Jokes for the week of 09/27/2010
Here's the ones I got yesterday:
Your new jokes!
There was a brunette standing along side a busy road chanting "88, 88, 88, 88..."
A blonde came up to her and said, "That looks like fun, can I try?"
The brunette said, "Sure."
So the blonde chanted, "88, 88, 88, 88.."
"Well," said the brunette, "that is fun. But what is even more fun is if you say it in the middle of the street."
So the blonde said, "OK." and stood in the middle of the street. "88, 88, 88, 88-" BAM! she was run over by a car, completely flattened.
Along the side of the road, the brunette began to chant, "89, 89, 89, 89..."
***
A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed.
He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband tells his wife:
"Listen, this guy's an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck." If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you."
To which his wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you too!!"
Best Jokes ~ 88, 89...
Best Jokes ~ Another miracle?
A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor says, "Okay, Mrs. Jones, what's the problem?"
The mother says, "It's my daughter Darla, she keeps getting these cravings, she's putting on weight and is sick most mornings."
The doctor gives Darla a good examination then turns to the mother and says, "Well, I don't know how to tell you this but your Darla is pregnant - about 4 months would be my guess."
The mother says, "Pregnant?! She can't be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you Darla?" Darla says, "No mother! I've never even kissed a man!"
The doctor walks over to the window and just stares out it. About five minutes pass and finally the mother says, "Is there something wrong out there doctor?"
The doctor replies, "No, not really, it's just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I'll be darned if I'm going to miss it this time!"
Best Jokes ~ A stranger was seated next to a blonde on the airplane
A stranger was seated next to a blonde on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. The blonde, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger,
- 'What would you like to talk about?'
- 'Oh, I don't know, said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he smiles.
- OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first.
A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?' The stranger, visibly surprised by the blonde's intelligence, thinks about it and says, - 'Hmmm, I have no idea....'
To which the blonde replies,
- 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?'
Best Jokes ~ Blonde paint job
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?" The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
Best Jokes ~ Blonde Car Crash
As a blonde crawls out of her wrecked car, the local sheriff asks her what happened.
The blonde began, "It was the strangest thing! I looked up and saw a tree, so I swerved to the right. Then I saw another tree, so I swerved to left. Then there was another tree, and another and another ..."
The sheriff thought for a minute and then said, "Mam ... I don't know how to tell you this, but the only thing even resembling a tree on this road for thirty miles is your air freshener."
Best Jokes ~ refrigerator
It got crowded in heaven, so, for one day it was decided only to accept people who had really had a bad day on the day they died. St. Peter was standing at the pearly gates and said to the first man, "Tell me about the day you died."
The man said, "Oh, it was awful. I was sure my wife was having an affair, so I came home early to catch her with him. I searched all over the apartment but couldn't find him anywhere. So I went out onto the balcony, we live on the 25th floor, and found this man hanging over the edge by his fingertips. I went inside, got a hammer, and started hitting his hands. He fell, but landed in some bushes. So, I got the refrigerator and pushed it over the balcony and it crushed him. The strain of the act gave me a heart attack, and I died."
St. Peter couldn't deny that this was a pretty bad day, and since it was a crime of passion, he let the man in.
He then asked the next man in line about the day he died. "Well, sir, it was awful," said the second man. "I was doing aerobics on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment when I twisted my ankle and slipped over the edge. I managed to grab the balcony of the apartment below, but some maniac came out and started pounding on my fingers with a hammer. Luckily I landed in some bushes. But, then the guy dropped a refrigerator on me!"
St. Peter chuckled, let him into heaven and decided he could really start to enjoy this job.
"Tell me about the day you died?", he said to the third man in line.
"OK, picture this, I'm naked, hiding inside a refrigerator...."
Best Jokes ~ Flight to New York
A beautiful, well-dressed blonde seats herself in the first class cabin on a cross-country flight, and settles herself in for the trip, smiling prettily at admiring passengers seated around her.
