| During his routine medical check, Paddy asked the doctor, "Do you think I'll live a long and healthy life ?" "I don't know", said the doctor, "Mercury is in Uranus right now." Paddy said, "I don't go in for any of that astrology nonsense." "Neither do I", replied the doctor, "My thermometer just broke in your ass." |
| During my School Days, I came home with my Maths Mark Sheet showing 90 marks scored by me in an exam, hoping to get compliments from my Dad. However, once my Dad took a glance of it, he said I added the 0 on the Mark Sheet to make it 90 and beat me a lot. I told him honestly that I didn't add the 0 but he wouldn't believe me. I felt so depressed that my Dad did not believe me that I did not add the 0.... and till date don't know why my Dad kept saying I added the 0. Actually I added 9. |
| He was a widower and she a widow. They had known each other for a number of years being high school classmates and having attended class reunions in the past without fail. This 60th anniversary of their class, they had a wonderful evening, their spirits high. The widower throws admiring glances across the table. The widow smiling coyly back at him. Finally, he gathered courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?" After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, "Yes,..... yes I will!" The evening ended on a happy note for the widower. But the next morning he was troubled. Did she say "Yes" or did she say "No?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. He went over the conversation of the previous evening, but his mind was blank. He remembered asking the question but for the life of him he could not recall her response. With fear and trepidation he picked up the phone and called her. First, he explained that he couldn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the past evening. As he gained a little more courage he then inquired of her, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No?' "Why you silly man, I said 'Yes, Yes I will.' And I meant it with all my heart." The widower was delighted. He felt his heart skip a beat. Then she continued. "And I am so glad you called because.... I couldn't remember who asked me."
