I don’t mean to brag, but I finished my 14-day diet food in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Kids today don’t know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk through nine feet of shag carpet to change the TV channel.

Ate salad for dinner. Mostly croutons and tomatoes. Really just one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Okay, fine, it was a pizza. I ATE A PIZZA, knock it off!

A Jewish grandmother was out on the beach, playing with her 6-year-old grandson, when suddenly a big wave crashed up the beach and sucked the boy out into the sea. The grandmother yelled and screamed to no avail, and then, looking up, she said, “God, if you are up there, return my grandson.” And 20 seconds later a second big wave crashed in, carrying the boy onto the sand. The woman looked at the boy, then looked up sternly. “He had a hat,” she said.

Dog walks into a Western Union office and says he wants to send a telegram. Agent grabs a pencil. Looks at the dog.

“I’m ready,” he says.

“Woof, woof….woof….woof, woof, woof…woof…woof, woof. ”

The agent looks up. “That’s nine words,” he says. “I can give you the 10th word free.”

“No thanks,” the dog says. “That would change the meaning.”
