A wife went to the police station with her next door neighbor to report that her husband was missing. The policeman asked for a description. She said, “He’s 35 years old, 6 foot 4, has dark eyes, dark wavy hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, is soft-spoken, and is good to the children.”

The next-door neighbor protested, “Your husband is 5 foot 4, chubby, ugly, has a big mouth, and is mean to your children.”

The wife replied, “Yes, but who wants HIM back?”

 

The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said, ”You had a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket theater seats . It worked like a charm. The front of the church always fills first now.”

The young priest nodded, and the old priest continued, ”And you told me adding a little more beat to the music would bring young people back to church, so I supported you when you brought in that rock ‘nroll gospel choir. Now our services are consistently packed to the balcony.”

”Thank you, Father,” answered the young priest. ”I am pleased that you are open to the new ideas of youth.”

”All of these ideas have been well and good,” said the elderly priest, ”But I’m afraid you’ve gone too far with the drive-thru confessional.”

”But, Father,” protested the young priest, ”my confessions and the donations have nearly doubled since I began that!”

”Yes,” replied the elderly priest, ”and I appreciate that. But the flashing neon sign, ‘Toot ‘n Tell or Go to Hell’ cannot stay on the church roof!”

In the late 1900’s, Howard Hughes bought an entire casino named The Silver Slipper just so he could tear down their neon sign. This was because the sign was visible from Hughes’ bedroom and it was keeping him awake at night.

After American physicist Richard Feynman was named the world’s smartest man by  Omni Magazine, his mother was actually quoted as saying, “If that’s the world’s smartest man, God help us.”

There’s a popular variation of  “Yo Momma” type jokes in Kenya that goes a little something like this: “Your family is so stupid you gave your chickens hot water so they can lay boiled eggs.”

Twenty-year-old Kiran Cable from South Wales was with his girlfriend so much that his friends said he actually disappeared from their lives. So much so, that after eighteen months of unreturned calls and emails, fifty of Cable’s friends decided to surprise him with a mock funeral that included a coffin, a hearse, and a eulogy.

As a result of a decades old prank, there’s a tradition in Glasgow of placing a traffic cone on the head of the Duke of Wellington Statue.  The cost of removing the cones cost an estimated $ 11,000 a year.

The cat in the clouds

Clyde, a fluffy white kitty, went viral on X when his owner, Amanda Hyslop, posted a photo she’d taken of him. By chance, she’d managed to catch his reflection perfectly in the window while photographing clouds, making it appear that the cloud-like cat had ascended to his rightful throne in the sky.

“Took a pic of the cat lookin’ out the window and accidentally turned him into some sort of god,” she tweeted. People loved Clyde’s regal pose. He hasn’t let the 1.1 million likes go to his head.
