JOKES
They are marketing a new cure for baldness. It does not grow hair; it just shrinks your head to fit what hair you have got.
Now I have started to lose my hair you should charge me less for a haircut.
– On the contrary, I should charge you more for looking for it.
The most difficult part of a diet isn’t watching what you eat. It’s watching what other people eat.
Walking is a pleasure only when you can afford to drive if you want to.
A lady saw an old man rocking merrily on his front porch. He had a happy smile on his face. She approached him and asked him about his secret of a long and happy life.
“I smoke four packages of cigarettes a day, drink five bottles of Scotch a week, eat a lot of fatty food and I never exercise.”
“Amazing! How old are you?”
“I am twenty-six”, he replied.
