Clean Humor

by Dianne

While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room.  As she went to the  receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone and silent. Just as I was thinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother's lap and walked over to the wheelchair.  Placing his hand on the man's, he said, I know how you feel.  My mom makes me ride in the stroller too..'  

*****

As I was nursing my baby, my cousin's six-year-old daughter, Krissy, came into the room.  Never having seen anyone breast feed before, she was intrigued and full of all kinds of questions about what I was doing.  
After mulling over my answers, she remarked,  
'My mom has some of those, but I don't think she knows how to use them..'  

*****

Out bicycling one day with my eight-year-old granddaughter, Carolyn, I got a little wistful. 'In ten years,' I said, 'you'll want to be with your friends and you won't go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now.  Carolyn shrugged.  'In ten years, you'll be too old to do all those things  anyway.'

******

Working as a pediatric nurse, I had the difficult assignment of giving immunization shots to children..  
One day, I entered the examining room to give four-year-old Lizzie her  needle. 'No, no, no!' she screamed.  'Lizzie,' scolded her mother,  'that's  
not polite behavior.'  With that, the girl yelled even louder, 'No, thank  you!  No, thank you!

******

On the way back from a Cub Scout meeting, my grandson innocently said to my son, 'Dad, I know babies come from mommies' tummies, but  
how do they get there in the first place?'  After my son hemmed and hawed awhile, my grandson finally spoke up in disgust, 'You don't have to  make up something, Dad.  It's okay if you don't know the answer.'

*****

Just before I was deployed to Iraq , I sat my eight-year-old son down and broke the news to him.  'I'm going to be away for a long time,' I told him.  'I'm going to Iraq .'  'Why?'  he asked. 'Don't you know there's a war going  
on over there?'

*****

Paul Newman founded the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for children stricken with cancer, AIDS, and blood diseases. One afternoon, he and  is wife, Joanne Woodward, stopped by to have lunch with the kids.  A counselor at a nearby table, suspecting the young patients wouldn't know Newman was a famous movie star, explained, That's the man who made this camp possible. Maybe you've seen his picture on his salad dressing bottle?'  Blank stares. 'Well, you've probably seen his face on his lemonade carton.'  An eight-year-old girl perked up.  'How long was he missing?'

*****

... and my personal favorite ...God's Problem Now:  

His wife's graveside service was just barely finished, when there was a  
massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of  lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance.  The little, old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, "Well, she's  there."

Good morning Tina....

These are funny..cute...sweet..or combos of 2 or more of those choices.

The last one brings back the memory of my Fathers service last September....can the devil make thunder and lightning too?

Then you read on and this is the ACTUAL deal...

Residents can pick up one free rose each at the store's new location, 3808 S. Texas Ave. in Bryan, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

See this just starts the day off wrong! 83 dozen roses I can do something with! But what am I supposed to do with one stinkin' rose!?

Hi...MICHAEL: Thanks for the warning. I have been off melons for a few weeks now. I went for my annual physical yesterday and my dr wrote down some "to do" items for me. She wrote to eat more cantaloup and bananas. Sheesh!!!!

Morning TINA: I have to agree with MICHAEL that it is time to change that avatar picture....maybe back to George or someone!

SHIRLEY: You are splatting all over the place again today. At least you are hopefully not shi.... all over the place. I noticed yesterday that you worked. I thought you just had to do that during tax season.

JODI: How is your MIL doing after that hip surgery? Hope your son is well now too. DON'T GET SICK!!! You have much to much fun ahead for you a week from today. Are you packed yet? That time came up so quick from when you made your first plans.

Well, I am off to a lunch with my niece today so thanks for comments and hope you all enjoy the jokes.

ZONA: I really got a laugh from your Walmart one yesterday. You are right....I will always think of that when entering Walmart now.

Just_Lin said...

Tina Good moaning. I got up while it was still morning, but just barely. Didn't wake up until nearly 11:00. I thought I was very tired all day yesterday. Guess I was right.

Just_Lin said...

Michael How many sunbeams did Jesus want Tina for?

By the way, you know what they say....A rose in the hand is worth 83 dozen at the florist's shop.

Dianne Thanks for the cute jokes. I liked the last one best. Oh, and always wash your melons. That's my pearl of wisdom for the day.

Just_Lin said...

Shirley I don't know why that last joke would remind you of our dear, sweet Tina. Maybe it was the "clap". Bwahahahah!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Dianne I work on Tuesdays in the off season. We do book work for some clients and it has increased in volume from last year, so I am needed on Tuesdays.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Just Lin if I believed in heaven I can just imagine Tina stirring up a dust cloud when she arrived and saw Michael!

Unknown said...

Shirley thinks I'd go to heaven!!!

Unknown said...

Hi, everybody! Remember when the owls were the night owls, and everybody was up and commenting late?

Oh well. Dianne, very funny! Tina, have you seen the figures on deficit spending in recent Republican versus Democrat administrations... Shirley, WHOMP, Michael, Listeria? Would that be a Lane? Also, don't forget the words of the artist we once again address as Prince: When the elevator tries to bring you down, GO CRAZY! Punch a higher floor!

J/L: Congrats on 25, you tedious thang! LOL!
