An architect, an artist, and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress.
The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship.
The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, "I like both."
"Both?" asked the architect and artist in unison.
The engineer replied, "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume that you are spending time with the other woman, so you can go to the office and get some work done."
Tired of being a golf widow, a woman took up the game and wound up playing with her husband on a country course one day. He hit his drive way off into the rough, behind a barn. She came over to take a look, surveyed the situation, and suggested that if he opened both barn doors he could hit his ball straight through the barn to the green.
He saw this as an excellent idea, complimented her for her suggestion, then opened the doors and stepped up to the ball. He made a swing and great contact. Unfortunately, the ball was off line, careened off the door frame, hit the wife in the head and killed her.
Years went by, the man finally remarried, and this time found himself a golfer for a wife. Incredibly, the same situation occurs. The man is in the rough behind the same barn. His new wife took a look at his ball and suggested that he could make the green if he opened both barn doors and hit through the barn.
"No way," he replied. "I can't do that."
"Why not?" she asked.
He responded, "The last time I did that something terrible happened."
"What?" she asked.
The man answered, "I got a double bogey."
I'll keep it short because once again I've nothing funny to add (although on the bright side it makes everyone else's jokes look funnier). Briefly on this subject, historical fiction etc. One of the best films I've ever seen is called The Other Conquest, set about 10 years after the fall of Tenochtitlan. I don't think it ever found proper distribution, but if you're interested in that period of history, it's well worth checking out. Still no sign of a DVD release but more info at http://www.theotherconquest.com/site/home.htmlCuriousGranny wrote:http://www.garyjennings.net/
Sorry, yes, I am talking about Gary Jennings...I was just excited to know someone else knew about his writing. lol
The doctor took Dan into the room and said,
"Dan, I have some good news and some bad news."
Dan said, "Give me the good news."
"They're going to name a disease after you."
A welsh farmer buys several sheep, hoping
to breed them for wool.
After several weeks, he notices that none
of the sheep are getting pregnant,
and phones a vet for help. The vet tells
him that he should try artificial
insemination. The farmer being welsh
doesn't have the slightest idea what
this means but, not wanting to display
his ignorance, only asks the vet how
he will know when the sheep are pregnant.
The vet tells him that they will
stop standing around and instead will lie
down and wallow in grass when they
are pregnant.
The man hangs up and gives it some thought.
He comes to the conclusion that
artificial insemination means he has to
impregnate the sheep himself. So, he
loads the sheep into his Land Rover,
drives them out into the woods, has sex
with them all, brings them back, and
goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes and
looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they
are all still standing around, he
deduces that the first try didn't take,
and loads them in the Land Rover
again. He drives them out to the woods,
bangs each sheep twice for good
measure, brings them back, and goes to
bed exhausted.
Next morning, he wakes to find the sheep
still just standing round. "Try
again." he tells himself, and proceeds to
load them up, and drive them out
to the woods. He spends all day shagging
the sheep and upon returning home,
falls listlessly into bed. The next morning,
he cannot even raise himself
from the bed to look out of the window.
He asks his wife to look, and tell him if
the sheep are lying in the grass.
"No," she says, "they're all in the Land Rover,
and one of them is beeping the horn."
A man goes to the confessional and says, "Forgive me Father, for
I have sinned."
"What is your sin, my child?" The Priest asks.
"Well," the man starts, "I used the 'F'-word today and I feel so
terrible."
"Why don't you tell me what happened. What made you use such
awful language?" asked the Priest.
"Well, I was out golfing and I hit this incredible drive that
looked like it was going to go over 250 yards, but the ball hit a
phone line hanging over the fairway and fell straight down to the
ground after going about 100 yards."
"I'm a golfer myself my son" said the Priest "I understand what
you were feeling. So this is when you swore?"
"No Father," said the man,
"You see, after that a squirrel ran out of the bushes and grabbed
my ball in his mouth and began to run away."
"And this is when you swore?" asked the Father again.
"No not yet. Just as the squirrel was running away, this eagle
came down out of the sky and grabbed the squirrel in his talons
and began to fly away!"
"And it was then that you swore?" asked the amazed Priest.
"No, not yet," replied the man, "Just as the eagle was flying
away with the squirrel he flew towards a wooded area next to the
green. And as he passed over it, the squirrel dropped my ball."
"Did you swear then, my son?" asked the now impatient Priest.
"No, because as the ball fell it struck a tree, bounced through
some bushes, careened off a big rock, and then rolled through a
sand trap and on to the green and stopped dead six inches from
the hole!" told the man.
The priest sighed,
"You missed the fucking putt, didn't you!!
