Belly laugh, hold the schadenfreude...(possible keyboard alert)
Sometimes you need a good honest laugh with no irony or anything else...
but because something's just plain funny.
Was cleaning off some discs and found these that I'd saved from emails so thought I'd share them. :hi:

*******
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow-job?" I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word... he knew better.
*******

I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."
*******

My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically, the boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. This my sister has never let me forget.
*******

While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!" The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me were screams of laughter.
*******
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No." I kept thinking, "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me." Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?" "No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled. "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!" While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing! He calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!
*******

This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any ...a true story. We had a female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?" Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!
*******

Hope you enjoyed them! :rofl:

7. My sister pulled a good one..
She walked into a gardening store looking for a Clivia and promptly asked the sales clerk if she had a clitoris. After the woman said "um do you mean a clivia?" my sister just walked out the door, got into her car and left!

14. Thanks- I can see them happening
Was helping run a big fundraiser a few weeks ago and we were SO successful, the place was SO packed that people could not hear their doorprize numbers being called and I eneded up with a big handful of gift certificates to local businesses that no one ever claimed. I walked up to a group of guys and in an effort to give away a gift certificate from a local auto place I asked excitedly, "Who needs thier oil changed ?!"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Doesn't help that I am blond.

Thanks for the laugh!!

16. when my family own a hardware and industrial supply store . . .
back in the 60's, we started every morning by servicing the contractors and tradespersons who would stop by for the supplies they needed that day . . . we'd provide coffee and donuts, and for an hour or so it was a regular workingman's convention right in our store . . .

on one particular day, a lady from the neighborhood stopped in early because one of the nuts that held the wheels on her baby carriage was missing . . . ignoring all of the tradesmen, she shouted out to my dad "Excuse me, do you have brass nuts?" . . .

let me tell you, they never let him forget it . . . :)
