OBJECTS IN MIR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR.
A man was driving home late one afternoon and he was driving above the speed limit. He notices a police car with its red lights on in his rear view mirror. He thinks "I can outrun this guy," so he floors it and the race is on. The cars are racing down the highway - 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour. Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the guy figures "what the heck," and gives up. He pulls over to the curb.
The police officer gets out of his cruiser and approaches the car. He leans down and says "Listen mister, I've had a really lousy day and I just want to go home. Give me a good excuse and I'll let you go." The man thought for a moment and said..."Three weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer. When I saw your cruiser in my rear view mirror, I thought you were that officer and you were trying to give her back to me!
There is a big grocery store chain in the Chicago area called Dominick's. It was originally called Dominick's & Big Arty's, because it was started by two brothers named Dominick and Arty, who was rather big.
Well, early on in the partnership, Big Arty and Dominick had a big falling out which resulted in Dominick buying Big Arty out and Big Arty moving to California.
Well, Dominick prospered to the point where he was very wealthy and, like many wealthy men, he decided that he wanted to be free to do as he pleased. He knew, however, that if he divorced his wife, she would get half of everything he had, so he decided to have her bumped off. Well, he couldn't think of anybody better suited to the task than his brother Big Arty, so one night he called up Big Arty and asked him if he would do the job for $100,000. Big Arty replied, "Dominick, I don't want money, I just would like to be part of the business again. Dominick said, "Well, I want to pay you something just to make it contractually okay." Big Arty replied, "OK, give me a dollar for the job."
So they set it all up. One night Dominick had a good alibi and was away from the house. Big Arty flew in from California and went over to Dominick's house. He quietly slipped into the house because Dominick had given him the alarm code. Once inside, he ran into the butler. Well, Big Arty was a big strong guy, he grabbed the butler and choked him until he was dead. He started up the stairs where he encountered the maid. Big Arty grabbed her and choked her to death. He finally made it upstairs, found Dominick's wife, grabbed her and choked her to death also.
Well a neighbor had heard the commotion and called the police. They arrived just as Arty was leaving the house and arrested him.
The headlines in the paper the next day were "Big Arty chokes three for a dollar at Dominick's."

Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind."
PROFESSOR: Although in modern English the double negative is usually taken to mean an affirmative, in many linguistic contexts the double negative is an intensified negative, as the double affirmative is always an intensified affirmative. There is no known case of a double affirmative being used as a negative.
STUDENT: Yeah, right.
A man who smelled like a distillery flopped on a subway seat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket.
He opened his newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes the disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked, "Say, Father, what causes arthritis?"
"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, and a contempt for your fellow man."
"Well, I'll be damned," the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
"I don't have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does."
