HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S JOKES!

Four men wanted to go to the new casino that opened nearby. None of them had gambled before so they decided to not play poker, blackjack, roulette, or any other game of skill, they would just play the slot machines.

They also decided they would each limit their spending to $100. They separated and agreed to meet back in one hour.

An hour later three of the men met, each had lost all of their $100. The fourth man showed up with a stack of one-dollar bills and a large cup full of quarters.

He said he found a machine where he won every bet. For each dollar he put in, he won four quarters. (In some casinos such a machine is called “a changer.”)

THE LAWS OF NATURE

Have you heard about Murphy's Law? Yes. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

How about Cole's Law? No? It's shredded cabbage in a creamy dressing.

* * *

A BIRTHDAY OF ENLIGHTENMENT

I got my husband a fridge for his birthday. His face lit up when he opened it.

* * *

MY TEACHERS MUST SEEK PATIENCE

My teachers told me I'd never amount to much because I procrastinate so much.

I told them, "Just you wait!"

* * *

THE HARDSHIPS OF OLD PEOPLE WHO TEXT

A mom texts, "Hi! Son, what does IDK, LY, & TTYL mean?"

He texts back, "I Don't Know, Love You, & Talk To You Later."

The mom texts him, "It's OK, don't worry about it. I'll ask your sister, love you too."

HE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS HIS WORST DAY

A man, clearly upset, sat at the bar just staring at his drink.

A big motorcycle rider sits down next to him, takes the drink from the guy and drinks it all down.

The poor man starts crying. The motorcyclist apologizes and says “I'll buy you another drink.

“I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that," the man replies, wiping his tears, "This day is the worst of my life.

First, I overslept and went in late to my office. My outraged boss fired me.

When I left the building to go to my car, I found out it was stolen.

I got a cab to go home. After I got out and as the cab drove away, I realized I left my wallet.

I went inside my house where I found my wife kissing the gardener.

I left home, came to this bar and just when I was about to put an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison!"

* * *

A SMARTER LAWYER IN THE NICK OF TIME

A man went to his lawyer and told him, "My cousin in Texas owes me $500 and he won’t pay up.

What should I do?" "Do you have any proof he owes you the money?" asked the lawyer.

"Nope," replied the man. "OK, then write him a letter asking him for the $5,000 he owes you," said the lawyer.

"But it's only $500 not $5,000", replied the man.

"Precisely”, said the lawyer, “That’s what he will reply and then you’ll have your proof!"

* * *

* -- IT WAS LEARNED BJ Thomas had lung cancer nine weeks before the popular singer died last week. One of his most improbable hits was “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head,” which was featured in the blockbuster movie, “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid.” Co-star Robert Redford was so adamantly against the song he threatened to walk off the set, but when both the film critics and the turn-away crowds adored Thomas’ rendition, Redford was quick to say, “Boy, was I ever wrong!
