What Mrs. Dumpty gave Humpty?
- Ever since we got married, my wife has tried to change me. She got me to stop drinking, smoking and running around until all hours of the night. She taught me how to dress well, enjoy the fine arts, gourmet cooking, classical music, even how to invest in the stock market, - said the man.
- Sounds like you may be bitter because she changed you so drastically, - remarked his friend.
- I'm not bitter. Now that I'm so improved, she just isn't good enough for me.

I was enjoying the second week of a two-week vacation the same way I had enjoyed the first week: by doing as little as possible. I ignored my wife's not-so-subtle hints about completing certain jobs around the house, but I didn't realize how much this bothered her until the clothes dryer refused to work, the iron shorted and the sewing machine motor burned out in the middle of a seam. The final straw came when she plugged in the vacuum cleaner and nothing happened.
She looked so stricken that I had to offer some consolation.
- That's okay, honey - I said.
- You still have me.
She looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
- Yes - she wailed.
- but you don't work either!

Remember when your father found us in the barn and told me to either marry you or spend the next 50 years in jail?

An efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution.
- You need to be careful about trying these techniques at home.
- Why? - asked somebody from the audience.

- She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time.
- One day I told her, 'Honey, why don't you try carrying several things at once?'
- Did it save time? - the guy in the audience asked.
- Actually, yes - replied the expert.
- It used to take her 30 minutes to make dinner.
- Now I do it in ten...
Three men died in a car accident and met Jesus himself at the Pearly Gates. The Lord spoke unto them saying:
- I will ask you each a simple question. If you tell the truth I will allow you into heaven, but if you lie.... Hell is waiting for you.
To the first man the Lord asked:
- How many times did you cheat on your wife?
The first man replied:
- Lord, I was a good husband. I never cheated on my wife.
The Lord replied:
- Very good! Not only will I allow you in, but for being faithful to your wife I will give you a huge mansion and a limo for your transportation.
To the second man the Lord asked:
- How many times did you cheat on your wife?
The second man replied:
- Lord, I cheated on my wife twice.
The Lord replied:
- I will allow you to come in, but for your unfaithfulness, you will get a four-bedroom house and a BMW.
To the third man the Lord asked:
- So, how many times did you cheat on your wife?
The third man replied:
- Lord, I cheated on my wife about 8 times.
The Lord replied:
- I will allow you to come in, but for your unfaithfulness, you will get a one-room apartment, and a Yugo for your transportation.
A couple hours later the second and third men saw the first man crying his eyes out.
- Why are you crying? - the two men asked.
- You got the mansion and limo!
The first man replied:
- I'm crying because I saw my wife a little while ago, and she was riding a skateboard!
An Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail.
Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly woman whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.
At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
DEAREST WIFE:
JUST GOT CHECKED IN.
EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW.
YOUR LOVING HUSBAND
P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE
