Received from aJokeADay.com. ? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An elderly woman had three grown-up sons who each decided to give her a special gift for her milestone birthday. The first son, who had become very successful in life, bought his mother a magnificent, spacious house. The second son, wanting to impress, gifted her a luxurious car. The third son, knowing how deeply religious his mother was, searched tirelessly for the perfect gift. After much effort, he discovered an extraordinarily rare parrot that could recite the entire Bible and interpret its prophecies. The only catch was that the bird was in Madagascar and came with an astronomical price tag. Determined to make his mother happy, the third son sold his house and car to afford the journey and purchase the parrot. Some time later, the elderly woman wrote to her sons to thank them. To her first son, she wrote: "Thank you for the beautiful house, my dear. It¡¯s truly wonderful, but it¡¯s far too big for me. I hope you won¡¯t mind, but I¡¯m planning to sell it and move into a cozy little bungalow instead." To her second son, she penned a similar note: "The car is absolutely stunning, but it¡¯s much too large for my needs. I¡¯m going to trade it in for something smaller and more practical." Finally, to her third son, she wrote: "Ah, you truly understood what means the most to me. Thank you so much for the chicken¡ªit was delicious!" ----- ?Auction JokeOne day, a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on a parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher. Finally, after he bid way more then he intended, he won the bid- the parrot was his at last! As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the auctioneer, ¡° I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out it can¡¯t talk!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± said the auctioneer, ¡°He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?¡± ----- "A Fitting Punishment" jokeMr. Jones is traveling with his wife and mother-in-law in a far east country. At a place of honor his mother-in-law makes a careless remark, which the native people take as an insult to the royal family.? Mr. Jones is dragged off to court with his wife and mother-in-law and are sentenced to corporal punishment. Each of them are to receive 50 lashes on the rear end with a cane. But because the royal family doesn't want to appear hostile to foreigners, they grant the guests in their country a wish beforehand, as long as it is able to be fulfilled.? Mrs. Jones is first. "What do you wish for yourself?" "I would like a pillow bound on my rear end before the lashings." ?"Okay, that shall be granted to you." Mrs. Jones has the pillow bound to her rear end and receives her punishment. But because the pillow is too small and the executioner also hits her back a couple of times, she receives a few blows. ?Next it is Mr. Jones' mother-in-law's turn. "What do you wish for yourself?" "I would like a pillow bound on my rear end and a pillow bound on my back before the lashings."? "Okay, that shall be granted to you." The mother-in-law receives her fifty lashes, but hardly feels the pain through the pillows.? Then comes Mr. Jones himself. "What do you wish for yourself?"? "I have two wishes. Do you want to fulfill them for me?" "Because you are a guest in our country, we want to fulfill your wishes for you, as long as they are reasonable."? "I would like 100 lashes instead of 50."? The executioner is surprised, but recovers again right away and replies, "Yes, that is a pious wish, it shall be granted to you. And what is your second wish?"? "I would like to have my mother-in-law bound to my back." ----- In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves." The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a female brain, and $200 for a male brain." The moment turned awkward. Women in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the men, but some actually smirked. A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the female brain so much more?" The doctor explained, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the male brains, because they've actually been used." ----- More Jokes from ArcaMax.com----- Received from ArcaMax Jokes. ? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DOCTOR, DOCTOR ...

The executioner is surprised, but recovers again right away and replies, "Yes, that is a pious wish, it shall be granted to you. And what is your second wish?"? "I would like to have my mother-in-law bound to my back." ----- In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves." The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a female brain, and $200 for a male brain." The moment turned awkward. Women in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the men, but some actually smirked. A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the female brain so much more?" The doctor explained, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the male brains, because they've actually been used." ----- More Jokes from ArcaMax.com----- Received from ArcaMax Jokes. ? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DOCTOR, DOCTOR ...
