.
Did he do any good deeds? Help his neighbor? Anything? No? St. Peter was becoming concerned.
Exasperated, Peter says, "Look, everybody does something nice sometime. Work with me, I'm trying to help. Now think!"
The man says, "There was this old lady. I came out of a store and found her surrounded by a dozen Hell's Angels. They had taken her purse and were shoving her around, taunting and abusing her.
I got so mad I threw my bags down, fought through the crowd, and got her purse back. I then helped her to her feet. I then went up to the biggest, baddest biker and told him how despicable, cowardly and mean he was and then spat in his face".
"Wow", said Peter, "That's impressive. When did this happen"?
"Oh, about 10 minutes ago", replied the man.

THE MONK
A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery.
He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down....Do you think I could stay the night?"
The monks graciously accepts him, feeds him dinner, even fixes his car!
As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. A sound not
like anything he's ever heard before. The Sirens that nearly seduced Odysseus into crashing his ship comes to his mind.
He doesn't sleep that night. He tosses and turns--trying to figure out what could possibly be making such a seductive sound.
The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say,
"We can't tell you. You're not a monk."
Distraught, the man is forced to leave, not knowing.
Years later, after never being able to forget that sound, the man goes
back to the monastery and pleads for the answer again.
The monks reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."
The man says, "If the only way I can find out what is making that
beautiful sound is to become a monk, then please, make me a monk."
The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades
of grass there are, and the exact number of grains of sand.
When you find the answers, you will have become a monk."
The man sets about his task.
After years of searching , he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. "I have travelled the earth and have found what you have asked for:
By design, the world is in a state of perpetual change. Only God knows what you ask.
All a man can know is himself, and only then--if he is honest and reflective, and willing to strip away self deception."
The monks reply: "Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the mystery of the sound."
The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says: "The sound is beyond that door"
The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.
Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone.
The man is given the key to the stone door and he opens it, only to
find a door made of rubies.
And so it went, that he needed ADDITIONAL keys to doors of emeralds, gold and diamonds.
Finally, the monks say, "This is the last key to the last door."
The man is apprehensive to no end. His life's wish is behind the door!
He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is utterly
amazed to find the source of that haunting and seductive sound......
.................But I can't tell you what it is...... because you're not a monk.
