Joke 516: Last Request

The inmate on death row was scheduled to be put to death by firing squad the follow morning. Throughout the day, the prison guards were being very nice to him. But when they asked him if he wanted something specific for his last meal, he said he didn’t want anything special. When they asked if there was something special he wanted to do, he said nothing. It went on like this all day.

Finally, when he was put before the firing squad, the guard asked if he wanted a cigarette and a blindfold.

“No,” the inmate said, “just get it over with.”

“Well, is there anything that I can do for you before you go?” said the guard. “You didn’t even want a special last meal!”

The inmate thought. “Actually,” he said, “Music is my life. One thing I would really like would be to sing my favorite song, one whole time through, with no interruptions.”

The guard nodded and told him to go ahead.

The inmate started, “One billion bottles of beer on the wall…”

Joke 515: Jittery Taxi Driver

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said, “I’m sorry but you scared the daylights out of me.”

The frightened passenger, apologized to the driver, and said he didn’t realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.

The driver replied, “No, no, I’m sorry, it’s my entire fault, today is my first day driving a cab…. I’ve been driving a hearse for the last 35 years.”

Computer Virus Creator Offered Six Figured Job in Prison

Tired of your dead end job? Looking to make six figures but don’t know how? Well, one approach might be to create China’s most destructive computer virus. That’s what this guy did and he’s already been offered jobs from 10 different companies while he’s in jail.

I guess skill does outweigh most other criteria for some jobs. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’d want to hand my computer network over to a guy who was convicted of destroying computer networks. Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds like a bad idea.

File that under two wrongs make a right?

Taco Bell Worker Victim of Python Prank

A Taco Bell worker who has a fear of snakes was handed a pyhton after handing three men their meal through the drive-thru window. No Taco Bell employees or pythons were harmed in the prank.

Another story of mean-spirited prank gone too far. Remember people, pranks should not only be fun to perform, but should be something everybody can laugh at afterwards. Granted, pythons aren’t poisonous, but throwing crap at a stranger through drive-thru window ain’t cool!

File that under drive-thru therapy now in session.

Joke 511: Prostitude or Consultant (part 2)

Are you a prostitute or a consultant:

Your friends have distanced themselves from you and you’re left hanging with only other “professionals.”

Your client pays for your hotel room plus your hourly rate.

Your client always wants to know how much you charge and what they get for the money.

Your pimp drives nice cars like Mercedes or BMWs.

Your pimp encourages drinking and you become addicted to drugs to ease the pain.

You know the pimp is charging more than you are worth but if the client is foolish enough to pay it’s not your problem.

When you leave to go see a client, you look great, but return looking like hell (compare your appearance on Monday AM to Friday PM).

You are rated on your “performance” in an excruciating ordeal.

Even though you get paid the big bucks, it’s the client who walks away smiling.

The client always thinks your “cut” of your billing rate is higher than it actually is, and in turn, expects miracles from you.

When you deduct your “take” from your billing rate, you constantly wonder if you could get a better deal with another pimp.

Everyday you wake up and tell yourself, “I’m not going to be doing this stuff the rest of my life.”
