Funny Poop
  • Little Johnny is taking a shower with his mother and says, "Mom, what are those things on your chest!?" Unsure of how to reply, she tells Johnny to ask his dad at breakfast tomorrow, quite certain the matter would be forgotten.
    Johnny didn't forget. The following morning he asked his father the same question. His father, always quick with the answers, says, "Why Johnny, those are balloons. When your mommy dies, we can blow them up and she'll float to heaven." Johnny thinks that's neat and asks no more questions.
    A few weeks later, Johnnys' dad comes home from work a few hours early. Johnny runs out of the house crying hysterically, "Daddy! Daddy! Mommy's dying!!"
    His father says, "Calm down son! Why do you think Mommy's dying?"
    "Uncle Harry is blowing up Mommy's balloons and she's screaming, "Oh God, I'm coming!"
  • While golfing, I accidentally overturned my golf cart. A very attractive female golfer, who lived in a villa on the golf course, heard the noise and called out, "Are you okay?"
    "I'm okay thanks," I replied as I pulled myself out of the twisted cart.
    She said, "Come up to my villa, rest a while, and I'll help you get the cart up later.
    "I noticed her silky bathrobe was partially open, revealing what appeared to be a very nice figure. "That's mighty nice of you," I answered, "but I don't think my wife would like it!"
    "Oh come on now," she insisted.
    She was so pretty, and very, very persuasive. I was weak. "Well okay," I finally agreed, "But I'm sure my wife won't like it."
    After a couple of Scotch and waters, I thanked her and said, "I feel a lot better now. But I know my wife is going to be really upset. So I'd better go now."
    "Don't be silly!" she said with a smile, letting her robe fall slightly more open. "Stay for awhile. She won't know anything. By the way, where is she?"
    I replied, "Still under the cart, I guess."