Underway, a flight attendant soon approaches the blonde and says, 'Miss, I'm sorry, but I see that your ticket is for coach, and you're seated in first class; I'm afraid you'll have to move.'
The blonde replies, 'I'm blonde, and I'm beautiful, and I'm going to New York to be a model.'
Slightly incredulous, the attendant alerts the senior flight attendant.
The senior attendant approaches the blonde and says, politely, 'I'm sorry, Miss, but since your ticket is for coach, you'll have to move back.'
The blonde replies, sweetly, 'I'm blonde, and I'm beautiful, and I'm going to New York to be a model' -- and shows no signs of moving.
Frustrated, the senior attendant informs the captain, and he says he'll deal with the problem.
He turns over flight control, walks to the rear, and observes the blonde seated comfortably in first class.
Approaching her with a smile, the captain leans over and speaks quietly into the blonde's ear. Almost immediately, the blonde gathers her things, gets up, and moves quickly to the coach compartment. Amazed, the senior flight attendant asks the captain, 'Captain, I'm impressed ... what did you say to her?'
The captain grinned slyly and said, 'I just told her that the first class cabin doesn't go to New York.'
Best Jokes ~ A doctor and his wife were having a big argument at breakfast...
A doctor and his wife were having a big argument at breakfast. "You aren't so good in bed either!", he shouted and stormed off to work. By mid morning, he decided he'd better make amends and called home. "What took you so long to answer?"
"I was in bed."
"What were you doing in bed this late?"
"Getting a second opinion."

Ice Cream and Birds
A fellow walked into a Baskin & Robbins Ice Cream Parlor on a very hot summery day.
He ordered a double scooped chocolate cone, received it, and then walked away.
Outside on the sidewalk he paused for a bit, then he pulled out a pair of red birds, sat down on a nearby bench with his birds, and placed them on top of his fudgie.
A passerby who glanced over his way and noticed the curious sight, was prompted to ask "What's happening, Bud, with your treat with two birdies alight?"
The fellow replied in a curious way, in an absolute serious tone, "I'm just trying, dear sir, as best I know how, to chill two birds with one cone."

Sapphire Island~ Chapter 2
Chapter 2
"Seth! We have company! NO! Not her.....them! Our brothers are on our island!," Jack hissed.
"Welcome, Susan to Sapphire Island. These are our brothers.," Seth said as he escorted her off the boat.
Susan saw three tall men standing next to each other. The first one on the far left had blonde hair and hazel eyes. The middle brother had red hair and yellow eyes and the brother on the right had black hair and red eyes. Jack shut the boat engine off and tied it to the docks before joining Seth and Susan on the beach.
"Hi, My name is Zane." the red haired brother said.
"Sup, my name is Nick." the blonde brother said.
"Hey pretty lady. The name is Jason. Why don't you come over here and get to know me." Jason said seductively as he smelled Susan's blood and got a huge smile.
Jack quickly saw what Jason was up to so he moved in front of Seth and Susan. Seth stepped in front of Susan and took a defensive stance as Jack passed them. Jason lunged at Susan but Zane and Nick held him back. Susan watched before her head started spinning from everyone moving so fast. She began to fall backwards but she was caught by Seth. He wrapped his left arm around her waist as she fell backwards before giving her a passionate kiss.
"Let me at her! She's mine!" Jason yelled as he showed his fangs.
"Back off! She's with Seth! You are no longer welcome on this island! Jason you are hereby expelled! Now leave!" Jack bellowed before slamming Jason in the nose and breaking it.
"Fucking bastard! You broke my nose!" Jason yelled as Nick and Zane drug him away deeper into the island.
As they left Seth took Susan to his house that he shared with Jack and Rose. Rose saw everything that happened before suddenly appearing next to Jack. Seth carried Susan to his bedroom before laying her on the bed. Jack and Rose went to explore the island for food. As Susan stirred Seth struck her on the neck and began to drink. As he drank she gasped and moaned before finally falling silently asleep.

