Joke #1: The $800 Towel Drop
A woman was stepping out of the shower when her doorbell rang. She quickly wrapped herself in a towel and answered the door, only to find her neighbor, Bob, standing there. Without missing a beat, Bob offered her $800 to drop the towel. After a quick mental calculation, she decided the money was worth it and let the towel fall. True to his word, Bob handed over the cash and left.
Later, her husband asked who was at the door. She casually mentioned it was Bob from next door. “Great!” he replied. “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story: Make sure you have all the details before making a decision.
Joke #2: The Genie’s One-Wish Policy
A sales rep, an admin clerk, and their manager stumbled upon an old lamp during lunch. Upon rubbing it, a genie appeared, offering each one of them a wish. The admin clerk quickly wished to be on a beach in the Bahamas, and poof—she was gone. The sales rep then wished to be in Hawaii with endless piña coladas, and poof—he disappeared too. Finally, the manager simply wished for the other two to be back in the office after lunch.
Moral of the story: Let your boss speak first!
Joke #3: The Nun and the Psalm
A priest offered a nun a ride. As they drove, the nun crossed her legs, revealing a bit too much leg. The priest, tempted, placed his hand on her thigh. The nun gently reminded him, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest quickly removed his hand but soon gave in to temptation again. “Father, Psalm 129?” she repeated. Later, the priest looked up Psalm 129: “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
Moral of the story: Know your job well, or you might miss great opportunities.
Joke #4: The Lazy Crow and the Rabbit
A crow sat in a tree all day doing nothing. A rabbit, noticing this, asked if he could do the same. “Sure, why not?” said the crow. So, the rabbit lay on the ground below, doing nothing. Suddenly, a fox appeared and ate the rabbit.
Moral of the story: To do nothing, you better be sitting very high up.
Joke #5: The Turkey’s Misguided Ambition
A turkey wanted to reach the top of a tall tree. A bull suggested the turkey eat some of its droppings, claiming they were full of nutrients. The turkey followed the advice and managed to reach the lower branches, eventually making it to the top. However, once there, the turkey was spotted by a farmer and shot down.
Moral of the story: Success built on questionable means won’t last.
Joke #6: The Bird, the Dung, and the Cat
A small bird was flying south for the winter but fell into a field, freezing in the cold. A cow came by and dropped a warm pile of dung on the bird, thawing it out. The bird, feeling cozy, began to sing, which attracted a nearby cat. The cat dug the bird out of the dung and promptly ate it.
Moral of the story: Not everyone who gets you out of a mess is your friend, and sometimes, it’s best to keep quiet.
