    Certain jokes have pedigrees, and this one probably dates back to the first traffic accidents…which could have been between chariots.

    A doctor and a lawyer run into each other quite literally; their cars collide at an intersection. Both are considerably shaken up. “I could use a sedative right about now,” the M.D. opined.

    “I have just the thing for you, good Sir,” the lawyer says, pulling a flask from his glove compartment and handing it over.

    The doctor takes a couple of healthy swigs before he remembers his manners. “Good heavens, I’ve had more than my share – here; you must need some of this, too.”

    “No, thank you. I’ll just sit here quietly, waiting for the police to arrive…”

    OK, jokesters……What’s the difference between ignorance & apathy? I don’t know & I don’t care. (rimshot)

    When the ice chunk crashed through the Boychucks’ roof, it wasn’t really in their bedroom between their sides of the bed, was it?

    Was that a chunk of blue ice? Maybe it’s just that someone flushed at 40,000 feet…….

    There have been reports of smaller chunks of ice falling from the sky onto people’s lawns. When some of them were picked up, it was realized they were from a leaking sewage tank from a passing aircraft.

    Whats so incredible about a dog barking and getting people up when there is a fire. Most dog owners who have had a fire have seen that in their own lives. Now when i was growing up out in the country we had a watchdog which we kept tied up much of the time. He liked chasing the livestock too much to be free range. His chain was about 40 feet long and we let him off regularly for runs. This one night he started barking. we went to see what was wrong only to see him taking off down the road dragging about 30 feet of chain. He raced over to a neighbors property, about a 1/4 mile away and chased a burglar from their tool shed. I would not have wanted to be the burglar seeing this huge dog dragging 30 feet of chain coming for me and I suspect there was an unwitnessed record for the 250 metre dash while he got to wherever he had left his vehicle.

    I wonder how researchers determined there was an eagle shark, since it didn’t have a skeleton made of bone? The skeletal structures of sharks today is made of cartilage and it wouldn’t be different among past species of sharks. The only thing that remains of sharks are its teeth.

    What’s the difference between naivety and stupidity? There is a cure for stupidity. It is called death.

    Sharks were evolution’s laboratory 200 – 50 million years ago.

    If the dog had placed the call to 911 himself, I’d be impressed.

    Can a creature be simultaneously derpy and majestic? The eagle shark might qualify.

    It’s always amazed me that dogs warn others of a fire.