Sapphire Island~ My first vampire story
Chapter 1
Kadakaluhu
New Years Eve on a deserted island named Kadakaluhu. Fireworks can be heard in the distance and are seen from a nearby ship. A woman watches as a nearby palmtree catches on fire. She didn't know that her life was going to change drastically the next day.
"Oh-no! It's the cure of Kadakaluhu! Someone please help me!" she screamed, before she fainted from the heat of the fire.
The woman had blonde hair and blue eyes. She was 5 feet tall and skinny with slender curves. She was picked up by a tall, sexy, dark haired man with emerald green eyes. This man was obviously strong and superfast because the next thing the woman remembered was waking up on a boat. When she opened her eyes she saw that she was being taken care of by a strong, tall, blonde haired man with blue eyes.
"Where am I? Who are you and how did your eyes change colors?" the woman asked.
"Seth! Get us out of here! NOW! The island is going to blow! Hi, my name is Jack. What is yours?" the blue eyed man said.
"Yeah! I know Jack! Hang on! Whoo-hoo!" Seth yelled, as he put the boat in reverse at full speed.
The now terrified woman looked back at her island. About a minute later an explosion is heard as the island disappears. The woman is now horrified to see her island gone. Jack started to walk over to Seth.
"My name is Susan Markington. Hey, Seth! Thanks for saving me. Jack, was it? Thanks for taking care of me!," she said over the roar of the boat engine.
Jack smiled at Susan as he took over driving the boat. Seth walked over to Susan and he gave her a hug. As she returned the hug she saw an angry look on Jack's face. Susan let go of Seth to see him smile at her. She turned around to see an island with blue gems.

Mystery of the Blue Moon~ Chapter 2
Chapter 2
“Cadet badges? We get to work on the murder case?” Kay asked.
“Yay! We are now official detectives!” Polly exclaimed.
“We can pick up the badges tomorrow. Now let us get some rest. It has been a long day.” Elizabeth replied.
“Hey! Elizabeth! Look! A blue moon?” Kay said as she looked out the window.
Elizabeth and Polly both joined Kay, and they all looked at the blue moon before saying in unison, “Yes, It is blue. What about the blue moon?”
“The moon is supposed to be white! Not blue! Is this a sign?” Kay said defiantly.
“I don’t know.” Polly replied scared.
“It is time for bed. Come on get some rest! We can examine the moon tomorrow night.” Elizabeth replied as she yawned.
~~~~~~~~~More to come soon~~~~~~~~~
Mystery of the Blue Moon
“Mystery of the Blue Moon”
Chapter 1
It was a bright sunny day when all of a sudden it became stormy as rain pounded outside like cats and dogs. The rain was echoing off the walls in the kitchen of a local high school in a small town known as Hendertucky. It was the first day of school and the cafeteria was serving spaghetti and meatballs. All the students loved the meal before they all went to their next class. Then all of a sudden the electricity was cut and the students were all confused.
“What is going on?” one Senior asked.
“I have no clue! I think the storm made the power go out!” a Freshman replied.
“Can we go home?” a Junior asked.
“No! You may not!” the teachers said.
After all the teachers took roll and the school went on lockdown, one kitchen worker had stayed after hours to clean up a giant spill over by the dishwasher. The spill was a gallon of tomato sauce and all the other workers had left from food poisoning, all of them except for Heather Shaperstine.
“Thank goodness I did not eat the meatballs. I can not go home sick if everyone else left from eating the bad meat. This spill will take forever to clean up with no one to help me,” Heather said.
Jason Knowlington was a janitor at Knight Grave High School. He had stayed after to lock up the kitchen and do other janitorial things. Little did Jason or Heather know but a female student was lurking in the kitchen dressed in black. Elizabeth Grungington watched from behind a trashcan as the janitor took out a knife and snuck up on the kitchen worker. Jason stabbed Heather in the heart before slitting her throat. He then left the knife and looked around. Elizabeth quickly ducked behind the trashcan and held her breath.
"Who goes there? Come on out! NOW!" Jason yelled.
