Joke: The Tough Biker and the suicidal girl
A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about to jump off a bridge so they stop.
The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to commit a suicide," she says.
While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity he asked "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a Kiss?"
So, she does and it was a long, deep lingering kiss.
After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best Kiss I have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous. Why are you committing suicide?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl"

Joke: How to stop the rabbi from leaving
At the regular Saturday morning service, the rabbi announced that he was planning to leave for a larger congregation that would pay him more.
There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave, because he is so popular.
Fred Shapiro, who owns several car dealerships in Newton and Brookline , stands up and proclaims "If the rabbi stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every year, and his wife with a Honda mini-van, to transport their children!"
The congregation sighs in appreciation and applauds.
Saul Cohen, a successful businessman and lawyer, stands and says, "If the rabbi will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary, and establish a foundation to guarantee a free college education for his children!"
More sighs and loud applause..
Estelle Rubin, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the rabbi stays, I will give him sex!"
There is total silence.
The rabbi, blushing, asks her: "Mrs. Rubin, you're a wonderful and holy lady. Whatever possessed you to say that?"
Estelle's 90-year old husband, Abe, is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand, and shaking his head from side to side, while his wife replied:
"Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said: "Fuck him."

Joke: Blush or not
A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her tomatoes to turn red.
One day, while taking a stroll, she came upon a gentleman neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes.
The woman asked the gentlemen, "What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?"
The gentlemen responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden, naked in my trench coat, and flash them. My tomatoes turn red from blushing so much."
Well, the woman was so impressed; she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work.
So twice a day for two weeks she flashed her garden hoping for the best.
One day the gentleman was passing by, and asked the woman, "By the way, how did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?"
No", she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous."

Joke: Golfers ... watch out for those holes !!
A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her.
One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag."
"Oh really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back and see if I can find them.. Thanks for telling me officer."
"Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. Where did you get all that money? You didn't steal it, did you?"
"Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next to the Golf course. On Golf days, a lot of Golfers come and pee through a knot hole in the fence, right into my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, 'why not make the best of it?"
So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, 'O.K., buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes.'
"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing. "OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"
"Well, you know", said the little old lady, "not everybody pays."

Joke: Threesome
I ended up with an older woman at a club last night.
She looked pretty good for a 65-year-old.
In fact, she wasn't too bad at all, and I found myself thinking that she probably had a really hot daughter.
We drank a couple of beers, and she asked if I'd ever had a Sportsman's Double?
'What's that? I asked. 'It's a mother and daughter threesome,' she said.
As my mind began to embrace the idea, and I wondered what this daughter of hers might look like, I said, 'No, I haven't.'
We drank a bit more, then she said with a wink, "tonight's your lucky night."
We went back to her place. We walked in.
She put on the hall light and shouted upstairs:
'Mom, you still awake?'

Joke: Mellow Old Age OR Old Age is a Bitch
An elderly senior couple were invited to an old friends home for dinner one evening. She was impressed by the way her lady friend preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms such as: Honey, My love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.
While the husbands were in the living room, the hostess leaned over to her friend to say, 'I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your husband all those loving pet names'.
The elderly lady hung her head. 'I have to tell you the truth,' she said, 'His name slipped my mind about 10 years ago and I'm scared to death to ask the cranky old bastard what it is.'

The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the flight attendant.
So the boy went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant, 'If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?'
The busy flight attendant smiled and said, 'Did your Mother tell you to ask me?'
The boy said, 'Yes, she did.'
'Well, then, you go and tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you."

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his nappy.

Joke: What are the odds?
Joe, a lonely widower, was walking home wishing something wonderful would happen when he passed a pet shop and heard a voice squawk: "Hey, you, Mister, why don't you come in and buy me?" Joe couldn't believe it.
He entered the store, looked at the bird and said: "You speak English?"
"What did you think, Korean?" the parrot answered
Joe had placed $600 down on the counter and carried the parrot in his cage away with him. All night he talked with the parrot, talking about his lonely life. The parrot told him how lonely it was to live in a cage. They became good friends.
Next morning, Joe, before he ate his breakfast, read aloud a page from the Bible. The parrot demanded to know what he was doing and when Joe explained, the parrot wanted also to read a page from the Bible. So Joe went out and ordered a miniature Bible for the parrot.
On Sunday, Joe went to his church and demanded that the parrot could come in and pray to. The Minister refused, saying a church was no place for a parrot. But Joe insisted, saying that the parrot would pray out aloud, since he was a talking parrot. He would also sing hymns.
None of the worshippers believed Joe, and they bet Joe at even odds that the parrot could not say his prayers nor sing a hymn. Thousands of dollars were bet. During the services, the parrot perched on Joe shoulder and did not open his mouth. He neither prayed nor sang hymns. After the services were concluded, Joe found that he owed his buddies over $4,000.
He paid. He marched home, quite upset. After several blocks the bird began to recite the 2nd Psalm. Joe stopped and looked at him. "You miserable bird, you cost me over $4,000. Why? Haven't I been good to you? Is this how you repay me?"
"Don't be a fool," the parrot replied. "Think of the odds next Sunday when you take me to church."
