Best staff member

The boss is finally old enough to retire from the company. On his last day of work, he ordered a farewell party for himself.

The boss wanted everyone to express their good feeling about him by writing on the farewell card, so later he could remember how his staff “miss” him.

Most people are writing standard phrases like, “Without you, the company will never be the same,”

“We will always remember you,” etc.

Obviously the boss was not satisfied.

“I need something from the bottom of your heart, something really touching, you know. Okay, John, you have been working with me for the last 20 years. You are my best staffmember. I am retiring now. What do you have to say?”

Slowly but firmly, John wrote, “THE BEST NEWS IN 20 YEARS.”

Confession — 3

An old man goes into the confessional and says to the priest, “Father, I’m 80 years old, married, have four kids and 11 grandchildren, and last night I had an affair with two 18 year old girls. I made love with both of them twice.”
The priest said: “Well, my son, when was the last time you were in confession?”

“Never Father, I’m Jewish.”

“So then, why are you telling me?”

“I’m telling everybody.”

Up in Heaven

A petty thief, a teacher and a lawyer die and go to heaven.

When they get there they are stopped by St. Peter, who then says, “Sorry,
heaven’s crowding up, so you need to answer a question correctly, or else you
can’t get in.”

He looks at the teacher, and asks her: “What was the name of the famous
ocean-liner that sank after hitting an iceberg?”
“Oh, that’s easy,” the teacher replied, “the Titanic.” So St. Peter let her
into heaven.

Next he turned to the petty thief. “How many people died on that ship?” St.
Peter asked. “Oooh, that’s tough, but I saw the movie, and it was 1,500.” St.
Peter stepped away and the thief walked into heaven.

Finally, St. Peter turned to the lawyer.
He simply said to him: “Name them.”

The damn ham

Once there was a preacher’s wife who went into a bakery and asked the butcher waht the daily special was. He said it was the “damn ham.”

She immediatly started yelling at the top of her lungs.

“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT I’M THE PREACHER’S WIFE!”

The butcher was totally taken back by this while he wimpered, “Oh, no ma’am it’s called the ‘damn ham.'” She bought one of the hams.

Later that day when the preacher got home he smelled the ham cooking and asked his wife what it was. She replied that it was the “damn ham.” He also immediatly started yelling at the top of his lungs.

“HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT I’M THE PREACHER!”

She was also taken back by this and wimpered that it was the “damn ham.”

At dinner that night they were eating dinner with their kids and they, too, asked what this delicoius meal was. Their father (the preacher) said that it was the “damn ham.”

Their son was quite happy with this. In fact he said, “That’s the spirit, Dad, now pass the fucking potatoes.”
