PERFECT HUSBAND Several men
PERFECT HUSBAND
Several men are in the locker room at the golf club. A mobile phone
on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker function and
begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: 'Hello'
WOMAN: 'Darling, it's me. Are you at the club?'
MAN: 'Yes'
WOMAN: 'I am at Bluewater and I've found this beautiful leather
coat. It's only $2,500. Is it OK if I buy it?'
MAN: 'Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.'
WOMAN: 'I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership on the way here
and saw the new 2011 Models. I saw one I really liked.'
MAN: 'How much ?'
WOMAN: '$185,000’
MAN: 'OK, but for that price please make sure you haggle for all the
optional extras.'
WOMAN: 'Great ! Oh, and one more thing...the house I wanted last
year is back on the market. They're asking $3,750,000.
MAN: 'Well, if you still like it that much, why not make an offer of
$3.7mill. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50
thousand if you think it's worth it.'
WOMAN: 'OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!'
MAN: 'Bye! I love you, too.'
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at
him in astonishment, mouths agape.
He turns and asks:
"Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"…
The Woman Marine Pilot
The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their stories.
There were all the regular types of stuff: Spilled milk and pennies saved. But then the teacher realized, much to her dismay, that only Janie was left.
"Janie, do you have a story to share?"
'Yes ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Mommy. She was a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife.
She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi troops. She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."
''Good Heavens,' said the horrified teacher. What did your Daddy tell you was the moral to this horrible story?"
"Don't mess with Mommy when she's been drinking."
I love these touching stories!
Dear God
Dear God
So far today I’ve done alright.
Not once today
have I lost my temper.
Not once today
have I gossiped.
Not once today
have I been greedy or grumpy.
Not once today
have I been nasty, selfish, or impatient.
But in a few minutes dear Lord,
I have to get out of bed.
And from then on,
I’m going to need a lot more help.
Amen.

Interesting that Obama wanted to cut $4B, and raise taxes on the rich (including himself), but no, no, no, no...
I find the American perspective quite amusing.

Idle Thoughts
....I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know what to feed it.
....I had amnesia once -- or twice.
....Protons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic.
....All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
....If the world was a logical place, men would be the ones who ride horses sidesaddle.
....What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free?
....They told me I was gullible... and I believed them.
....Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.
....One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.
....My weight is perfect for my height -- which varies.
....I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
....The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.
....How can there be self-help "groups"?
....Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants off.
....Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken?
Ole joke
Lena called the airlines information desk and inquired, "How long does it take to fly from Minneapolis to Fargo ?" "Just a minute," said the busy clerk. "Vell, said Lena , "If it has to go dat fast, I tink I'll just take da bus."
***
The judge had just awarded a divorce to Lena , who had charged non-support.
He said to Ole, "I have decided to give your wife $400 a month for support."
"Vell, dat's fine, Judge," said Ole. "And vunce in a while I'll try to chip in a few bucks, myself."
***
Lars asked Ole, "Do ya know da difference between a Norvegian and a canoe?"
"No, I don't," said Ole "A canoe will sometimes tip," explained Lars.
***
Ole is so cheap that after his airplane landed safely he grumbled, "Vell,
dere gose five dollars down da drain for dat flight insurance!"
***
Lars: "Ole, stant in front of my car and tell me if da turn signals are working."
Ole: "Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, No...."
***
Ole died. So Lena went to the local paper to put a notice in the obituaries.
The gentleman at the counter, after offering his condolences, asked Lena what she would like to say about Ole. Lena replied, "You yust put 'Ole died."
The gentleman, somewhat perplexed, said, "That's it? Just 'Ole died'?
Surely, there must be something more you'd like to say about Ole. If it's
money you're concerned about, the first five words are free. We must say
something more." So Lena pondered for a few minutes and finally said, "OK. You put 'Ole died. Boat for sale.'"
***
Ole and Lars were on their very first train ride. They had brought along
bananas for lunch. Just as they began to peel them, the train entered a
long, dark tunnel. "Have you eaten your banana yet," Ole asked excitedly? "No," replied Lars.. "Vell, don't touch it den," Ole exclaimed. "I yust took vun bite and vent blind!"
***
Ole bought Lena a piano for her birthday. A few weeks later, Lars inquired how she was doing with it. "Oh," said Ole, "I persuaded her to svitch to a clarinet."
"How come," asked Lars?
"Vell," Ole answered, "because vith a clarinet she can't sing."
***
Ole and Lena went to the Olympics. While sitting on a bench a lady turned to Ole and said, "Are you a pole vaulter?" Ole said, "No, I'm Norvegian and my name isn't Valter."
***
Ole was stopped by a game warden in Northern Wisconsin recently leaving a
lake well known for its Walleyes. He had two buckets of fish.
As it was during the spawning season, the game warden asked, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?" Ole replied, "No, sir! Dese here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?" the warden replied. "Ya sure, you betcha." answered Ole. "Every night I take dese fish here down to da lake and let dem svim around for a while. Den I vhistle and dey yump back into der buckets and I take dem home." "That's a bunch of hooey. Fish can't do that." Said the game warden. Ole looked at the game warden with an expression of great hurt, and then said, "Yumpin Yimminy! Vell den, I'll just show you den. It really does vork, don'tcha know? "O.K. I've got to see this!" The game warden was really curious now. So Ole poured the fish into the lake and stood waiting. After several minutes, the game warden turned to Ole and said, "Well?" "Vell what?" responded Ole. "When are you going to call them back?" "Call who back?" asked Ole. "The fish!" "What fish?"
***
To those in North Dakota , Minnesota , and for that matter the rest of the
country, including Canada , I must report the sad news that Ole was shot. He
was up by the Canadian border on his 4-wheeler cutting some trees when some rangers looking for terrorists spotted him. According to the news reports, the rangers shouted to him over a loudspeaker, "Who are you and what are you doing?" Ole shouted back, "OLE..... BIN LOGGIN'!" Ole is survived by his wife Lena and Lena's good friend Lars.

