Nurses Revenge

Four nurses all decided to play a joke on the doctor they worked for, whom they all felt was an arrogant jerk. Later in the day, they all got together on break and discussed what they had done to the doctor.

The first nurse said, “I stuffed cotton in his stethoscope so he couldn’t hear.”

The second nurse said, “I let the mercury out of his thermometers and painted them all to read 106 degrees.”

The third nurse said, “Well, I did worse than that. I poked holes in all of the condoms that he keeps in his desk drawer.”

The fourth nurse fainted.

One last try

Scene: A court room in Oklahoma where a person is on trial for murder. There is strong evidence indicating guilt; however, there is no corpse.

In the defense’s closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client is guilty and that it looks like he’ll probably be convicted, resorts to a clever trick.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all,” the lawyer says as he looks at his watch. ‘Within 1 minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this court room,’ he says and he looks toward the courtroom door. The jury, somewhat stunned, all look on eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.

Finally the lawyer says: ‘Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty.’

The jury, clearly confused, retires to deliberate.

A very few minutes later, the jury returns and a representative pronounces a verdict of guilty.

“But how?” inquires the lawyer. “You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.”

Answers the representative: “Oh, we did look. But your client didn’t.”

Est�n un cirujano, un ingeniero

Est�n un cirujano, un ingeniero y una inform�tica discutiendo acerca de cu�l es la profesi�n m�s antigua del mundo:

El m�dico dice: “Pues est� claro: Dios cre� a la mujer con una costilla del hombre, una operaci�n quir�rgica exquisita, entonces los cirujanos somos los primeros.”

El ingeniero: “Qu� va,qu� va, antes del hombre exist�a el caos, pura desorganizaci�n y va Dios y con una maestr�a extraordinaria hace un proyecto de ingenier�a asombroso y crea el universo, por tanto la Ingenier�a es la profesi�n m�s antigua.”

Dear Abby: My husband is a liar and a cheat

Dear Abby:
My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from
the beginning. When I confront him, he denies everything.
What’s worse is everyone knows he cheats on me. It is so
humiliating!

Also, since he lost his job two years ago, he hasn’t even
looked for a new one. All he does is sit around the living
room in his underwear and watch TV while I work to pay the
bills.

And since our daughter went away to college he doesn’t even
pretend to like me. He keeps calling me a lesbian.

What should I do?

Signed, Clueless

Dear Clueless:

Dump him. You’re a New York Senator now. You don’t need him
anymore.

Abby

You go right in and apologize to her! Tell her you’re sorry!”Little Johnny entered the living room, walked over to his aunt and said, “Aunt Tess, I am sorry you’re so ugly.”

Church for this drunk

A man sobering up from the night before is sitting through the Sunday sermon, finding it long and boring. Still feeling hung over and tired, he finally nods off. The priest has been watching him all along, noticing his apparent hangover and is disgusted. At the end of the sermon, the preacher decides to make an example of him. He says to his congregation, “All those wishing to have a place in heaven, please stand.” The whole room stands up except, of course, the sleeping man. Then the preacher says even more loudly, “And he who would like to find a place in hell please STAND UP!” The weary man catching only the last part groggily stands up, only to find that he’s the only one standing. Confused and embarrassed he says, “I don’t know what we’re voting on here, Father, but it sure seems like you and me are the only ones standing for it!”

The Telepathic Watch!

A rather confident man walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his watch for a moment.

The woman notices this and asks, “Is your date running late?”

“No”, he replies, “I just bought this state-of-the-art watch and I was just testing it.”

The intrigued woman says, “A state-of-the-art watch? What’s so special about it?”

“It uses alpha waves to telepathically talk to me,” he explains.
“Oh really? What’s it telling you now?” she inquires.
“Well, it says you’re not wearing any panties…”

The woman giggles and replies, “Well it must be broken then, because I am wearing panties!”

And the man starts tapping on the watch face and says,
“Damn thing must be an hour fast!”