Elizabeth stayed hidden and quiet as Jason left the room. He had left Heather lying on the floor dead. After Jason left Elizabeth ran home and told her parents what had happened. Meanwhile, Jason finished cleaning the school and went home for the night.
“Mom! Dad! Come quickly! The janitor just killed the lunch lady at school!” Elizabeth yelled as she ran into the house.
“What are you talking about Elizabeth?” her mother asked.
“The janitor at school just killed the lunch lady!” Elizabeth cried.
“Elizabeth! Calm down. Why would the janitor kill the lunch lady?” her father asked.
“You two never believe me! I will just have to figure this out with the help of a few friends!” Elizabeth cried as she went upstairs to her room.
After slamming the door shut Elizabeth picked up her cell phone and called her two best friends, Kay Everstine and Polly Longville. Kay and Polly decide to meet Elizabeth at the park the next day. After the storm passed that night everything calmed down. The next morning Elizabeth met Kay and Polly at the park by her house. It was the weekend and the girls had no homework. Elizabeth told her friends what had happened the night before at school.
“Are you sure the janitor killed that lunch lady?” Kay asked Elizabeth.
“Yes! I saw him kill her last night during the storm. Will you both help me prove that he killed her?” Elizabeth asked her friends.
“I believe you, but how will we prove that the janitor did it?” Polly asked.
“He left the knife at the scene of the crime! If we can get it and fingerprint it then we will have our proof!” Elizabeth exclaimed.
A cop pulls up to the park and gets out of the vehicle. Elizabeth and her friends continue to talk about school while looking at a bunny. The officer walks over to them and saw that they were acting suspicious. The three girls looked at the rabbit as it ate a carrot not noticing the officer approaching. The rabbit watched them talk before hopping back home.
“So cute! I love bunnies!” Kay said.
“Yeah! Me too! Uh, Can we please focus on the matter at hand?” Elizabeth said.
“What seems to be the matter here? I was informed of a domestic disturbance coming from this area.” The policeman said.
“Uh, no disturbance here. My friend Elizabeth just saw the janitor murder our lunch lady last night during the storm. We do not know who to turn to for help.” Polly said to the cop.
“I see. Well, I would like you three to show me where the murder took place and any clues you may have.” The officer said.
Elizabeth did not trust the officer but she knew they had no other person to turn to. She walked to the school with the officer and her friends. They all entered the kitchen to see the body still in the same spot with the knife laying next to her.
“Tell me exactly what happened last night during the storm.” Officer Truffles said.
“The janitor stabbed her in the heart with the knife and then he slit her throat. I was hiding behind this trashcan watching the whole thing.” Elizabeth said as she pointed at the trashcan by the staff break room.
“There is evidence and a body so he must have been an amateur killer. I will have to have you file a police report in order for a case to be made.” The officer replied as he studied the body from afar.
“What is the red stuff around the blood?” Kay asked.
“Tomato sauce. Remember we had pasta yesterday for lunch!” Polly said.
“Hey! This was not here last night. Did the janitor leave it behind?” Elizabeth said as she saw a paper on the lunch lady.
The officer called for a forensics team and put on white gloves. He then picked up the paper and unfolded it. He saw that it was a love letter from the janitor. The forensics team showed up and began roping off the crime scene.
“I see….a love letter from the janitor to the lunch lady. Well I will talk with the principal on Monday and see what this is all about.” Officer Truffles said as he put the note in an evidence bag.
Officer Truffles then picked up the knife and stuck it in another evidence bag. He then took out a small container and a pipette. He squeezed some of the sauce into the container and put it into evidence as well. Polly and Kay had heard a truck outside so they went to see who it was. They saw that it was the janitor who had returned. Jason had forgotten that he left his wallet at school and he had wanted to buy a pizza for dinner that night.
“Elizabeth! He has returned! The janitor!” Kay hissed.
“Yes. He must have forgotten something.” Polly said.
“Stand aside children. Actually you three can go home now.” Officer Truffles said.
“Aw….Why can’t we help you?” Polly asked.
“This is official police business now. It is no place for children.” Officer Truffles replied.
