The guy who invented the throat lozenge passed away. There will be no coffin at the funeral.

My friend told me to cheer up. He said I could be stuck underground in a hole full of water. He means well.

To the guy who invented the zero I just want to say thanks for nothing.

Paraprosdokians

The first time I heard about paraprosdokians, I liked them. Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected and is frequently humorous (Winston Churchill loved them).

1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you ... but it's still on my list.

3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

5. We never really grow up -- we only learn how to act in public.

6. War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

9. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

10. In filling out an application, where it says, "In case of emergency, notify... " I answered " a doctor."

11. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

13. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

15. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.

16. You are never too old to learn something stupid.

17. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

18. I went to town to buy some batteries, but they weren’t included.

"Don't you know who I am? I am the king!" Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."

Cheerios

A 6 year old and a 4 year old are raking the yard and the 6 year old says, “You know what? I think it’s about time we started learning to cuss. “The 4 year old nods his head in approval. The 6 year old continues, “When we go in for breakfast, I’m gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass.” The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.

When their mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6 year old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, “Aw, hell, Mom I guess I’ll have some Cheerios.” WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His mom locks him in his room and shouts. “You can stay there until I let you out!”

She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4 year old and asks with a stern voice, “And what do you want for breakfast, young man?”  “I don ‘t know, “he blubbers, “but you can bet your fat ass it won’t be Cheerios!”

Tonsils Vs. Circumcision

Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to each other outside the operating room, the first surgeries of the day. The first kid leans over and asks, “What are you in here for?” The second kid says, “I’m getting my tonsils out, and I’m afraid.”

The first kid says, “You’ve got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-o and ice cream. It’s a breeze.’” The second kid then asks, “What are you here for?”

The first kid says, “Circumcision.” “Whoa!” the second kid replies, “Good luck, buddy. I had that done when I was born. Couldn’t walk for a year.”

An age old question from Denny...

"I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but when it did it was poultry in motion!"

Advice from Denny...

"Always borrow money from a pessimist. They don't expect to be paid back."

Another Observation from Denny...

"It's sad how Wile E. Coyote is remembered for his violence, and not for his brilliantly realistic paintings of tunnels."

These are actual warning labels:

On a salt packet - WARNING contains salt. Darn! I wanted sugar!
On a can of aerosol cheese - For best results remove cap. But then my hair gets messed up.

On a dog medicine - Alcohol may intensify the effects. At least my dog is a happy drunk.
On a letter opener - safety goggles recommended. Hard hat, too?
On a travel pillow - Do not use while sleeping. Let me sleep on that one and get back to you.
On a disposable razor - Do not use in an earthquake. Well don't you want to look good for FEMA?
On a can of tuna - CAUTION: contains fish. Hear that Jessica Simpson?
