The accountants suggested to Nero that he close down the Colosseum.
"We're not making a drachma," they told him.
"The lions are eating-up all the prophets."

A little boy was practicing the violin in the living room while his father was trying to read the newspaper in the kitchen. The family dog, lying at the father's feet, heard the screeching violin and started to howl terribly. Soon the house was full of horrible violin music and even worse howling.
The father stayed silent for as long as he could stand it. Finally he threw his newspaper down on the floor, jumped to his feet, and yelled, "For heavens sake, couldn't you play something the dog doesn't know?!"

Back in my hiking days, I noticed a black bird roosting in a nearby tree.
"I've always wondered what's the difference between a raven and a crow," I said.
"You have to count the pinion feathers on the wings," my companion
explained. "If there are four, it's a crow. If there are five, it's a
raven."
"Really?" I said, although I knew he didn't have a clue about which he spoke.
"Oh, yes," he replied. "It's just a matter of a pinion."

Many years ago, a guy named Joe worked in the coal mines. He
would go to work early in the morning, go down the mine to the coal face
and do his eight hour stint, then come back to the surface to get ready
to come home. He followed this daily routine faithfully for years on
end, down the mine in the morning and up at the end of his shift. Down
then up, down then up.
One day whilst he was at the coal face he swung
his pick ax and the point went deep into a rock. He eventually managed
to remove the pick ax from the rock, and as he did so he was engulfed in
a deluge of water. He was absolutely drenched by the water, and his
work mates remarked that he looked about 10 years younger since the
water had covered him. They all tried to get soaked, and those that
managed did indeed look 10 years younger.
He, and those of his friends
who had managed to get covered by the water, were thankful but they
couldn't stop wondering why they had only been made to look 10 years
younger. Why hadn't they been made to look 20 or 25 years younger than
they really were?
They finally figured that it was only a miner miracle.

A young lad is caught stealing soap from the local soap factory. When the case comes to court the judge decides to make an example of him to discourage other youths from a life of crime.
Judge: "Well, what have you to say in your defense?"
Boy: "I'm sorry your honor."
Judge: "I sentence you to 10 years hard labor, starting immediately."
Boy: "But sir, it was only a few bars of cheap soap."
Judge: "Consider yourself lucky, it could have been life boy!"

An aquatic, seaweed-eating mammal named Hugh began swimming very close to a man's waterfront property.
The man tried to get rid of the creature by clubbing it, but he was arrested.
In court, the man's lawyer argued that assault against a marine mammal is not an offense.
The judge disagreed, however, stating, "This is a crime against Hugh manatee."

John and Jennifer left the fertility clinic with Jennifer in tears. They
were just told that she could not become pregnant. They would never
have the family they both desired so fervently.
They were on their way
home when suddenly a masked man appeared before them. "I think I can
help you," he said, handing them a card.
"Why are you masked?" John
asked.
"Because the government has declared our activities illegal," the
masked man answered. "Go to the address on this card," he instructed
the couple. "The doctor will take a scraping from one of your mouths and
culture it. In less than a year, we will have a baby for you."
"This is
the answer to our prayers!" Jennifer excitedly exclaimed. She then
turned to thank the stranger, but he was gone.
"Who was that masked
man?" she asked her husband.
John answered, "That was the Clone
Arranger."

An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in
New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that
your mother and I are divorcing, forty-five years of misery is enough."
"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hangs up.
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be flying in there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "They're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own airfares. Now what do we tell them for Christmas?"
"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hangs up.

This weekend, while shopping in a local toy store, I came across a
long line of people waiting for a promised shipment of dolls from
Mattel. As I scanned the line, I noticed a friend waiting with all the
others. I knew my friend had no daughters or young relatives, so I
figured he must like the dolls himself.
“Danny,” I said going up to him, “I didn’t know you were a collector!”
“I’m not,” he replied.
“Oh,” I said, “You’re buying a gift, then.”
“No, not at all,” my friend responded.
“If you don’t mind my asking then, Danny,” I said, “Why are you standing in this line?”
“Oh that,” he answered. “It’s like this,” my friend stated, “I’ve never been able to resist a barbie queue!”