A Male Fairy Tale:
Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?"
The Princess said, "No!!!"
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and banged
skinny long-legged big-tittied chicks and
hunted and fished and raced cars and went to naked bars and dated women half
his age and
drank whiskey, beer and Captain Morgan and never heard bitching and never
paid child support or alimony and
banged cheerleaders and kept his house and guns and
ate spam and potato chips and beans and blew enormous farts and
never got cheated on while he was at work and all his friends and family
thought he was frickin' cool as hell and
he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.
The End.

Someone Had to Remind Me.
Someone had to remind me,
So I'm reminding you, too.
Don't laugh.... It is all true!
Perks of reaching 50
Or being over 60
And heading towards
70 or beyond!
1.
Kidnappers are not very
Interested in you.
2.
In a hostage situation,
You are likely to be released first.
3.
No one expects you to run --
Anywhere.
4.
People call at 9 PM (or 9 AM) and ask,
'Did I wake you?'
5.
People no longer view you as a
Hypochondriac.
6.
There is nothing left
To learn the hard way.
7.
Things you buy now
Won't wear out.
8.
You can eat
Supper at 4 PM.
9..
You can live without sex
But not without your glasses.
10.
You get into heated arguments
About pension plans.
11.
You no longer think of speed limits
As a challenge.
12.
You quit trying to hold
Your stomach in no matter who walks
Into the room.
13.
You sing along
With elevator music.
14.
Your eyes won't get
Much worse.
15.
Your investment in health insurance
Is finally beginning to pay off.
16.
Your joints are more accurate meteorologists
Than the national weather service.
17.
Your secrets are safe with your friends
Because they can't remember them either.
18.
Your supply of brain cells is finally down to
A manageable size.
19.
You can't remember
Who sent you this list.
And you notice these are all
In big print
For your convenience.
Forward this to everyone
You can remember
Right now!
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
Never, NEVER, NEVER ,
Under any circumstances,
Take a sleeping pill, and a laxative on
The same night!

