He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms: "Honey," "My Love," "Darling," "Sweetheart," "Pumpkin," etc. The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.
While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to his host, "I think it"s wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names."
The old man hung his head. "I have to tell you the truth," he said. "I forgot her name about 10 years ago."

"Yep," the farmer said. "Them are circle flies."
"What"s a circle fly?"
"Them flies that circle a horse"s tail," answered the farmer. "Them are circle flies."

"Nope, I didn"t" the farmer replied. "But you just can"t fool them flies."

But custody of the children was a problem.
The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that, since she had brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them.
The old mountaineer also wanted custody of the children. The judge asked for his side of the story and, after a long moment of silence, the mountaineer slowly rose from his chair and said, "Judge, when I put a quarter in a candy machine and a candy bar comes out, does it belong to me or the machine?"
Pardon.
A flat-chested woman was delighted when her Fairy G.o.dmother said her b.r.e.a.s.t.s would increase in size every time a man said "Pardon" to her.
She walked down the sidewalk, accidentally b.u.mped into a man and he said, "Pardon me." Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s instantly grew an inch and she was ecstatic. The next day, she b.u.mped into a man in the grocery store, he begged her pardon and another inch was added to her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. She was in seventh heaven!
She walked into a Chinese restaurant, collided with a waiter who bowed and said, "A thousand pardons for my clumsy behavior."
The next day, the headline in the local newspaper read, "Chinese Waiter Crushed to Death!"

Six months pa.s.sed and finally Peter returned.
"Yes, we can do this for you."
"Well, as we have spent so much time together waiting for your answer, we need to know that if things don"t work out there"s a possibility that we could be divorced?" To which St. Peter answered "It took me six months to find a priest in heaven...how long do you think it will take me to find a lawyer up there?"
Barracks Door.

Calling her in, he asked, "By the way, Miss Jones, when you saw my barracks door open this morning, did you also see a soldier standing at attention?"
The secretary, who was quite witty, replied, "Why, no sir. all I saw was a little, disabled veteran, sitting on two duffel bags!"
