Subject: One of the funniest things you've ever heard.
Written By: Neo Matrix on 04/22/04 at 10:08 am
Say what you heard!
Mine is:
"Why do people always say something is always in the last place you look? Of course it is! Who really keeps on looking after they found what they were looking for?"

Here's some of the dumbest/funniest things people have said to me:
- "Why don't you close your eyes when they pray?"
- "Ummm!!! What were you doing outside with the doors locked?!"
- "PLEASE let me come over! I swear to GOD I won't touch you! I mean...come on, girl, you know I'm Catholic, right?"
Then there's our little ray of sunshine in choir:
- "Do you still want us to sing in our head voice?" (Why would you NOT sing in head voice in a choir?)
- "Do you still want us to sing with an open vowel?" (Why would you sing with your mouth practically closed?)
- "What time is this in?" (Can you count? What are you doing in music?!!)
- "Do you want us to hum using our nose or our throat?" (??? What the hell kinda question is that?!!!)

Ok here's one:
I called my guy the other night, but nobody answered and I didn't leave a message. A few minutes later his roommate called and said "WHO IS THIS?!!!" and I said "This is Ruth." He goes, "Oh..ok...well is Bill there?"
I don't understand! I told him who it was. Why would he think that his friend Bill, whom I have never met, is where I am?" IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! (But his stupidity is pretty funny huh?)

I knew this guy who once went into a pizza place and ordered a large pizza. He was asked if he wanted that cut into 6 pieces or 8. After thinking for a few seconds, he reponded, "6. I don't think I could eat 8."

When my cousin was looking after her father's chemist's shop, a man came in and asked (rather embarassed) for a packet of condoms... wondering whether he wanted a pack of three or twelve, she asked "Large or small?"... said potential customer turns even redder and leaves
But my favourite memory of my uncle (who died a few years back) is when he told me that in the second verse of "Jack and Jill":
Up Jack got and home did trot
As fast as he could caper
Went to bed to mend his head
With vinegar and brown paper
..."vinegar and brown paper" was the old wives' remedy for syphilis - which puts a different complexion on the whole nursery rhyme, don't you think?

Actually, the one I've heard was even better (well, I think so):
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Smokin' a little grass
Jack got high, unzipped his fly
And poked Jill in the *** ;D
Here's a little story about an uncle of mine that my dad told me:
Well, you see, he had prosthetic legs and one day he was driving down the road and got in a little fender-bender. But his fake feet got stuck under the pedals and he couldn't move them. So he just took his legs off and got out of the car and went to the side of the road. Apparently when the cop showed up, he took one look at this guy in the grass with his legs missing and he passed out. ;D LOL!

Since I saw a couple of little Jack and Jill spinoffs, I'll put down my poem! Ok, its really my dads poem, but I went out of my way to memorize it! When I was younger I used to love this thing!! He used to tell it when friends of my parents came over and they were having a few drinks. Here it goes:
The sun was shining brightly
And I could hardly wait
To ponder out my window
and gaze at my estate
The wind was blowing briskly
The flowers they did sway
My garden was enchanting
On this inspiring day
I saw a little birdie
With a yellow bill
And beckoned him to light
Upon my windowsill
I teased him a little closer
With a crust of bread
Then quickly shut the window
And crushed his f****** head.
Remember its not my poem, its my dads!! Don't hate me!! I think its pretty funny! The ultimate poem for passive aggressive people!!

I don't know if this is a famous poem or not, but a friend of mine used to say it all the time. It is the last line he added that cracked me up...
Fishy fishy in the brook
Daddy catch him with a hook
Mommy fry him in the pan
And baby eat him like a man...
Die you little fishy b@ssturd...

Ah, but one of the funniest things I've heard recently comes from a little documentary type thing I have on Ultravox. (Ha ha ha...bet you didn't see that coming, did you!) ;) When talking about Midge Ure having joined the band, the presenter/voiceover said:
"With Ure in, chart success was a piece of p*ss."

I had this friend who got a very strange voice message on her machine from an old man that spoke with a twang: "Alright, this is Crown Prince William the Third of Germany. If you do not direct this call I will go directly to the World Court in Hague. I need to speak to (?) about an emergency situation. I've already told the people in Germany," then he gave out his number (in his Southern drawl), which was only 10 digits. It was so bizarre that I was doubled over with laughter. She never heard from him again.

I just heard "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron" by the Royal Guardsman on the radio, and it reminded me of another one of "children's greatest hits:"

Grandma cut another and killed the rest.

Apart from the first line I didn't recognise that song. However it bugged me all day because there was a silly version we used to sing and I couldn't remember it.
This morning I remembered! It's about Frank Spencer and his wife (if anyone recalls that show)
10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more
Frank got Betty down on the floor
He kissed her once, he kissed her twice
He kissed her again and said "ooh nice"

Not sure it comes into the funniest I've ever heard but it made me laugh.
Last night my daughter was walking towards me singing a song. I only caught part of the verse at first which was (as I heard it) "pornos, pornos, I've got nothing for my pornos"
Turns out it was a song about wearing coat/hat/gloves/whatever to keep you warm and dry but you haven't got anything for your "poor nose"

Recently while out running errands for the day,we stopped for gas at one of our local mini-marts (think 7-11, Cumberland Farms, Hess,Kangaroo Express, WaWa). While inside , i decided that being famished, i would grab one of their ready to go hotdogs.Looking at the choices , i was unable to find any plain old dogs, they were all labled, HOT,SUPER Spicey HOT, etc. I walked up to the cashier and asked if she had any regular,plain old hotdogs. She tipped her head and looked at me like i was speaking pig-latin, so, I went on explaining that all those out were labld hot. She tipped her head further,wrinkled her nosee, and replied,"OH, no, we're not allowed to sell them cold"
I just turned and walked back out amazed that she could even hold a job beyond babysitting her classmates dolls.

Speaking of the Simpsons, I always think it's funny when Bart crank-calls Moe's Tavern, asking for people with "gag" names (unbeknownst to Moe, the name is a gag name, or double entendre, which Bart hides by saying the last name first when he tells Moe whom he's calling for). :D (The joke is revealed when Moe calls the full name aloud, saying the first name (or initials) first, and the last name last, such as "Ben Dover".)
