Grand Old JOW #1244

 I enjoy my role as a Grandad.  The only issue has been keeping up with the little rascals as they get bigger and faster, and I get bigger and slower.  I have a bunch of Grandparents jokes this week, some from my memories of my own grandparents and some from my current experience.  I hope you enjoy them.

 

 

What does grandpa do when you tell him to change his hearing aid?
He doesn't listen.

 

Shoutout to my grandparents

Because that's the only way they can hear me

 

Why do grandparents smile all the time?
Because they can't hear a word you're saying.

 

My grandma got a new hearing aid.
“It was $500,” she said.
“What kind is it?” I asked.
“Ten-o-clock.”

 

"I’ll never forget my granddad’s last words to me just before he died. “Are you still holding the ladder?”

 

"I remember the last words my other grandpa said before he kicked the bucket. "Hey, how far do you reckon I could kick this bucket?"

 

I asked my grandmother how she’s enjoying her new stairlift. She said, “It’s driving me up the wall.”

 

This morning, my grandpa walked into my room with a young guy with a goatee, eating avocado toast and wearing skinny jeans.

I said, “Who is this guy?”

My grandpa said, “My hip replacement.”

 

"My grandpa is 95 years old, and he doesn't even use glasses. He drinks straight from the bottle."

 

Grandma yells across the room: "Billy, what's the name of that German guy who drives me crazy?"
"It's Alzheimer, grandma".

 

My grandpa's last wish was that when he died, we convert his ashes into a diamond. That's a lot of pressure.

 

My grandpa would always say, “When one door closes, another opens.” He was a good man, but a lousy cabinet maker.

 

"My grandpa always used to say to me, “Fight fire with fire.” It’s no wonder he got lost his job as a fire fighter.

 

My dear old grandmother always used to say that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. That's why she lost her job as a cardiac surgeon.

 

My late grandpa used to hate looking in the mirror. Humble man; terrible driver.

 

Today I went to visit my dead grandparents, but I accidentally visited the wrong tomb

It was a grave mistake

 

Why was grandma so fascinated by a reversible sweater she was knitting?

She said, "I want to see how it turns out."

 

The rest of my family did not support the woman’s decision to have a baby, but her grandparents supported her decision.

They are great grandparents.

 

My grandfather was a baker in the Navy. He went in all buns glazing.

 

On her death bed, the last words that my grandma told my grandpa was, “Honey, I’ll see you in heaven!” Since then, he hasn’t been to church once.

 

What do you call a walking stick that makes grandma walk faster?
A hurricane.

 

What do you call having your grandma on speed dial?
Instagram.

What kind of birthday cake does Grandpa like best? An old-fashioned one.

 

What happened when grandma accidentally dropped the basket of ironed laundry? We watched it all unfold.

 

My Grandparents were Trekkies, and named my father after their favorite Captain when I was young, I was frequently hoisted by my own Picard.

 

Mitzi came back from a weekend at her grandparents' house and told her mom she's never staying there again. "They just sat around the whole weekend and had nothing on!"

"Nothing on!," her mother cried out in horror.
"Yes," said Mitzi, "no TV, no computer, no Xbox..."

 

What is worse than a Dad Joke?  A granddad joke:

One Sunday, little Johnny's grandpa asks him a question, "Do you know what one eye said to the other eye?"
"No, grandpa."
"It said, between you and me, something smells."

 

“Back in the day,” a grandfather started to say, “You could walk into a grocery store with $2 in your pocket, and walk out with a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a bit of butter as well.”
“But nowadays,” he continued, “Wherever you go, there are cameras.”

 

Why do I spend only one hour with the grandchildren?
Because one hour with them and I feel like a kid again, more than that and I start feeling drastically old.

 

A five-year-old wanted to know who is heart and why did they attack her grandparents?

 

My grandmother was a very tough woman. She buried three husbands, and two of them were just napping.

 

"My grandmother ate spaghetti everyday… Until she pasta-way."

