As a group of soldiers stood in formation at an Army Base, the Drill Sergeant said, “All right! All you idiots fall out.”
As the rest of the squad wandered away, one soldier remained at attention.
The Drill Instructor walked over until he was eye-to-eye with him, and then raised a single eyebrow. The soldier smiled and said, “Sure was a lot of ’em, huh, sir?”
A woman walks by a pet store everyday on her way to work and everyday the parrot out front calls her ugly!!
Finally she confronts the store owner about his rude parrot. He apologizes to her profusely. He then scolds the bird and promised her that it wouldn’t happen again.
Next day she walks by the store and again the parrot calls her ugly!! This time she threatens the owner with legal action. So he takes the parrot out back, shows him the dumpster and tells the parrot that if he calls her ugly one more time he’ll break his neck and throw his carcass in the bin.
The next day the lady walks by staring at the bird…. nothing!
She gets past the bird, stops and looks back. The parrot then says, “You know!”
I went to the Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions. I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented.
I said, “A folding bottle.”
She said, “Okay. What do you call it?”
“A Fottle.” I replied.
“What else do you have?” she asked.
“A folding carton.” I said.
“What do you call it?”
“A Farton.” was my reply.
She snickered and said, “Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude.”
I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket.

When the student goes to turn in his exam, the professor tells him, “l’m not going to accept this, you didn’t put your pencil down when I said to.”
“Do you have any idea who I am?” The student says, snobbily.
“I don’t have the slightest idea who you are and I don’t care,” the professor retorted.
“Good!” The student replied as he slipped his exam into the middle of the stack and walked away.

He reports to dispatch, “Suspect spotted engaging in high-profile break-dancing in the main square.”
New dispatch responds, “Copy that” … instead of the usual 10-4.
Somewhat confused, the Cop says, “I’ve had a couple lessons but I’m no way as good as him, sir.”

As I knelt down with a pair of size 4 shoes in front of this blonde in a short skirt, I couldn’t resist a quick glance at her undies:
“Hey cheeky!” she said as she gave me a playful kick, “I bet the only reason you work here is to look up girls’ skirts, isn’t it?”
“That’s an absolutely ridiculous accusation, madam.” I said sternly. “I don’t work here!”

So, I was sitting on the bus just reading a book when somebody tapped me on the shoulder.
I turned around and saw an old lady. She said to me, “Sonny, would you like some nuts? I’ve got a couple hazelnuts and almonds if you’d like.”
“Sure.” I replied. She gave me a handful of nuts and went back to sit with her friends.
“What a nice lady,” I thought, while happily munching on the nuts.
A few minutes later, I felt another tap on my shoulder and there she was again, offering some nuts. I gladly accepted and she went back to her seat.
After about 10 minutes, she tapped me on the shoulder, once again offering some nuts.
I asked her, “Why don’t you eat them yourself?”
“Because we’ve got no teeth.” she replied.
“Then why do you buy them?” I asked.
“Oh, because we just love the chocolate around them.”

I asked an employee where the cereal was, and he said, “I’ll see.” And walked off.
5 minutes later, I asked another employee about the cereal, and he too said, “I’ll see,” and walked away.
I continued on and eventually found it myself. It was in aisle C!

A family goes to the zoo
They’re excited to see all the exotic animals, birds & reptiles. The first enclosure is empty, totally deserted.
Unperturbed they carry on to the next one.. again it’s empty!
Every single enclosure, cage, and run they encounter is empty, deserted and unkempt..
Except, right beside the exit is the last one; a single small solitary cage. And in it sat a small furry creature.. a dog!
The father looked at it and it occurred to him,
“This is a shih tzu!”