“Fine! Elizabeth! Come on! We should go to the movies!” Kay said.
Jason had found his wallet and he had already left by the time that Kay, Polly and Elizabeth had decided on what to finally do that day. The officer and the forensics team had already covered the body and taken fingerprints of the surrounding area.
“Hey! Who wants pizza?” Officer Truffles asked.
“Me! I do!” Elizabeth said.
“Yum! Pizza!” Kay exclaimed.
“Are you sure we should be eating pizza here? It is a crime scene after all.” Polly said.
“It is on me! Come on! I will take you out for lunch.” Officer Truffles said as he called up the pizza place and had a pizza delivered.
The pizza man was the janitor’s twin brother and he was the one delivering the pizza. Kay, Elizabeth and Polly all assisted the forensics team by giving them explanations of what Elizabeth had seen the previous night. As the pizza man arrived and brought the pizza to the door of the kitchen, Officer Truffles and Polly waited to pay him for their lunch. The pizza man hit the buzzer and Polly opened the door to let him in. Officer Truffles paid the pizza man and told him to step over to the side so he could question him on his whereabouts the night before.
“What are you talking about?” the pizza man said.
“I am talking about a murder taking place here in this cafeteria. The janitor is our only suspect right now and you are acting suspicious.” Officer Truffles replied.
“I was out delivering pizzas until 10:00 last night. I then went home and fell asleep! I know nothing about a murder, but my brother did not get home until 2:00 in the morning. His name is Jason Knowlington.” Jason’s brother replied.
“Thank-you for telling me your brother’s name. Okay, I believe you, but please if you have anything else let me know immediately.” Officer Truffles said as he handed Jason’s brother his card and the money for the pizza.
“I will let you know immediately if anything comes up. Thank-you.” The pizza man said.
Officer Truffles let the pizza guy leave before turning back to the forensics team, Elizabeth and her friends. They all ate the pizza outside the cafeteria as a little lunch break. Before returning back to work the officer got a call from his dispatcher. A bank robbery was happening nearby with hostages.
“This is Truffles. I am on my way to the destination.” Officer Truffles said.
“Do you have to go now?” Polly asked sadly.
“Unfortunately yes. A bank is being robbed and it is a stand off situation. I am sorry Elizabeth. The forensics team will help you from here on. Good luck.” Officer Truffles said as he returned to his police car and drove away.
“Bye Officer Truffles! Stay safe!” Kay called after him as she waved.
“Come on Kay! It is time to return to the scene of the crime!” Polly said.
Elizabeth, Kay and Polly returned to the kitchen with the forensics team and they continued to dust for prints, as well as take photographs of the crime scene. When they were finished four hours later, Elizabeth and her friends thanked the forensics team and returned to Elizabeth’s house. Meanwhile, Officer Truffles had finally caught up with the janitor and saw that he was the one behind the bank robbery.
“Why is the janitor robbing the bank?” he thought to himself as he watched Jason leave the bank with nothing. It had gone from a bright sunny day to a cloudy day with a blue moon. Was this strange weather that was happening or was it a conspiracy.
“Freeze! Put your hands in the air!” Officer Truffles yelled as he took out his gun.
Jason stopped walking to his vehicle and did as he was told. Officer Truffles walked over to Jason and tried arrest him for the murder of Heather Shaperstine, but Jason took out a gun and shot Officer Truffles in the head. The swat team then moved in and successfully arrested Jason. After calling Elizabeth, Kay and Polly, Officer Grappling told them the sad news about Officer Truffles.
“What? No! He was helping us with a murder case!” Elizabeth said into the phone.
“Were there any witnesses or other suspects?” Officer Grappling asked.
“Yes. The janitor’s brother, uh he is a pizza man!” Kay said.
“Thank-you. We have arrested the janitor and we will bring in the pizza man for questioning. Good work you three! The funeral for Officer Truffles will be held soon. I will call you with the details when I find them out. Stop by the police station to receive your official cadet badges.” Officer Grappling replied before hanging up.
