Day Brightener – Outdoorsy Man Especially For Us Golfers

outdoorDuring his physical, the doctor asked the patient about his daily activity level.

The golfer described a typical day this way:

  • “Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake,
  • Drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush,
  • Jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake,
  • Marched up and down several rocky hills,
  • Stood in a patch of poison ivy,
  • Crawled out of quicksand
  • And took four leaks behind big trees.”

Inspired by the story, the doctor said, “You must be one hell of an outdoors man!”

”NAH,” he replied, “I’m just a shitty golfer.”

Day Brightener – Sometimes Things Have Different Meanings To Different People!

SargentA crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation.

“Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?”

“Negative, ma’am. Just serious by nature.”

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, “It looks like you have seen a lot of action.”

“Yes, ma’am, a lot of action.”

The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, “You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself.”

The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner.

Finally the young lady said, “You know, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?”

“1955, ma’am.”

“Well, there you are. No wonder you’re so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to “relax” him several times.

Afterwords, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, “Wow, you sure didn’t forget much since 1955.”

The Sergeant Major said, after glancing at his watch, “I hope not; it’s only 2130 now.”

Day Brightener – Here’s How To Get A Free Drink

Irish PubSeamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn’t have a lot of money between them; they could only raise the staggering sum of one Euro.

Murphy said “Hang on, I have an idea”

He went next door to the butcher’s shop and came out with one large sausage.

Seamus said “Are you crazy” Now we don’t have any money at all!?

Murphy replied, “Don’t worry – just follow me”

He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamieson Whisky.

Seamus said “Now you’ve lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven’t got any money!!”

Murphy replied, with a smile. “Don’t worry; I have a plan, Cheers!”

They downed their Drinks. Murphy said, “OK, I’ll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth.”

The barman noticed them, went berserk, and threw them out.

They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk, all for free.

At the tenth pub Seamus said “Murphy – I don’t think I can do any more of this. I’m drunk and me knees are killing me!”

Murphy said, “How do you think I feel” I can’t even remember which pub I lost the sausage in”

Day Brightener – What Part Of Your Body Gets To Heaven First?

Angel 2The nun teaching Sunday School was speaking to her class one morning and she asked the question, “When you die and go to Heaven , which part of your body do you think goes first?”

Suzy raised her hand and said, “I think it’s your hands.”  

“Why do you think it’s your hands, Suzy?”

Suzy replied, “Because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and God just takes your hands first.”

“What a wonderful answer!” the nun said 

Little Johnny raised his hand and said “Sister, I think it’s your feet.”

The nun looked at him with the strangest look on her face. “Now Johnny, why do you think  it would be your feet? ”  

Little Johnny said, “Well, I walked into Mommy and Daddy’s  bedroom the other night. Mommy had her legs straight up in the air and she was saying,  ‘Oh God, I’m coming.’

I gotta’ tell you, if Dad hadn’t  pinned her down, we’d have lost  her.”  

The Nun fainted.

Friday Frivolity – Those Blondes Again

irish blondeTwo blondes were filling up at a gas station and the first blonde says to the second, “I bet these awful gas prices are going to go even higher.” The second blonde replies, “Won’t affect me, I always put in just $10 worth.”

A blonde and her husband are lying in bed listening to the next door Neighbour’s dog. It has been in the backyard barking for hours and hours. The blonde jumps up out of bed and says “I’ve had enough of this”. She goes downstairs. The blonde finally comes back up to bed and her husband says “The dog is still barking; what have you been doing?” The blonde says, “I’ve put the dog in our backyard, let’s see how they like it.

  
One day, Jill’s husband came home from the office and found her sobbing convulsively.“I feel terrible,” she told him. “I was pressing your suit and I burned a big hole in the seat of your trousers.” “Forget it,” consoled her husband. “Remember that I bought an extra pair of pants for that suit.” “Yes, and it’s lucky for you that you did,” said Jill, drying her eyes. “I used them to patch the hole.”
 
Two blondes were walking down the road and the first blonde said, “Look at that dog with one eye!” The other blonde covers one of her eyes and says, “Where?”
  
A blonde decided to redecorate her bedroom. She wasn’t sure how many rolls of wallpaper she would need, but she knew that her blonde friend from next door had recently done the same job and the two rooms were identical in size. “Buffy,” she said, “How many rolls of wallpaper did you buy for your bedroom?” “Ten,” said Buffy. So the blonde bought the ten rolls of paper and did the job, but she had 2 rolls leftover. “Buffy,” she said. “I bought ten rolls of wallpaper for the bedroom, but I’ve got 2 leftover!” “Yes,” said Buffy. “So did I.”
 
A blonde bought two horses and could never remember which was which. A neighbor suggested that she cut off the tail of one horse, which worked great until the other horse got his tail caught in a bush. The second horse’s tail tore in the same place and looked exactly like the other horse’s tail. Our blonde friend was stuck again. The neighbour then suggested that she notch the ear of one horse, which worked fine until the other horse caught his ear on a barbed wire fence. Once again, our blonde friend couldn’t tell the two horses apart. The neighbour then suggested that she measure the horses for height. When she did that, the blonde was very pleased to find that the white horse was 2 inches taller than the black one
 
Blonde Interview
The executive was interviewing a young blonde for a position in his company. He wanted to find out something about her personality so he asked, “If you could have a conversation with any person, living or dead, who would that be?” The blonde quickly responded, “The living one.”

Day Brightener – No Greater Love

StadiumA man had 50-yard line tickets for the Super Bowl.. As he sat down, he noticed that the seat next to him was empty. He asked the man on the other side of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there. “No,” the man replied. “The seat is empty.”*

“This is incredible,” said the first man. “Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl,  the biggest sporting event in the world and not use it?”*

The second man replied, “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This will be the first Super bowl we haven’t been together since we got married in 1967.”*

“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. But couldn’t you find someone else — a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?”

The man sadly shook his head. “No, they’re all at the funeral.”

Day Brightener – One Never Knows!

Airport BarI was standing at the bar of Terminal 3 International Airport when this small Chinese guy comes in, stands next to me and starts drinking a beer.

I asked him, “Do you know any of those martial arts things, like Kung-Fu, Karate or Ju-Jitsu?”

He says “No, why the fuck you ask me that? Is it because I Chinese?”

“No”, I said,

“It’s because you’re drinking my beer, you little prick.”

​It doesn’t hurt to be cautious!!​

Day Brightener – In Golf As In Other Pursuits Be Careful What You Ask For

David Feherty ImageDavid Feherty does a standup show that is quite spectacular. It’s all about his life in golf, the drinking and lots of stories about life on the tour. Here’s one of his stories.

Golfer and CaddieIt was back in the 70s and a very prominent golfer of the time was playing at Augusta for his first Masters…back then the players could not bring their own caddies but had to use one of the locals. This particular golfer told the caddy master he wanted a big fellow who could handle his bag but who also would keep quiet, no advice needed. He was assigned Floyd who said ” hello Mr. ………..”. The golfer said ” hello ” and ” that’s the last I want to hear.”

Everything went well until the 10th hole when the golfer pushed his drive into the right trees on the par 4…after surveying the scene he said out loud….”I’m going to hit a low fade out through that opening to carry and land mid green and roll over the crest down near the hole”.  Surprisingly he pulled it off exactly and turned to his caddy and said ” how’s that? “

The caddy spoke for the first time and said ” that wasn’t your ball.”
