A guy goes into a restaurant/lounge wearing a shirt open at the collar
and is met by a bouncer who tells him he must wear a necktie to gain
admission. So the guy goes out to his car and he looks around for a
necktie and discovers that he just doesn't have one. He sees a set of
jumper cables in his trunk. In desperation he ties these around his
neck, manages to fashion a fairly acceptable looking knot and lets
the
ends dangle free. He goes back to the restaurant and the bouncer
carefully looks him over for a few minutes and then says, "Well, OK, I
guess you can come in - just don't start anything."
 
 
 
 

A honeymoon couple is in the Watergate Hotel in Washington. The
bride is concerned "What if the place is still bugged?" The groom says
"I'll look for a bug."

He looks behind the drapes, behind the pictures, under the rug "AHA!"
Under the rug was a disc with four screws. He gets his Swiss army knife,
unscrews the screws, throws them and the disc out the window.

The next morning, the hotel manager asks the newlyweds "How was
your room? How was the service? How was your stay at the Watergate
Hotel?"

The groom says, "Why are you asking me all of these questions?"

The hotel manager says, "Well, the room under you complained of the
chandelier falling on them!"
 
 
 
 

A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch
at McDonald's. He noticed that they had ordered one meal,
and an extra drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman
artfully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the
fries, one for him, one for her, until each had half of them.

Then he poured half of the soft drink into the extra cup and
set that in front of his wife. The old man then began to eat,
and his wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her lap.

The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to
purchase another meal for them so that they didn't have to
split theirs.

The old gentleman said," Oh no. We've been married
50 years, and everything has always been and will
always be shared, 50/50."

The young man then asked the wife if she was going to
eat, and she replied, "It's his turn with the teeth."

Three guys were fishing in a lake one day, when Jesus walked
across the water and joined them in the boat. When the three
astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the 1st guy
asked humbly, "Jesus, I've suffered from back pain ever since
I took shrapnel in the Vietnam War ... Could you help me?"
"Of course, my son," Jesus said, and when he touched the man's
back he felt relief for the first time in years. The 2nd guy who
worevery thick glasses and had a hard time reading and driving ,
asked if Jesus could do anything about his poor eyesight. Jesus
smiled, removed the man's glasses and tossed them into the lake.
When they hit the water, the man's eyes cleared and he could see
everything distinctly.

When Jesus turned to the 3rd guy, the guy put his hands out
defensively -- "Don't touch me!" he cried, "I'm on a disability
pension."

Two college seniors had a week of exams coming up. They decided to
party instead. Their biggest exam was on Wednesday and they showed up
telling the professor that their car had broken down the night before
due to a very flat tire and they needed a bit more time to study.
The professor told them that they could have another day to study.
That evening, both of the boys crammed all night until they were sure
that they knew just about everything.

Arriving to class the next morning, each boy was told to go
to two separate classrooms to take the exam. Each boy just
shrugged and went to two different parts of the building.
As each sat down, they read the directions:
"For 5 points, explain the contents of an atom. For 95 points,
tell me WHICH tire it was!"