 

A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived.
“Oh,” he said, “she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we’re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.”

 

What does a grandmother and a website have in common?
You can't deny the cookies.

 

How do kids tell you their grandparents called?  Depends on the generation.

Millennials: Gramps called.
Gen X: Granny called.
Gen Z: Grandmother called.
Kids now: Boomerang.

 

A man walked into his grandparent’s house and caught his grandad kissing a beautiful blonde woman on the sofa.

"Grandad," I said, "You promised me that you'd spend your retirement money on the surgery that you said desperately needed."

"I did," he replied, "Doesn't your nan look great!?"

 

And finally….

A child is visiting his grandparents.

While there, he says to Grandpa:
“Grandpa, tell me a story about Vietnam again.”
The old man says:
“It was May 1969, near Khe Sanh. I was in a chopper with four other Marines. 

Some gook shot the pilot, and the helo crashed. We survived, but Charlie was waiting. And there we were, five guys facing some fifty Vietcong...”
The child interrupts:
“But the last time you told me that story, there were only 20 Vietcong!”
Grandpa says: “You were too young then to know the horrid truth!”

 

 

Dog Daze JOW #1243

The hottest days of the year are known as the ‘Dog Days of Summer.’  I have made no secret of how much I hate the cloying humid heat of East Texas, and August is the worst of it.  However, since they are called ‘dog days’ every year I use the time to have a dog-themed set of jokes.  Here are mine for this year.

 

Me: What dog did you get?

Friend: Husky

Me: (In a low voice) what dog did you get?

 

Greyhound dogs never end up catching the rabbit. Every dog has a bad hare day.

 

What did the dog say to the tree? “Bark!”

 

It was raining cats and dogs last night, I nearly stepped in a poodle on my way out.

 

Then there was a mythical kingdom with a dog for a king and a cat for a queen.  It was reigning cats and dogs.

 

What happens when you buy a dog from a blacksmith?  As soon as he gets to the home, he’ll make a bolt for the door

 

 Why did the snowman name his dog “Frost?”

Because “Frost” bites

 

What do you do when your dog chews up your dictionary?

You take the words right out of its mouth

 

What do you call a sleeping Rottweiler?
Whatever you want but do it quietly.

 

What would you call a dog named Minton who ate a shuttlecock?
Bad Minton.

 

What do you get when you cross a race dog with a bumble bee?

What kind of dog never throws anything away?

“We’re eating dinner soon. Don’t fill up on homework.” — Dog mom

 

I tried to trick my dog into eating a healthy snack, but he didn’t bite.

 

My friend says her dog will retrieve a ball over a mile away, but that sounds far-fetched to me.

 

I can't take my dog down to the local pond anymore, because the ducks keep attacking him. It's my fault for choosing a pure bread dog.

 

Before a dog trainer met with a new client, she had her fill out a questionnaire. One question asked, “Why did you choose this breed?”

The client responded, “I often ask myself this very same question.”

 

Dog jokes are cheesy, so let’s do some cheesy Knock Knock jokes.

Knock, Knock

Who’s there?
Ooze.
Ooze who?
Ooze a good boy? You are!

 

Knock, Knock

Who’s there?
Woof.
Woof who?

A dog owner’s version of Dr. Seuss’ “Oh the Places you’ll go”

“You’ll go on the sidewalk; you’ll go on the lawn.”

“You’ll go when its dusk, you'll go when it’s dawn.”

“You’ll do your business on dirt, grass, and sand.”

“And they’ll pick it up with that bag in their hand.”

  

A dog walks into a bar and hops up on a stool. He looks the bartender straight in the eye and says, “Hey, guess what? I can talk. Have you ever seen a talking dog before? Amazing, right? How about a drink?”

The bartender thinks for a moment and says, “Sure, the toilet’s right around the corner.”

 

Three boys see a fire engine with a dog go by and discuss what his job is.

‘Crowd control?’ says one boy.

‘He’s the mascot.’ says the second boy.

The third boy nods sagely: ‘He finds fire hydrants.’

