Giggle Lane

On the Lighter Side

A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store.
The parrot said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly."
The lady was furious! She stormed past the store to her work.
On the way home she saw the same parrot and it said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly."
She was enraged now.
The next day the same parrot again said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly."
The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and said that she would sue the store and get rid of the bird.
The store manager apologized profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn't say it again.
When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, "Hey lady."
She paused and said, "Yes?" The bird said, "You know."

During the summer when the power mower was broken and wouldn't run, I kept hinting to my husband that he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the message never sunk in.
Finally I thought of a clever way to make the point.
When my husband arrived home that day, he found me seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.
He watched silently for a while, then went into the house.
He was gone only a few moments and when he came out again he handed me a toothbrush.
"When you finish cutting the grass," he said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalks."

A wealthy easterner who had grown up in the country before going east to make his fortune, decided to return to for a deer hunt. So he called an old family friend to see if he would act as a guide. The man replied, "Sorry, I don't guide hunters any more. I only take out fishing parties." "Why's that?" asked the wealthy easterner. "Getting a little too old for the trails?" "Nope," replied the guide, "I've never had a fisherman mistake me for a fish."

A young farmer couple got married, and they just couldn't seem to get enough lovin'. Just before leaving the house for the fields at dawn, they made love, and when the husband returned home at evening they had another go, both before and after supper, and then again a few more times during the night.

The problems only happened during the day. The fields were far away from the house and the young man lost half an hour each time traveling home and back again at noon. Finally he decided to consult a friend, the town's doctor, about what to do.

"Easiest thing in the world, Homer" said the doctor. "You take your rifle out with you every day don't you? Well, when you feel like you're in the mood for some lovin', just fire a shot into the air as a signal to your wife, for her to come out to you. That way you won't lose any workin' time." Homer tried his friend's solution and it seemed to work pretty well for a while.

One day though, the doctor stopped by the house to pay a visit and he noticed Homer sitting alone inside looking very somber. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Didn't my idea work? And where's your wife?"

"Oh, it worked" says Homer. "Whenever I got in the mood I fired off a shot like you said, and Becky'd come runnin'. Then we'd find a secluded place and make love. Then Becky'd go back home."

"So what's the problem?"

"Well, I think I overdid it, Doc. I ain't seen hide nor hair of Becky since hunting season got started..."

A lawyer's last thoughts,,,,,,,,

A lawyer was on his deathbed in his bedroom, and he called to his wife.
She rushed in and said, 'What is it, honey?'
He told her to run and get the bible as soon as possible.
Being a religious woman, she thought this was a good idea.
She ran and got it, prepared to read him his favorite verse or something of the sort.

'I'm looking for loopholes!' he shouted.
