True Football Fan

Recently, I was at a professional football game supporting
my favorite team. My seat wasn’t the greatest, so when I
noticed a vacant seat on the fifty yard line 10 rows up, I
headed towards it. I asked the man sitting next to it if
the seat was taken. He replied, “No”.
I started talking to the man and I learned he owned the
seat I was in. He said, “My wife use to love to come to
these games until she died.”

“Why didn’t you give this seat away to a friend?” I asked.

He replied, “Because they are all at her funeral.”

Full of shit

There was a fly buzzing around a barn one day when he came across a pile of fresh cow manure. Due to the fact that it had been hours since his last meal, he flew down and began to eat.

He ate and ate and ate. Finally, he decided he had eaten enough and tried to fly away. He had eaten too much though and could not get off the ground.

As he looked around wondering what to do, he spotted a pitchfork leaning up against the wall. He climbed to the top of the handle and jumped off, thinking that once he got airborne, he would be able to take flight.

Unfortunately he was wrong, and dropped like a rock, splatting when he hit the floor. Dead.

The moral to the story is never fly off the handle when you know you’re full of shit.

THE LOCK

The temporary Sunday school teacher was struggling to open a combination lock
on the supply cabinet. She had been told the combination, but couldn’t quite
remember it. Finally she went to the pastor’s study and asked for help.
The pastor came into the room and began to turn the dial. After the first two
numbers he paused and stared blankly for a moment. Finally he looks serenely
heavenward and his lips moved silently. Then he looked back at the lock, and
quickly turned to the final number, and opened the lock.
The teacher was amazed. “I’m in awe at your faith, pastor,” she said.
“It’s really nothing,” he answered. “The number is on a piece of tape on the
ceiling.”

Wheres Afgahnistan?

(Someone I Know Told Me This)
Its around 2304 and a boy and his son is walking through New
York. The dad stops and goes “Son, right here where I am
standing was where the World Trade Centers were.” the son
asks…”Dad what is the World Trade Center and what happened to
it?” the dad replies…”Well, it was two tall buildings that
went up to the sky and this fucking gay ass son of a bitch named
Osama Bin Laden, sent people out to destroy is by having a plane
fly into each building.” (he demonstrates with his hands)and he
continues on…”Osama lived in Afgahnistan and thats where we
kicked his ass.” the boy curiously asks “Daddy, where is
Afgahnistan?”
