Don't let me be misunderstood JOW #831



Here are a few jokes based on simple misunderstandings, followed by the usual grab bag of humor that randomly comes to me.

From Dick
The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.
Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Phil, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."
You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Phil must have experienced.
"Phil was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Phil's scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."
Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Phil.
"Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Phil is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time his scrotum should recover completely."
All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
 A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Phil."
The entire congregation held its breath. "I just want to tell my wife the word is sternum."

A woman is pulled over for a traffic citation.  The officer looks at her license and says, “Ma’am, your license says you should be wearing glasses.”
“I have contacts, sir,” she replies.
“I don’t care who you know, you’re getting a ticket!”

A husband came up behind his wife in the kitchen while she was washing dishes.
“Would you like to go out, girl?” he said.
Not even turning around the wife replied, “Oh, I’d love to.  We haven’t been out in so long.”
They had a wonderful evening that night.  It wasn’t until the next day that the husband finally confessed that his question had been directed to the family dog who was laying on the kitchen floor.

How often have you heard the phrase ‘he died doing what he loved?  Like that’s the best time to die, when you’re doing something you love?
No, you want to die when you’re doing something you hate.  I mean, when it’s time for me to go let it be in the middle of an audit or something.

A high school student ran into his third grade teacher.  He doubted she would remember him.
“Hi, Mrs. Brunet.”
“Hi, Bobby,” she replied.
“So you remember me,” the boy said with a smile.
“Certainly.  You don’t always leave a good impression, but it is a lasting one.”

Clay was one of the world’s great hypochondriacs.  He cornered his doctor one day, “Doc, I have been meaning to tell you, remember those voices I was hearing in my head?  I haven’t heard them in a month.”
That is great news, Clay.  I am happy for you,” his doctor said cautiously.
“There is nothing wonderful about it,” said Clay miserably.  “Now my hearing is starting to go.”

Two rats were munching on garbage in an alley.  One says to the other, “Did you hear about that new restaurant Gallios?  It is so clean!  The kitchen and floors are spotless.  The whole place shines.”
“Please,” the other rat said making a face, “not while I am eating.”

And finally
The political campaigns are getting really nasty.  The Clinton camp was going to make a big deal about the fact that Donald Trump used to date women much younger than himself.  Then they realized the same could be said for Hillary…
