Laughter is the best medicine

No one can beat the Caribbean people for their sense of humor.

We can take anything and get humor out of it.

This was nominated for  best joke of the year - worth sharing. A  Somalian arrives in Vancouver as a  new immigrant to Canada .  He  stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says  ... 'Thank you Mr. Canadian for letting me in this country, giving me housing,  money for food, free  medical care, free education and no taxes!'

The passerby says, 'You are mistaken, I am  Mexican.'

The  man goes on and encounters another passerby. ' Thank you for having such a  beautiful country here in Canada !'

The person says, 'I not Canadian, I Vietnamese.'

The  new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand  and says, 'Thank you for the wonderful Canada !'

That person puts up his hand  and says, 'I am from Middle East , I am not Canadian !'

He  finally sees a nice lady and asks, 'Are you a Canadian ?'

She says , 'No, I am  from Africa !'

Puzzled, he asks her, 'Where are all the  Canadians ?'

The  African lady checks her watch and says ...'Probably at  work'

Little Zachary was doing quite badly in math. His parents had tried everything. tutors, mentors, flash cards, Special Learning Centers. In short, everything they could think of to help his math.

               

Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother Hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work.

                       

His mother was amazed She called him down to dinner. To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.

                   

Finally, little Zachary brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her great surprise Little Zachary got an "A" in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity.

              

She went to his room and said, "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?"

                   

Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. "Well, then," she replied, "Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms?"

              

Little Zachary looked at her and said, "On the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."


The old farmer had a large pond in the back, fixed up nicely with picnic tables, a barbecue pit, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.

One evening, the old guy decided to go down to the pond and look it over.

He hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.

As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny dipping in his pond. As he approached, he made the women aware of his presence.

At once, they all went to the deep end.

One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave."

The old man frowned, "I did not come down here to watch you young ladies swim naked, or to make you get out of the pond naked."

Holding up the bucket, he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."



One day, a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The Teacher was explaining evolution to the children. The Teacher asked a little boy:
TEACHER:   Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY:     Yes.
TEACHER:   Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY:     Yes.
TEACHER:     Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY:      Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER:     Did you see GOD?
TOMMY:      No.
TEACHER:    That's my point. We can't see GOD because HE isn't there.
HE just doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up wanting to ask the boy some questions.  TheTeacher agreed.

LITTLE GIRL:   Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY:       Yes.

LITTLE GIRL:   Tommy do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY:       Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL:   Did you see the sky?

TOMMY:       Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL;   Tommy, do you see the Teacher?

TOMMY:       Yes

LITTLE GIRL:   Do you see her brain?

TOMMY:       No

LITTLE  GIRL:  Then according to what we were taught today, she doesn't have one...........

Subject: Cattle Call (Give me back my damn dog) 
      A west Texas cowboy was herding his cattle in a remote pasture
when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. 

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?" 
The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?" 
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his AT&T cell phone, and surfs to a
NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. 
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a
response. 
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his
hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?" 

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?" 
"You're a Congressman for the U.S. government" says the cowboy
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess
 that?" 
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer
I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cattle... Now give me back my dog."

 

A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette

convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road,

he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through

what little hair he hadleft.

  "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the

pedal even more.

  Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway patrol

 behind him,blue lights flashing and siren blaring.

  He floored it to 100mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he

 thought,"What  am I  doing? I'm too old for this," and pulled

 over to await the  Trooper's  arrival. Pulling in behind him,

 the Trooper walked up to the Corvette,  looked at his watch

 and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday.

If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard

 before, I'll let you go."

  The old gentleman paused. Then said,"Years  ago, my wife

ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were

bringing her back."

  "Have a good day, Sir," replied the Trooper.

 

Baked beans?

If this doesn't make you laugh out loud, nothing

will...

Once there lived a woman who had a maddening

passion for baked beans.  She loved them but unfortunately,

they had always had a very embarrassing and somewhat lively

reaction to her. Then one day she met a man and fell

in love. When it became apparent that they would marry

she thought to herself, "He is such a sweet and gentle

man, he would never go for this carrying on."

She made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

Some months later her car broke down on the way home from

work. Since she lived in the country she called her

husband and told him that she would be late because she had

 to walk home.

On her way, she passed a small diner and the smell of the

baked beans was more than she could stand.

Since she still had miles to walk, she figured that

she would walk off any ill effects by the time she

reached home.

So, she stopped at the diner and before she knew it,

she had consumed three large orders of baked beans.

All the way home she putt-putted, and upon arriving

home she felt reasonably sure she could control it.

Her husband seemed excited to see her and exclaimed delightedly,"Darling, I have a surprise for dinner

tonight. He then blindfolded her and led her to her chair at

the table.  She seated herself and just as he was about

to remove the blindfold from his wife, the telephone rang.

He made her promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned.

He then went to answer the telephone.

The baked beans she had consumed were still affecting

her and the pressure was becoming almost unbearable,so while her husband was out of the room she seized

the opportunity, shifted her weight to one leg and let it go.

It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck

running over a skunk in front of pulpwood mill.

She took her napkin and fanned the air around her vigorously.

Then, she shifted to the other cheek and ripped three

more, which reminded her of cooked cabbage.

keeping her ears tuned to the conversation in the

other room she went on like this for another ten minutes.

