Ezzy's Joke of the day: The Engineer At the Golf Course

13 Apr

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer wait for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumes, “What’s with these guys? We’ve been waiting for 15
minutes!”

The pastor says, “Hey, here comes the groundskeeper. Let’s have a word with him.”

“Say, George, what’s with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?” the doctor asks.

The groundskeeper tells them that the other golfers are a group of blind firefighters who lost their sight saving the clubhouse from a fire and that they
come and play for free whenever they want.

The group is silent for a moment.

The pastor says, “That’s so sad. I will say a special prayer for them tonight.”

The doctor says, “Good idea. I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there’s anything he can do for them.”

The engineer says, “Why can’t these guys play at night?” 

Ezzy's Joke of the Day: Lucky Driver

12 Apr

A police officer pulls over a driver and informs him that he has just won $5,000 in a safety competition, all because he is wearing his seat belt.

“What are you going to do with the prize money?” the officer asks.

The man responds, “I guess I’ll go to driving school and get my license.”

His wife says, “Officer, don’t listen to him. He’s a smart aleck when he’s drunk.”

The guy in the back seat pops up out from under the blanket and says, “I knew we wouldn’t get far in this stolen car.”

Just then a knock comes from the trunk and a voice calls out, “Are we over the border yet?”

Ezzy's Joke of the Day

11 Apr

A farmer walked into an attorney’s office wanting to file for a
divorce. The attorney asked, “May I help you?” The farmer said,
“Yea, I want to get one of those dayvorce’s.”
The attorney said, “well do you have any grounds?” The farmer
said, “Yea, I got about 140 acres.” The attorney said, ” No, you
don’t understand, do you have a case?” The farmer said, “No, I
don’t have a Case, but I have a John Deere.”
The attorney said, “No you don’t understand, I mean do you have
a grudge?” The farmer said, “Yea I got a grudge, that’s where I
park my John Deere.” The attorney said, “No sir, I mean do you
have a suit?”
The farmer said, “Yes sir, I got a suit. I wear it in church on
Sundays.”
The exasperated attorney said, “Well sir, does your
wife beat you up or anything?”
The farmer said, “No sir, we both get up about 4:30.”
Finally, the attorney says, “Okay, let me put it this way. “WHY
DO YOU WANT A DIVORCE?”
And the farmer says, “Well, I can never have a meaningful
conversation with her.”

Ezzy's Joke of the Day: Getting Forgetful

10 Apr

Three old ladies sit in a diner, discussing their health.

One lady says, “You know, I’m getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn’t remember whether I had just
come up or was about to go down.”

The second lady says, “You think that’s bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn’t remember whether I was going to sleep or
had just woken up!”

The third lady smiles smugly. “Well, my memory is just as good as it’s always been, knock on wood,” she says as she raps on the table. Then with a startled
look on her face, she asks, “Who’s there?” 

Religious Solicitors

9 Apr

I saved these last summer. I find some of these letters written to Abby humorous. What do you think?

DEAR ABBY: “Hounded in British Columbia” (May 22) asked you how to discourage religious solicitors. What many people may not realize is that once you accept
a piece of literature or have a long conversation with the person, that person will note your name and address so they can “return visit” you. Then not
only will you be visited by others in their religion, but the person who gave you the literature will start calling on you regularly, hoping to engage
you in future religious conversations and Bible study.

The most effective way to discourage these visits is to politely state you’re not interested as quickly as possible. Do not take any literature or engage
in any discussion if you don’t want them to return. You should also tell them to note on their “territory card” that you want no more calls at your house
in the future. This can be done kindly and with a smile. — DOOR KNOCKER IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR DOOR KNOCKER: Thank you for the inside information. Requesting that you be placed on the “No Call” list seems simple enough and can be done politely.
The solicitors are supposed to honor the request of those who ask not to be called on anymore. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: I was faithful going door-to-door representing my church. And I agree that people have to be firm with someone who is truly hounding them. These
solicitors believe they are doing the will of God and are taught that they may be “persecuted” for their faith. Some are chastised for not doing enough
“soul searching,” as they call it.

I can no longer stand going door-to-door, but people who do it deserve respect and a straightforward answer. — FORMER RELIGIOUS SOLICITOR

DEAR FORMER RELIGIOUS SOLICITOR: Then it’s clear to you how offended some people become when some solicitors won’t take “no” for an answer. Many readers
offered solutions to handling the intrusion — including humor. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: May I share my method? As soon as I heard the words “Jehovah’s Witness,” I simply said, “I’m sorry, but I didn’t see the accident,” and closed
my door. — AMY IN THE SOUTHWEST

DEAR ABBY: I told the solicitors I would gladly listen to everything they had to say for 50 minutes, and I charge only $40. Cash, please. As first they
were confused, but I explained that this is what my time is worth. They not only went away, they never returned. — JUDY IN NEVADA

DEAR ABBY: We hung this sign on our front door, “We love our vacuum, we’ve found God, and we gave at the office!” This worked for us. — LESLIE IN THE WEST

DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine had a unique solution to dissuade religious visitors from dropping by. She told them she was a practicing witch. She said they
couldn’t leave fast enough. — CINDY IN OHIO

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I got those unwelcome visitors every few weeks. We told them politely we weren’t interested, but they kept returning. One day, the
bell rang as I was getting out of the shower. I answered the door wearing only a towel, stepped back, spread my arms and did my best imitation of Bob Barker,
“COME ONNN INNN!”

They jumped back and beat a hasty retreat. When my wife came home she said it was an awful thing to do … but we were never bothered again. — UNREPENTANT
IN RIDGECREST, CALIF.

He opens the door and says to the receptionist, “I think I need my eyes
