Icebox
Enraged, he storms around the room, looking for her lover behind the curtains and in the closet, becoming angrier and angrier. Finally, in his frustration and fury, he lifts the icebox over his head and throws it out the window. The exertion is too much for him and he falls dead on the spot.
The scene changes to heaven, where St. Peter is greeting new arrivals. Three men appear and St. Peter asks each of them to relate how he got there. Our hero speaks first, explaining how he was CERTAIN his wife had a lover, but when he couldn't find him, he threw the icebox out the window. "I guess the exertion must have given me a heart attack."
The second guy said, "Well, now I guess I know what happened to me. I live two stories down from that guy and I was sitting on the fire escape to try to get cool - obviously the icebox must have hit me and killed me instantly."
St Peter turns to the third guy and asks him how he died. He says, "I don't know....I was just sitting in this icebox minding my own business....."
Indian
He sits down at the bar next to an Indian, and they get to talking and eventually buying each other drinks.
The Indian says - "Hey, I've got an idea. I'll tell you a riddle - if you guess it, I'll give you $50. But if you can't guess it, you give me $50." They salesman says, "You're on."
"OK. My mother had a baby. Wasn't any of my sisters and wasn't any of my brothers. Who was it?"
The salesman thinks, scratches his head, and finally says "I give up."
The Indian says, "Ha! It was me! You owe me fifty dollars."
The salesman thinks that's pretty good and he pays the Indian.
A couple weeks later, the salesman is back in his home base of Iowa City and he decides to cool off by hitting one of the bars. He gets to talking and sharing drinks with a friend. After a while, he has a bright idea and says to his friend, "Hey, I have an idea. I'll tell you a riddle and if you guess it, I'll give you fifty dollars. If you can't guess it, you give me fifty dollars."
His friend says, "OK, shoot."
The salesman says "My mother had a baby. It wasn't any of my brothers and it wasn't any of my sisters . Who was it?"
His friend thinks...and thinks. And leans this way and that, and finally says, "OK I guess I owe you fifty dollars - who was it?"
And the salesman says, "Ha! Some old Indian up in Fargo, North Dakota!"

Strange Disfiguration - "mature"
"Oh no!" the man responds, "It's actually a crazy story. During the war my vessel crashed on the shores of a remote island, and I was the only survivor. For three days I had no water or food, and I was afraid I would die. On the morning of the fourth day a beautiful mermaid swam up to the shore. She said she pitied my condition and offered to grant me three wishes. First, of course, I wished to get off the island. 'Done,' she said, 'Another ship in your fleet is on its way. You'll be rescued by tonight.' Second, I wished for water and something to eat. No sooner had I asked than it was in front of me, and I greedily ate and drank. 'What is your final wish?' the mermaid asked. Well, you have to understand, the war had been on for a while by then and it had been over a year since I'd been with a woman. So, I asked her to sleep with me. 'I'm sorry,' she said, 'we mermaids can't mate with humans because we are fish from the waist down.' 'Okay then,' I said, 'how about a little head?'"
Old Man's Garden
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over... I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love,
Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son:
Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden!! That’s where the bodies are buried!
Love,
Vinnie
Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love,Vinnie
Nursing Home
Once his son was out of sight, the old man started to tilt slowly toward the left. Just then, a doctor came by and said, "Let me help you," and piled a couple pillows on the left side of the old man so that he could stay upright.
After the doctor walked away, the old man started to tilt slowly to the right. An orderly noticed and put several more pillows on his right-hand side.
Moments later, the old man started to lean forward, but a nurse came by and piled a few more pillows in front of him.
About this time, the son returned and asked, "Well, dad, isn't this a nice place?" The old man replied, "I guess it's okay, but they won't let me fart."
Three Psychiatrists
They all agree that this is a good idea, so the first psychiatrist confesses, "I'm a compulsive shopper and deeply in debt, so I over-bill my patients as often as I can."
The second admits, "I have an opioid problem that's out of control, and I whenever I receive sample prescriptions from pharmaceutical companies, I use them up myself."
The third psychiatrist says, "I know it's wrong, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't keep a secret."
Private Jones
The Sergent assembles the company and then says "Jones, step forward."
"Jones, your father died. Fall in." "Company dismissed."
The Lieutenant's jaw drops and he immediately calls the Sargent into his office, saying "Sergent, I can't believe how you handled that! Think what terrible and shocking news that was for Jones - you just blasted him like that with no warning - that was crushing. Great Scott, man - you need to show some compassion!"
"Sargent says "Wow, you're right Lieutenant - I'm sorry. I just didn't think of it that way at all."
Tragically, two months later, a telegram arrives saying that Jones' mother has died.
The Lieutenant says, "Sarge, this is a terrible, terrible thing - but at least it gives you a chance to break it to Jones in a slower and gentler way."
The Sergent says, "Yeah, you're right, Lieutenant - thanks."
So Sergent assembles the company, and then says "All those men with one living parent, step forward....NOT SO FAST, Jones!"

