Six retired Floridians play high stakes poker in the condo clubhouse.
During an especially high-stake game, a member of the group, Ron, loses $5,000 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table from a heart attack.
Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five finish playing the hand standing up.
Abraham looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna' tell his wife?"
They cut the cards, and Saul "wins" the dubious honor. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, not to make a bad situation any worse.
"Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name," he says. Leave it to me."
Saul goes over to the Meiers' apartment and knocks on the door. Ron's wife answers the door.
"Yes? What do you want, Saul? And where's my good-for-nothing husband?" She asks.
Saul gulps. "Ron just lost $5,000 playing poker," He says, "and is afraid to come home."
"WHAT?!?" Screams the wife in disbelief. "Tell him to drop dead!"
"Can do!"
A lady is trotting down the road in her horse and buggy when she is pulled over by the sheriff.
"Ma'am, I have to warn you, you have a broken stake on your wheel," says the sheriff.
"Oh dear. I'll let my husband, Jacob know as soon as I get home," she replies.
"That's fine," he continues. "Another thing, ma'am... I don't like the way that one rein loops across the horse's back and around one of his testicles. I consider that terrible cruelty to the animal. Have your husband take care of that right away."
The woman thanks him and drives home.
Later that day, the lady is home telling her husband about her encounter with the sheriff.
"Well, dear, what exactly did he say?" asked the husband.
"He said a stake is broken," replied the lady.
"I can fix that in a heartbeat. Said the husband. "What else?"
The wife replied: "I'm not sure, Jacob - something to do with the emergency brakes."
A police officer was on patrol at night and saw two men fighting in the middle of the street in front of a house. He flashed his police lights, hopped out the car and pulled the two men apart. He cuffed them both and sat them apart from each other on the sidewalk.
โEnough! Explain what is going on here.โ The policeman said to the first man.
โWell,โ the first man sighed, โIt all started a few nights ago when I thought my girlfriend was cheating on me. I came round to her place to surprise her and found her watching a movie with two suspiciously empty pizza boxes next to her. She said she was just hungry, but who the hell orders two large pizzas to themselves?โ
โA valid point,โ the policeman nodded.
โAnyway,โ the first man continued, โI decided to stake out her house. So Iโm waiting here out in the street, watching to see if anyone goes into that pink house on the other side of the road. I have my mate at the pizza shop deliver me a pizza while I wait. Everythingโs quiet and Iโm just about to start eating my pizza. Until I see that dickhead over there come creeping around the side of the house.โ
โThat man over there?โ The policeman asked.
โYes! So naturally I confronted him and he denied seeing my girl. Next thing you know weโre in the middle of a brawl and then you arrive.โ
The policeman thought for a moment, then undid the cuffs.
โHereโs the deal, give me your pizza and Iโll let you drive away with a warning.โ
The first man nodded grumpily, hopped in his car and drove off.
The policeman placed the pizza in his car and then walked over to the second man.
โThat guy says you sleeping with his girlfriend,โ the policeman stated.
โI did no such thing!โ The second man roared.
โSo what were you doing?โ The policeman asked.
โWell...โ The second man mumbled, "darn, you'll catch me anyways when you search me. Alright I was trying to rob the place!"
โThatโs hardly any better,โ the policeman replied.
โThe windows were locked up tight, so I decided to give up. Next thing I know some guy is screaming at me, saying Iโm having a thing with his girl. We ended up in a fight. Then you turn up.โ
โEmpty your pockets,โ the policeman said.
The second man pulled out lockpicking tools, a skeleton key and a pair of diamond earrings from the last house he had robbed.
โIโll take those,โ the policeman said, โBut because Iโm in a good mood, Iโll let you go.โ
The second man couldnโt believe his luck. He skipped away down the street.
Suddenly, the lights at the front of the house turned on. A woman came marching out,
โWhat the hell is going on out here?!โ She asked the police officer.
The policeman turned around,
โNothing babe, just got you a pizza and some new jewelry.โ
An arrogant professor boards a plane and gets a seat beside an old man.
Mid-flight, the professor decides to play a game with the old man and prove heโs intellectually superior, so he turns to him and says: โHey, do you want to play a little game with me?โ The old man looks at him and says: โDepends. What type of game?โ
The professor goes on to explain the game: โTaking turns, weโll ask each other one question at a time. If the other knows the answer, the asker gives him one dollar, and if he doesnโt, he gives one dollar to the asker. Want to play?โ The professor grins, knowing his general knowledge is vastly superior.
To his dismay, the old man refuses! Determined to make him agree, the professor raises the stakes for him.
โIf I lose, I โll give you two dollars instead of one!โ
โNo.โ
โFive dollars!โ
โNo.โ
โTen dollars!โ
โI told you, no.โ
Desperate, the professor makes one final offer: โIf I lose, Iโll give you a hundred dollars, and if you lose youโll only give me one!โ The professor pleads. The old man ponders this, then sighs. โOnly if I get to startโ, and the professor immediately agrees. โAsk awayโ, the professor says, confident heโll never lose.
The old man asks: โWhat has five heads, forty feet, and lives inside of a bucket?โ
The professor turns the riddle over in his head, trying to find anything that fits the description. After an hour of intense concentration, the professor gives up. Grumbling, he pulls out his wallet and gives the old man $100. He wastes no time and asks him: โSo what has five heads, forty feet, and lives inside of a bucket?โ
The old man smiles and says: โIโve got no idea. Hereโs your dollar."To enable your Ad-Free Subscription, please fill the fields below
