He hears the parrot squawking and kicking for a few minutes, but then all goes quiet. The man opens the freezer up, the parrot calmly steps out onto the man’s outstretched arm and says, “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I’ll endeavor to correct my behavior.” The man is astounded. As he’s about to ask the parrot what’s caused this sudden change in attitude, the parrot continues, “May I ask what the turkey did?”
- The Psychic Dog: A man walks into a bar with a dog. The bartender says, “You can’t bring that dog in here.” The man replies, “But this is no ordinary dog, this dog can talk.” “Listen, pal,” the bartender says, “if that dog can talk, I’ll give you a hundred bucks.” The owner looks at the dog and says, “Fido, what’s the thing on top of this building which keeps the rain from getting inside?” The dog answers “ROOF.” “Listen, pal…” the bartender starts to say, but the owner interrupts, “Wait, wait… he’s not finished. Fido, how does sandpaper feel?” “RUFF.” The bartender roars, “Get out of here!” As they’re walking out the door, the dog turns to his owner and asks, “DiMaggio?”
- The Math Exam: A young college student was having trouble with his final math exam. He knew his professor was a golf lover, so he came up with a scheme. He told the professor, “If I can hit a golf ball into that cup from here, will you give me an A?” The professor, amused and curious, agreed. The student swung and to the professor’s surprise, the ball went right into the cup. “Okay,” said the professor, “I’ll give you an A, but only if you can tell me your golf score.” The student replied, “Well, with that hole-in-one, I’d say it’s -1.”
- The Smart Salesman: A door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman manages to bully his way into a woman’s home in a rural area. “This machine is the best ever, I assure you ma’am,” he says. “It can clean anything. In fact, I’ll give you a demonstration. If this machine doesn’t remove all the dirt from your carpets and completely clean them, I’ll eat whatever it leaves!” The woman smiles and asks, “Would you like ketchup or mayonnaise on your dirt? We don’t have electricity here.”
- The Fisherman’s Tale: A fisherman returns from his fishing trip and tells his friends, “I caught a fish that was so big, when I got it onto the boat, the boat sank.” “That sounds like a whopper,” his friend replies. “It was,” says the fisherman. “But that’s not the best part. When I swam back to shore, I found the fish sitting there waiting for me.”
- The Lost Tourist: A tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally checking his map to get back on track.

The cabbie turns around and says, “No problem, mate. Here we are!”
- The Wise Farmer: A big-city lawyer went duck hunting in rural areas. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer’s field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked what he was doing. The litigator responded, “I shot a duck and it fell into this field, and now I’m going to retrieve it.” The old farmer replied, “This is my property, and you’re not coming over here.” The indignant lawyer said, “I’m one of the best trial attorneys in the city, and if you don’t let me get that duck, I’ll sue you and take everything you own.” The old farmer smiled and said, “Apparently, you don’t know how we settle disputes in the countryside. We settle small disagreements with the ‘Three Kick Rule.'” The lawyer asked, “What is the ‘Three Kick Rule’?” The farmer replied, “Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back and forth until someone gives up.” The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom. The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed work boot into the lawyer’s groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer’s last meal gushing from his mouth. The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer’s third kick to his rear end sent him face-first into a fresh cow pie. The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, “Okay, you old coot. Now it’s my turn.” The old farmer smiled and said, “Nah, I give up. You can have the duck.”
- The Honest Neighbor: A man is struggling to find a parking space. “Lord,” he prays. “I can’t stand this.

Without hesitation, the man says, “Never mind, I found one!”
- The Late Night Phone Call: In the middle of the night, a man gets a phone call from his doctor. The doctor says, “I have some good news and some bad news.” The man says, “Okay, give me the good news first.” The doctor says, “The good news is, you have 24 hours to live.” The man replies, “That’s the good news? Then what’s the bad news?” The doctor says, “The bad news is, I forgot to call you yesterday.”
- The Optimistic Son: A man was trying to teach his young son the evils of alcohol. He put one worm in a glass of water and another worm in a glass of whiskey. The worm in the water lived, while the one in the whiskey curled up and died. “All right, son,” asked the father, “what does that show you?” “Well, Dad, it shows that if you drink alcohol, you will not have worms.”
- The Smart Parrot: A lady was walking past a pet store when a parrot said, “Hey, lady! You’re really ugly!” The lady was furious and continued on her way. On the way home, she passed by the pet store again and the parrot once more said “Hey, lady!

He then starts to walk away, but then he stops, turns around and says, “Hey, you didn’t grant my wishes!” The fish calls out, “And you didn’t believe I could talk!”
- The Speeding Driver: A man is speeding down a highway when he gets pulled over by a cop.

He was an amazing guy.” Passenger: “Sounds like he was something really special.” Cabbie: “There’s more… He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody’s birthday.

But Brian Sullivan, he could do everything right.” Passenger: “Wow. Some guy then.” Cabbie: “He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Brian, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good.

Trying to dampen his outlook, the psychiatrist took him to a room piled to the ceiling with horse manure. But instead of wrinkling his nose in disgust, the optimist emitted just the yelp of delight the psychiatrist had been hoping to hear from his brother, the pessimist.

They chopped out the piece of stone and had it brought to the museum where archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols. After months of conferences, they held a huge meeting to discuss the meaning of the markings. The president of their society stood up and pointed at the first drawing and said, “This looks like a dog. We can judge that this was a highly intelligent race as they knew how to have pets. Next, we can see that they believed this dog to be their best friend as it is shown next to the image of a donkey, in fact, they must have been such good friends that they explored the desert together. The next drawing looks like a shovel of some sort, which means they probably buried their dead. Then, this fish, which means, they had a famine that hit the earth and probably had to live off fish which is why they drew the star of David, to help guide them at night.” Everyone applauded and agreed, until a little old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said, “Idiots!

The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. “I’m very sorry. I didn’t mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?” “I don’t have it, Father.
