Miscellaneous quotes:

Shakespeare: “brevity is the soul of wit”. Dorothy Parker: “brevity is the soul of lingerie”.

A quote from a totally correct novelist I’ve never heard of: “Progress would be wonderful, if only it would stop!”

A quote from Damon Runyon: “The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that’s the way to place the bet”.

Longish :)

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, right up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said
"I would like to buy some cyanide."

The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."

The pharmacists eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy!I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. 

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now. That's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

My husband has trouble controlling his hands and grabbing things. One day while I was fixing him up in his bed, he grabbed a breast. I said "you don't have any trouble getting to these" and we laughed.

After almost a week caring for my mother, I am on my way home.
Funny thing is, the lady at my side in the 2+ hour bus trip spent the whole time texting and trying to shield her phone from me.
As if! As if I had any interest on that Carla that is dating the higher ups to get a promotion ahead of her, or if Prissy will finally break up with Max, leaving him free to Jane try her luck, nor if her father is spending all his retirement money at that Bingo Club.

Its a bit long, but stick it out. ;)

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 Arleen, 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."

Three siblings made a bet: who would give the best gift to their aging mother.
The first bought her a huge house.
The second was not called Lloyd, but bought her a Mercedes-Benz.
The third remembered her faith and devotion, and how she was complaining about not being able to read the Bible no more. So, he bought a rare parrot, and hired monks to teach it to repeat Scripture. In the end, he spent more than the other two. We’re talking eight digits here.

After two months, they asked her what gift she liked the most.
“John. Do you think in my age I have energy to clean that house, or to manage all the workers needed to run it? Not to mention how expensive it is. No, I’d rather be on a simple room-and-bathroom studio.”
“Daisy. I can barely see, what do you think I would do with a car? It’s collecting dust and I still need a cab or lift to go around.”
“Mike, you’re the only one who really thought about me. That chicken was delicious.”

I can’t ignore that most jokes are sexist, racist, classist or whatever ...ist. But here goes…
The blonde went to spend some days at her friends house. Showering the first day, she asked for some shampoo.
"It's there, the yellow bottle."
"No, I need another one."
"Why?"

And some middle-of-the-road political joke/ quotes:

Jean Colbert, Minister of Finances in France, said “The art of taxation is to pluck the goose to get the most feathers with the least hissing”.

From Mark Twain: “Dear reader, suppose you are an idiot; then suppose you are a member of Congress: but I repeat myself...”.

This joke comes with a warning. Its a bit rude.

They only manage to catch one man between them.

First one started at the foot and when he got to the ankle he said to the other one,

Second one said,
"I'm having a ball"

Okay, I'm going to subject you to one of my mother's favorite jokes. There was once a little girl who received two gifts for Christmas: a watch, and a bottle of perfume. She was very excited about both gifts and loved to listen to the watch ticking [yes, some of us do recall when watches ticked], and dabbing the perfume behind her ears...Well, the minister was invited to dinner and the little girl really wanted to show off her presents but her parents told her in no uncertain terms that she had better behave herself at the dinner table...so dinner progressed, and the little girl simply couldn't contain her excitement any longer, and blurted out "If you HEAR anything or SMELL anything, IT'S ME!"

The genuine road side signs around here often make me chuckle. Why not, when you see a sign that simply says ‘Rhubarb Pie’. But my favourite winter sign, outside a pub near us, says ‘Open Fire’. I always wonder whether to duck!
