The Silent Treatment

"Wake Up"

shared by, Julie.


Silent, but deadly . . .

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.  Suddenly the man realized that the next day he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00am for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00am and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00am. Wake up."

The Lone Ranger & Tonto


"What you see?"

shared by, Peter


The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert.   After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep.   Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see? 
 
"The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars."  

"What that tell you?" asked Tonto.  

The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says,   "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be Approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.  Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.   What's it tell you, Tonto?" 
 
"You dumber than buffalo chip. It mean someone stole tent."

Liver and Cheese


Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street . . .

shared by, Wheenk!


Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing, female poodle. The three male dogs fall all over themselves in an effort to be the one to reach her first, but end up arriving in front of her at the same time. The males are speechless before her beauty, slobbering on themselves and hoping for just a glance from her in return.

Aware of her charms and her obvious effect on the three suitors, she decides to be kind and tells them, "The first one who can use the words 'liver' and 'cheese' together in an imaginative, intelligent sentence can go out with me."

The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up quickly and says, "I love liver and cheese."

"Oh, how childish," said the Poodle. "That shows no imagination or intelligence whatsoever."

She turns to the tall, shiny Golden Retriever and says, "How well can you do?"

"Umm...I hate liver and cheese," blurts the Golden Retriever.

"My, my," said the Poodle. "I guess it's hopeless. That's just as dumb as the Lab's sentence."

She then turns to the last of the three dogs and says, "How about you, little guy?"

The last of the three, tiny in stature but big in frame and finesse, is the Taco Bell Chihuahua. He gives her a smile, a sly wink, turns to the Golden Retriever and the Lab and says,

"Liver alone. Cheese mine."

Forrest Gump Goes to Heaven

The day finally arrives. Forrest Gump goes to heaven.

shared by, Julie.


"Run Forrest, Run!"

The day finally arrives. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed, Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.

St. Peter says, "Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."

Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."

St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test are only three questions:

  1. What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
  2. How many seconds are there in a year?
  3. What is God's first name?"

Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, "Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers."

Forrest replies, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begin with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow."

The Saint's eyes open wide and he exclaims, "Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?"

"How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder," replies Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."

Astounded, St. Peter says, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"

Forrest replies, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd…"

"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind...but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?

"Sure," Forrest replies, "it's Andy."

"Andy?" exclaims an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter. "Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"

"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replies. "I learnt it from the song, "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN . . . "

St. Peter opens the Pearly Gates, and says: "Run Forrest, run."

Three Little Old Ladies


Three old ladies were discussing getting older . . .

shared by, Wheenk!


Three older ladies were discussing the travails of getting older.

One said, “Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand in front of the refrigerator and I can’t remember whether I need to put it away or start making a sandwich.”

The second lady chimed in, “Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs and I can’t remember whether I was on my way up or on my way down.”

The third one responded, “Well, I’m glad I don’t have that problem – knock on wood.” She rapped her knuckles on the table and said, “That must be the door. I’ll get it.”
