The Swiss

“The Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knife they have to fight with? Not much of a weapon there. Corkscrews. Bottle openers. ‘Come on, buddy, let’s go. You get past me, the guy in back of me, he’s got a spoon. Back off. I’ve got the toe clippers right here.’ (Jerry Seinfeld)

Watching the game

A mother was walking down the hall when she heard a humming sound coming from her daughter’s bedroom.

When she opened the door she found her daughter naked on the bed with a vibrator.

‘What are you doing?’ she exclaimed.
The daughter replied, ‘I’m 35 and still living at home with my parents and this is the closest I’ll ever get to a husband.’

Later that week the father was in the kitchen and heard a humming sound coming from the basement. When he went downstairs, he found his daughter naked on the sofa with her vibrator.

‘What are you doing?’ he exclaimed.
The daughter replied, ‘I’m 35 and still living at home with my parents and this is the closest I’ll ever get to a husband.’

A couple of days later the mother heard the humming sound again, this time in the living room. Upon entering the room, she found her husband watching television with the vibrator buzzing away beside him.

She asked, ‘What are you doing?’
He replied, ‘Watching the game with my son-in-law.’
