A dog is truly a man&#039;s best friend. If you don&#039;t believe it, just try this experiment:
Put your dog and your wife in the boot of the car for an hour.
When you open the boot, which one is really happy to see you?Q. What&#039;s long and hard and makes women moan?
A. An ironing board.
After dying in a car crash, three friends go to heaven.
As they arrive, they have to have a short interview with an Angel with a clipboard. &#039;When you&#039;re lying in your coffin, and friends and family are mourning over you, what would you like to hear them say about you?&#039; he asks.
The first man immediately responds, &#039;I would like to hear them say that I was one of the great doctors of my time, and a great family man.&#039;
The second guy says, &#039;I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and fine schoolteacher who made a huge difference in the children of tomorrow.&#039;
The last guy thinks for a moment, and then replies, &#039;I guess I&#039;d like to hear them say, &#039;Look, he&#039;s moving!&#039;&#039;
A woman is in court for shoplifting.
The judge asks her: &#039;So what did you take from the shop?&#039;
The lady replied, &#039;A tin of peaches.&#039;
The judge said, &#039;OK, how many peaches were in the tin&#039;?
&#039;Six&#039; she answered.
&#039;Well I&#039;m going to sentence you to six days in prison, one day for every peach.&#039;
A man at the back stands up and asks to speak.
&#039;Let him speak says the judge.&#039;
The man says, &#039;I&#039;m the lady&#039;s husband, and can I just say...she also took a tin of peas.&#039;</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These aren&#8217;t true, of course, but still a nice laugh&#8230;.</p><p> Pro Male Jokes?</p><p>A dog is truly a man&#8217;s best friend.

Hope you like this, a true one from the UK.A 98 year old woman in the UK  wrote this to her bank. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have  it published in the Times.Dear Sir,I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque  with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations,  three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque  and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my Pension, an arrangement,  which, I admit, has been in place for only thirty eight years. You are to  be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for  debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person.My  mortgage and loan payments will therefore and hereafter no longer be  automatic, but will arrive at your bank by cheque, addressed personally  and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be  aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other person to  open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact Status  which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to  eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your  bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies  of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Solicitor, and  the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts,  assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented  proof.In due course, I will  issue your employee with PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings  with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I  have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access  my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is  the sincerest form of flattery.Let me level the playing field even further. When  you call me, press buttons as follows:1 To make an appointment to see  me.
2 To query a missing  payment.
3 To transfer the call  to my living room in case I am there.
4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am  sleeping.
5 To transfer the call  to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
6  to transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am  not at home.
7 To leave a message  on my computer (a password to access my computer is required. A password  will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized  Contact.)
8 To return to the main  menu and to listen to options 1 through to 8.
9 To make a general complaint or inquiry, the  contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated  answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait,  uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less  prosperous, New Year.Your  Humble Client(Remember: This was written by a 98 year old  woman;
