A husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop, with them are their 8
children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes. When the bus
arrives, they find it overloaded and only the wife and her 8 children
are able to fit in the bus. So the husband and the blind man decide to
walk. After a while the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the
stick of the blind man and says to him, "Why don't you put a piece of
rubber at the end of your stick, that ticking sound is driving me crazy!"
The blind man replies, "If you would have put a rubber on the end of YOUR stick, we'd be sitting in the bus right now, so shut up.

Elderly gentleman of 85 feared his wife was getting hard of hearing.
So one day he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing checked. The Doctor made an appointment for a hearing test in two weeks, and meanwhile there's a simple informal test the husband could do to give the doctor some idea of the state of her problem.
'Here's what you do," said the doctor, "start out about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you.
If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."
That evening, the wife is in the kombuis cooking dinner, and he's in the living room. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens."
Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for supper?" No response. So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for supper?" Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for supper?" Again he gets no response. So he walks up to the kombuis door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?" Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for supper?"
"Damn it Earl, for the fifth time, CHICKEN!"

Some friends were playing poker one evening. John accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick them up, he noticed Bill's wife, Sue, sitting with her legs apart and she wasn't wearing any nickers under her dress! !
Shocked by this, John upon trying to sit back up again, hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced. Later, John went to the kombuis to get some refreshments. Bill's wife followed and asked, "Did you see anything that you liked under there?"
Surprised by her boldness, John courageously admitted that, well indeed he did.
She said, " Well, you can have it but it will cost you R500."
After taking a minute or two to assess the financial and moral costs of this offer, John confirms that he is really interested. She tells him that since her husband Bill works Friday afternoons and as John doesn't, he should be at her house around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon.
When Friday rolled around, John showed up at Bill's house at 2 p.m. sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of R500, they went to the bedroom and closed their transaction, as agreed.
John then quickly dressed and left.
As usual, Bill came home from work at 6 p.m. and upon entering the house, asked his wife abruptly. "Did John come by the house this afternoon?"
With a lump in her throat Sue answered "Why yes, he did stop by for a few minutes this afternoon."
Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband curtly asked, "And did he give you R500?"
In terror she assumed that somehow he had found out and after mustering her best poker face, replied, "Well, yes, in fact he did give me R500".
Bill, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying, "Good, I was hoping he did. John came by the office this morning and borrowed R500 from me. He promised me he'd stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back."
