Black eyes A man came to work on Monday morning with two black eyes. His boss asked what happened. The man replied: “On Sunday, I was sitting behind a big woman at church. When we stood up to sing hymns, I noticed that her dress was caught in her rear end, so I tried to be nice and pull it out for her. She turned around and punched me in the eye.” The boss asked: “OK, so where did you get the other shiner?” “Well,” the man said, “I figured she didn’t want it out, so I pushed it back in.” The mourner’s pain A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and was walking back toward his car when his attention was diverted by another man kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity, and kept repeating: “Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?” The first man approached him and said: “Sir, I don’t wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I’ve ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?” The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied: “My wife’s first husband.” (SD-Agencies) |
