Monday Morning friends report, Mar.10, 2008

The winter has dragged itself on mercilessly and most people we know are so tired of it, they're running away.


What people are laughing at:

JERRY-
A man walks into a bank, gets in line and when it is his turn he pulls out a gun...and robs the bank!
Just to make sure he leaves no witnesses, he turns around and asks the next customer in line. "Did you see me rob this bank?"
The customer replies, "Yes!"
The bank robber raises his gun, points it to the customer's head and BANG !!! Shoots him in the head and kills him!
He quickly moves to the next customer in line and says to the man, "Did You see me rob this bank?"
The man calmly responds ... "No, but my wife, here, did!"

AND
Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd
just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his
nose is broken, his face is cut, and bruised, and he's
walking with a limp.
What happened to you?' asks Sean, the bartender.
'Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight,' says Paddy.
'That little O'Conner,' says Sean, 'He couldn't do that to
you, he must have had something in his hand.'
'That he did,' says Paddy, 'a shovel is what he had, and a
terrible lickin' he gave me with it.'
'Well,' says Sean, 'you should have defended yourself.
Didn't you have something in your hand?'
That I did,' said Paddy, 'Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a
thing of beauty it was; but useless in a fight.'
