My wife Keeley discovered that our dog Bobby (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took him to the vet.

The vet examined him and found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both Bobby's ears, and he could then hear just fine.

The vet then advised Keeley that, if she wanted to keep this from ever happening again, she should go to up the town's chemist and buy some "Nair" hair remover and rub this in Bobby's ears twice a month.

Keeley then went to the store and bought the "Nair" hair remover. At the cash register, the pharmacist advised her, "Now, if you intend using this under your arms, do not use deodorants for two days or so."

Keeley said, "I will not be using it under my arms."

The pharmacist said, "Well, if you intend putting it on your legs, do not use any skin lotions for a couple of days."

Keeley replied, "Well, I'm not using it on the legs either. If you must know, I'm going to use it on my Schnauzer."

"Oh..." The pharmacist said, "Well in that case stay off your bicycle for a week."

A convict broke into a house to look for money and to procure a gun. Instead, he found a couple upstairs in bed.

He ordered the guy out of bed and tied him to a chair.

Whilst tying the wife to the bed the convict straddled her and nuzzled her neck, then arose and promptly went to the bathroom.

While he was in there, the husband whispered to his wife: "Listen, this guy is an escaped convict, probably a murderer. Look at his clothes! He's no doubt spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a female for years. I saw him kiss your neck. If he attempts sex, don't resist or complain - do as he tells you, whatever. Satisfy him, no matter if it nauseates you. The guy is obviously very dangerous," he added. "If the big brute gets angry, he'll murder us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!'

The wife retorted: "He wasn't kissing my neck; he was murmuring something in my ear. He told me he's gay, thinks you are rather cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline.

I told him it was in the bathroom... Be strong honey, I love you."

"BARGAIN BASEMENT UPSTAIRS"

* On the wall in the mechanic's garage:
"COULD THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE LADDER YESTERDAY PLEASE BRING IT BACK OR FURTHER STEPS WILL BE TAKEN"

* Message in an office break room:
"AFTER COFFEE BREAK STAFF SHOULD EMPTY THE COFFEE POT AND STAND UPSIDE DOWN ON THE DRAINING BOARD"

~
* Taped beside a second-hand store door:
"WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING - BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, LUMBER, ETC. WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?"

* Memo to ease conference attendees:
"FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN'T KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE ON THE FIRST FLOOR"

* Emphasis to trespassers in a pasture:
"THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES."

* Appears at bottom of a leaflet page:
"IF YOU CANNOT READ, THIS LEAFLET WILL TELL YOU HOW TO GET LESSONS"

* Memo seen at automotive repair shop:
"WE CAN REPAIR ANYTHING. PLEASE KNOCK HARD ON THE DOOR - THE BELL DOESN'T WORK"

Stupid mistakes. Mere typos? No, I doubt it - it's attitude!

The accurate truth why the lively musical jewels I watch are moving:

Lady Gaga taught me how it's okay to be different.

Kesha taught me to be myself and not care what anyone else thinks.

Bruno Mars taught me that the one person I love - to do anything for her.

Eminem taught me that life is hard or depressing but still, you can make it through. ~

Taylor Swift taught me that not every guy and girl who hauls around here is going to treat me right.

Michael Jackson taught me national hope: to always love the friends around me.

Music taught me how to live in my life.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY:

Rebecca Black taught me days of the week.
Funny, I see harsh haters think the teenager's bad!

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A MAMMOGRAM
Many women are scared of their first mammogram, and even if they have had one before, they still have fear. But there is no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week prior to the appointment to practise the exercises below, you will be prepared for the test, and best of all, you can do them all in your home!

EXERCISE ONE: Open your refrigerator door and insert one of your breasts between the door and the main box. Have a strong friend slam the door shut as hard as possible and lean on the door for good measure. Hold that position for five seconds. Repeat (just in case the first time wasn't effective). Switch sides and repeat.

EXERCISE TWO: Go out to the garage at two a.m. when the freezing temperature of the cement floor is perfect. Take off all your clothes and lie on the floor sideways with one breast wedged under the rear wheel of the car. Ask your husband or your friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled, and then switch sides to repeat.
~
EXERCISE THREE: Place two metal bookends in the freezer overnight. Strip down to your waist. Find a muscular female bodybuilder off the street and invite her into your home to assist. Next, have the stranger press the frosty bookends against either side of one of your breasts, then the other, and forcefully smash the cold bookends together as hard as she can. Set an appointment with the stranger to join you next year to provide the same service again. Offer to reciprocate.

Meanwhile, if you're not sure if a well-endowed woman officemate or friend you care about has had her mammogram lately, why not approach her and make a formal "best friend" date with her? While offering her decaffeinated coffee in a crowded restaurant, tell her how incredible she would look in a tissue-paper dress, and that you read somewhere that getting your boobs smashed between two cold metal plates is an effective way to burn off extra calories to slim you.

Congratulations! You are now properly prepared for the noted test to be performed.

I was so depressed last night thinking about the dead economy, lack of jobs, Social Security, the next war, my lack of retirement savings, etc., that I called the Suicide Hotline.
After a delay, ~ I got to the call centre in the remotest Pakistan locale.
When I confessed that I was joyless, sad and suicidal, the guys got really excited! They asked if I can drive a bomb in a truck for them.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. =
They're testy, inconvenient words you don't want to hear said if you've been on the tequila, you're high on cocaine, cosy in bed on a yummy mummy, or doing anything heavy in a field you oughtn't.
