Joke of the Day, Vintage Style
#641
I hope this is not a re-post. With so many jokes posted, it is hard to keep track which ones have already been told here.
I'm My Own Grandpa
Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,
My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.
Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,
Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.
Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

The Lone Ranger
The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured by an Indian war party. The Chief proclaims, "So, you are the great Lone Ranger. In honor of the Harvest Festival, you will be executed in three days. But, before I kill you, I will grant you three requests. What is your first request?"
The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse." Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger, who whispers in Silver's ear, and the horse gallops away. Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back. As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night.
The next morning the Indian Chief admits he's impressed. "You have a very fine and loyal horse, but I will still kill you in two days. What is your second request?"
The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse. Silver is brought to him and he again whispers in the horse's ear. As before, Silver takes off across the plains and disappears over the horizon. Later that evening, to the Chief's surprise, Silver again returns, this time with a voluptuous brunette, even more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night.
The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed. "You are indeed a man of talent, but I will still kill you tomorrow. What is your last request?
The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse, alone." The Chief is curious, but he agrees and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger's tent. Once they're alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says,
"Listen carefully, ya dumb horse, I said "BRING POSSE"

The father was giving advice to his son just before his marriage.
"Son," he said, "in the beginning it will be tri-weekly. After ten years it will be try weekly, and after twenty years it will be try weakly."

If you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics, this may bring a tear to your eyes.

Dear Billy,
Nice spelling. You're on your way to a career in lawn

Dear Santa,
I don't know if you can do this, but for Christmas,
I'd like for my mommy and daddy to get back together.
Please see what you can do?
Love,
Teddy
Dear Teddy,
Look, your dad's banging the babysitter like a screen
door in a hurricane. Do you think he's gonna give that
up to come back to your frigid mom, who rides his ass
constantly? It's time to give up that dream.
Let me get you some nice Legos instead.

Dear Santa,
I want a new bike, a Playstation, a train, some G.I.
Joes, a dog, a drum kit, a pony, and a tuba.

Milk gives me the runs and carrots make the deer fart

Dear Santa,
What do you do the other 364 days of the year? Are you
busy making toys?
Your friend,
Thomas
Dear Thomas,
All the toys are made in China. I have a condo in
Vegas, where I spend most of my time making low-budget
porno films. I unwind by drinking myself silly and squeezing
the asses of cocktail waitresses while losing money at
the craps table.
Hey, you wanted to know.

Mark,
First, stop calling yourself "Marky." That's why
you're getting your ass whipped at school. Second, you
don't live in a house, you live in a low-rent apartment
complex. Third, I get inside your pad just like the
boogeyman does, through your bedroom window.

An Irishman moves to the USA and finally attends his first baseball
game.
The first batter approached the batter's box, took a few swings and then
hit
a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming "RUN, RUN".
The next batter hit a single and the Irishman listened as the crowd
again
cheered "RUN, RUN".
The Irishman enjoyed the game and began screaming with the fans.
The fifth batter came up and four balls went by. The umpire called
"walk"
and the batter started his slow trot to first base. The Irishman stood
up
and screamed, "R-R-RUN ye bastard, RUN!" The people around him began
laughing. Embarrassed, the Irishman sat back down.
A friendly fan noted the man's embarrassment, leaned over and explained,
"He
can't run--he's got four balls."
The Irishman stood up, took a long breath and screamed, "Walk with
pride,
lad!"

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem.
While they were there, the Wife passed away.
The undertaker told the Husband "You can have her shipped home for $5,000,
Or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150."
The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.
The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife
Home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only
$150?"
The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days
Later he rose from the dead.
I just can't take that chance."
