Mr. Hyde spent half the evening terrorizing young ladies of the village and finally had cornered a woman and was about to have his way with her. Much to his distress the serum suddenly wore off and he reverted to his original personality before he could commit the heinous act. You might say he suffered from premature Jekylation.… Read the rest...

There was a sale on bras. I misunderstood when my wife said the bras at the mall were all 75% off. I was ready to GO!
You might think 75% off is a good deal, but the state and local governments get a big cut when you buy more than one of the soft padded type. This is where we get the expression “Getting two downy bra’s tax.”… Read the rest...

This is Chapter 5 of Paul de Anguera’s Tall Ship Tales.
The next day found the storm-driven frigate far to the southwest, crossing the Carpathian Mountains on a starboard tack. Ian Vilcorus, the blacksmith, was installing new flying controls (a John Deere clutch lever for altitude, a VW Microbus steering wheel for drift), when Captain Quid appeared on the quarter-deck with his sextant clutched under his arm. This was a surprise, for nobody supposed he would have any use for … Read the rest...

Howell Gwin tells us, “This came to me in a blinding flash of insight. I know not whence it came.”
There was a homeless man, typically dirty and scruffy, who played his flute on the street corners. Passers by would throw coins into his hat. As he made more money, he became more confident and more expert, until one day he decided to end his impromptu recitals with the good old classic “Bill Bailey, won’t you please come home?”. He … Read the rest...

Mitch Friedman sent me this. I haven’t had a funny rude one for a while.
A little old lady was going up and down the halls in a nursing home. As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say “Supersex! Supersex!” She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair. Flipping her gown at him, she again said, “Supersex.”
He sat silently for a moment or two looking up at her and finally answered, … Read the rest...

There was a magician who wanted to do more than mere prestidigitation, who had managed across a book which contained all manner of spell, both good and ill. Of particular interest was a spell wherein he could raise the dead. He tried this spell on some animals and discovered that it worked quite well, so he started showing it to various agents in Hollywood.
One agent hit upon a particularly interesting idea; what … Read the rest...
