** A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus.  She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her.  She immediately moved to another seat.  This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.  The man seemed more amused.  When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.  The case came up in court.  The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.  The man replied, “Well your Honor, it was like this: when the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition.  She sat down under a sign that said, “The Double Mint Twins are coming,” and I grinned.  Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, “Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling,” and I had to smile.  Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, “William’s Big Stick did the Trick,” and I could hardly contain myself.  But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, “Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!”…I just lost it.”  “CASE DISMISSED!!”

** My 35-year old son and I had just finished our meal when I realized I’d left my wallet in my truck.  As I headed out the door, I told the waitress what had happened.  “But don’t worry, I said with a grin. “I’m leaving my son for collateral.”  She looked at him.  He winked at her. She turned back to me.  “What else you got?”

Morris, an 82 year old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous woman on his arm. A couple days later the doctor spoke to Morris and said, “You’re really doing great, aren’t you?”

Just doing what you said Doc! Get a hot mama and be cherrful!” The doctor said, “I didn’t say that. What I said was; You’ve got a heart murmur. Be careful!”

**A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror.  Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she’d like to have for her birthday.  I’d like to be eight again, she replied, still looking in the mirror.  On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and took her to Adventure World theme park.  What a day!  He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was.  Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park.  Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.  He then took her to a McDonald’s where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.  Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M’s.  What a fabulous adventure!  Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.  He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, “Well Dear, what was it like being eight again?”  Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.  “I meant my dress size, you idiot!!!"

**A woman brings a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon.  As she lays her beloved pet duck on the table, the vet puts his stethoscope to the bird’s chest and listens carefully.  A moment later the vet shakes his head and says sadly, “I’m sorry mam, but your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”  The woman becomes quite distressed and begins to cry.  “Are you sure?”  she says with tears flooding from her eyes.  “Yes mam, I am sure” the vet responds,  “Your duck is definitely dead.”  “But how can you be so sure?”  the woman protests.  “I mean, you haven’t done any testing on him or anything have you?  Perhaps he’s just stunned or in a coma or something.”  The vet rolls his eyes, then turns around and leaves the room.  A few minutes later he returns with a black Labrador Retriever.  As the duck’s owner looks on in amazement, the Labrador stands on his hind legs, puts his front paws on the examination table and sniffs around the duck from top to bottom.  He then looks up at the vet with sad eyes and shakes his head.  The vet pats the dog on the head and takes it out of the room.  A few minutes later the vet returns with a cat.  The cat jumps on the table and delicately sniffs at the bird from it’s head to it’s feet.  After a moment the cat looks up, shakes it’s head, meows softly and strolls out of the room.  The vet looks at the woman and says, “Look mam I’m really sorry, but as I said before, this is most definitely a duck that is no longer of this world.  Your duck is dead.”  The vet turns to his computer terminal, hits a few keys and produces a bill, which he hands to the woman.  The duck’s owner, still in shock, looks at the bill and see’s it is $150.  “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!” she shrieks with incredulity.  The vet shrugs his shoulders and says, “I’m sorry mam.  If you’d taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20.  However with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now $150.

**A woman brings a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon.  As she lays her beloved pet duck on the table, the vet puts his stethoscope to the bird’s chest and listens carefully.  A moment later the vet shakes his head and says sadly, “I’m sorry mam, but your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”  The woman becomes quite distressed and begins to cry.  “Are you sure?”  she says with tears flooding from her eyes.  “Yes mam, I am sure” the vet responds,  “Your duck is definitely dead.”  “But how can you be so sure?”  the woman protests.  “I mean, you haven’t done any testing on him or anything have you?  Perhaps he’s just stunned or in a coma or something.”  The vet rolls his eyes, then turns around and leaves the room.  A few minutes later he returns with a black Labrador Retriever.  As the duck’s owner looks on in amazement, the Labrador stands on his hind legs, puts his front paws on the examination table and sniffs around the duck from top to bottom.  He then looks up at the vet with sad eyes and shakes his head.  The vet pats the dog on the head and takes it out of the room.  A few minutes later the vet returns with a cat.  The cat jumps on the table and delicately sniffs at the bird from it’s head to it’s feet.  After a moment the cat looks up, shakes it’s head, meows softly and strolls out of the room.  The vet looks at the woman and says, “Look mam I’m really sorry, but as I said before, this is most definitely a duck that is no longer of this world.  Your duck is dead.”  The vet turns to his computer terminal, hits a few keys and produces a bill, which he hands to the woman.  The duck’s owner, still in shock, looks at the bill and see’s it is $150.  “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!” she shrieks with incredulity.  The vet shrugs his shoulders and says, “I’m sorry mam.  If you’d taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20.  However with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now $150.
