A couple have not been getting along for years, so the husband thinks:
- I'll buy my wife a cemetery plot for her birthday.
Well, you can imagine her disappointment.
The next year, her birthday rolls around again and this time he doesn't get her anything.
She says:
- Why didn't you get me a birthday present!?
He replies:
- You didn't use what I got you last year!
A vampire bat came flapping in from a night of foraging, covered in fresh blood. He parked himself on the cave's roof to get some sleep.
Soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told them to shut up and let him get some sleep, but they persisted until he finally gave in.
- OK, follow me.
He flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest of trees. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.
- Do you see that tree over there?
- YES, YES, YES!! - the bats all screamed in a frenzy.
- Well I didn't!
Once upon a time there were two men who had gone cliff climbing. Suddenly, one man lost his footing and went tumbling down to the bottom. The other man frantically screamed, "Roger!", and was relieved to hear a faint reply.
- Okay Rodge - shouted Barry.
- I'm gonna throw a rope down to you, so wrap it 'round one of your legs and..
but before he could finish, he heard Roger call:
- But both my legs are broke.
Barry suggested his arms, to which the reply was:
- They're broken too!
So finally, Roger held on with his mouth. Barry struggled to pull up the rope, and when he was nearly there, Barry said:
- You right there mate?
to which Rodger replied:
- YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS........
Everybody on earth dies and goes to heaven.
God comes and says:
- I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men that dominated their women on earth and the other line for the men that were dominated by their women. Also, I want all the women to go with St. Peter.
With that said and done, the next time God looked, the women are gone and there are two lines. The line of the men that were dominated by their women was 100 miles long, and in the line of men that dominated their women, there was only one man.
God got mad and said:
- You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all whipped by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons that stood up and made me proud. Learn from him! Tell them my son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?
And the man replied:
- I don't know, my wife told me to stand here.

A few years ago, we invited some friends over for a Christmas party. Many of my colleagues were there, and many of them are German. Helmut, Franz, and Rudolf were there.
I was talking to Rudolf about his belief in the superiority of the communist party. I grew tired of the discussion so I motioned towards the window and commented on the weather:
- I believe it's snowing.
- No, it looks too wet to be snow - he said.
The argument went back and forth for a few minutes: rain, snow, rain, snow...
Then my wife came over and settled the argument for us. She said:

Clarification Of Corporate Lingo
A man was on his first business trip to Japan, and he decided to check out the local Whore House. He walked in and was assigned a young girl with a body that got him "up" immediately. As soon as they reached the room, he started ripping her clothes off and going to town.
Moaning and grunting, the girl was screaming in Japanese:
- Wasukima! Wasukima!
He was sure that she was praising him for his good job, so he kept going harder than ever.
Later, he went golfing with his boss and a few clients.
As the clients were Japanese, he decided to impress them with his new knowledge of their language. When one of them got a hole in one, he raised his arms and shouted:
- Wasukima!
All of the men looked at him quizzically, and one of them asked:
- Why are you shouting 'wrong hole'?
