Half a year later he sees the old man at the bank in line ahead of him. The doctor says, "You're really doing great, aren't you?" "Just doing what you told me, Doctor. Get a hot mamma and be cheerful." "I didn't say that... I said, You've got a heart murmur, be careful..." "Too late!" -------------------- Well, I got the cheerful part, but still looking for a hot mamma, or at least a warm one. ___________________________________________________ Yes, it is snowing, but only outside. ___________________________________________________ If You Can Spare A Coin, Please Hit Paypal With It! ___________________________________________________ A class from a nearby university was visiting a major drug manufacturer. The tour guide led the students to a glass- enclosed room. They could see several people in white lab coats. With her back to the glass, the guide announced: "In this room researchers are actively searching for a cure for cancer." She stopped short as the group broke out laughing. Puzzled, the guide turned to look. Through the glass she saw three scientists in animated debate, flipping through a Domino's pizza menu. ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Tamara for this: Falol Crokus ___________________________________________________ A political pollster knocked on the door and a sour-faced lady answered.

DearWebby _______________________________________________________ The Israeli Army major was used to word-wars with the hot- shot Israeli Air Force fliers about crazy Army Tzanhanim (Paratroopers) jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft. "Obviously the Air Force knows there's no such thing as a 'perfectly good aircraft,'" the irritated officer said during an exercise, "because they pay you Air Force schmucks four times as much to stay in one, as the Army pays its men to jump." "You've got it all wrong, Major," the Air Force sergeant replied. "The Army figures anyone stupid enough to jump out of an airplane voluntarily is too dumb to kvetch about the salary." ----------- Actually jumping is fun and a lot more people pay for it than get paid for it. _________________________________________________ Who said men don't communicate well?
