ALL my jokes

ALL your jokes??? How careless of you not to back up your jokes. <g>

Last Call

A man was sitting dejectedly at a bar when a friend entered, slapped
the man on the back and drank the seated fellow's drink. The seated
man began to cry.

Awww! I'm sorry," he said. "I was just teasing. I'll buy you
another drink."

"No, you don't understand! My son died two weeks ago and my wife was
so upset she left me. I was laid off last week and expect a
foreclosure on the house soon. In addition, my doctor tells me I
have a disease which will weaken me over the next few years but won't
kill me for many years. Things look so dark that I decided to kill
myself. Now you've waltzed in and drank my poison."

A Fairy Tale Baby

Once upon a time, a mature woman in her 60s decided that she wanted
to have a baby. She read all about the modern fertility procedures
for older women. She decided that she would get pregnant, and have
a baby. And she did, and she did.

One of her old friends dropped by her house, and wanted to see the
baby. She said, "The baby is napping, and you'll have to wait until
he wakes up." So they talked and visited for a while.

After a while the friend said she had to go soon, but she really did
want to see the baby.

The mother was quite adamant: "You'll have to wait until he wakes
up."

The visitor said, "Can't I just peek in and look at him sleeping?"

The mother admitted, "I can't remember where I put him, but when
he wakes up and cries, then I can find him...."
