An old one from Johnny Carson. I can't remember the set-up but this was the curse. "May the fleas of a thousand camels nest in your socks."



Johnny had some good ones- he used to do them when Ed would announce that they had come the last envelope in the Carnac
skit and the audience would cheer. He'd look right in the camera and curse the audience. The one I remember was "May an unclean yak sit in your mashed potatoes". Why I remember that one I'll never know...

Here is one more.
A man lives on the 10th floor. The man gets on the elevator in his apartment building every morning. He pushes the button for the 1st floor. He gets off the elevator and walks to work. Every evening, the same man gets on the elevator pushes the 5th floor button, gets off and walks the last 5 flights of stairs... why?

Because the 5th floor button is the highest one he can reach.

I'm sure this one may offend someone and it's not intended to do so and I'll apologize ahead of time but my grandmother always says this line and it cracks me up everytime...."I was as nervous as a whore in church".

Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was
probably the greatest political sage this country has ever known.
Enjoy the following quotes----

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it
back in your pocket.


8. There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to
pee on the electric fence.


9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes
from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now
and then to make sure it's still there.


11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n putting it back


12. AND FINALLY: After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt
so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him
The moral When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AND, ABOUT GROWING OLDER........

First, eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about
your age and start bragging about it.

Second, the older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third, some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want
people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and
some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth, when you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to
youth, think of Algebra.


Fifth, you know you are getting old when every thing either dries or leaks.

Sixth, I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the
top.

Seventh, one of the many things no one tells you about aging is
that it is such a nice change from being young.

Eighth, one must wait until evening to see how splendid the day
has been.

Ninth, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth, long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it
was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.


And finally, If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have
anything to laugh at when you are old.

When surrounded by females doing female things (shopping) and you (male) are in the vast minority. You are:

Swimming in the estrogen ocean.
or
You need squigee the estrogen off the walls

I apologize for offending any women, that was not my intent. I have gotten many laughs from those lines by men and women alike.

Along the same lines, I've always liked the following line from the Coen brothers film, "O, Brother Where Art Thou" when Everett says to Pete and Delmar:

"You two are dumber than a bag of hammers."

A few of my favorite ways to maintain my sanity:)....

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it
"in."

17. When the money comes out the ATM, scream, "I won,
I won!"

19. Tell your children over dinner; "due to the
economy, we are going to
have to let one of you go."
