My wife was pregnant

Larry goes to see his travel agent.
“Hey Larry, going away on holiday again?”
“Yes but I need to ask for something different”
“Go ahead ask me”
“You know last year you suggested Hawaii and when I returned my wife was
pregnant”
“Yes but…”
” And the year before you suggested Bermuda and when I returned my wife was
pregnant”
“Yes but.”
” And the year before that when I went to Bali and when I returned my wife was
pregnant”
” Yes”
“Well! Could you suggest something cheaper this year so that I can bring her
with me?”

Grandpa is fine.

A man goes to visit his 85-year-old grandfather in the hospital.
“How are you grandpa?” he asks.
“Feeling fine,” says the old man.

“What’s the food like?”
“Terrific, wonderful menus.”

“And the nursing?”
“Just couldn’t be better. These young nurses really take care of you.”

“What about sleeping? Do you sleep OK?”
“No problem at all — nine hours solid every night. At 10 o’clock they ring me a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet … and that’s it.I go out like a light.”

The grandson is puzzled and a little alarmed by this, so rushes off to question the Sister in charge. “What are you people doing,” he says, “I’m told you’re giving an 85-year-old Viagra on a daily basis. Surely that can’t be true?

“Oh, yes,” replies the Sister. “Every night at 10 o’clock we give him a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet. It works wonderfully well.

The hot chocolate makes him sleep, and the Viagra stops him from rolling out of bed!”

Government Cutbacks

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.

Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night.” So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So they created a planning department and hired two people: one person to write the instructions and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?” So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people: one to do the studies and one to write the reports.

Then Congress said, “How are these people going to get paid?” So they created the following positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer, and then hired more people.

Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all of these people?” So they created an administrative section and hired three people: an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget. We have no choice but to cutback overall cost.”

So they laid off the night watchman!

7-UP

I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after my wife had gone into
labor and the nurse walked out and said to the man sitting next to me,
“Congratulations sir, you’re the new father of twins!”
The man replied, “How about that, I work for the Double mint Chewing Gum
Company.” The man then followed the woman to his wife’s room.
About an hour later, the same nurse entered the waiting room and announced
that Mr. Smith’s wife has just had triplets.
Mr. Smith stood up and said, “Well, how do ya like that, I work for the 3M
Company.”
The gentleman that was sitting next to me then got up and started to leave.
When I asked him why he was leaving, he remarked, “I think I need a breath of
fresh air.”
The man continued, “I work for 7-UP.”

Brave Old Firemen

One dark night outside a small town, a fire started inside the local chemical plant. Before long it exploded into flames and an alarm went out to fire Departments from miles around. After fighting the fire for over an hour, the chemical company president approached the fire chief and said, “All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved! I will give $50,000 to the engine company that brings them out safely!” As soon as the chief heard this, he ordered the firemen to strengthen their attack on the blaze. After two more hours of attacking the fire, president of the company offered $100,000 to the engine company that could bring out the company’s secret files.

From the distance a long siren was heard and another fire truck came into sight. It was a local volunteer fire company composed entirely of men over 65. To everyone’s amazement the little fire engine raced through the chemical plant gates and drove straight into the middle of the inferno. In the distance the other firemen watched as the old timers hopped off of their rig and began to fight the fire with an effort that they had never seen before. After an hour of intense fighting the volunteer company had extinguished the fire and saved the secret formulas. Joyous the chemical company president announced that he would double the reward to $200,000 and walked over to personally thank each of the volunteers.

After thanking each of the old men individually the president asked the group what they intended to do with the money. The fire truck driver looked him right in the eye and said – “The first thing we’re going to do is fix the blasted brakes on that truck!”