In a small country pub, all the patrons became quite used to the pub owner's little
dog being around the bar, so they were quite upset when one day the little dog died.
Everyone met to decide how they could remember the little dog. The decision was to cut
off his tail and stick it up behind the bar to remind everyone of the little dog's
wagging tail.
The little dog went up to heaven and was about to run through the Pearly Gates when he
was stopped by Saint Peter, who questioned the little dog as to where he was going.
The little dog said "I have been a good dog - so I am going into heaven where I belong!"
Saint Peter replied "You can not come into heaven without a tail, where is your tail?"
The little dog explained the what had happened back on earth. Saint Peter told the
little dog to go back down to earth and retrieve his tail. The little dog protested
that it was now the middle of the night back at the pub, but Saint Peter would not
change his mind.
So the little dog went back down to earth and scratched on the door of the pub until
the bartender who lived upstairs came down and opened the door.
"My goodness, it is the spirit of the little dog. What can I do for you?" said the
bartender. The little dog explained that he wasn't allowed into heaven without his tail,
and he needed it back.
The bartender replied "I would really like to help you, but my liquor license doesn't
allow me to retail spirits after hours!"

“Grandpa, do you mind if I play my new harmonica in here?” asked little Phil.
“Of course not, Phil. I love music. In fact, when your grandma and I were young, music saved my life."
“What happened?” ask Phil.
"Well, it
was during the famous Johnstown flood. The dam broke and when the
water hit our house it knocked it right off the foundation. Grandma got
on the dining room table and floated out safely.”
“How about you?”
“Me? I accompanied her on the piano!”

A month after Donald MacDonald started at Harvard, his mother
called from Scotland. "And how are the American students, Donald?" she
asked.
"They’re so noisy," he complained. "One neighbor endlessly bangs his head against the wall, while another screams all night."
"How do you put up with it?"
"I just ignore them and play my bagpipes."

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as
to when they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said he’d make a deal with his son.
“You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible, and get
your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.”
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer,
and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks his father said, “Son, you’ve brought your grades up,
and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m
disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut.”
The boy said, “You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve
noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the
Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair – and there’s even strong
evidence that Jesus had long hair.”
Dad thought about that for a moment and then replied, “Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?”

A man burned his finger so he decided to go to the doctor. When he
arrived at the office, the nurse directed him to remove all his clothes,
and wait in the next room.
“It’s just my finger,” complained the man.
“Why do I need to take off my clothes?”
“Everyone who sees the doctor
has to undress,” explained the nurse. “It’s our policy.”
“Well, I think
it’s a stupid policy!”
From the next room, another man’s voice piped in,
“That’s nothing! I just came to fix the furnace.”

A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her
more precocious students. The teacher asked, “Harry, what exactly is
your problem?”
Harry answered, “I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the
3rd grade and I'm smarter than she! I think I should be in the 3rd
grade, too!”
Ms. Brooks finally had enough; she took Harry to the principal's office.
While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the
situation to the principal. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give
the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to
go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he happily agreed to take the test.
Principal: “What is 3 x 3?”
Harry: “9.”
Principal: “What is 6 x 6?”
Harry: “36.”
And so it went with every question the principal thought a bright 3rd grader should know.
The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, “Y’know, I reckon Harry can go to the 3rd grade.”
But Ms. Brooks is still skeptical of the little bugger and says to the principal, “Not so fast, let me ask him a few questions.”
The principal and Harry both agree.
Ms. Brooks asks, “What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?”
Harry, after a moment: “Legs.”
Ms. Brooks: “What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?”
The principal wondered why would she ask such a question!
Harry replied: “Pockets.” to the Principal’s great relief…..
Ms. Brooks: “What does a dog do that a man steps into?”
Harry: “Pants.”
By now, the principal is sitting forward with his mouth hanging open.
Ms. Brooks: “What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?”
Now the principal's eyes open really wide and before he could intervene, Harry replied, “Bubble gum.”
Ms. Brooks: “What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?”
Harry: “Shake hands.”
The principal is now trembling with apprehension as Ms. Brooks asks the last question.
Ms. Brooks: “What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' and indicates a great deal of heat and excitement?”
Harry: "Firetruck.”
The principal breaths a huge sigh of relief and tells the teacher, “Put
the little shit in 5th Grade; I got the last seven questions wrong
myself.”

Mr. Jones is driving past the state mental hospital when his left rear
tire suffers a flat. While he is changing the tire, another car goes
by, running over the hub cap in which he was keeping the lug nuts.
The nuts are all knocked into a nearby storm drain.
"Hey, pal! Why don't you just take one lug nut off each of the other three wheels and use them to replace the missing ones? That'll hold your tires on until you can get to a garage or something."
Mr. Jones is startled by the patient's seeming rationality, but realizes the plan will work, and installs the spare tire without incident. Before he leaves, he calls back to the patient. "You know, that was pretty sharp thinking. Why do they have you in there?"
The patient smiles and says, "I'm in here because I'm crazy, not because I'm stupid."

