Some people are so ungrateful. 
 
If I’ve made you breakfast in bed all I need is a simple “thank you.” 
 
None of this “how did you get in my house?” nonsense.

I was walking around downtown when I saw this featureless white building. 
 
Curious, I found a door and went inside to see what was going on here. 
 
I was greeted by white robed acolytes who wordlessly directed me into the  
main chapel where a hundred or so other white robed acolytes were singing  
hymns of praise to the vacuum of space. 
 
Upon the front wall was a large, white number zero.  
 
And the white altar beneath it was covered with a white silk cloth, and was  
empty. 
 
Not wishing to disrupt their worship I stepped back into the nave and asked  
one of the silent acolytes there, "Is Nothing sacred?"

My teacher told me I’d never amount to much because I procrastinate so much.

A father is driving his son to his first day of school. 
 
The boy looks worried, so his dad asks him "What's wrong?" 
 
The kid asks his father nervously, "How long do I have to go to school for?" 
 
"Until you're 18." says the father. 
 
The boy nods quietly.  
 
When they get to the front of the school, he asks,  
"Daddy, can you please give my puppy a hug for me?" 
 
"You can hug him when you get home, son." says the father. 
 
"Well can you please give mommy a big hug for me--" 
 
"Son," the father says abruptly, "you can hug her when you get home." 
 
The boy's eyes get watery and he starts to sniff.  
 
So the father adds, "Don't worry so much, you'll be fine. Go on now." 
 
The boy nods and wipes his nose. "Daddy, can I ask one more question?" 
 
"Go on." says the dad. 
 
The boy, now very teary-eyed, says  
"Daddy, you'll remember to come get me when I'm 18, won't you?"

I told my son his shoes were on the wrong feet...

One rainy Sunday afternoon, a young couple were on their way to their church  
to get married. On the way there, their car lost control and slammed into a  
telephone pole - killing them both instantly. 
 
The couple soon found themselves standing in front of St. Peter at the Pearly  
Gates, welcoming them to Heaven. The young woman asks Peter if they could  
get married in Heaven, since their time on Earth was cut short.  
 
He replies that he'll get back with them on that request. 
 
A month later, St. Peter finds them and announces that they can, in fact,  
get married in Heaven.  
 
To his surprise, the woman asks "Just wondering, if things don't work out  
will we be able to get a divorce?" 
 
With a stern look in his eye, Peter blurts out  
"Look lady, it took me a month to find a preacher up here, you really think  
I'm gonna find a lawyer?" 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
The secretary of a high-priced lawyer announced to him the arrival of a new  
client - a gorgeous young woman.  
 
The woman sat down and said, "I want a divorce." 
 
"On what grounds," asked the lawyer. 
 
"Infidelity, I don't think my husband has been faithful to me." 
 
"What makes you think that." 
 
"Well, I don't think he's the father of my child."

After I got pulled over, I told the policeman,

An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the garden. 
 
She asked him, "Daddy, what is sex?”  
 
The father was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decides  
that if she is old enough to ask the question, then she is old enough to  
get a straight answer. 
 
He proceeded to tell her. When he finished explaining, the little girl was  
looking at him with her mouth hanging open.  
 
The father asked her, "Why did you ask this question?" 
 
The little girl replied, "Mom told me to tell you that dinner would be  
ready in just a couple of secs."

I'm a farmer and my wife announced that she was thinking of leaving me to  
run off with a tractor salesman. 
 
I expected to get a "Dear John" letter but instead, I got a "John Deere"  
letter.

"For twenty-four glorious years my wife and I were supremely happy," mused

I like to keep a ruler under my pillow. 
 
It tells me how long I've slept.
