The Mime

One day an out of work mime is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper explains to the mime that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mime accepts.

So the next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime. However, eventually the crowds tire of him and he tires of just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it.

At the end of the day the zoo keeper comes and gives the mime a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this goes on for some time, the mime keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion he slips and falls. The mime is terrified.

The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. The mime is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind. Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling, "Help, Help me!", but the lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, "Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?"

Concerned Parents

After their baby was born, the panicked father went to see the obstetrician.

"Doctor," the man said, "I don't mind telling you, but I'm a little upset because my daughter has red hair. She can't possibly be mine."

"Nonsense," the doctor said. "Even though you and your wife both have black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool."

"It isn't possible," the man insisted. "This can't be, our families on both sides had jet-black hair for generations."

"Well," said the doctor, "let me ask you this. How often do you have sex?"

The man seemed a bit ashamed. "I've been working very hard for the past year. We only made love once or twice every few months"

"Well, there you have it!" The doctor said confidently. "it's rust."

2 Cartoons Good for a Laugh

People are Entertaining

There are times when all I have to do is watch people to get my entertainment. People just do weird things, or maybe it's just weird to me.

I heard of a guy who collected the subscription cards from the insides of magazines. He'd put them in a paper bag and when the bag filled, he'd throw them away. He wondered if this seemed odd to others.... heck yeah, but still funny.

My uncle had to work out of town on a project for a week, and had to share a room with his partner for the project. They wound up being really busy and having to eat every meal at the nearby restaurant. The partner ordered the same meal every time they went there.... 15 times in a row!

I've went to a mall before just to people watch. I enjoy seeing the older couple there where you know the gentleman doesn't really want to be there, but is being dragged along for the day. You can tell by the expression on his face that he'd rather just be at home. Watching the time, and looking for something to occupy his interest.

People running are funny too. They are at so many different levels, yet I still give them credit for going out there. You have the ones that are out there for the first time (and maybe last) with brand new jogging outfits and sparkling new shoes. Maybe even the headband to complete the package. Keep those knees high!

My Grandma was adorable when she was alive. She'd nod and agree with what I was saying, even if she couldn't hear me. She'd do that for other people as well. Obviously she had trouble hearing, but she wouldn't ever ask for you to repeat it, she'd just agree. I thought it was cute, but if I was sure she would disagree I'd speak up and repeat it.

Another entertaining scene that I giggle at sometimes is people walking their dogs. You have the person yanking their dog along as the dog wants to sniff every spot within a 10 foot radius. Then you have the people being towed behind the bigger dogs, in a race to reach the freshest scent. Then of course there's the plastic baggy for cleaning up after the dog does the duty. I wouldn't say that's too entertaining, but just the fact that they'll do it.

And of course there's a lot more, but those are some things that I enjoy seeing...

People sure can be entertaining...

Fishing Trip

A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing at a big lake up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week.

This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so would you please pack me enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box. We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up.

Oh! please pack my new blue silk pajamas."

The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked.

The following weekend he comes home a little tired but otherwise looking good.

The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish?

He says, "Yes! Lots of Walleye, some Bluegill, and a few Pike. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?"

The wife replies, "I did, they were in your tacklebox........."

Silly Joke

Two Blondes were walking down the street. One noticed a compact on the sidewalk and leaned down to pick it up. She opened it, looked in the mirror and said, "Hmmm, this person looks familiar."

The second Blonde said, "Let me look!" The first Blonde handed her the compact. The second Blonde looked in the mirror and said, "You idiot, it's me!"

The Blind Passenger

This is a true story that I found quite humorous...

A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane stopped in Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind.

The man had noticed him as he walked by and could tell the gentleman was blind because his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him by name, said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?"

The blind man replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs."

All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog!

The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!
