How to be a happy man
- It’s important to have a woman, who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.
- It’s important to have a woman, who can make you laugh.
- It’s important to have a woman, whom you can trust and who doesn’t lie to you.
- It’s important to have a woman, who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.
- It’s very, very important that these four women do not know each other.
Smartest man in the world
An oldie but a goodie
A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble.
In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. Finally, the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled to the passengers that they had better jump, and bailed out.
Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining.
The doctor grabbed one and said “I’m a doctor, I save lives, so I must live,” and jumped out.
The lawyer then said, “I’m a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live.”
He also grabbed a parachute and jumped.
The priest looked at the little boy and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace.”
The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, “Not to worry, Father. The ’smartest man in the world’ just took off with my back pack.”
