$500 to Drop Your Towel

 

A woman is just getting out of the shower when the doorbell rings. Her husband, heading to the shower himself, asks her to see who's at the door, so she wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands her next-door neighbor, Rob. Before she can say a word, Rob says, "I'll give you $500 to drop that towel you have on."

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel.   He looks for a few seconds, hands her $500, and leaves with a big smile on his face.

Excited about her earnings, the woman puts the towel back on and runs upstairs. Her husband yells out from the shower, "Who was that?" "It was Rob from next door," she replies.

"Great," the husband says. "Did he say anything about the $500 dollars he owes me?"

More Couples Humor

On a whim, a man decided to get his wife a dozen roses and surprise her after work. 

The minute he opened the door, his wife took one look at the flowers in his hand and started screaming, "This is the worst day that I have EVER had! The kids have been terrible. They got in a food fight, the washing machine broke and flooded the basement, I burned dinner, the dog chewed up my best pair of shoes...AND NOW YOU'VE GOT THE NERVE TO COME HOME DRUNK!"

Very Old Age

At his 103rd birthday party, my grandfather was asked if he planned to be around for his 104th. 

"I certainly do," he replied. "Statistics show that very few people die between the ages of 103 and 104."

A Married Couple

Tom was in his usual place in the morning sitting at the table, reading the paper after breakfast. He came across an article about a beautiful actress that was about to marry a football player who was known primarily for his lack of IQ and common knowledge. 

He turned to his wife Linda, with a look of question on his face. 

"I'll never understand why the biggest shmucks get the most attractive wives." 

His wife replies, "Why, thank you, dear!"

Changing Times

A big mouth college student challenged a senior citizen saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his world. "You grew up in a different world," the student said. 

"Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers, the internet..." 

Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the senior said, 

"You're right sonny . We didn't have those things when we were young... so we invented them!" 

Signs Technology Took Over Your Life

Rattlesnake Farm

A young couple were touring southern Florida and happened to stop at a rattlesnake farm they discovered along the road. After seeing the sights, they engaged in small talk with the man that handled the snakes. 

"Gosh!" exclaimed the young woman. "You certainly have a dangerous job. Don't you ever get bitten by the snakes?" 

"Yes, on rare occasions," answered the handler. 

"Well," she continued, "what do you do when you're bitten by a snake?" 

"I always carry a razor-sharp knife in my pocket, and as soon as I am bitten, I make cut across the fang entry and then suck the poison from the wound." 

"What, uh...what would happen if you were to accidentally sit on a rattler?" persisted the woman. 

"Ma'am," answered the snake handler, "that will be the day I learn who my real friends are."

The Church Plaque

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed Little Johnny was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The seven-year- old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, son." 

"Good morning pastor" replied the young man, focused on the plaque. 

"Sir, what is this?" Little Johnny asked. 

"Well son, these are all the people who have died in the service," replied the pastor. 

Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. 

Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when he asked quietly, "Which one, sir, the 8:30 or the 10:30 service?" 

New Student

It was the first day of school and a new student, the son of a Japanese businessman, entered the fourth grade. The teacher greeted the class and said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. 

Who said "Give me Liberty, or give me death?" 

She saw only a sea of blank faces, except for that of Toshiba, who had his hand up. 

"Patrick Henry, 1775," said the boy. 

"Now," said the teacher, "Who said 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth?'" 

Again, no response except from Toshiba: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863." 

The teacher snapped at the class, "You should be ashamed. Toshiba, who is new to our country, knows more about it than you do." 

As she turned to write something on the blackboard, she heard a loud whisper: "Damned Japanese." 

"Who said that?" she demanded. 

Toshiba put his hand up. "Lee Iacocca, 1982," he said.

Windows Problem

An unfailingly polite lady called to ask for help with a Windows installation that had gone terribly wrong. 

Customer: "I brought my Windows disks from work to install them on my home computer." Training stresses that we are "not the Software Police," so I let the little act of piracy slide. 

Tech Support: "Umm-hmm. What happened?" 

Customer: "As I put each disk in it turns out they weren't initialized." 

Tech Support: "Do you remember the message exactly, ma'am?" 

Customer: (proudly) "I wrote it down. 'This is not a Macintosh disk. Would you like to initialize it?'" 

Tech Support: "Er, what happened next?" 

Customer: "After they were initialized, all the disks appeared to be blank. And now I brought them back to work, and I can't read them in the A: drive; the PC wants to format them. And this is our only set of Windows disks for the whole office. Did I do something wrong?"
