Tensions of life...
The tensions of life were threatening to get a strangle hold on Bob, and after he'd finished a good dinner, he relaxed mindlessly in a soft chair next to the stereo, with a stiff drink in his hand.
His wife knew nothing of his nervous state, and she climbed onto his lap with the thought of trying to wheedle a gift out of him by snuggling, murmuring and fondling him.
'Jesus, woman, get off of me!' he exploded. 'I get enough of this at the office.'"

Doctor's Exam
"A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor.
The doctor says, 'Okay, Mrs. Jones, what's the problem?'
The mother says, 'It's my daughter Darla, she keeps getting these cravings, she's putting on weight and is sick most mornings.'
The doctor gives Darla a good examination then turns to the mother and says, 'Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but your Darla is pregnant - about 4 months would be my guess.'
The mother says, 'Pregnant?! She can't be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you Darla?'
Darla says, 'No mother! I've never even kissed a man!'
The doctor walks over to the window and just stares out it.
About five minutes pass and finally the mother says, 'Is there something wrong out there doctor?'
The doctor replies, 'No, not really, it's just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I'll be darned if I'm going to miss it this time!'"

Why do identical twins have different fingerprints?
Although identical twins share the same DNA, they don’t look identical cell-for-cell, because not every aspect of your physical appearance is rigidly determined by your genes. Fingerprints are formed semi-randomly as the foetus develops in the womb andare affected by such things as chance fluctuations of hormone levels. Similarly, the pattern of freckles and moles on the skin is caused by random mutations and will vary between identical twins."
Greatest 101 questions of all time
A Million Dollar Picture
George had responded to a call from his lawyer, insisting that they meet at once. He arrived at his lawyer's firm, and was ushered into his office.
"Do you want the bad news first or the terrible news?" the lawyer asked.
"Well, if those are my choices, I guess I'll take the bad news first."
"Your wife found a picture worth a million dollars."
"That's the bad news?" George was stunned? "If you call that bad, I can't wait to hear the terrible news."
"The terrible news is that it's of you and your secretary."

Household Duties
"Three men were sitting together talking about how they had given their new wives duties.
Terry had married a woman from America and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed to be done at their home. He said he had to repeat this for a couple of days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.
Jimmie had married a woman from Australia. He related that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the house cleaning, dishes and cooking. He told the others that he didn't see any results in the first day but after the first day things were better. By the third the house was clean, the dishes were done and he had a huge dinner.
The third lad had married a Scottish Girl. He boasted that he told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he couldn't see anything, and didn't see anything the second day, either. By the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye. Enough, anyway, to fix himself a bite of toast, load the dishwasher, and call a landscaper."
