A man walked out into the street



A man walked out into the street and managed to get a taxi just going by, what luck, he thought, as he slid into the cab.

“Perfect timing,” the cabby said. “You’re just like Bill.”

😀

“Who?” asked the man.

“Bill Smith. There’s a guy who did everything right,” the cabby said.


“Like my coming along when you needed a cab, it would have happened like that to Bill every time.”


“Nah,” the man said to the cabby. “There are always a few clouds over everybody.”


“Not Bill,” said the cabby.

😀

“He was a terrific athlete, he could have gone on the pro tour in tennis.


He could golf with the pros, he sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star.”


“Bill was really something, huh?”


“Oh, yeah,” continued the cabby.


“Bill had a memory like a trap. Could remember everybody’s birthday, he knew all about wine, which fork to eat with, he could fix anything.


“Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole neighborhood blacks out.”


“No wonder you remember him,” the man said.

“Well, I never actually met Bill,” said the cabby.


“Then how in the world do you know so much about him?”

😀

“I married his widow,” replied the cabby.

A man travels on a ship

  A man travels on a ship. 😀 Two days in, the ship encounters a storm and drowns. Hanging on weakly to a piece of the mast, he manages to survive and gets washed up on an unknown island. Only problem is, it’s so unknown that no ship ever comes near it. 10 years pass on the island, and the survivor has been alone all this time, that is until one day, he suddenly notices an unusual speck in the distance. “It’s certainly not a ship,” he thinks to himself. No ship has ever come. As the speck gets closer and closer the man starts to rule out the possibility that it’s a small boat or even a raft. Suddenly, emerging from the surf is a beautiful blonde woman wearing scuba gear and a wet suit. She approaches the man, who can’t believe his eyes. She tells him she has a boat nearby, and she just took a swim. 😀 The look of the poor man makes her feel a great wave of pity for him. “Tell me, how long has it been since you’ve had a cigarette?” she asks the man. “It’s been 10 years,” he replies....

A guy stops by a cafe for breakfast

A guy stops by a cafe for breakfast A guy stops by a cafe for breakfast.   😀 After paying the tab, he checks his pockets and leaves his tip – three pennies. As he strides toward the door, his waitress muses, only half to herself, “You know, you can tell a lot about a man by the tip he leaves.” The man turns around, curiosity getting the better of him. “Oh, really? Tell me, what does my tip say?” “Well, this penny tells me you’re a thrifty man.” 😀 Barely able to conceal his pride, the man utters, “Hmm, true enough.” “And this penny, it tells me you’re a bachelor.” Surprised at her perception, he says, “Well, that’s true, too.”   😀 “And the third penny tells me that your father was one, too.”
