An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

You knew her "personally"?

Nope, just judging her on that one particular item. Do I need more? I don't think so, but I've dug some up anyway.

The life and times of Howlin' Wolf

Wolf's mother was a real piece of work. She threw him out of the house when he was still a cub, forcing him to hike barefoot over frozen ground to his great uncle Will Young's house many miles away. Turns out it was your classic frying pan/fire scenario as Young was no picnic either... he was once described as 'the meanest man between here and hell.'

At the height of his success Wolf tried to reconcile with his mother. Offering her money, she took the cash and stamped it into the ground. She didn't want anything to do with his 'Devil music.' Lovely…

Yesterday I was at my local grocery store buying a large bag of dog food for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had an elephant?
So, on impulse I told her that no, I didn’t have a dog, I was starting the Dog Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in hospital last time, but I’d lost 10 pounds before I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with My Dog nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in queue was now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off the curb to sniff an Irish Setter’s butt and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. I’m now banned from my local grocery store .

Arrival In Heaven


All arrivals in heaven have to go through a bureaucratic examination

to determine whether admission will be granted.


One room has a clerk who inputs computerized records of what each

applicant did on his or her last day of life.


The first applicant of the day explains that his last day was not a

good one. "I came home early and found my wife lying naked in bed.


She claimed she had just gotten out of the shower. Well, her hair was

dry and I checked the shower and it was completely dry too. I knew she was into some hanky-panky and I began to look for her lover.


I went onto the balcony of our 9th floor apartment and found the SOB

clinging to the rail by his fingertips.


I was so angry that I began bashing his fingers with a flower pot. He

let go and fell, but his fall was broken by some awnings and bushes.


On seeing he was still alive I found super human strength to drag our

antique cedar chest to the balcony and throw it over. It hit the man and killed him.


At this point the stress got to me and I suffered a massive heart

attack and died."


The clerk thanked him and sent him on to the waiting room.


The second applicant said that his last day was his worst. "I was on

the roof of an apartment building working on the AC equipment. I stumbled over my tools and toppled off the building.


I managed to grab onto the balcony rail of a 9th floor apartment but

some idiot came rushing out on the balcony and bashed my hands with a flower pot.


I fell but hit some awnings and bushes and survived, but as I looked

up

I saw a huge chest falling toward me. I tried to crawl out of the way but failed and was hit and killed by the chest."


The clerk couldn't help but chuckle as he directs the man to the

waiting room.


He is still giggling when his third customer of the day enters. He

apologizes and says "I doubt that your last day was as interesting as the two fellows that arrived here just before you."


"I don't know" replies the man. "Picture this, I'm buck naked, hiding

in this cedar chest......"

This ones for you Andy....

The old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat on tight so that it would not blow off in the wind.

A gentleman approached her and said: “Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be forward, but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?”

“Yes, I know,” said the lady, “I need both hands to hold onto this hat.” “But, madam..., you must know that your privates are exposed!” said the gentleman in earnest.

The woman looked down, then back up at the man and replied, “Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old. I just bought this hat yesterday!”

A little boy was waiting for his mother to come out of the grocery
Store. As he waited, he was approached by a man called Terry who asked, "Son, can
You tell me where the Post Office is?"
The little boy replied, "Sure! Just go straight down this street a
Coupla blocks and turn to your right."
Terry thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm the new pastor in town.
I'd like for you to come to church on Sunday. I'll show you how to get to Heaven."
The little boy replied with a chuckle. "Awww, come on... You don't
Even know the way to the Post Office".
