Just Joking:

Nickel Johnny:

There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn’t know what Johnny’s problem was, but the boys would constantly tease him.
They would always comment that he was two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and John would always take the nickel - they said, because it was bigger.

One day after John grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him aside and said, “Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don’t know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it’s bigger, or what?”

Very Angry Wife:

A man left for work one Friday afternoon, but since it was payday, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire paycheck instead of just going straight home. When he finally appeared at home on Sunday night, he was confronted by a very angry wife and a two-hour tirade befitting his actions. Finally his wife stopped the nagging and simply asked, “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?”

The man replied, “That would be fine with me.”

Monday went by and he didn’t see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. Come Thursday, the swelling went down just enough that he could see her a little bit out of the corner of his left eye.

$500 Porsche :

A man was reading the paper when an ad caught his eye. It loudly announced, “$500 Porsche! New!” The man thought that it was very unusual to sell a Porsche for $500, and he thought it might be a joke, but he said to himself, ‘it’s worth a shot.’

So he went to the lady’s house who was selling the Porsche and she led him into the garage. Sure enough, there was an almost brand new Porsche.

“Wow!” the man said, “Can I take it for a test drive?”

“Sure,” answered the lady. Unlike what he expected, the man found that the car ran perfectly.

When he got back to the lady’s house, he asked her, “Why are you selling me this great Porsche for only $500?”
