A man and a woman were married for many years. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, *When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!* The neighbors feared him, and the man took pride in this. One evening he died at the age of 98. After the funeral, her neighbors asked the widow, *Aren*t you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?* The widow said, *Let him dig! I had him buried upside down, and I know he won*t stop and ask for directions.*

~~Did some financial planning, and it looks like I can retire at 62 and live comfortably for eleven minutes.
~~Been married 20 years, but I still carry my wife*s picture in my wallet. Whenever I face difficulties in life, I take out my wallet and stare at her picture. It comforts me knowing that if I survived being married to this psycho, I can survive anything.

A singles ad that appeared in the Atlanta Journal:
Single black female seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I am a very good looking girl that loves to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping, fishing trips, and cozy winter nights by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I*ll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me.
Call: xxx-xxx-xxxx ask for Daisy.
Over 1,500 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society about an 8-week old black labrador retriever.

Last Wednesday, a passenger was in a taxi heading to the airport. She leaned forward to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up on the curb and stop just inches from hitting a storefront window. For a few minutes, everything was silent in the cab.
Then, the shaking driver said, *I am so sorry, are you ok? You scared the daylights out of me!* The badly shaken passenger  apologized to the driver and said, *I didn*t realize a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so badly.*
The driver replied, *No, no. I*m the one who is sorry. It*s entire my fault.  Today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been driving a hearse for 25 years.*