The Coyote: California vs. Texas
THE COYOTE
California:
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.
A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the Governor.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.
2. He calls animal control . Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.
4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness program" for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.
8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training re: the nature of coyotes.
9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against the State.
TEXAS :
The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A Coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.
2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not.
The recession has hit everybody
1. I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
2. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.
3. A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.
4. I saw a polygamist with only one wife.
5. The bank returned a check marked "Insufficient Funds,"
so I called them and ask if they meant me or them. It was them.
6. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.
7. Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.
8. A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.
9. A picture is now only worth 200 words.
10. When Bill and Hillary travel together,
they now have to share a room.

managed by Somali pirates.
12. Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great!
The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated
by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!
And, finally...
A man was so depressed thinking about the economy, wars,
jobs, his savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc.,
he called the Suicide Hotline and got a call center in Pakistan, and when he told them he was suicidal, they got all excited,
and asked if he could drive a truck.

At the dentist
A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist.
"I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want Novocain because I'm in a big hurry," the woman said. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way."
The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?"
The woman turned to her husband and said, "Show him your tooth, dear.

Noah's Ark
And the Lord spoke to Noah and said,
"In six months I'm going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water and all the evil people are destroyed. But I want to save a few good people, and two of every kind of living thing on the planet. I am commanding you to build an Ark."
And in a flash of lightning, He delivered the specifications for an Ark.
"Okay," said Noah, trembling with fear and fumbling with the blueprints.
"Six months, and it starts to rain," thundered the Lord. "You'd better have the Ark completed, or learn to swim for a very long time."
Six months passed, the skies clouded up and rain began to fall. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard, weeping... And there was no Ark.
"Noah," shouted the Lord, "Where is the Ark?"
"Lord, please forgive me!" begged Noah. "I did my best. But there were big problems.
First, I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn't meet code.
So I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans.
Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system.
Then my neighbor objected, claiming I was violating zoning by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission."
"Then I had problems getting enough wood for the Ark, because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the Spotted Owl.
I had to convince the U.S. Fish and Wildlife that I need the wood to save the Owls. But they wouldn't let me catch any owls. So, no owls.
The carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. Now we have sixteen carpenters going on the boat, and still no owls."
"Then I started gathering up animals, and got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to me taking only two of each kind.
Just when I got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn't complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. They didn't take kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of a Supreme Being."
"Then the Army Corp of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed new flood plan. I sent them a globe.
Right now, I'm still trying to resolve a complaint from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over how many Croatians I'm supposed to hire.
The IRS has seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country.
And I just got a notice from the state about owing them some kind of use tax.
I really don't think I can finish the Ark for at least another five years," Noah wailed.
The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder.
"You mean you're not going to destroy the earth?" he asked hopefully.
"No," said the Lord sadly. "The government already has."

The frog
A pupil told his kindergarten teacher that he had found a frog.
She inquired as to whether it was a live or dead.
"Dead." She was informed.
"How do you know?" She asked.
"Because I pissed in his ear," said the child innocently.
"You did what?" Squealed the teacher in surprise.
"You know," explained the boy, "I leaned over and went 'Pssst'. The frog didn't move."

Marriage seminar
While attending a marriage seminar on communication, David and his wife listened to the instructor declare,
"It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other."
He addressed the man, "Can you tell me your wife's favorite flower?"
David leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered... "Pillsbury All-purpose, isn't it?"

Two guys walked into a bar.

LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE
An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
" Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is no GOD, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly.
"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"
The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's
intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss why there is no GOD, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death, when you don't know crap?"
And then she went back to reading her book.

Three Nuns at a Baseball Game
THREE NUNS WERE ATTENDING A YANKEE BASEBALL GAME.
THREE MEN WERE SITTING DIRECTLY BEHIND.
BECAUSE THEIR HABITS WERE PARTIALLY BLOCKING
THE VIEW, THE MEN DECIDED TO BADGER THE NUNS
HOPING THAT THEY'D GET ANNOYED ENOUGH TO
MOVE TO ANOTHER AREA.
IN A VERY LOUD VOICE, THE FIRST GUY SAID,
"I THINK I'M GOING TO MOVE TO UTAH . THERE ARE

THEN THE SECOND GUY SPOKE UP AND SAID,
"I WANT TO GO TO MONTANA . THERE ARE ONLY 5O NUNS LIVING THERE."

