Lucille decided to give herself a big treat for her 40th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00.
She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!"
The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it.
She insisted on speaking to the Manager. A very handsome Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use."
"But I didn't use them."
'Well, they are here, and you could have." He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here."
"But I didn't go to any of those shows.."
"Well, we have them, and you could have."
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.
After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check.
"But Madam, this check is for only $50.00"
"That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me."
"But Madam, I didn't sleep with you"
Well I was here and you could have!
Thank you guys! I really thought I was watching and missed it. I tried not to repeat anything. I know you all were funning with me! 🙂 guess I need to go back, no telling what else I may have missed. 😋
Mrs. Goldberg hasn’t been feeling well, so she goes to the doctor. He listens to her extensive list of concerns, performs the examination, and returns with three bottles of pills.
“When you wake up, please take 3 green pills with a big glass of water. Then take 4 blue pills with a big glass of water before lunch, and then 2 more blue pills with a big glass of water after lunch. Then just before going to bed, take 5 red pills with another big glass of water.”
“That’s a lot of pills! Doctor, be honest with me. What exactly is my diagnosis?”

Funny thing is he has copied a number of mine.

No way, its not mine anyhow, seriously, go back and check.
Gosh hammer1 just relax i was seriously funning with bearcave.
And truth be told its just unfair to talk about my undies on a public forum.
This thread is so long, it's not worth the time to check to make sure that you're posting something original. If I think the post is funny, I give it a lol. If I remember seeing the joke in a previous post, I skip the lol. No big deal.
I'm not sure why anybody would care if your post is reposted. Once it gets buried, very few people are going to see it, so its not like their stealing your lols (lol)
Here's a pic of my cat trying to attribute some German notgeld an she's upset because she realized the book isn't in English.
A guy was stopped for speeding and the officer was having nothing to do with letting the guy off. As they talked, little bugs kept flying around the officer. He said something about them being annoying and the speeder said, "You usually see them around a horses ass." The cop quickly replied, "Are you calling me a horses ass?" "Oh, no sir came the reply.........but it's hard to fool them bugs though."

Yesterday my son e-mailed me again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time. "Like sitting around the pool, drinking beer isn't a good thing?” I asked. “I served 20 years in the Army; I deserve a break.”
Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be his favorite topic of conversation. He is “only thinking of me," he said, and suggested I go down to the clubhouse and hang out with the guys.
I did and when I got home, decided to play a prank on him.
I sent him an e-mail saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club since I did that in the army.
He replied, "Are you nuts? You're 86-years-old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes again?"
I told him that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to him.
Immediately, he telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses?! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club.
"Oh man, am I in trouble," I said, "I signed up for five jumps a week!"
The line went dead.
Life as a Senior Citizen isn't getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.
On the recent Alex Trebek thread here, the old comedian Jack Benny came up, for smoe reason. One of Benny's perennial self-parodies was that he was a notorious cheapskate.
It reminded me of the classic Benny joke:
Benny's walking down the street, and a robber comes up and holds a gun to Benny's face:
Benny opened up his first radio appearance this way: “Hello, folks, this is Jack Benny. There will be a slight pause while everyone says, ‘Who cares?'”
Another radio bit: Benny the tightwad is approached by an armed robber while walking home. The man says, “This is a stickup. Your money or your life.” There is a long pause. The armed man speaks, “I said your money or your life!” Benny replies, “I’m thinking! I’m thinking!”
On marriage: “My wife, Mary, and I have been married for 47 years and not once have we had an argument serious enough to consider divorce. Murder, yes, but divorce, never.”
On his professed stinginess: “I must be cheaper now than I was 10 years ago in order to get a laugh. It’s not funny now if I leave the table and give the waiter a nickel tip, which was a laugh years ago. Today I must maneuver it so that somehow I get the waiter to give me a nickel tip.”
He always loved a good one-liner. Among them: “A cannibal is a guy who goes in the restaurant and orders the waiter,” and, “A rich man is one who isn’t afraid to ask the salesperson to show him something cheaper.”
Other well-known Benny lines: “Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter,” and “Gags die. Humor doesn’t.”
And just a few more quick-hit jokes: “Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air,” and “I went to see one of those X-rated pictures the other night, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. So I stayed to see it a second time.”
On Abraham Lincoln: “Any man who would walk five miles through the snow, barefoot, just to return a library book so he could save three cents — that’s my kind of guy.”
While being honored at a ceremony: “I don’t deserve this award, but I have arthritis and I don’t deserve that, either.”
A geology expert was being chauffeur driven to his next lecture at Stanford. The driver spoke up and said, "It just isn't very fair, you make 10 times what I make and I can give that talk as well as you and I bet you can't even drive this car."
The expert replied, "Pull over, we're going to change identities and your going to give that lecture. If you do well, I'll give you $1,000 if not, you owe me $100. "Deal" said the chauffeur.
The expert, now dressed as a chauffeur, drove the car flawlessly the rest of the way to Stanford.
Well, the chauffeur got through the speech quite well, but then a moderator came on stage and said, as agreed upon, the talk was now open to questions and answers. The first obviously sharp student stood up and asked a very complicated question.
The stunned chauffeur scratched his head and shifted his weight from one foot to the other, but with a grin he replied, "When I agreed to speak here, I never expected such an elementary question from such a learned audience. Just to show how elementary this question is, I'm going to let my chauffeur take this one, he's standing there in the back of the room!"

