The Forgetful Lunch Date
An older couple stopped for lunch at a cozy roadside diner. After enjoying their meal, they got back in the car and drove off. Forty minutes later, the wife gasped — she had left her glasses on the table.
Turning around was a hassle, and the husband grumbled the whole way back. When they finally arrived, she stepped out of the car. That’s when her husband called after her:
“While you’re in there, grab my hat and the credit card too!”
Marriage is all about teamwork… and sometimes, shared forgetfulness.
Horse Races and Hilarious Misunderstandings
One morning, a husband felt a sudden smack on the back of his head. His wife was holding a slip of paper with the name “Mary” scrawled across it.
“What’s this about?” she demanded.
“Darling,” he stammered, “Mary was the name of the horse I bet on at the races!”
She apologized, kissed him, and let it go. But a few days later, she stormed in and slapped him again.
“What now?” he groaned.
“Your horse just called,” she snapped.
Trust in relationships is important — but so is timing.
Refrigerator Mayhem
Suspicious of his wife, a man rushed home early. Looking outside, he spotted a stranger sitting in a Volkswagen. Furious, he hurled the refrigerator out the window at the man — and promptly had a heart attack.
In heaven, St. Peter shook his head and sent him to hell for murder.
Minutes later, the man from the Volkswagen arrived. “I was just sitting in my car when a fridge crushed me!” Off to hell he went as well.
Finally, a trembling man showed up. “I don’t know what happened. One moment, I was hiding inside a fridge…”
Some misunderstandings are heavenly comedy.
Successful Sons
At a high school reunion, three women bragged about their sons.
One boasted that her banker son had given his friend a Ferrari. Another bragged her pilot son gave his best friend a jet. The third said her architect son built his friend a castle.
When their fourth friend returned, they asked about her son.
She shrugged. “He’s a dancer at a strip club. But for his birthday last week, he got a Ferrari, a jet, and a castle from his boyfriends!”
Success takes many forms — and sometimes, it’s hilarious.
The Fishing Expedition
A young man got a job at a huge department store in Florida. On his first day, the manager asked how many sales he’d made.
“Just one,” he admitted.
“Only one? Most people make 20 or 30 a day! What did you sell?”
The young man explained: “I sold a fishing hook, then a rod, then a boat, and finally a 4×4 truck to tow it.”
The manager was stunned. “How did you do all that?”
“Well, he came in for tampons. I said, ‘Your weekend’s ruined — why not go fishing?’”
Salesmanship and humor go hand in hand.
Morning Secrets Revealed
A newlywed groom confided in his pastor: “My feet smell awful. I’m scared my wife won’t handle it.” The pastor advised him to wash often and wear socks to bed.
Meanwhile, the bride told the pastor’s wife: “My morning breath is unbearable. I’m terrified it’ll ruin things.” She was told to brush early before speaking.
For months, their secrets stayed safe. But one morning, the groom woke up, missing a sock.
Frantically searching, he muttered, “Where’s my sock?”
His wife groggily blurted out, “You swallowed it!”
Love means accepting quirks — and sometimes laughing about them.
The Husband Store
In Melbourne, a store offered women a chance to “shop” for husbands. Each floor had better options, but once you moved up, you couldn’t go back.
The signs read:
- Floor 1: These men have jobs.
- Floor 2: These men have jobs and love kids.
- Floor 3: These men have jobs, love kids, and are good-looking.
- Floor 5: These men have jobs, love kids, are handsome, help with housework, and are romantic.
Tempted, one woman went to the final floor. The sign read:
“You are visitor 31,456,012. This floor exists only to prove women are impossible to please.”
Expectations in relationships often clash with reality — hilariously so.
The Anniversary Gift
Bob forgot his wedding anniversary. Furious, his wife demanded a gift that went from 0 to 200 in six seconds by the next morning.
When she opened the box in the driveway, she found… a bathroom scale.
No one has seen Bob since.
Family Origins Debate
A boy asked his father how people were created. The dad explained the story of Adam and Eve. Later, he asked his mother, who said humans evolved from monkeys.
Confused, the child ran back to his father. “You lied! Mom said we evolved from monkeys!”
His father smiled. “She’s just talking about her side of the family.”
Sometimes, family humor is the best humor.
Selective Hearing
John suspected his wife was losing her hearing. Without telling her, he decided to test it.
Standing behind her, he asked, “Honey, can you hear me?” No reply.
He moved closer. Still nothing.
Finally, he leaned over and shouted, “Honey, can you hear me now?”
She turned around, annoyed. “For the third time, YES!”
Communication problems in marriage are classic comedy material.
Nail-Biting Habit
Two friends discussed their husbands’ bad habits.
“I wish George would stop biting his nails,” one sighed.
“My Arnold used to do that, but I cured him,” the other replied.
“How?”
“I hid his teeth.”
Problem solved — with a punchline.
Dinner Surprise
At dinner, a boy asked, “Dad, are bugs good to eat?”
Disgusted, the father scolded him for ruining the meal. Later, he asked what the boy wanted to know.
The boy shrugged. “Oh, nothing. There was a bug in your soup, but it’s gone now.”
Kids always serve up the best jokes at the table.