Filing her taxes
A woman walks into an accountant's office and tells him that she needs to file her taxes.
The accountant says, "Before we begin, I'll need to ask you a few questions."
He gets her name, address, social security number, etc. and then asks,"What's your occupation?"
"I'm a prostitute," she says.
The accountant is somewhat taken aback and says, " Let's try to rephrase that."
The woman says, "OK, I'm a high-end call girl".
"No, that still won't work. Try again." They both think for a minute; then the woman says, "I'm an elite chicken farmer."
The accountant asks, "What does chicken farming have to do with being a prostitute?"
"Well, I raised a thousand little peckers last year."
"Chicken Farmer it is."

The pirate
A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible.
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now."
The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"
The pirate explained, "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook but I'm fine, really.
"What about that eye patch?"
"Oh," said the pirate, "One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up, and one of them crapped in my eye."
"You're kidding," said the bartender. "You couldn't lose an eye just from bird poop."
The pirate explained, "It was my first day with the hook."

Blonde paint job
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
Italian Wedding
THE ITALIAN WEDDING TEST
I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we
decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful younger sister.
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very
tight mini skirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near
me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate. Because she never did it when she was near anyone else.
One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was
alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she
had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once
before I got married and committed my life to her sister.
Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.
She said, 'I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me.'
I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.
Lord... And behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!
With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, 'We are very happy that you have passed our
little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.'
And the moral of this story is:
Always keep your condoms in your car.

Divorce
A couple get a divorce and are in negotiations for the custody of their children. The judge asks each of them to defend their reasoning for their rights to sole custody.
The wife replies, "The children are really mine, I carried them for nine months and spent hours in labor birthing them! He didn't really do anything!" The judge nods thoughtfully, recognizing the validity of her reasoning and asks for the husbands defense.
The husband thinks for a minute and replies, "Your honor...if you put a dollar into a coke machine and a soda pops out, does that soda belong to you or the machine?"

THREE PRIESTS ...
Three priests were in a railroad station on their way home to Pittsburgh ..
Behind the ticket counter was a very sexy, shapely, well endowed woman wearing a very tight, skimpy halter top. She made the three priests very
nervous, so they drew straws to determine who would get the tickets..
The first priest approached the window. 'Young lady, I would like three pickets to titsburg.' He completely lost his composure and fled.
The second priest goes to the window. 'Young lady, I would like three tickets to Pittsburgh and I would like the change in nipples and dimes.'
Mortified, he too fled.
'Morons.....'the third priest mutters and moves to the window. 'Young lady, I would like three tickets to Pittsburgh and I would like the change in
nickels and dimes. And, if you insist on dressing like that, when you get to the pearly gates, St. Finger's going to shake his Peter at you.'
They took the bus.

Ralph & Edna
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool , Ralph suddenly
jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottomand pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became awareof Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be dischargedfrom the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said,
'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged,since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love... I have concludedthat your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with hisbathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry,but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry..
How soon can I go home?'
Happy Mental Health Day!

How the Internet Began
In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called Amazon Dot Com.
She said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doth thou travel far from town to town with they goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?"
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, Dear?"
And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. The drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from his tent.
But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secret himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short.
And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would work only with Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.
Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others."
And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it came to be known "ebay" he said, "We need a name that reflects what we are," and Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators."
"YAHOO", said Abraham.
And that is how it all began.
It wasn't Al Gore after all.
After a car accident
A woman and man get into a car accident. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt.
After they crawl out of the wreckage, the woman says, "Wow, look at our cars - there's nothing left! Thank God we are all right. This must be a sign from Him that we should be friends and not try to pin the blame on each other."
The man replies, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely."
The woman points to a bottle on the ground and says, "And here's another miracle. Somehow this bottle of Scotch from my back seat didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this Scotch and celebrate our good fortune."
Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, and chugs about a third of the bottle to calm his nerves. He then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"
The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police..."
