Three Wives

Three women were sitting around talking about their husbands' performance as a lover.

The first woman says "My Husband works as a marriage counselor. He buys me flowers and candy before we make love. I like that."

The second woman says, "My husband is a motorcycle mechanic. He likes to play rough and slaps me around sometimes. I kinda like that."

The third woman just shakes her head and says, "My husband works for Microsoft. He just sits on the edge of the bed and tells me how great it's going to be when I get it."

Jeff Wysaski of Pleated-Jeans went to the grocery store to shop for puns. He found plenty, although the quality of the wares varies widely. Buyer beware!

Something came along that makes me think that sticking with mental_floss so long might not be a bad idea after all. Two former mental_floss writers have books at the top of the NYT Bestseller list. And they are friends. John Green made this video about it. Read more here.

The Flasher

Three older ladies named Rose, Gertrude and Mildred were sitting on a park bench having a quiet conversation when a flasher approached from across the parking lot. The flasher came up to the ladies, stood right in front of them and opened his trench coat.

Rose immediately had a stroke. Then Gertrude also had a stroke.

But Mildred, being older and more feeble, couldn't reach that far.

Old Flame

I received a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend who, this morning, called 'out-of-the-blue' to see if I was still around.

We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic times we used to enjoy together.

I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in meeting up and rekindling a little of that 'old magic'.

'Wow!' I was flabbergasted.

'I don't know if I could keep pace with you now', I said, 'I'm a bit older and a bit grayer and balder than when you last saw me. Plus I don't really have the energy I used to have.'

She just giggled and said she was sure I would 'rise to the challenge'.

'Yeah.' I said. 'Just so long as you don't mind a waistline that's a few inches wider these days! Not to mention my total lack of muscle tone...everything is sagging, my teeth are a bit yellowed and I am developing jowls like a Great Dane!'

She laughed and told me to stop being so silly.

She teased me saying that tubby, gray haired, older men were cute, and she was sure I would still be a great lover.

Anyway, she giggled and said, 'I've put on a few pounds myself!'

So I told her to f*@k off.

(Thanks, Duke!)

Challenge Accepted: 8 Inspiring Stories

Some people live their lives by making the best of what they have. And then there are people who even make the best of what they don’t have. After all, you just don’t tell some people, “You can’t do that.” Because they will prove you wrong. Read about eight such people who overcame what many would call disabilities in the latest list of a continuing series I posted at mental_floss.

Sisyphus Gets a Snowthrower

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was compelled to roll a boulder up a hill and watch it roll back down, so he could start his task all over again. The YouTube description (in Polish) says this guy kept it up for an hour and a half. You have to wonder if anyone ever explained to him that you could aim the snow out to the side.