I love profession jokes
They see two people walking along, who then go into a house just across the street. Time passes. After awhile they notice three persons coming out of the house.
The physicist says, "The measurement wasn't accurate."
The biologist says " No! They have reproduced".
And the mathematician says, "If now exactly one person enters the house then it will be empty again."
Firemen
The guys are getting really frustrated and then the priest sees the course manager, and shouts "Hey, Carlo, can you come here a second?"
"Carlo, these guys in front of us are infuriating - they're taking forever on each hole, hitting their balls all over the place, and they won't wave us through!"
Carlo says, "Oh, don't you know those guys? They're the three firemen who fought that fire in our clubhouse about three years ago. They were all blinded in the fire and now we always let them play for free."
The priest says, "Oh, that's terrible! I have an idea - This Sunday, I'm going to have my parish say a special Mass for them".
And the physician says "That's a great idea. And I have a friend who's a top-notch retinal surgeon - I'll have him give them a special consult to see if there's anything he can do for the."
And the engineer says, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

Engineer, Physicist, and Mathematician Fence Builders
An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are trying to set up a fenced-in area for some sheep, but they have a limited amount of building material. The engineer gets up first and makes a square fence with the material, reasoning that it's a pretty good working solution. "No no," says the physicist, "there's a better way." He takes the fence and makes a circular pen, showing how it encompasses the maximum possible space with the given material.
Then the mathematician speaks up: "No, no, there's an even better way." To the others' amusement he proceeds to construct a little tiny fence around himself, then declares: "I define myself to be on the outside."

Fred Oyster and Sam Clam
However, a couple years after Sam passed away, Fred was visited by Sam's ghost. "Fred!" Sam's ghost said. "I have something I need to show you in heaven!" Delighted to finally be reunited with his friend, Fred agreed to take trip together. Arriving at the pearly gates, Sam said, "There are just two very important things you need to know: first, since you are a visitor here, you must carry this golden harp with you at all times or you won't be allowed to return to earth, and second, you must leave heaven before midnight." "No problem!" Fred said, and the two journeyed into heaven where Fred was astounded to see a brilliant neon "DISCO" sign. "Yep!" Sam said. "We finally did it, old pal!" The two friends danced the night away, laughing and enjoying each other's company.
Just before midnight, Fred glanced at the clock, wished his friend a hearty farewell, and promised to return to the disco when his time came. Then he ran to the pearly gates, but when an angel asked him for the golden harp, Fred smacked himself on the forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, no! I left my harp in Sam Clam's Disco!"

Voodoo Pen*s - A "mature" (well, immature) joke
Well, a couple days after the man leaves, his wife becomes aroused and so she gets out the voodoo pen*s and says, "Voodoo pen*s: vag*na." After she finishes she says, "Okay, I'm done now," but the voodoo pen*s keeps hammering away. "Uh, please stop!" she says, but to no avail. She starts to become frantic and since she can't get the voodoo pen*s to cease for anything she finally decides she needs to get to a hospital. So, the woman jumps in her car but she's swerving all over the road and it's not long before a cop pulls her over. When he comes to the window she says, "OFFICER! I'm sorry! It's the voodoo pen*s!" and the cop snorts, "Voodoo pen*s MY ASS!"
- Thanks Jake!