 

A man walks into an animal hospital with his bulldog and says, “My dog is cross-eyed, can you fix it?”

The vet replies, “Let’s have a look at what’s wrong.” The vet picks the dog up while examining his eyes. After thoroughly inspecting the dog for a few minutes, he says, “I’m going to have to put him down.”

“What?! You’re going to put him down because he’s cross-eyed?”

“No, because he is really, really heavy.”

 

Difference Between a Cat and Dog

A woman lives with both a cat and dog. Everyday she’ll feed them, clean up after them and provide plenty of love and attention.

The dog is very grateful. As the owner approaches the dog and fills his bowl with kibbles, the dog thinks” Wow, you do all this for me, every day.  They must be gods.”

The owner then walks over to the cat and gives her daily food.

The cat thinks to herself,” Wow, you do all this for me, every day. I must be a god.”

And finally

Two dog owners are arguing about whose dog is smarter. “My dog is so smart,” says the first owner, “that every morning he goes to the store and buys me a sesame seed bagel with chive cream cheese, stops off at Starbucks and picks me up a mocha latte, and then comes home and turns on ESPN, all before I get out of bed.”

“I know,” says the second owner.

“How do you know?” the first demands.

“My dog told me.”

 

 

Olympic JOW #1242

 

As you know I tend to have themes for my weekly jokes.  I was planning on doing my annual Dog Days JOW about how miserably hot and humid it is, but the Olympics just wrapped up, so I decided to go with that as a theme.  Besides, it will be plenty of time to make jokes about the hot weather.  It will be just this miserably hot for the rest of the month.   And the month after that.  And the month after that.  Sigh

Here are the Olympic jokes:

 

Karl Marx had a sister named Onya that was an Olympic athlete. She is still honored today; her name is invoked at the start of every foot race.

 

Why do the Olympics swimming have lifeguards?

In case one of the swimmers has a stroke.

 

Then there was an unfortunate Olympics story:

A gymnast walked into a bar.

 

Another gymnast explained why he did so poorly in the Paris Olympics.

He said, “Eiffel over too many times.”

 

If laziness was an Olympic sport, I’d come in fourth so I wouldn’t have to walk up to the podium.

 

Which Olympic sport generates the most conversation?
Discus.

 

Did you hear about the blonde that won the gold medal in the Paris Olympics?
She was so proud she had it bronzed.

 

At the Olympic Village, a spectator saw an athletic guy carrying a long stick and asked him, “Are you a pole vaulter?”
He looked surprised and said, “No, I am a German. But how did you know my name is Walter?”

 

What do athletes do with a camera?
Take Olympics.

 

The old actor George Hamilton once entered the suntanning Olympics, but he only got bronze.

 

What’s the best Olympic sport?
Diving, hands down

 

There was a school that taught people to swim the backstroke.
Unfortunately, it couldn’t stay afloat, and the school went belly up.

 

After Nigeria was unable to win any gold medals in the Paris Olympics, the Nigerian Sports Minister personally offered to refund all the expenses of fans who traveled to France.
He said he just needed their bank details and PINs to complete the transaction.

 

Did you see that gymnast from North Korea in the Olympics?
She didn’t win any medals, but her execution was flawless.

An old one:

China won bronze in gymnastics at the Sydney 2000 Olympics but was stripped of the medal after it was revealed that Dong Fangxiao was under the minimum age of 16
And they would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those medalling kids.

 

An Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman trying to get into the Olympics with no tickets.
The Englishman found a large wooden pole lying on the ground near him. He picked it up, put it under his arm, walked in the gate, and said, “Bentley, England, pole vaulting,” and they let him in.
The Scotsman picked up a manhole cover, put it under his arm, walked in the gate, and said “McGregor, Scotland, discus,” and they let him in.
The Irish man picked up a roll of chicken wire, put it under his arm, walked in the gate, and said, “Murphy, Ireland, fencing.”

