A Rabbi, a Hindu and a
Lawyer were traveling together and experienced a miscalculation which landed
them, as night fell, in the proverbial middle of nowhere...with only a
family farm in sight.
Politely, the three gentlemen knocked at the farmhouse door and explained
their predicament to the farmer who, a kind and trusting soul, offered them
shelter for the night. "The only problem", said he, "is that I
have but two extra beds in the house. This means that one of you must sleep in
the barn." Grateful for such hospitality shown to three strangers, each
of the weary travelers volunteered for the barn but it was the Rabbi who
insisted. And so, while his companions took up lodging in the farmhouse, the
Rabbi headed for the barn.
However, about twenty minutes later, there was a knock at the farmhouse door. It was the Rabbi. "Kind sir", said he, addressing the farmer, "I am so sorry...but there is a pig in that barn and my religion forbids me to sleep under the same roof as such an animal." Oh that's OK," the Hindu spoke up, "I'll gladly take your place in the barn and you may have my bed."
And so, everyone settled in for the night...but twenty minutes later there was another knock at the farmhouse door. It was the Hindu. "Generous sir", said he to the farmer, "There is a cow in that barn and my religion forbids me to sleep under the same roof as such an animal." "Oh that's OK," the Lawyer interrupted, "I'll be happy to take your place in the barn and you may have my bed."
And so, for the third time, everyone in the farmhouse got settled...but there was yet one more knock at the door!
It was the pig and the cow.

...this husband and wife, after seven years of marriage, both agreed that the vitality had gone out of their sex life. Wanting to do better, they visited a marriage counselor. The counselor assured them that such ennui was but a perfectly normal phase within a mature relationship and he offered some time-tested advice:
"You've fallen into a rut! You need to bring some spontaneity back into your love life! Don't confine your lovemaking to the same old place at the same old time! The next time you look at each other and can remember that old fire...fergodsakes, don't wait! GO for it! You'll be surprised at the difference it will make!"
Inspired by this homily, the man and woman ended the counseling session and promised to return in two weeks to report on their progress.
Two weeks went by and the couple appeared at their appointed time. They were clearly aglow.
"Well, how did it go?", asked the counselor.
"Terrific!", exclaimed the husband.
"Wonderful!", nodded the wife.
"Tell me about it.", said the counselor.
"The other night, we were having dinner. We looked at each other...and it happened! We both had the same idea at the same time and we remembered what you told us. So we just WENT for it! We tore each other's clothes off and had beautiful, exciting sex right there on the dinner table!"
"Well...great!", said the counselor.
"Only one problem...", said the woman.
"Oh...what's that?"
"We're not allowed in Denny's any more."

A
mother passing by her daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was
nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope propped up
prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed, "Mom." With
the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter with
trembling hands:
Dear Mom,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing to you. I had to elope with
my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I've
been finding real passion with John and he is so nice-even with all his
piercings, tattoos, beard, and his motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the
passion mom, I'm pregnant and John said that we will be very happy. He already
owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.
He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too.
John taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it
for us and trading it with his friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.
In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so John can
get better; he sure deserves it!!
Don't worry Mom, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself.
Some day I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your
grandchildren.
Your daughter,
Judith
PS: Mom, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card
that's in my desk center drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me
to come home.

When I was a pimply-faced high school junior, I called Mary to ask her to go to the Prom with me...she said "No."
I said, "Ah, Mary. Why not?"
She said, "Do you want the truth or do you want the reason I was going to give you?"
I said, "Well…what was the reason you were going to give me?"
"You're ugly, your mother dresses you funny, you smell bad, your breath would knock the flies off a dump truck and you have no personality!", she answered.
"Oh God, Mary!", I whimpered. "Then what's the truth?"
She replied, "I already HAVE a date for the Prom!"
