Everyone loves a good joke, or quip. Like quotes, I come across plenty of them, and wish I could remember them for later use. Therefore, I am using this web site to record them, so they can be used. Feel free to use them for whatever purpose, but promise to pass along the good ones you hear so I can share them with everyone else. By the way, one of my criterion is it has to be a joke you can tell in front of a crowd consisting of 100 people you don’t know plus your mother and your spouse. (fictitious spouse if you don’t have one). Just remember, I get to be the final judge of which ones get used. |

Jack Nicklaus plays golf for the Pope |
The Pope met with his Cardinals to discuss a proposal from Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel. “Your Holiness,” said one of his Cardinals, “Mr. Netanyahu wants to challenge you to a game of golf to show the friendship and ecumenical spirit shared by the Jewish and Catholic faiths.” |
The Pope thought this was a good idea, but he had never held a golf club in his hand. “Don’t we have a Cardinal to represent me?” he asked. |
“None that plays very well,” a Cardinal replied. “But,” he added, “there is a man named Jack Nicklaus, an American golfer who is a devout Catholic. We can offer to make him a Cardinal, then ask him to play Mr. Netanyahu as your personal representative. In addition, to showing our spirit of cooperation, we’ll also win the match.” |
Everyone agreed it was a good idea. The call was made. Of course, Nicklaus was honored and agreed to play. The day after the match, Nicklaus reported to the Vatican to inform the Pope of the result. “I have some good news and some bad news, your Holiness, ” said the golfer. “Tell me the good news first, Cardinal Nicklaus,” said the Pope. |
“Well, your Holiness, I don’t like to brag, but even though I’ve played some pretty terrific rounds of golf in my life, this was the best I have ever played, by far. I must’ve been inspired from above. My drives were long and true, my irons were accurate and purposeful, and my putting was perfect. With all due respect, my play was truly miraculous. |
“There’s bad news?” the Pope asked.“Yes,” Nicklaus sighed. “I lost to Rabbi Tiger Woods by three strokes.” |

Jesus and Moses go golfing |
Moses and Jesus are part of a Threesome playing golf one day Moses pulls up to the tee and drives a long one. The ball lands on the fairway, but rolls directly toward a water trap. Quickly, Moses raises his club, the water parts, and the ball rolls to the other side, safe and sound. |
Next, Jesus strolls up to the tee and hits a nice long one directly toward the same water trap. It lands right in the center of the pond and kind of hovers over the water. Jesus casually walks out on the water and chips the ball right up onto the green. |
Then, the third guy gets up and sort of randomly whacks the ball.It heads out over the fence and into oncoming traffic on a nearby street. It bounces off a truck and hits a nearby tree. From there, it bounces onto the roof of a shack close by and rolls down into the gutter, down the drain spout, out onto the fairway and straight toward the aforementioned pond. |
On the way to the pond, the ball hits a little stone and bounces out over the water and onto a lily pad, where it comes quietly to rest.Suddenly, a very large bullfrog jumps on the lily pad and snatches the ball into his mouth. Just then, an eagle swoops down and grabs the frog and flies away.As they pass over the green, the frog squeals with fright and drops the ball, which bounces right into the hole for a beautiful hole in one. |
Moses leans over toward Jesus and whispers: “I hate playing with your Dad.” |

A Talented Frog |
A man walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “Hey, if I show you a trick will you give me a free drink?” |
The bartender says, “I don’t know. Show me the trick first and we’ll see.” |
The man pulls a frog out of his pocket and sets him down at the piano where the frog proceeds to play the best jazz the bartender’s ever heard. Amazed, the bartender gives the man his free drink |
Then the man says, “Hey bartender, if I show you another trick, can I get another free drink?” |
The bartender says, “It it’s anything like the trick you just showed me you can drink the rest of the night for free.” |
So the man pulls a rat from his other pocket, puts it on top of the piano, and the rat starts singing scat along with the frog’s jazz riffs. The bartender starts pouring drinks for the man as fast as he can drink them. |
A few hours later, an agent walks into the bar and sees the frog and the rat going at it on the piano. He says to the bartender, “Why, that’s the greatest act I’ve ever seen! Who owns that act?” |
The bartender points to the man, who by now is passed out on the floor and says, “That guy owns them.” |
The agent wakes the man up and says, “That’s the greatest act I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ll give you a hundred thousand dollars for that act.” |
The man says, “They’re not for sale.” |
The agent says, “Okay then, I’ll give you fifty thousand dollars for just the scat-singing rat.” |
The man says, “Okay, it’s a deal,” and the agent gives him the fifty thousand dollars and leaves with the rat. |
The bartender is astonished and yells at the man, “I can’t believe you just did that. You had a million dollar act there, and you just broke it up for a measly fifty grand!” |
“Relax,” the man says. “The frog’s a ventriloquist.” |

