A journalist assigned to the Jerusalem bureau takes an apartment overlooking the Western (Wailing) Wall. Every day when he looks out, he sees this old Jew praying vigorously. So the journalist goes down to the wall, and introduces himself to the old man. He asks, "You come every day to the wall. How long have you done that and what are you praying for?" The old Jew replies, "I have come here to pray every day for 25 years. In the morning I pray for world peace and then for the brotherhood of man. I go home have a cup of tea, and I come back and pray for the eradication of illness and disease from the earth." The amazed journalist finally asks, "How does it make you feel to come here every day for 25 years and pray for these things?" The old Jew replies calmly, "Like I'm talking to a wall."

A lady goes into the local sporting goods store to buy a fishing rod to give to her husband for his birthday. A salesman wearing dark glasses is behind the counter, with a dog, and asks, "Can I help you?" "Well, I'd like to buy a fishing rod, can you tell me about this one?" The salesman replies, "I'm sorry ma'am but I am blind and can not see the rod you're referring too. However, if you'll drop it on the counter I'll tell you all about it as I can tell from the sound it makes." The lady picks up the rod, and drops it on the counter. "That's a Zebco 2500, fiberglass, 6.5', medium action - $15." Lady, " Wow". She finds another and does the same. "That's an Orion 35C, graphite, 6', light action - best used with ultralight tackle - $20." Very impressed the lady decides to buy the second one. As the man is ringing up the sale, the lady rips a big fart but feels no need to apologize as the salesman is blind and has no idea who farted. Salesman says, "That'll be $25." Lady, "TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!? YOU SAID $20." "That's right ma'am, $20 for the rod, $3 for the duck call and $2 for the fish bait." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A big-rig operator stopped to pick up a girl hitchhiker wearing REALLY short shorts. "Say, What's your name, mister?" she inquired, after she climbed up in the truck. "It's Snow----Roy Snow," he answered, "and what's yours?" "Me, I'm June----June Hansen," she said. After a short while she asked, "Hey, why do you keep sizing me up with those sidelong glances?" "Can you imagine what it might be like," he countered, "....having eight inches of Snow in June?"
