Favorite Quick Jokes

-
Thought of my father and his quick wit... some of his classic quick jokes:

Joke #1

"Ass" is in the Bible - he once told me.

"Prove it," I said.

"It was one of the miracles," he answered. "Moses tied his ass to a tree and walked 3 miles."

Joke #2 - Man is in the hospital and his doctor comes to visit - "I have good news and bad news," he says.

"Give me the bad news," the man replies.

"We had to amputate both of your feet."

"My God," the man says - "What can possibly be the good news?"

The doctor answers - "The man in the next bed wants to buy your boots."

Joke #3 - A man is passing by a herd of sheep - he goes to the shepherd - "I hear that sheep are a lot like women," he says.

"It's unbelievable," the shepherd responds.

"Do you mind if I have relations?"

"Be my guest," the shepherd says.

A little while later the man comes back and says to the shepherd - "To be honest, it wasn't that great."

The shepherd responds - "What do you want, you picked the ugliest one."

Joke #4 - Man goes to the funeral director - "I'm here to bury my wife," he says.

The funeral director is perplexed - "Didn't I bury your wife a couple of years ago?"

The man says - "I recently got remarried."

The funeral director replies - "Oh, Congratulations!"

(My mother still doesn't understand that joke).

Finally,

Joke #5

Doctor goes to the bedside once more. "I have good news and bad news," he tells his patient.

"Give it to me straight, doc. What's the bad news?"

"You have terminal cancer and just 3 weeks to live."

"What could possibly be the good news?" the patient asks.

"Did you see my beautiful secretary?" the doc asks.

"Why yes," the man replies.

"I'm sleeping with her," the doc answers, "and I'm telling everyone."

Suits

-
Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
