1. Daily Joke: It was Harry’s last day of work

It was Harry’s last day of work before retirement. His boss wanted to give a speech thanking him for his many years of service.

“Harry is a man who doesn’t know the meaning of impossible task, who doesn’t know the meaning of lunch break, who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word no,” he exclaimed. “So we’ve clubbed together and bought him a dictionary.”

2. Daily Joke: An elderly man had dinner at a very nice restaurant

An elderly man had dinner at a very nice restaurant. After he finished his wine, he went to the men’s room, then walked out through the bar.

It was a beautiful evening, so he decided to leave his car in the parking lot and walk home.

When he arrived at his front door, he realised he didn’t have his keys. He finally figured they must be in his jacket pocket, which was still hanging in the restroom. He walked back to the restaurant, found his jacket in the men’s room, and realised he’d left his hat on the table.

He strolled back to the dining room to retrieve his hat, and when he got to his table, his wife asked: “Is anything wrong? You took such a long time in there.”

3. Daily Joke: An old woman called the hospital

A grandmother telephoned St Joseph’s Hospital and she timidly asked: “Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?”

The operator responded: “I’ll be glad to help, dear. What’s the patient’s name and room number?”

The grandmother in her weak tremulous voice said: “Norma Findlay, Room 302.”

The operator replied: “Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse.”

After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone: “Oh, good news. Her nurse has told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal. And her physician, Dr Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged Tuesday.”

The grandmother said: “Thank you. That’s wonderful. I was so worried! God bless you for the good news.”

The operator replied: “You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?”

The grandmother said: “No, I’m Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me anything.”

4. Daily Joke: A wife caught her husband gazing down at their baby

Observing the baby one night, a wife found her husband standing over their baby’s crib. Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions; disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment, scepticism.

Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, she slipped her arm around her husband. “A penny for your thoughts,” she said.

“It’s amazing!” he replied. “I just can’t see how anybody can make a crib like that for only $46.50.”

5. Daily Joke: Four women finished their game of golf

After a round of golf, four older ladies sat around the club house chatting. After noticing them, a regular golf pro approached them and asked: “How did your game go?”

The first lady said she had a good round and made the comment that she actually had 25 riders. The pro was a bit perplexed not knowing what a “rider” was.

The second quickly chimed in and said that she had a very good round as well with 16 riders.

The third lady then said that her round was average and that she only had 10 riders.

While the fourth lady admitted that she played the worst round of the day and that she only had 2 riders all day long.

The pro was completely confused not knowing what the term “rider” meant. But, because he didn’t want to look dumb, he made a quick polite remark, wished the ladies well and then left.

He then approached the bartender and asked: “Hey, can you tell me what these ladies are talking about when they refer to ‘riders’?”

The bartender simply smiled and said: “A ‘rider” is when you hit a shot long enough to ride on the golf cart to your ball.”
