An ethnic tale from Tom Vickery.
Two English businessmen in London were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn’t ready, with only a few shelves set up.
One said to the other, “I bet any minute now some idiot tourist is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we’re selling.”
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure nough, a curious Irishman walked … Read the rest...

At a trial in a small South Carolina town, the prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand. She was sworn in, on the Bible, and was asked if she would tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help her God.
The witness was a proper, well-dressed, elderly lady; the grandmotherly type well-spoken and poised.
The prosecuting attorney approached the woman and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do … Read the rest...

Siamese twins walk into a pub in Ontario and park themselves on a bar stool. One of them says to the barkeeper, “Don’t mind us, we’re joined at the hip. I’m John, he’s Jim. Two Molson Canadian beers, draft please”.
The barkeeper, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while pouring the beers. “Been on holiday yet, lads?”

A man walks in 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”.

A teacher is explaining biology to her 1st grade students.
“Human beings are the only animals that stutter”, she says.
A little girl raised her hand. “I had a kitty-cat who stuttered”, she volunteered. The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

A very unattractive, nasty, loud, mean-acting woman walks into Wal-Mart with her two kids.
After the traditional Hello-and-Welcome-to-Wal-Mart, the Wal-Mart Greeter asks, “Are they twins?”
The woman says, “Hell no, the oldest one, he’s 9, and the younger one, she’s 7. Why? Do you think they really look alike?”