A New Watch |
Jake is struggling through a bus station with two massive and obviously very heavy suitcases when a stranger walks up to him and asks, “Have you got the time?” |
Jake lets out a big sigh… puts down the two heavy suitcases and glances at his wrist. “It’s quarter to six,” he says. |
“Hey! That’s a pretty fancy watch!” exclaims the stranger. |
Jake brightens up a little. “Yeah, it’s not bad. Check this out” – and he shows him a time zone display not just for every time zone in the world, but for the 86 largest metropoli. |
Jake hits a few more buttons and from somewhere on the watch a voice says, “The time is eleven ’til six” in a very West Texas accent. A few more buttons and the same voice says something in Japanese. Jake continues, ” I’ve put in regional accents for each city”. The display is unbelievably high quality and the voice is simply astounding. |
The stranger is dumbstruck with admiration. “That’s not all” Jake says. He pushes a few more buttons and a tiny but very hi-resolution map of New York City appears on the display. “The flashing dot shows our location by satellite positioning”, explains Jake. “View recede ten,” Jake says, and the display changes to show eastern New York State. |
“I want to buy this watch!” says the stranger. |
“Oh, no, it’s not ready for sale yet; I’m still working out the bugs,” says Jake, the inventor. “But look at this”, and he proceeds to demonstrate the watch is also a very credible little FM radio receiver with a digital tuner, a sonar device that can measure distances up to 125 meters, a pager with thermal paper printout and most impressive of all, the capacity for voice recordings up to 300 standard-size-books, “though I only have 32 of my favorites in there son far” says Jake. |
“I’ve got to have this watch!” says the stranger. |
“No, you don’t understand: it’s not ready.” |
“I’ll give you a $1000 for it!” |
“Oh no, I’ve already spent more than that in the development stages” |
“I’ll give you $5000 for it!” |
“But it’s just not…” |
“I’ll give you $15,000 for it!” And the stranger pulls out a checkbook. |
Jake stops to think. He’s only put about $8500 into materials and development and with $15,000 he can make another one and have it ready for merchandising in only six months. |
The stranger frantically finishes writing the check and waves it in front of him. “Here it is, ready to hand to you right here and now… $15,000…Take it or leave it.” |
Jake abruptly makes his decision. “OK,” he says and peels off the watch. They make the exchange and the stranger starts happily away. |
“Hey, wait a minute!” calls Jake after the stranger, who turns around warily. Jake points to the two huge and very heavy suitcases that he has been wrestling through the bus station. |
“Don’t forget your batteries!” |

Five Surgeons |
Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on. |
The first surgeon says, “I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.” |
The second responds, “Yeah, but you should try electricians!Everything inside them is color coded.” |
The third surgeon says, “No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.” |
The fourth surgeon chimes in, “You know, I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and then the job takes longer than you said it would.” |
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on.There’s no guts, no heart, and no spine, and the head and the rear are interchangeable.” |

Jewish Boy in a Catholic Church |
A ten-year-old Jewish boy was failing math.His parents tried everything from tutors to hypnosis, but to no avail. Finally, at the insistence of a family friend, they decided to enroll their son in a private Catholic school. |
After the first day, the boy’s parents were surprised when he walked in after school with a stern, focused and very determined expression on his face. |
He went straight past them, right to his room and quietly closed the door. For nearly two hours he toiled away in his room with math, books strewn about his desk and the surrounding floor.He emerged long enough to eat, and after quickly cleaning his plate, went straight back to his room, closed the door and worked feverishly at his studies until bedtime. |
This pattern of behavior continued until it was time for the first quarter’s report card.The boy walked in with it unopened, laid it on the dinner table and went straight to his room. |
Cautiously, his mother opened it and, to her amazement, she saw a large red ‘A’ under the subject of math.Overjoyed, she and her husband rushed into their son’s room, thrilled at his remarkable progress. |
“Was it the nuns that did it?” the father asked. |
The boy shook his head and said, “No.” |
“Was it the one-to-one tutoring?The peer-mentoring?” |
“No.” |
“The textbooks? The teachers? The curriculum?” |
“No,” said the son. “On that first day, when I walked in the front door and saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I KNEW they were serious! |

