Well, on with the show as they say...
...with an oldie but a goody to kick things off.
A young Irish vicar would ride his bicycle down the path between towns where he would meet an elderly priest from another parish, and they would discuss matters daily, until one day the old priest noticed the vicar walking instead of riding and asked him "What happened to your bicycle?"
The vicar explained that the bike was stolen.
"Well, then", the old priest said, "Next Sunday, do a sermon about the ten commandments and preach heavily on THOU SHALL NOT STEAL. Then you will surely get your bike back". The vicar agreed and went off.
The next week, The two met again and this time the vicar was again riding his bicycle. "See what I meant!" the Old Priest said. "The power of the Word. The Ten Commandments, and Thou Shall not steal!"
The vicar responded, "Well, not exactly, Father. I was preaching about the Ten Commandments, and I was all ready to preach heavy on 'Thou Shall Not Steal', but when I got to 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, all of a sudden I remembered where me bike was!"

You will also need to obtain a “Frog Habitat” parking permit ($10.00 per vehicle). You will also need an “Invasive Species” stamp ($15.00 for the first vehicle and $5.00 for each add’l vehicle) You will also want to register at the Check Station to have your vehicle inspected for non-native plant life prior to entering our property. There is also a Day Use fee, $5.00 per vehicle.

Not original......shamelessly copied from the internet.
The other day I went over to a nearby Wal Mart Pharmacy. When I got there, I went straight to the back of the store to where the Pharmacist's’ Counter is located. I took out my little brown bottle along with a teaspoon and laid them both onto the counter. The pharmacist came over smiled and asked if he could help me. I said, "Yes! Could you please taste this for me?" Being I'm a senior citizen...I guess the Pharmacist just went along with me. He picked up the spoon and put a tiny bit of the liquid on his tongue and swirled it around. Then with a stomach-churning look on his face he spit it out on the floor and began coughing. When he finally was finished, I looked him right in the eye asked, “Now, does that taste sweet to you?" The pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled, “HELL NO!!!" So I said, "Oh thank God! That's a real relief! My doctor told me to get a pharmacist to test my urine for sugar!" Well, I can never go back to that Wal Mart, but I really don't care though, because; they aren't very friendly there anyway!!!

There is an apocryphal medical story about Doctor's rounds at a hospital with a group of medical students in tow.
By a patient's bed was a sample bottle full of urine. Picking up the bottle, the doctor dipped a finger in it then sucked on his finger: before passing the bottle around to the class who in turn repeated the exercise.
" Anybody notice anything?" Asked the doc.
Dumb looks all round.
"Thought so". he went on ." Nobody noticed that I dipped my first finger in the urine, then sucked on my second".

Doc Hospital.
Doc doing his rounds one morning with a bunch of trainees in tow pulls a thermometer out of his inside pocket, looks quizzically at it and pronounces "Damn ! Some bum's got my biro".

One is much better advised than the other for a true reading after a curry. As one friend mentioned, his local curry house had the hottest vindaloo that he kept the toilet paper in the fridge.

The only winning side after the recent presidential candidate's debate is the Voyager deep space probe, currently still increasing its distance from Earth at 17 km/s.

A friend of mine used to work at the Central Veterinary Laboratory. She would test horses to ensure they were fit to breed; looking for traces of equine venereal disease. She told me there was a technical term for this.....they called it....
