An old man was laying on his death bed. With only hours to live, he suddenly noticed the scent of chocolate chip cookies coming from the kitchen.
With his last bit of energy, the old man pulled himself out from his bed, across the floor to the stairs, and down the stairs to the kitchen.
There, the old man's wife was baking chocolate chip cookies. With his last ounce of energy, the old man reached for a cookie.
His wife, however, quickly smacked him across the back of his hand, and exclaimed, "Leave them alone, they're for the funeral!"
or this one:
A young man, who was also an avid golfer, found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could get in 9 holes before he had to head home. Just as he was about to tee off, an old gentleman shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the old man to join him.
To his surprise, the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit the ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time.
Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball and directly between his ball and the green.
After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot, the old man finally said, "You know, when I was your age, I'd hit the ball right over that tree."
With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the ball up, right smack into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it had originally lay.
The old man offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your age, that pine tree was only 3 feet tall."
A man is in a queue at the cinema waiting to see one of those tragi-comedy films. He notices a man infront of him who has a dog with him. The man takes his seat in the cinema and again notices the dog owner and his dog sitting in the row infront of him. Anyhow, during the film the dog laughs at the funny bits, then the dog starts crying during the sad parts and this pattern continues throughout the film.
After the film as everyone is leaving the man rushes up to the dog owner and says "...I`m astounded, during that film your dog laughed during the funny bits and cried during the sad parts."
" I`m astounded too" says the dog owner "...because it hated the book"

The bartender says "What`s with the big pause?"
The bear replies " Do you mind, I`ve had them all my life"

I want to commend colourblindchameleon for the quality and variety of his humor on this thread. He sounds like the sort of fellow who would be a good companion for a few drinks.
And...my earlier quotation of the lyrics from a song that recommended making an "ugly" woman your wife was not intended to impugn the beauty of my better half, although "she sure can cook"! The sight of my beloved's face soothes my tired eyes at the end of a hard day like nothing else. :nodsmiley
