Dead Wrong Prayers

A father is listening to his daughter say her prayers before bedtime.

Daughter prays, “God bless mommy and god bless daddy and god bless grandma and… goodbye grandpa.”

“Why did you say that?” the father asks.

“I don’t know, I just felt like saying it,” the daughter answers.

The next day, grandpa drops dead. Wow, thinks her dad, that’s an odd coincidence.

A month later, at bedtime, the daughter says, “God bless mommy and daddy. And goodbye grandma.”

The very next day, grandma passes away.

The dad begins to think this is more than just a coincidence, but he’s unsure what to do. He doesn’t want to upset his wife with the news about her parents, so he keeps it to himself for now.

Months pass, and one evening, the man listens as his daughter says her bedtime prayers: “God bless mommy…” She then turns her head toward her father and says, “And goodbye, daddy.”

“What!? Are you sure, honey?” the father exclaimed.

She nods, and the man’s heart starts racing as he breaks out in a sweat. He’s so shaken that he can’t sleep at all that night.

The next day, the man goes to work as usual but is terrified. He locks himself in his office, takes the phone off the hook, and cancels all his meetings.

He’s convinced something bad is going to happen, so he just sits at his desk, anxiously waiting. He doesn’t leave when the workday ends; instead, he stays in his office because he feels safer there than anywhere else.

He nervously watches the clock as the hours crawl by. Midnight finally arrives, and he realizes nothing happened — he’s safe. Relieved but exhausted, he drives home, drenched in sweat, with his nerves completely shot.

His wife is up and waiting for him when he finally gets home. “Where the hell were you today?!” she yells.

He sighs and replies, “Don’t shout, I’ve had an absolutely miserable day.”

She fires back, “You had a miserable day? I’m the one who had a miserable day! First, the milkman drops dead on the steps…”

Sink or Swim Dilemma

A 55-year-old lady suddenly started learning to swim instead of her usual routine. Everyone was curious and asked her why.

The lady, with a look of helplessness, replied, “Whenever my son and daughter-in-law quarrel with each other my daughter-in-law always asks my son, ‘If your mom and I fall into a pool of water, whom will you save first?’”

“And because I do not want to put my son into a difficult position, I am learning to swim!”

A few days later, husband and wife were quarreling again, and the daughter-in-law unreasonably asked, “Now tell me! If your mom and I fall into the water, who will you save first?”

Husband replied: “I don’t have to get into the water, my mom knows to swim, she will save you.”

Wife refused to relent: “No, you have to jump into the water, and have to save one of us. Whom will you save?”

Husband replied: “Then you will surely die… because I don’t know how to swim …. and my mom will definitely save me first.”

The Silent Satisfact-German

An English couple decided to adopt a little German boy. After two years, the child doesn’t speak, and his parents start to worry about him. Three years later, he still has not spoken and by the fourth year, he has yet to utter a word.

The English couple started to think their son might never speak, but they still loved him very much. When his next birthday came around, they celebrated by throwing him a big party. They wanted to make the day special, so they baked him a chocolate cake with orange icing, hoping it would make him happy.

The parents are in the kitchen when the boy comes in and says, “Mother, Father, I do not care for the orange icing on the chocolate cake.”

“My God,” says his mother. “You can speak?”

To which the German boy replies, “Of course.”

“How come you’ve never spoken before?” asks his father.

“Well,” says the boy, “up until now, everything has been satisfactory.”

Cool as a Fridge

I came home and saw a note from my wife stuck on the fridge. It read, “This isn’t working. I’m going to my mom’s.”

Confused, I opened the fridge door to check. The light turned on, and the beer inside was still cold. Everything seemed fine with the fridge, so I couldn’t figure out what she meant by “this isn’t working.”

Diamond Disappointment

A married couple went shopping together just before Christmas. The wife quickly noticed that her husband was missing, and because they had a lot to do, she called him on his cell phone.

After the husband picked up the phone, his wife said, “Where are you, you know we have lots to do!”

He said, “You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you?”

Little tears started to flow down her cheeks, and she got all choked up and said, “Yes, I do remember that shop!!!”

“Well, I am in the yoyo shop next door to that.”

Sister Act

One day, a husband looked at his wife and asked, “If I die, would you marry someone else?”

The wife quickly shook her head and said, “No, of course not! I wouldn’t marry again. I’d just go live with my sister.”

She then turned to him and asked, “And you? Would you marry again if I died?”

He smiled and said, “No, I wouldn’t get married again either. Just like you, I’d go live with your sister.”

There’s a lady who is cheating on her husband. One day, while they are making love she hears her husband pull into the driveway.

Her boyfriend says, “Oh no! What should we do?!”

She says, “Hurry! Get dressed and go to the living room!”

Once they’re in the living room she starts sprinkling baby powder all over him. He says, “What are you doing?”

She says, “I’m making you white like a statue. Just stand in a pose, my husband will never know you’re real, because he’s stupid!”

He shrugs it off and goes about his business. That night the boyfriend is still standing in the living room still posed, too afraid to escape. He hears the husband wake up and open the bedroom door.
