Chicken Surprise

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the 'Chicken Surprise.' The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.
'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband. He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, and explains what is happening and demands an explanation.
'Please sir,' says the waiter, 'what you order?'
The husband replies, 'Chicken Surprise'.
'Ah! So sorry,' says the waiter, I bring you Peeking Duck

The Caring Husband

David received a free ticket to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, John's seat was in the last row in the corner of the stadium. He was closer to the Goodyear Blimp than the action on the field. He noticed an empty seat 10 rows up from the 50-yard line. He decides to make his way to the empty seat. As he sits down he asks the man next to him if anyone is sitting there. The man told him no, it was empty. David is very excited to have a seat like this at a Super Bowl and asks why in the world no one is using it? The man replied that it was his wife's seat but she passed away. He said this was the first Super Bowl that they have not attended together since they were married in 1968. John said that it was really sad and asked if he couldn't find someone, a relative or a close friend to take the seat? "No" replied the man, "They're at her funeral!"

The Perfect Husband

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man turns on the hands free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: 'Hello'
WOMAN: 'Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?'
MAN: 'Yes'
WOMAN: 'I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?'
MAN: 'Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.'
WOMAN: 'I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2009 models. I saw one I really liked.'
MAN: 'How much?'
WOMAN: '$90,000'
MAN: 'OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.'
WOMAN: 'Great! Oh, and one more thing...the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000'
MAN: 'Well, go ahead and give them an offer of $900,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand.'
WOMAN: 'OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!'
MAN: 'Bye! I love you, too.'
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape. He turns and asks: 'Anyone know who this phone belongs to?

The Fake Gorilla

This guy needs a job and decides to apply at the zoo. As it happened, their star attraction, a gorilla, had passed away the night before and they had carefully preserved his hide. They tell this guy that they'll pay him well if he would dress up in the gorillas skin and pretend to be the gorilla so people will keep coming to the zoo. The guy has his doubts but he needs the money, so he puts on the skin and goes out into the cage. The people all cheer to see him. He plays up to the audience and they just eat it up. This isn't so bad, he thinks, so he starts really putting on a show, jumping around, beating his chest and roaring, and swinging around. During one acrobatic attempt he loses his balance and crashes through some safety netting, landing square in the middle of the lion cage. As he lies there stunned, the lion roars. He's terrified and starts screaming, "Help, Help, Help!" The lion races over to him, places his paws on his chest and whsipers to him, "Shut up or we'll both lose our jobs!"

Pilots v Engineers

After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form with the action that was taken. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems assubmitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. P = the problem logged by the pilot. S = the solution and action taken by the engineers.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.

The Handy Blonde Woman

A blonde wanting to earn some extra money decided to hire herself out as a "handy-woman" and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do. "Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said. "How much will you charge me?" The blonde quickly responded, "How about $50?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and everything she would need was in the garage.

The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes all the way around the house?" He responded, "She will find that out herself."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" the husband asked. "Yes," the blonde replied, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it to her. "And by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porsche, it's a Lexus."

Student Outsmarted Interviewer

There was a student who wanted to undertake psychology. He was clever enough to get through the written test, and was to appear for the interview. As the interview progressed, the interviewer found the student to be bright since he could answer all the questions correctly. The interviewer got impatient and decided to corner the boy. "Tell me your choice," said the interviewer to the boy, "What's your choice? I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one real difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind." The student thought for a while and said, "I will have one really difficult question." "Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the interviewer. "What comes first, Day or Night?" The boy was jolted first but he waited for a while and said: "It's the DAY, sir." "How?" the interviewer asked, smiling as he thought he had outplayed smarted the student. The boy replied, "Sorry sir, but I only had to answer one difficult questiony." The student gained admission to the course.

Couple of Little Johnny Jokes

A teacher asked Little Johnny if he could count from 1 to 10, "Yeah! My pop taught me. Even more than 10." "Good. What comes after three?” "Four," answers Johnny. "What comes after six?" "Seven." "Very good," says the teacher. "You can count. Your dad did a good job. Now, so what comes after ten?" "A jack."

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology course. She started her class by asking, "Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up." After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?" Little Johhny replies, "No ma'am, but I didn't want you standing there all by yourself."

Little Johnny comes downstairs crying. His mother asked, “What’s the matter now?” “Dad was hanging pictures, and just hit his thumb with hammer,” said little Johnny through his tears. “That’s not so serious,” said his mother. “I know you are upset, but a big boy like you shouldn’t cry at something like that. Why didn’t you just laugh? “I did!” sobbed Johnny.

Engineers v Accountants

Three engineers and three accountants were traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each bought tickets and watched as the three engineers bought only one ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asked an accountant. "Watch and you'll see", answered one of the engineers.

They all boarded the train. The accountants took their respective seats, but the three engineers all crammed into a rest room and closed the door behind them. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around collecting tickets. He knocked on the restroom door and said, "Ticket please". The door opened slightly and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on. The accountants saw this and decided they would try this on the way home. When they got to the station, the accuntants bought a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers didn't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to ride without a ticket"? said an accountant. "Watch and you'll see", was the reply.

When they boarded the train, the three accountants crammed into a restroom and the three engineers crammed into another one nearby. The train departed and shortly afterward, one of the engineers left his restroom and walked over to the restroom where the accountants were hiding. He knocked on the door and said, "Ticket, please."
