Birthday Party JOW #1076

Spring is the season for birthdays in our family.  I recently went to a couple of birthday parties.  The first was a third birthday party for my granddaughter.  There were lots of kids running around, balloons, good food, pleasant conversation with family & friends and of course, cake.  The second was a 101st birthday for my mother-in law.  There were lots of kids running around, balloons, good food, pleasant conversation with family & friends and of course, cake.  Both were wonderful. Birthday parties are a celebration to mark the passage of time.  For kids this is wonderful; for adults, not so much. 

With that in mind, here are some birthday-related jokes.  Remember, birthdays are healthy - studies consistently show that people who have more birthdays live longer.

Greeting Cards: When you care enough to send the very best but not enough to actually write something.

A true friend is one who remembers your birthday and not your age.

Ladies, there’s a man who remembers your birthday, knows what you enjoy, and understands your friends and family.  His name is Mark Zuckerberg.

When I was ten my Mom told me to take my brother to a movie so she could set up for his surprise birthday party. That's when I realized that he was her favorite twin.

 

Birthday riddles.

Now to segue to a new topic: Getting the right birthday present.

 

I keep telling my wife I want a Segway for my birthday. But every time I bring it up, she changes the topic.

 

A logician asked his wife what she wanted for her birthday.  She said "Nothing would make me happier than a pair of diamond earrings."

So he got her nothing.

It was my wife's birthday the other day I took her to an orchard and we stood looking at the fruit for 20 minutes. Apparently it wasn't the Apple watch she wanted.

>>>> 

A man gave his wife a coffin for her 80th birthday. When she turned 81, she asked him why he didn't you get her a birthday present this year.

"You haven’t used the one I gave you last year."

<<<<< 

Man to wife, “Blow out your candles and make a wish”.

The wife does but a look of disappointment crosses her face.

“What’s the matter,” he asks. “My wish didn’t work.” she replies.

“How do you know already?” he enquired.

“You’re still here.”

A husband reels off a list of presents he suggests buying his wife for her birthday. She rejects them all. “Well you tell me what you want then.”

“I want a divorce.” she replies.

“I wasn’t planning on spending that much.”

A man gave his young daughter a watch for her birthday. She thought it was so cool and when she showed it to the next door neighbor.

"That's a pretty watch you've got there!” He complemented her.  “Does it tell you the time?"

She laughed and said, "No, this is an old-fashioned watch! You have to look at it!"

^^^^^

After much dithering a woman summons the courage to ring her friend and sing Happy Birthday to her over the phone only to find she had a wrong number. “Why didn’t you stop me when you realized it was a wrong number,” she asks the lady on the other end of the phone.

“You need all the practice you can get!”

Middle age: that awkward period when Father Time catches up with Mother Nature.


Here is a bit I found about getting older.

As a single, never-married woman in my 40s, I have been questioned endlessly about my status by friends, relatives and co-workers. Over the years I've noticed a subtle change in the nature of their inquiries. In my teens, friends would ask, "Who are you going out with this weekend?" In my 20s, relatives would say, "Who are you dating?" In my 30s, co-workers might inquire, "So, are you dating anyone?" Now people ask, "Where did you get that adorable purse?"

WebMD is updating its server because of a virus. Well, they think it was a virus, but it could also be malaria, kidney failure, a heart murmur, gallstones, or possibly...

And finally, an Easter joke

A rabbit goes to the dentist, and the dentist says, ‘I need to pull a tooth, but I’ll give you Novocain.’

The rabbit answered, ‘Uh-uh! Not me, Doc. I’m an ether bunny.’”
