Frogger JOW #799



I do appreciate all the help I can get. Debbie sent me her favorite frog job in response to one I included last week.  Ha!  I love frog jokes.  That made for an easy set of joke this week – and here they are.  Remember, I said easy, not necessarily good.

An engineer crosses a road when a frog calls out to him, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."
He bends over, picks up the frog and puts it in his pocket. The frog speaks up again and says, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one month."
The engineer takes the frog out of his pocket, smiles at it and returns it to the pocket.
The frog then cries out, "If you kiss me and turn me back, I'll do whatever you say!"
Again the engineer takes the frog out, smiles at it and puts it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asks, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, I'll stay with you for a month and do whatever you say. What more do you want?"
The engineer says, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and was told, "You are going to meet a beautiful young woman who will want to know everything about you."
  The frog said, "That's great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?"
  "No," said the psychic, "Next term-in her biology class."

Which reminds me of a quote from E.B. White
“Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog.  Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.”

A man in a movie theater notices what looks like a frog sitting next to him. "Are you a frog?" asked the man, surprised.
 "Yes."
“What are you doing at the movies?"
The frog replied, "Well, I liked the book."
………………………
The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range. Three weeks later, a frog walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes. He took the precious book out of the frog's mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!"
 "Not really," said the frog. "Your name is written inside the cover."

One day the Library was lonely with no one in it for the librarian to help. These two chickens came through the door screeching "bouk bouk." The librarian quickly got up and gave them each 5 books. The two chickens left satisfied. Just a few minutes later the same two chickens come through the door with no books screeching "bouk bouk." The librarian once again jumps up and gives each chicken 15 books this time. The chickens leave satisfied once again. Then again for the third time the chicken return screeching "bouk bouk" But this rime being suspicious the librarian gives each chicken only one book because they have still have not returned the other books. As the chickens leave the librarian slowly follows behind to see where all the books are going. The chickens come to a stop and start throwing the books into a pond where some frogs grab the books and throw them behind their back croaking "red-it red-it"

A guy walks into a bar with a frog on his head.
The bartender says, "What's that all about?"
The frog replies, "I dunno. Just last week is was just a wart on my ass."

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 
A rabbit is walking across a field when he suddenly bumps into a frog. The frog goes head over heels backwards though the grass.
  "I'm sorry," says the rabbit, "I didn't see you coming, because I have a problem - I've been blind since birth"
  The frog replies, "Don't worry about it; It wasn't entirely your fault because I didn't see you coming - I'm blind too".
  The frog then says - to the rabbit, "What are you?"
  The rabbit replies, "Being blind - since birth, I'm not really sure what I am - I've never seen anything to compare myself to."
  The rabbit says to the frog, "What are you?"
  The frog replies, "Likewise - I've not seen anything to compare myself to either."
  The frog then says, "I know - we'll feel each other and then we will be able to tell what we are - I'll go first."
  The frog runs his hands over the rabbit and says, "You've got a nice soft fur coat, long pointed ears, buck teeth & your breath smells of carrots - you must be a rabbit!"
  The rabbit runs his hands over the frog and says, "You're cold and slimy with a big mouth - you must be a politician!"

And finally, one of the staples of frog humor:
This frog walks into a bank to get a loan. He steps up to the counter and asks for an application from the clerk, Patty Wack.
"Hi, I'd like to fill out an application for a loan", said the frog.
Patty Wack replied, "Do you have any collateral for this loan; something to stand against your loan?"
The frog replied, "All I have is this statue of a unicorn."
"Well, I don't know," said Patty Wack, "I'll have to ask the manager about this."
Patty Wack goes to see the bank manager.  “What is this thing, sir?  Can we use is as collateral?”
The bank manager looks at the statue and replies: "It’s a Knick Knack, Patty Wack. Give the frog a loan."

On advice of attorneys JOW #798



First, some more shameless commerce.  I am having problems getting people to go on Amazon and post a review my last book, The Old King.  Here is a special offer.  For anyone who will undertake to write a review on Amazon of my book I will send a free electronic copy of The Old King.  Okay, I will send you the code and website where you can download it – but for free!  Just reply to me and I will send you your free copy of my latest exciting book.  If you want to check it out, go to Amazon and search for Thos. Pinney.

Tom and Pat have been helping me out with my jokes lately, so don’t blame me entirely for these. 

A man working with a table saw accidentally cut off all his fingers. 
In the emergency room the doctor told him. “Give me the fingers and I will try to reattach them.”
“But I don’t have the fingers here.”
“Why didn’t you bring them?”
“Doc, I couldn’t pick them up!”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A woman was preparing to celebrate her 81st birthday when she received a jury duty notice.  She called the clerk’s office to remind them that she was exempt because of her age.
“You need to come in and fill out the exemption forms,” the clerk told her.
“But I filled them out last year.”
“You have to fill them out every year.”
“Why?  Do you think I am getting younger?”

·         Writing of old people, I remembered the joke about the couple that waited until they were 100 to get divorced.  They wanted to wait until the kids had died.

·         And children, do not make fun of your parents for their lack of computer skills.  They taught you how to use a spoon.

·         A recent report by a health doctor claimed that every piece of bacon you eat takes nine minutes off your initial life span.  Since I am still around it is obvious that my initial life span must have been about 140 years or so.

·         Headline: Will glass coffins be a success? Remains to be seen.

And finaly a story passed on by a man who is or may have been a lawyer:

The old guy began to tell his story: “I was on the 5th hole and I had just hit a ball in the water, I was having a miserable round.  Then I see this funny looking frog.  I take the 8 iron out of my bag to hit my next shot and, I swear, the frog goes,
“Ribbit, 7 iron.” 
“Well, after I got over my shock I decided, what the heck, so I hit the 7 and the ball just cleared the water and rolled right up on the green.  The 8 would have been in the water again.  Well, I am no fool, so I pick up that frog and the frog goes,”
“Ribbit, lucky frog.”
“So I keep that frog and it keeps giving me good advice.  I shot my best round in years.  So I finished up and took that magic frog out and asked, what now frog?”
“Ribbit, Las Vegas.”
“So it is only a few hours from LA to Vegas and so I say, why not?”
“I get there and check into this nice place with the frog and then go down to the roulette table.  Understand I had to keep the frog covered up so no one would see me talking to the frog.   We get down there and the frog says,”
“Ribbit, all on 27.”
“So I am riding a streak with the lucky frog and so I put down a big bet on number 27.  Sure enough I was a winner!  I took my winnings and go back up to the room. ‘Frog, I says, I owe you big time.  What can I do for you?’  I’m thinking it will want room service to bring up flies or something.  Instead the frog says,”
“Ribbit, kiss me.”
“What could I do?  I owned that frog a lot.  So I bent over gave it a smack on the lips.  And *poof* that broke the enchantment.  Where there had once been a frog was a beautiful 16 year old girl, wearing exactly what the frog had been wearing – nothing.”
“And that, your honor, is how that girl wound up in my room.”