Farmer Brown had 3 lovely daughters. The daughters announce to their father they are going out on dates that night. Farmer Brown agrees under the condition that he gets to talk to each of the young men first.
The first young man knocks on the door and Farmer Brown answers the door with his shotgun and says, "What is your business young man?" to which the young man replies, "My name is Eddie, I'm her for Betty, we're going to have spaghetti, is she ready?" The farmer decides Eddie is OK, gives his consent, and Betty and Eddie take off.
The next young man knocks on the door. Farmer Brown answers the door with his shotgun and says "What do you want?" and the young man says, "My name is Joe, I'm here for Flo, we're going to the show, is she set to go?" The farmer looks him over carefully, decides he's OK and off run Joe and Flo.
Finally the last young suitor knocks on the door. Farmer Brown growls, "What do you want?" to which he replies, "My name is Chuck..." and Farmer Brown shoots him.
The National Poetry Contest had come down to two finalists: a Yale graduate and a redneck from Montana. They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word they were given was "Timbuktu".
First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:
Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked a lonely caravan.
Men on camels, two by two
Destination---Timbuktu.
The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:
Me and Tim a-huntin went,
Met three gals in a pop up tent.
They was three, and we was two,
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
An 80-year-old Italian goes to the Doctor for a check-up.
The Doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and as sharp as a tack;
“How do you stay in such great physical condition?”
“I'm Italian and I am a golfer,” says Frank, “and that's why I'm in such good shape.
I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways.
I have a glass of vino, and all is well.”
“'Well' says the Doctor, “I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it.
How old was your Father when he died?”
"Who said he was dead?"
The doctor is amazed. “You mean you're 80 years old and your Father's still alive.
How old is he?'
“He's 100 years old,” says Frank. “In fact he golfed
with me this morning, and then we went to the topless beach for a walk
and had a little vino and that's why he's still alive. He's Italian
and he's a golfer, too.”
“Well,' the doctor says, “that's great, but I'm sure
there's more to it than that. How about your Father's Father? How old
was he when he died?”
“Who said my grandfather's dead?”
Stunned, the doctor asks, “You mean you're 80 years old
and your grandfather's still living! Incredible, how old is he?”
“He's 118 years old,” says the Old Italian golfer.
The doctor is getting frustrated at this point,
“So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?”
“No, No he couldn't go this morning
because he's getting married today.”
At this point the doctor is close to losing it. “Getting
married? Why would a 118 year- old guy want to get
married?
“Who said he wanted to?”
