@Patrick,

Just between you and me, you have passed the test! It's on a "need to know" basis and you've got it. Don't tell anyone else. OK!?

I always thought that an ass was another name for a donkey?

Asinus, a subgenus of Equus, that includes the donkey and multiple other asses:
Donkey or ass, Equus africanus asinus
Onager or Asiatic wild ass, Equus hemionus
Mongolian wild ass

Two Bob Monkhouse jokes. (For non-Brits, Bob Monkhouse was a household name in family comedy for over 50 years).

When I told people that I wanted to be a comedian, they all laughed. Well, they're not laughing now!

In much later life, he said this: I still get sex at 68. I live at number 70. It's a short walk.

Don't think either of these is offensive. Hope notO:)

Ian

Another of Bob’s jokes:

When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my father, not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Another one:
I went to my doctor and asked how long I have.
He said, “Ten”.
I said, “Ten what, years, months, weeks, … ?”
He said, “Nine”…

It's so nice and fortunate at times I guess to have a loving, caring wife... :Smirk:

Old man visiting his daughter sees a fly on the wall.
He asks his daughter to hand him a newspaper.
She says that these days we use an iPad instead of a newspaper.

Well, the tablet is now in a number of pieces but it did kill the fly.

Yesterday my wife purchased a new very trendy outfit and this morning she tried it on! She asked my opinion and I asked would she prefer the honest one or the one she wanted to hear. She said with lots of venom the honest one of course ----------I will contact you all again when I get out of Accident an Emergency, hopefully in about two weeks time!!!

Keith in Derby England.

A policeman phoned to say my wife was in Casualty.
I watched the programme all the way through but I didn’t see her.

I hope she gets home soon. I am so hungry.

Subject: The Perfect Husband


Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker- function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: “Hello”

WOMAN: “Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”

MAN: “Yes”

WOMAN: “I’m at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It’s only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?”

MAN: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.”

WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2021 models. I saw one I really liked.”

MAN: “How much?”

WOMAN: “$65,000.”

MAN: “OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.”

WOMAN: “Great! Oh, and one more thing. The house we wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking $950,000.”

MAN: “Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000.”

WOMAN: “OK. I’ll see you later! I love you!”

MAN: “Bye, I love you, too.”

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.

Then he smiles and asks: “Anyone know whose phone this is?”

Good one!
I saw that coming


Ditto.
But still a good laugh and actually close to what could be reality.

Subject: Trust Your Husband

There comes a time when a woman just has to trust her husband. For example...

A wife comes home late at night and quietly opens the door to her bedroom. From under the blanket she sees four legs instead of two. She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the blanket as hard as she can, leaving the covered bodies groaning in agony.

She then goes to the kitchen to have a drink.

As she enters the kitchen, she sees her husband sitting there, reading a magazine. "Hi, sweetheart," he says. "Your parents have come to visit us, so I let them stay in our bedroom. Did you say hello to them?"

It was raining hard and... a big puddle had formed in front of the little Irish pub.

An old man stood beside the puddle holding a stick with a string on
the end and jiggled it up and down in the water.

A curious gentleman asked what he was doing.

'Fishing,' replied the old man.

'Poor old bugger' thought the gentleman, so he invited the old man
to have a drink in the pub.

Feeling he should start some conversation while they were sipping
their whisky, the gentleman asked,

'And how many have you caught today?'

'You're the eighth' he said.