 

Three Olympic athletes are at an elite training camp

The instructor was a tough, but attractive woman

'What's your event?' she asked the first athlete
'Pole vault' he says
'You will spend the next hour pole vaulting!' barks the instructor 'And then I'll be convinced that you're a decent pole vaulter'
'What's your event?' she asked the second athlete
'Hurdling' he says
'You will spend the next hour hurdling!' barks the instructor 'And then I'll be convinced that you're a decent hurdler'
Before the instructor could ask the third athlete, she noticed he was suppressing laughter.
'What are you laughing at?' she barked
'Nothing' he giggled
'Well, what's your event?'
'Breaststroke'

 

And finally. 

A man met a beautiful girl and he decided he wanted to marry her right away. She protested, “But we don’t know anything about each other.” He replied, “That’s all right; we’ll learn about each other as we go along.”
So she consented and they were married, and they went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort.
One morning, they were lying by the pool when he got up off his towel, climbed up to the 30-foot high board, and did a two-and-a-half-tuck gainer, entering the water perfectly, almost without a ripple. This was followed by three rotations in the jack-knife position before he again straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on his towel.
She said, “That was incredible.”
He said, “I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we’d learn more about ourselves as we went along.”
So she got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing laps. She was moving so fast that the ripples from her pushing off at one end of the pool would hardly be gone before she was already touching the other end of the pool. After about thirty laps, completed in mere minutes, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel, barely breathing hard.
He said, “That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?”
“No,” she said, “I was a prostitute in Venice, and I worked both sides of the canal.”

It's a warm summer evening and a hot-blooded couple had a heated argument; the woman accused her man of adultery. Back and forth they shouted, getting louder and angrier and more upset with each exchange. Eventually the woman’s anger boils over and in a fit of rage she reaches over, pulls his penis out, slices it off and hurled it out the window of their speeding car.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man is driving down the same highway with his six-year-old daughter. Suddenly, a bloody severed penis flies out of nowhere and **SMACKS** against the windshield, where it flops around for a few seconds before sliding off to the side.
The young girl jumps forward in her seat, startled, and exclaims "Oh, my GOSH!!! Daddy, what was that?"
The father panics: his daughter is still too young and innocent to learn about such things as penises. He thinks quickly and tells her "Don't worry, sweetie. It was just a bug."
"Oh, okay Daddy" she responds, and they continue on their way. After a few minutes of silence, the little girl looks up at her father and said "Sure had a big dick, didn't it?"

 

 

 

 

 

Hot Cooking JOW #1240

 I consider myself a good cook…. for children.  My best culinary creations come from a can.  Yes, my cooking is incredible. It’s just that the ‘cr’ is silent.  My cooking provides my family a chance to strengthen their immune system.  And it also had the side effect of stopping the dog from begging at the table. 

My jokes this week feature cooking and food.  I hope you find them digestible.

 

I didn’t feel like cooking last night, so I made a sandwich for dinner

It wasn’t so much as a sandwich as much as it was just bread.
I guess it wasn’t bread so much as just grain.
Fermented grain.
Distilled, fermented grain.

With some bitters and some simple syrup

And some fruit: a cherry and orange garnish

It was an Old-Fashioned dinner

 

I love cooking with wine.

Sometimes I even put it in the food I'm preparing.

After my first attempt to make a cake, the fireman told me that when it says to grease the bottom of the pan, they meant to say the inside of the pan . . .

Some jerk calling himself a "food critic" said my cooking was crap so I kicked him in the mouth

He didn't enjoy the taste of defeat

 

Green beans are the most Zen of all the vegetables because they’ve found their inner peas.

 

I just learned that the average adult has nine drinks per week.  So, I am above average in something!

 

Alcohol allows you to run from your problems without the need for sweaty actual movement

 

A man yelled at his girlfriend, "If you continue stealing my cooking utensils, I'll move out!" She just laughed and said...

"That's a whisk I'm willing to take!"

