A cop is staking out a bar for drunk drivers. At closing time, he sees a guy stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and fumble for his keys for 5 minutes. When he finally gets in, it takes him another five minutes to get the key in the ignition. Meanwhile, everybody else leaves the bar and drives off. When he finally pulls away, the cop is waiting for him, pulls him over, and gives him a breathalyzer test. The test shows he has a blood alcohol level of 0.0. The cop says, “How is this possible?” The guys replies, “Tonight I’m the designated decoy.”

We had a light test today on a light sale. Quality was average. There was decent buyer interest.

Right before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, make sure that you raise your left leg. That way you start off the New Year on the right foot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me: It’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up.

Cop: Yeah, that’s not how field sobriety tests work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The officer said, “You’re staggering.”

I said “You’re quite handsome yourself.”

We just laughed and laughed... I need bail money.

This is a true story of a poor dizzy blonde flying in a two-seater airplane with just the pilot. The pilot has a heart attack and dies. She frantically calls out a Mayday. *Mayday! Mayday! Help me! Help me! My pilot had a heart attack and is dead and I don*t know how to fly. Help me, please, help me!* She hears a voice come over the radio saying: *This is Air Traffic Control and I have you loud and clear. I will talk you through this and get you back on the ground. I have had a lot of experience with this kind of problem. Now, just take a deep breath. Everything will be fine! Now give me your height and position.* She says, *I*m 5'4" and I*m in the front seat.* (pause) *Ok* says the voice on the radio....*Repeat after me: Our father who art in heaven....*

  • A lady lost her handbag in the bustle of Christmas shopping. It was found by an honest little boy and returned to her. Looking in her purse, she commented, "Hmmm.... That's funny. When I lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills."
    The boy quickly replied, "That's right, lady. The last time I found a lady's purse, she didn't have any change for a reward."

As we were putting out cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve, I accidentally dropped one. "No problem," I said, picking it up and dusting it off before placing it back on the plate.

"You can’t do that," argued my four-year-old.

"Don’t worry. Santa will never know."

He shot me a look. "So he knows if I’ve been bad or good, but he doesn’t know the cookie fell on the floor?"