When the telephone farewells signaled the end of her freedom,

she fanned the air a few more times with her napkin,

placed it on her lap and folded her hands upon it,

smiling contentedly to herself.

She was the picture of innocence when her husband

returned, apologizing for taking so long, he asked her if she

peeked, and she assured him that she had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and she was

surprised! There were twelve dinner guests seated around the table to wish her "Happy Birthday"!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two Jamaican neighbaz were living in Florida (in true yard-style). One called the FBI.........

"Ello?"
"Ello, is dis de FBI?"

"This will be noted, Sir."

Next day, the FBI goons went over to the McIntyre's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept, broke every piece of wood, find no marijuana, swear at Mr. McIntyre and leave.

The phone rings over at McIntyre's house:

"Hey, McIntyre! di FBI dem come?"

"Yeh Man, Dem chop up de whole ah it - mi have nuff firewood now. Mi can even sell some."
"Okay, a fi mi turn now. Yuh hafi call dem. A need mi garden plow up."



Ah hava weakness fuh sweetness...

 

A sardar is an Indian with a turban

A Sardar and an American are seated next to each other on a flight
from Los Angeles to New York . The American asks if he would
like to play a fun-game.

The Sardar, tired, just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and
rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The American persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.

He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know
the answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa."

Again, the Sardar declines and tries to get some sleep.

The American, now worked up, says, "Okay, if you don't
know the answer, you pay me $5,
and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $500."

This gets the sardar's attention and, figuring there
will be no end to this torment, agrees to the game.
The American asks the first question, "What's the
distance from the earth to the moon?"

The Sardar doesn't say a word, reaches into his wallet, pulls out a $5 bill and
hands it to the American.

"Okay," says the American, "Your turn."

So the Sardar asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"

The American thinks about it. No answer.

Puzzled, he takes out his laptop computer and searches
all his references. No answer!

He taps into the air-phone with his modem and searches
the Internet and the Library of Congress. No answer.

Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and co-workers.

Checks the input. All to no avail!

Finally, a long time later, he wakes the Sardar and
hands him $500.

The Sardar thanks him and turns back to get his sleep.

The American, more than a little miffed, stirs the
Sardar and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"

Without a word, the Sardar reaches into his purse, hands
the American $5, and goes back to sleep!

An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as
part of his physical exam.
The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a
semen sample tomorrow."
The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office
and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.
The doctor asked what happened and the man explained: "Well, doc, it's like
this - first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my
left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with
her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth,
first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.
We even called up Arlene, the lady next door and she tried too, first with
both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her
knees, but still nothing."
The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor?"
The old man replied, "Yep. None of us could get the jar open".

Fuel Crisis

 A man was driving  down the road and ran out of petrol. Just at that moment,
 a bee flew in his  window. The bee said, "What  seems to be the problem"? 
"I'm out of  petrol." 
The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away.
Minutes later, the man watched as an  entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his petrol tank. After a few  minutes, the bees flew out.
"Try it now," said one bee.
The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up.
"Wow!" the man exclaimed. "What did you put in my petrol tank"?
 

 The bee answered,  "BP."

WITN ESS:      Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.


The Honest Wife


A man who was driving a car with his wife was stopped by a police officer.

The following exchange took place.

The man says, "What's the problem, officer?"

Officer: "You were going at least 75 in a 55 zone."

Man: "No sir, I was going 65."

Wife: "Oh, Harry. You were going 80." (The man gave his wife a dirty look.)

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt."

Man: "Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car."

Wife: "Oh Harry, you never wear your seat belt."

The man turned to his wife and yelled, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

The officer turned to the woman and asked, "Ma'am, does your husband talk to you this way all the time?"

The wife said, "No, only when he's drunk."

 

Your Horse Phoned

  A guy is sitting quietly reading his paper when his wife
sneaks up behind him and whacks him on the head with a frying pan. 
"What was that for?" he asks. 
"That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with  the name Marylou written on it," she replies.
"Two weeks ago when I went to the races, Marylou was the 
name Of one of The horses I bet on," he explains. She looks satisfied 
and apologizes. 
 
Three days later he's again sitting in his chair reading 
when she nails him with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him out 
cold. 
When he comes to, he says, "What the hell was that for?" 
"Your horse phoned!!"

    

A married Trini went into the confessional and said to his priest,
 
"I almos' had an affair wid annuder woman. "
 
"The priest said, "What you mean, almost?"
 
The Trini said, "Well, we get undress' and rub up an' ting, but den I stop."
 
The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in.
You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box."
 
The Trini left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave.
 
The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!"
 
The Trini replied, "Yeah fadder, buh hear me nah, ah rub de $50 on de box, and 'cordin' to you, dat is de same as puttin' it in."

Andre`Lashley of Diego Martin, Trinidad was going up to bed

when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden

shed,which she could see from the bedroom window.

Andre` opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw

that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked is someone in your house?" and

he told them no.

Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should

simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.

Andre`said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police

again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were

people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now

cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit,

and an ambulance showed up at the Lashleys residence. Of course,

the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to Andre: "I thought you said that

you'd shot them!"

Andre said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

(True Story) I LOVE IT!

Now that's how you call the POLICE.