 

A golfer asked the little lady working the beverage cart at the local golf course if she could go back to the previous green to see if he had left his sandwich there. She spent some time looking for a sandwich on the grass, before a golfer coming up asked her if someone had lost a sand wedge. 

 

Waffles are just considerate pancakes.  ‘Let me hold that syrup for you in these nice little squares.’

 

Who won the Asian cooking contest?

It was a Thai.

 

My ex's cooking was cold and bland.

Clearly, she put her heart and soul into it.

 

Don't leave alphabet soup cooking on the stove unattended.

It could spell disaster.

 

I went to school with a girl called Non-Stick Cooking Spray

We tried calling her Pam. But it didn't stick.

 

A watched pot never boils; an unwatched pot boils over and catches fire in 3 seconds.

 

I was watching a cooking show.

The host said you can use leftover beer to make battered chicken wings...
What is leftover beer?

 

A man was going through bit of a rough patch in his marriage so after work, he decided to ask his friend for help.
He said "I have been going through some problems with my wife, she seems like she is always angry at me, what do I do?"
His friend replied "You should spend more time with your wife, appreciate her role in your life, maybe praise her cooking once in a while."
Satisfied with the advice, the man went back home to dinner. As he's having dinner he says "Darling, the food is very good today."
To his surprise, his wife became upset. “We’ve been married to each other ten years and you've never appreciated my cooking, but the one day I get take-out food you like it."

 

A set of newlyweds were getting to know one another.  The wife was a great cook, but her husband noticed she did something strange when preparing sausages. Just before she put them in the skillet, she cut off about an inch on both sides of the sausages.
After having witnessed this a couple of times, he asked her why she did this.
"Oh, that's the way my mom taught me how to prepare sausages, she always made them like this for my father and myself"
Shortly after this they went over to her parents for a visit, and she brought up the question. " Mom, why do you cut off an inch on both sides of the sausages before baking them"
"That's the way my mother, your grandmother, taught me how to prepare them, I've never asked why."
As end of the year approached, they had a big family gathering and the wife's grandmother attended, and towards the end of the evening the couple sat down next to her. 

 "Granny, we were wondering, I've been cutting of an inch of both end of sausages, because that's how mom taught me, and she said she learned it from you, why is that?"
The old woman stared to the ceiling for a bit and then said agitated "Don't tell me you're still using that undersized skillet??"

 

And finally something different

 

One night, a husband murmured in his sleep, "Oh, Emily, you're the one that got away."

The wife, wide awake beside him, bolted up and exclaimed, "Emily? Who is Emily?"
The husband, still in the depths of slumber, muttered, "Emily, your laughter is the melody of my heart."
The wife, now fully awake and boiling with anger, shook him vigorously and demanded, "I demand to know who this Emily is!"
The husband, startled awake, looked at his wife with a mix of confusion and panic and then said, "Honey, it was just a dream. You know I can't even remember where I put my own socks, let alone some Emily Bristlewright from Cattle Street in Manchester, who works as a part-time hygenist!"

 

 

 

 

 

Sibling JOW #1239

My JOWs are considered to be family friendly.  Of course, when you consider how some brothers and sisters scrap I am not sure how friendly is always is.  I was fortunate to grow up in a family where we got along pretty well, especially since mom and dad clearly loved me more than my sisters.  So here are some jokes about siblings.  Enjoy.

My brother couldn’t pay his water bill.

So I sent him a “Get well soon” card.

 

The difference between a sibling and a half-sibling is…. apparent

 

His parents told little Johnnie they wanted another child

I’d love a sibling,” he replied.

“That’s not what we meant.”

My sister once told me that “Even if you were an only child, you still wouldn’t be Mom and Dad’s favorite.” 

 

My twin brother likes to take the stairs, but I always prefer the elevator.

We are raised differently

 

A Cajun asked her brother how come he only uses his superpowers on her daughters.

He told her it’s because he only has telekinesis not telekinephews.

 

What does a transgender person call their straight sibling?

Little cis

 

My sisters and I laugh at how competitive we were as kids.

But I laugh more.

