JOKES FOR A MONDAY MORNING
Three jokes to start your week






1. An 82-year-old man went to the doctor to get a physical. The doctor cautioned him about his age and sent him home with a lecture on the proper lifestyle. A few days later,the doctor saw the man walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm.

At his follow up visit, the doctor said to the man, "You must really be doing great!"

The man replied, "Just doing what you said Doctor: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"

The Doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said you've got a heart murmur. Be careful!"


2. (This is currently my favorite joke. It's a little odd.)

Q: What did the Zen Buddhist say to the hot-dog vendor?
A: "Make me one with everything."


3. (This one is my son's favorite joke. He's told it many times)

Donald Rumsfeld gave the president his daily briefing. He concluded by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the president exclaimed. "That's terrible!"

His staff was stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the president sat, his head in his hands.

Finally, the president looked up and asked, "Just how many is a brazillion?"







We're always looking for jokes. If you have one you'd like to submit, click on the pencil at the end of this post or the e-mail link on the right. I'll give you credit if I use it during "Jokes for a Monday Morning."