A pastor, known for his lengthy sermons, noticed a man get up and
leave during the middle of his message. The man returned just before the
conclusion of the service. Afterwards the pastor asked the man where he
had gone.
"I went to get a haircut," was the reply.
"But," said the pastor, "why didn't you do that before the service?"
"Because," the gentleman said, "I didn't need one then."

A lawyer, who was quite wealthy, had a summer cabin to which he retreated
for several weeks of the year. Each summer, the lawyer would invite a
different friend of his to spend a week or two up at this place, which
happened to be in a backwoods section of Maine. On one particular
occasion, he invited a Czechoslovakian friend to stay with him, and
the friend, eager to get something free from a lawyer, agreed.
Early one morning the lawyer and his Czech companion went out to pick
berries for their morning breakfast. As they went around the berry patch,
along came two huge Bears - a male and a female. The lawyer, seeing the
two bears, immediately dashed for cover. His friend, though, wasn't so
lucky, and the male bear reached him and swallowed him whole.
The lawyer ran back to his Mercedes, tore into town as fast as he could,
and got the local sheriff. The sheriff grabbed his rifle and dashed
back to the berry patch with the lawyer. Sure enough, the two bears were
still there.
"He's in THAT one!" cried the lawyer, pointing to the male, while
visions of lawsuits from his friend's family danced in his head. He
just had to save his friend.
The sheriff looked at the bears, and without batting an eye, leveled his
gun, took careful aim and SHOT THE FEMALE.
"Why did you do that?" exclaimed the lawyer, "I said he was in the other!"
"Exactly," replied the sheriff, "would YOU believe a lawyer who told
you that the Czech was in the male?"

A couple just started their Lamaze class and they were given an
activity requiring the husband to wear a bag of sand - to give him an
idea of what it feels like to be pregnant. The husband stood up and
shrugged saying, "This doesn't feel so bad."
The instructor then dropped a pen and asked the husband to pick it up.
"You want me to pick up the pen as if I were pregnant, the way my wife would do it?" the husband asked.
"Exactly," replied the instructor.
To the delight of the other husbands, he turned to his wife and said, "Honey, would you pick up that pen for me?"

A father and son went fishing one day. After a couple hours out in the boat,
the boy suddenly became curious about the world around him. He asked his father,
"How does this boat float?"
The father thought for a moment, then replied, "I don't rightly know, son."
The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned back to his father,
"How do fish breath underwater?"
Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son."
A little later the boy asked his father, "Why is the sky blue?"
Again, the father replied. "Don't rightly know, son."
Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says, "Dad, do you mind my asking
you all of these questions?"
"Of course not, son. If you don't ask questions ... you'll never learn anything!"

Carlos was making one of his frequent visits to the Convent San
Tanco in his town of San Juan. He was raised by the sisters there when
left an orphan and he still enjoyed the company of the sisters,
and it renewed his faith a bit to watch them in their devotions. Today he was
giving Captain Gaspar Fomento, the local constable, a ride to the
convent when he mentioned he needed to talk to the Mother Superior.
Carlos parked outside the convent and struck up a conversation with
Sister Ana who was working in the garden while Captain Fomento went into
the convent. While chatting with the novice he glanced up and saw a
startling sight.
"What in the world is that, sister?" he asked, pointing skyward. Sister
Ana looked up and saw what looked like a large white gull flying in the
sky.
"Oh, it is only a bird," she replied.
"No, no! It is a person! Look closer!" Carlos demanded emphatically.
Sister Ana looked again and gasped. It's Sister Bertrille! The tiny
nun has once again had her cornette caught by the strong winds of San
Tanco and has taken to the air, soaring on the updrafts. Sister Ana
thought a moment and decided to tell Carlos the truth.
"Carlos, it is Sister Bertrille. She is something of a flying nun, you
may say. She is so light that when the winds are strong enough she is
lifted into the air for a time."
"But she is so high up! Won't she fall to her death?!" he exclaimed.
"I do not think so. She has gotten quite good at flying in her time here. Plus, God watches out for ones like her."
"Ah, that explains how she managed to get to the balcony at my casino
that day when no one saw her come in!" he smiled. It was amazing,
watching her swoop and soar through the air, one hand on her head
holding her "wings" in place.
Carlos continued to marvel at the flying figure far above him. Soon
Captain Fomento left the convent and returned to the car. Carlos was
still craning his neck at the now tiny speck high in the sky, and so the
captain looked up, too.
"What are you looking at, Ramirez?" he asked, squinting against the bright sun.
Carlos liked the small sister and was afraid of what the overly
officious Fomento might do if he found out she was zooming through the
air around the town. Fomento would probably jail her for flying without
a license.
"Oh, nothing much," Carlos replied. "It's just a nun-identified flying object."

