* -- Friend: "Look! Your husband is talking to another girl." Me: "Let him. I want to see how long he can suck-in his stomach."

* -- I went line dancing last night. Well ... it was a roadside sobriety test ... same thing ...

* -- I know it's time to clean out my purse when my car assumes it's an extra passenger who isn't wearing a seat belt.
* -- In the 1980s I fell off my bike and hurt my knee. I'm telling you this now because we didn't have social media then.

HOW DID THIS GUY BECOME AN OWNER?
A business owner decides to take a tour around his business and see how things are going.
He goes down to the shipping dock and sees a young man leaning against the wall doing nothing.
The owner walks up to the young man and says: "Son, how much do you make a day?"
The guy replies: "100 dollars!" The owner pulls out his wallet, gives him $100, and tells him to get out and never come back.
A few minutes later, the shipping clerk asks the owner: "Have you seen that pizza delivery driver? I asked him to wait here for me …"

DON’T BUNGEE JUMP ON MEXICO
Two guys are bungee-jumping one day. The first guy says to the second.
"You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service in Mexico."
The second guy thinks this is a great idea, so the two pool their money and buy everything they’ll need.
They travel to Mexico and begin to set up. As they are constructing the tower, a crowd begins to assemble.
Slowly, more and more people gather to watch them at work. After they finish they test it, the first guy jumps.
He bounces at the end of the cord, but when he comes back up, the second guy notices that he has a few cuts and scratches.
Unfortunately, the second guy isn’t able catch him, he falls again, bounces and comes back up. This time, he is bruised and bleeding.
Again, the second guy misses him. The first guy falls again and bounces back up.
This time, he comes back pretty messed up – he’s got a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious.
Luckily, the second guy finally catches him this time and says, "What happened? Was the cord too long?"
The first guy says, "No, the cord was fine, but what the heck is a 'pinata'?"

THE PERFECT BIRTHDAY GIFT
Jim asked his friend, Tony, whether he had bought his wife anything for her birthday.
"Yes," came the answer from Tony who was a bit of a chauvinist, "I've bought her a belt and a bag."
"That was very kind of you," Jim added, 'I hope she appreciated the thought."
Tony smiled as he replied, "So do I, and hopefully the vacuum cleaner will work better now."

AN AIRMAN’S CLASSIC REPLY
An Air Force plane was preparing for departure from Thule Air Base in Greenland to take the airbase commander and staff to the U.S.
They were waiting for the truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft's sewage holding tank.
The truck was late in arriving, and the airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the tank pumped out.
When the commander berated the airman for his slowness and promised punishment, the airman responded:
"Sir, I have no stripes, it is 20 below zero, I'm stationed in Greenland, and I am pumping sewage out of airplanes.
Just what are you going to do to punish me?"
