THEY HAD NO PRIVACY

As a young married couple,a husband and a wifelived in a cheap housingcomplex near the base wherehe was working. Their chiefcomplaint was that the wallswere paper-thin and that theyhad no privacy. This waspainfully obvious when one morningthe husband was upstairs andthe wife was downstairs onthe telephone. She was interruptedby the doorbell and wentto greet her neighbor.

"Give this to your husband,"he said thrusting a rollof toilet paper into herhands. "He's been yelling forit for 15 minutes!"

A HUSBAND WHO NEVER FEELSASHAMED

"I'm ashamed of the waywe live," a young wifesays to her lazy husbandwho refuses to find ajob. "My father pays ourrent. My mother buys allof our food. My sisterbuys our clothes. My auntbought us a car. I'mjust so ashamed."

The husband rolls over onthe couch. "And you damnwell should be," he agrees."Those two worthless brothers ofyours ain't never give usa cent!"

THE NEIGHBORS CAN NOT SEEYOU

Having been married ten yearsand still living in anapartment, the wife would oftencomplain about anything, as shewas tired of saving everypenny to buy a "dreamhome".

Trying to placate her, thehusband found a new apartment,within their budget. However, afterthe first week, she begancomplaining again.

"Joel," she said, "I don'tlike this place at all.There are no curtains inthe bathroom. The neighbors cansee me every time Itake a bath."

"Don't worry." replied her husband."If the neighbors do seeyou, they'll buy curtains."

WHERE'S THE SHOE?

One night a fellow drovehis secretary home after shehad imbibed a little toomuch at an office reception.Although this was an innocentgesture, he decided not tomention it to his wife,who tended to get jealouseasily.

The next night the manand his wife were drivingto a restaurant. Suddenly helooked down and spotted ahigh-heel shoe half hidden underthe passenger seat. Not wantingto be conspicuous, he waiteduntil his wife was lookingout her window before hescooped up the shoe andtossed it out of thecar.

With a sigh of relief,he pulled into the restaurantparking lot. That's when henoticed his wife squirming aroundin her seat. "Honey," sheasked, "have you seen myother shoe?"

"I'd love to be sixagain," she replied.

On the morning of herbirthday, he got her upbright and early and offthey went to a localtheme park. What a day!He put her on everyride in the park: theDeath Slide, the Screaming Loop,the Wall of Fear, everythingthere was! Wow! Five hourslater she staggered out ofthe theme park, her headreeling and her stomach upsidedown. Off to a McDonald'sthey went, where her husbandordered her a Big Macalong with extra fries anda refreshing chocolate shake. Thenit was off to amovie: the latest Hollywood blockbuster,hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi Colaand M & M's. Whata fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home withher husband and collapsed intobed. He leaned over andlovingly asked, "Well, dear, whatwas it like being sixagain?"

One eye opened. "You dummy,I meant my dress size."

"Darling," Bob said, "whatever's thematter?"

I HAVE TO SHOW HER...

Everybody's heard of the AirForce's ultra-high-security,super-secret base in Nevada,known simply as "Area 51?"

Late one afternoon, the AirForce folks out at Area51 were very surprised tosee a Cessna landing attheir "secret" base. They immediatelyimpounded the aircraft and hauledthe pilot into an interrogationroom.

The pilot's story was thathe took off from Vegas,got lost, and spotted theBase just as he wasabout to run out offuel. The Air Force starteda full FBI background checkon the pilot and heldhim overnight during the investigation.

By the next day, theywere finally convinced that thepilot really was lost andwasn't a spy. They gassedup his air-plane, gave hima terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing, completewith threats of spending therest of his life inprison, told him Vegas wasthat-a-way on such-and-such a heading,and sent him on hisway.

The next day, to thetotal disbelief of the AirForce, the same Cessna showedup again. Once again, theMP's surrounded the plane...only thistime there were two peopleinside.

The same pilot jumped outand said, "Do anything youwant to me, but mywife is in the planeand you have to tellher where I was lastnight!"

"What's this honey?" the husbandinquired as he entered theroom.

"Oh, its just a statue,"she replied nonchalantly. "The Smithsbought one for their bedroom.I liked it so much,I got one for ustoo."

No more was said aboutthe statue, not even laterthat night when they wentto sleep. Around two inthe morning the husband gotout of bed, went tothe kitchen and returned awhile later with a sandwichand a glass of milk."Here," he said to the'statue', "eat something.

One day a man walksinto a dentist's office andasks how much it willcost to extract wisdom teeth.

"Eighty dollars," the dentist says.

"That's a ridiculous amount," theman says. "Isn't there acheaper way?"

"Well," the dentist says, "ifyou don't use an anaesthetic,I can knock it downto $60."

"That's still too expensive," theman says.

"Okay," says the dentist. "IfI save on anesthesia andsimply rip the teeth outwith a pair of pliers,I could get away withcharging $20."

"Nope," moans the man, "it'sstill too much."

"Hmm," says the dentist, scratchinghis head. "If I letone of my students doit for the experience, Isuppose I could charge youjust $10."

"Marvelous," says the man, "bookmy wife for next Tuesday!"

HOW DID YOU DIE ?

Two men waiting at thepearly gates strike up aconversation. The first man asksthe second. "So, how'd youdie?"

"I froze to death," saysthe second.

"That's awful," says the firstman. "How does it feelto freeze to death?"

"It's very uncomfortable at first",says the second man. "Youget the shakes, and youget pains in all yourfingers and toes. But eventually,it's a very calm wayto go. You get numband you kind of driftoff, as if you're sleeping.How about you, how didyou die?"

"I had a heart attack,"says the first man. "Yousee, I knew my wifewas cheating on me, soone day I showed upat home unexpectedly. I ranup to the bedroom, andfound her alone, knitting. Iran down to the basement,but no one was hidingthere, either. I ran upto the second floor, butno one was hiding thereeither. I ran as fastas I could to theattic,

and just as I gotthere, I had a massiveheart attack and died."

The second man shakes hishead. "That's so ironic," hesays.

"What do you mean?" Asksthe first man.

"If you had only stoppedto look in the freezer,we'd both still be alive."

PREGNANT

Since the wife is eightmonths into her pregnancy, thehusband has to sleep onthe floor to avoid anyregrettable mistake, which might happenpretty easily, for he hasbeen desperate for quite awhile now...

Just before lying down onthe bed, she glances athim and sees the poorguy curls up on thefloor, eyes stare widely intothe empty air, filled withhopeless desire...

Feeling sorry for her husband,she opens the top drawerof the cabinet, takes outa fifty dollar bill, andgives it to him, "Awww,my honey is so depressed...here, take this and goto the woman next door,she will let you sleepwith her tonight... and rememberthat this happens only once...ok?... don't think about itagain."

The husband rolls his eyesin disbelief, but afraid thatshe may change her mind,he grabs the money andleaves quickly. A few minuteslater, he returns, hands thebill back to the wifeand says with much disappointment,

"She said this is notenough, she wants sixty."

The wife's face slowly turnsred with anger, "Damn thatbitch... when she was pregnantand her husband came overhere... I only charged himfifty..."

Really means...

"Someone who doesn't speed, tailgate,swear, make obscene gestures andhas a better driving recordthan me."