Breakfast” so he walked in and sat down. The waitress brought him his
coffee and asked him what he wanted.
“What’s your ‘Unique Breakfast?’” he asked.
“Baked tongue of chicken,” she replied.
“Baked
tongue of chicken?… Do you have any idea how disgusting that is? I
would never even consider eating anything that came out of a chicken’s
mouth!” he fumed.
Undaunted, the waitress asked, “What would you like then?”
“Just bring me scrambled eggs,” the man replied.

marry a football player who was known primarily for his lack of IQ and
common sense.
He
turned to his wife with a look of question on his face. “I’ll never
understand why the biggest jerks get the most attractive wives.”
His wife replies, “Why thank you, dear!”.

Did you hear about the TV weatherman who, despite his training and sparkling credentials, ran into a terrible unlucky streak?
He
became something of a local joke. The town’s newspaper began keeping a
record of his predictions. A year later, the paper reported that he’d
been wrong almost three hundred times in a single year.
Unable to handle the pressure, the station manager fired him.
So
the meteorologist moved far away and applied for another job as a TV
weathermen. When he got to the question on the application about why he
had left his last job, he wrote, “The climate didn’t agree with me.”

young player ran onto the field to take his position, the boy pointed at
him and said to his girlfriend, “Keep an eye on that fellow. I expect
him to be our best man next year.”
His girlfriend snuggled closer to him and said, “That’s the strangest proposal I ever heard, but I accept!”.

the meal, the older woman asked her niece to deposit her paycheck at
the bank where the girl worked. She told her aunt she would be happy to,
however on her way back to work, the girl’s purse was snatched.
“Help, help,” she screamed at a passing cop. “That man has taken my aunt’s pay - he’s taken my aunt’s pay!”
“OK, lady,” said the cop. “Cut out the pig latin and tell me exactly what happened.”

The guy answers, “My wife is up there watching me from the clubhouse. I want to make this a perfect shot.”
“Forget it, man, you’ll never hit her from here!”

During its heyday, the Wells Fargo Company employed a number of specialized
stagecoaches such as one with a church for Sunday operation. One of the
more popular models featured a darkroom on board, so passengers who took
pictures could have them processed en route and the prints delivered at their
destination.
One day a stagecoach equipped with a darkroom was headed for Wichita when,
passing through a small town, it was intercepted by the local marshall, who
said, "Halt in the name of the law!"
"What's the problem?" the stagecoach driver asked.
"You should know that the operation of a mobile darkroom is illegal in Kansas,"
the marshall said.
At this point two psychologists on horseback arrived on the scene. One of
them said, "I suppose what we have here is a classic case of the Oedipus
complex."
The other said, "No, it's much simpler than that -- it's just an arrested stage
of development."

Many years ago, a baker's assistant called Richard the Pourer, whose
job it was to pour the dough mixture in the making of sausage rolls,
noted that he was running low on one of the necessary spices. He sent
his apprentice to the store to buy more.
Unfortunately, upon arriving at the shop, the young man
realized that he had forgotten the name of the ingredient. All he could
do was to tell the shopkeeper that it was for Richard the Pourer, for
batter for wurst.

"We both know you're not the brightest spark here, Joey," he said, "but over the last five years you've never been sick or late and I think you deserve a reward. So, how does a brand new car sound?"
"Vrooom, vroooom," Joey replied.

Paul got off
the elevator on the 40th floor
and nervously knocked on his blind
date's door. She opened it and
was as beautiful and charming as everyone
had said.
"I'll be
ready in a few minutes," she said. "Why don't you play
with Rollo
while you're waiting? He does wonderful tricks. He rolls
over, shakes
hands, sits up, and if you make a hoop with your arms, he'll
jump
through."
The dog followed Paul onto the balcony and started
rolling over. Paul
made a hoop with his arms and Rollo jumped through
-- and over the
balcony railing.
Just then Paul's date walked out.
"Isn't Rollo the cutest, happiest dog you've ever seen?"
"To tell the the truth," he replied, "he seemed a little depressed
to me."