Priest at the Track |
Charlie was a regular visitor at the racetrack. One afternoon he noticed an unusual sight. Right before the first race, a Catholic priest visited one of the horses in the stable area and gave it a blessing. Charlie watched the horse race very carefully, and sure enough the blessed horse came in first! |
Charlie followed the priest before the next race, and again the priest went to the stables and performed a similar procedure. Charlie played a hunch and put a couple of dollars on the blessed horse. Sure enough, the blessed horse came in by two lengths and Charlie won close to fifty bucks! The priest continued the same procedure through the next few races and the horse won each time. |
So between races Charlie left the track and went to the bank to withdraw his life’s savings, $20,000. The biggest race of the day was the last one. Charlie followed the priest and watched carefully which horse he blessed. He then went to the betting window and put his whole bundle of cash on that horse, to win. Then Charlie went out to watch the horses race. |
Down the stretch they came and as they crossed the finish line, the horse Charlie’s fortune was bet on was far behind — dead last!Charlie was crushed. |
He located the priest and told him that he had been watching him bless the horses which all became winners throughout the day. Charlie then asked, “What happened to the last horse which you blessed? Because of your failure on that last horse, I have lost my entire life’s savings.” |
“That’s the trouble with you Protestants,” sighed the priest, “you never could tell the difference between a blessing and the Last Rites.” |

I assured her that I did, but simply couldn’t recall anything about firemen in the Bible. |
She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. |
Sticking it in my face she said ”See, it says right here, the three wise men came from afar. |

Sister Mary Agnes switches on the wipers, which knocks the mini-Dracula around.But, he hangs on and continues hissing at the nuns. “What shall I do now?” she shouts. |
“Try the windshield washer. I filled it with holy water before we left the Vatican,” replies Sister Mary Vincent. |
Sister Mary Agnes turns on the windshield washer.The vampire screams as the water burns his skin, but he hangs on and continues hissing at the nuns. |
“Now what?” shouts Sister Mary Agnes. |
“Show him your cross,” says Sister Mary Vincent. |

This happens yet again. The next evening the man again orders and drinks three beers at a time, several times.Soon the entire town is whispering about the Man Who Orders Three Beers. Finally, a week later, the bartender broaches the subject on behalf of the town. “I don’t mean to pry, but folks around here are wondering why you always order three beers?””Tis odd, isn’t it?” the man replies, “You see, I have two brothers, and one went to America, and the other to Australia. We promised each other that we would always order an extra two beers whenever we drank as a way of keeping up the family bond.”The bartender and the whole town was pleased with this answer, and soon the Man Who Orders Three Beers became a local celebrity and source of pride to the hamlet, even to the extent that out-of-towners would come to watch him drink. Then, one day, the man comes in and orders only two beers.The bartender pours them with a heavy heart. This continues for the rest of the evening – he orders only two beers. The word flies around town. Prayers are offered for the soul of one of the brothers. The next day, the bartender says to the man, “Folks around here, me first of all, want to offer condolences to you for the death of your brother. You know – the two beers and all…”The man ponders this for a moment, then replies, “You’ll be happy to hear that my two brothers are alive and well. It’s just that I, meself, have decided to give up drinking for Lent.” |

She said, “Please allow me to help. I’m a physical therapist and I know I could relieve your pain.” “Ummph, oooh, nnooo, I’ll be all right…I’ll be fine in a few minutes,” he replied breathlessly as he remained in the fetal position still clasping his hands together at his crotch. But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help him. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, she loosened his pants, and she put her hands inside. She began to massage him. She then asked him, “How does that feel?” To which he replied, “It feels great, but my thumb still hurts like hell.” |

Seeing Eye Dog on a Plane
I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By the time we took off, there had been a 45-minute delay and everybody on board was ticked.Unexpectedly, we stopped in Sacramento on the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be another 45-minute delay, and if we wanted to get off the aircraft, we would re-board in 30 minutes.Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. I noticed him as I walked by and could tell he had flown before because his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. I could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him and, calling him by name, said, “Keith, we’re in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?” Keith replied, “No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs.” Picture this … all the people in the gate area came to a completely quiet standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, they also were trying to change airlines! |

Beauty is a Relative Value
Janet, Linda, and Geri went to the rodeo. Unfortunately, a big bull jumped the fence into the spectators and they were trampled.