 

“The easiest time to add insult to injury is when you’re signing your brother’s cast.” 

 

My mother asked me to hand out invitations to my brother’s surprise party. That’s when I realized he was her favorite twin. 

 

Home schooling can be competitive.  Two sisters had a spelling bee.

“Spell ‘elephant,'” the older one challenged her younger sis

“Let her spell small animals, not big ones,” said her mom.

The older sister paused, then said, “Spell ‘mosquito.'”

 

Few people know that Albert Einstein had a brother that was an evil scientist who created a monster from body parts.

His name was Frank.

 

My grandfather, my mom, and all my siblings all have chronic diarrhea. Runs in the family.

 

Have you heard of the blind cyclops brothers?

Neither have eye.

 

A century ago, two brothers insisted that it was possible to fly.

And as you can see, they were Wright.

Two other brothers tried, failed, and departed.  The Left Brothers.

Two Asian brothers tried to build an airplane, but their design had flaws.  They were Wong.

 

A customer was chatting with the young woman at the checkout counter.
“You’ve been here a while, haven’t you?” I asked.
“No,” she said. “That’s my twin sister. She’s been here six months. I started a couple of weeks ago.”
“Really?” The customer said. “Well, if they liked having one of you, they must be even happier now.”
“Actually,” she replied, “the manager was telling my sister that she was such a good worker that he wished he could clone her. So, she brought me in the next day, took me to the manager and said, ‘Okay, here you go!’” 

 

Female airline pilots are still relatively rare. As a result, while in uniform, they are often mistaken for a flight attendant, a ticket agent, or even a snack bar employee. One day, a pilot was brushing her teeth in the restroom before a flight when a woman walked in.

“My sister would be so proud of you!” she declared.

The pilot smiled and asked why.

The woman responded, “She’s a dentist.”

 

Enough of the jokes about relatives.  Here are a few humorous tidbits.  The last is pretty edgy for me.

 

Who would have thought conservatives would be so enthusiastic about nominations someone  for president who has a pierced ear.

 

I hear the US Secret Service is looking for people with roofing experience.

 

The recent passing of fitness guru Richard Simmons while Keith Richardson continues to thrive has be questioning my choice to exercise so much.

 

An underage weasel walks into a bar.

The bartender says, "I'm sorry. I can't serve underage weasels."
The weasel says, "That's fine. I don't need something alcoholic. What else do you have?"
The bartender says "Oh, we have lots! We have water, pop, tea, coffee, smoothies. What would you like?"
"Pop," goes the weasel.

 

A Hollywood producer calls his friend, another Hollywood producer, on the phone.

“Hey, how are you doing?” he asks.

“Well!” responds the friend. “I just sold a screenplay for $200,000. I also wrote a novel and got a $50,000 advance from the publisher. I have a new TV series airing next week, and everyone says it’s going to be a hit. I’m doing great! How are you?”

“OK,” says the first producer. “I’ll call you back when you’re alone.”

 

A farmer sees a chicken strutting across a rural highway. He shouts to her, “Hey, why are you crossing the road?”
The chicken replies, “To change the light bulb in the henhouse.”
“Can you change it by yourself, or will you need help? In other words, how many chickens does it take to change a light bulb?”
Says the chicken, “Sorry, but that’s the subject of another joke.”

 

Just a reminder to be careful when telling jokes that may be offensive:

A few days ago, I was talking to some friends, and friends of those friends, at a bar.

I decided to break the ice with the new friends with a few jokes, most of which went down very well until I decided to tell a few more offensive ones… and picked the worst possible one to start with.

Here’s the joke I told:

“What do you do if you see an epileptic having a fit in the bath?  Throw your laundry in.”

One of the new friends instantly became enraged at me. When I asked him what the hell his problem was, he replied that his younger brother was epileptic and died in the bath many years ago.

Obviously, I felt mortified as I didn’t know about it, and said, “I’m so sorry to hear that. Did he drown?”

“No,” replied the guy. “He choked on a sock.”
