I think the idea is that the parents thought their kid was missing and called the cops, but really the kid was just hiding in the closet, or something...
Not a great joke - definitely not funny when it has to be explained.

Is it Male or Female?
Swiss army knife: Male Even though it appears useful for a wide variety of work, it spends most of its time opening bottles.
Kidneys:Female They always go to the bathroom in pairs.
Tire:Male It goes bald and is often over-inflated.
Hot air balloon: Male To get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it . . . And, of course it’s full of hot air.
Sponges:Female They are soft and squeezable and retain water.
Web page: Female It’s always getting hit on.
Shoe:Male It’s usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out.
Copier: Female Once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. It’s an effective reproductive device when the right buttons are pressed, and it can wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pressed.
Ziploc bags: Male They hold everything in, but you can always see straight through them.
Subway: Male It uses the same old lines to pick people up.
Hammer: Male It hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
Remote control: Female It gives men pleasure; he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to press, he keeps trying.

Officer: Good evening. Can I see your driver's license? Driver: I’m afraid I don't have one. I was suspended when I got my fifth conviction fro drink driving. Officer: Oh dear. Can I see the owner's documents for this vehicle? Driver: Actually it's not my car. I stole it yesterday. Officer: The car is stolen? Driver: Yes. But actually, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting away my gun. Officer: There's a gun in the glove box? Driver: Yes sir. That's where I hid it after shot the owner and shoved her body in the trunk. Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!? Driver: Yes, sir.
When he heard this, the police officer radioed his captain for backup. In a few minutes, the car was surrounded by armed police. The captain approached the driver to try and diffuse the tense situation.
Captain: Sir, may I see your license? Driver: Sure. Here it is. Captain: Whose car is this? Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card. Captain: Would you mind just slowly opening your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in there? Driver: Of course officer, but there's no gun in here! Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in there. Driver: No problem officer, but I assure you there is nothing in the trunk!
The police captain was very confused about what had happened.
Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, that the car was stolen, that you had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk!
Driver: Really? Ain't that something? And I'll bet the lying sucker told you I was speeding, too ...

An elderly Texan called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried. The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way." A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard." He says. "She got in the back-seat by mistake." _____
BLONDE KIDNAPPER:
A blonde woman was having financial troubles so she decided to kidnap a child & demand ransom. She went to a local park, grabbed a little boy, took him behind a tree & wrote a note.
"I have kidnapped your child. I am sorry to do this, but I need the money. Leave $10,000 in a plain brown bag behind the big oak tree in the park at 7am." Signed, The Blonde
She pinned the note inside the little boy's jacket & told him to go straight home....
The next morning she returned to the park to find the $10,000 in a brown bag behind the big oak tree, just as she had instructed.. Inside the bag with the cash was the following note:
"Here is your money, I cannot believe that one Blonde would do this to another." _____
H$$L EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT:
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :
Bonus Question: Is [censored] exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, we need to know how the mass of [censored] is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into [censored] and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to [censored], it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering [censored], let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to [censored]. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to [censored]. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in [censored] to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in [censored] because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in [censored] to stay the same, the volume of [censored] has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If [censored] is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter [censored], then the temperature and pressure in [censored] will increase until all [censored] breaks loose.
2. If [censored] is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in [censored], then the temperature and pressure will drop until [censored] freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in [censored] before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that [censored] is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since [censored] has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer.
Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honour and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

Not a great joke - definitely not funny when it has to be explained. I guess it sounds better when you actually HEAR the joke. Geez, X is so freakin harsh... I forgot he was the comedian and every single joke he told made the roof fly off from laughter... **rolling eyes smiley insert**

Like them or not, here are the rules:
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down!
2. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
3. Shopping it NOT a sport. And so, we are never going to think of it that way.
4. Crying is blackmail
5. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
6. Yes or No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
7. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
8. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
9. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
10. If you think you are fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
11. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
12. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
13. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
14. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
15. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
16. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
17. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing is wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
18. If you ask a question you don't want to answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
19. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
20. Don't ask what we are thinking about, unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
21. You have enough clothes.
22. You have too many shoes.
23. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

CROCHETED DOLLS
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other, except that the little old woman had a shoe-box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe-box and took it to his wife's bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls, and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in th box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. "Honey," he said, "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."
