After 37 years of marriage, Jake dumped his wife for his young secretary.

His new girlfriend demanded that they live in Jake and Edith’s multi-million dollar home. Since Jake had better lawyers, he prevailed. He gave Edith, his now ex-wife, just 3 days to move out.

She spent the 1st day packing her belongings into boxes and crates.

On the 2nd day, she had two movers come and collect her things.

On the 3rd day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished, she went into each and every room and stuffed half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of all the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When Jake returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything- cleaning, mopping, and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even replaced the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked.

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

Edith called Jake and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were the sign the papers that very day. She agreed and within the hour, his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later, Jake and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home…

Including the curtain rods.

Gracie was driving down the road in her pickup truck when she spotted a blonde sitting in a canoe in the middle a corn field. She slammed on her brakes and swerved into the corn field.

Pulling up beside the blonde, she rolled down her window and shouted, “Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!?”

The blonde in the canoe looked at her, confused and said, “Well, I’m just out enjoying the sun in my canoe.”

Gracie was fuming. She yelled back, “Why are you out in the middle of the cornfield!?!”

“Well, it seemed like a great day to be in the wide open,” the blonde replied.

“You know,” Gracie said, “It’s blondes like you that give blondes like me a bad name! If I could swim, I would come out there and kick your butt!”

“An abstract noun,” the teacher said, “is something you can think of, but you can’t touch it.

 Can you give me an example of one?”

“Sure,” a teenage boy replied. “My father’s new car.”

The top toothbrush salesman at the company was asked by his boss how he managed to sell so many brushes.

He replied “It’s easy” and he pulled out his card table, setting his display of brushes on top. He told his boss, I lay the brushes out like this, and then I put out some potato chips and dip to draw in the customers.

He laid out his chips and dip. His boss said, “That’s a very innovative approach” and took one of the chips, dipped it, and stuck it in his mouth. “Yuck, this tastes terrible!” his boss yelled.

The salesman replied “IT IS! Want to buy a toothbrush?”

This man was talking to himself. “I wish I could meet some really important people before I die….”

A man walked up to him and said, “Hi, my name is Mike and I overheard you. I can help you because I know everybody on the planet who is alive today.”

“No way, you must be pulling my leg. Let’s go to Jane Hull so you can prove it to me,” said the man.

So they go to Jane Hull’s office, and when she notices Mike, they start to talk about how they were in kindergarten together.

“Okay, it could have been a coincidence that you were in kindergarten together. Let’s go talk to the president!” said the man.

“Okay for your last test, let’s go to the Pope!” said the man. So they took a jet to Rome and when they got there they went to a church were the Pope was giving a sermon. After the sermon, Mike walked up to the Pope and they shook hands and started to talk.

When Mike walked back over to the man, the man said, “You know, I had a hard time believing you even after the Pope until a guy came up to me and said, “Hey who is that standing next to Mike?!”
