A woman walks into a tattoo parlour and asks:
- Do you do custom work?
- Why of course!
- Good. I'd like a portrait of Robert Redford on the inside of my right thigh, and a portrait of Paul Newman on the inside of my left thigh.
- No problem - says the artist - Strip from the waist down and get up on the table.
After two hours of hard work, the artist finishes.
The woman sits up and examines the tattoos.
- That doesn't look like them! - she complains loudly.
- Oh yes it does - the artist says indignantly - and I can prove it. With that, he runs out of the shop and grabs the first man off the street he can find; it happens to be the town drunk.
- Well, what do you think? - the woman asks, spreading her legs - Do you know who these men are?
The drunk studies the tattoos for a couple of minutes and says:
- I'm not sure who the guys on either side are, but the fellow in the middle is definately Willie Nelson!
A lady named Linda went to Arkansas last week to visit her in-laws, and while there, went to a store. She parked next to a car with a woman sitting in it, her eyes closed and hands behind her head, apparently sleeping. When Linda came out a while later, she again saw the woman, her hands still behind her head but with her eyes open.
The woman looked very strange, so Linda tapped on the window and said:
- Are you okay?
The woman answered:
- I've been shot in the head, and I am holding my brains in.
Linda didn't know what to do, so she ran into the store, where store workers called the paramedics. They had to break into the car because the door was locked. When they got in, they found that the woman had bread dough on the back of her head and in her hands.
A Pillsbury biscuit cannister had exploded, apparently from the heat in the car, making a loud explosion like that of a gunshot, and hit her in the head. When she reached back to find what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She passed out from fright at first, then attempted to hold her brains in.

Boston Globe, April 13, 1990
Is there justice in this world? Well, in Jacksonville, Fla., an Internal Revenue Service car parked outside the federal courthouse was "booted" for unpaid parking tickets, forcing tax collectors to fork over $122.50 to set it free.
The IRS had to pay $95 for five tickets, a $25 removal fee plus $2.50 for processing to get the boot taken off, said Gertrude Bradley, clerical supervisor for the city parking division.
With the tax-filing deadline closing in, courthouse employees were chuckling about the IRS' misfortune. But the agency was not amused.
- We're not pleased with it - said spokesman Holger Euringer.
Yeah, we're all really upset.
The German controllers at Frankfurt Airport were a short-tempered lot. They not only expected you to know your parking location but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (PanAm 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground and a British Airways 747 (radio call Speedbird 206) after landing.
- Speedbird 206: Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active.
- Ground: Good Morning, taxi to your gate.
The British Airways 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.
- Ground: Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?
- Speedbird 206: Stand by, ground, I'm looking up the gate location now.
- Ground (impatiently): Speedbird 206, have you never flown to Frankfurt before?
- Speedbird 206 (coolly): Yes, in 1944. But I didn't stop.
