Mum's in group therapy !!!!!



Mums in group therapy

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young 
Mothers and their small children.

You all have obsessions,' he observed.

To the first mother, Mary, he said, 'You are obsessed with eating.
You've even named your daughter Candy.'

He turned to the second Mom, Ann: 'Your obsession is with money.
Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny.'

He turned to the third Mom, Kathy: 'Your obsession is alcohol.
This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy.'

At this point, the fourth mother, Joyce, quietly got up, took her little boy 
by the hand and whispered,
'Come on Dick, this guy has no idea what he's talking about. Lets pick Willy 
up from school and go home.

 

THE LOVING HUSBAND




THE LOVING HUSBAND

A man had two of the best tickets for the FA Cup Final. As he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.
"No", he says, "the seat is empty."
"This is incredible!" said the man, "who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the FA Cup Final, the biggest sporting event of the year, and not use it?"
He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed to come with me, but she passed away. This is the first Cup Final we haven't been to together since we got married."
"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. I guess you couldn't find someone else, a friend or relative or even a neighbour to take the seat?"
 
The man shakes his head... "No. They're all at the funeral."

Here is a joke I consider a true female joke. 

I offer it to you in the hopes 
that women will love it and men will pass it along to a woman who will love it! 


A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when  Steven, a tall, exceptionally handsome, extremely sexy, middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. 



This seasoned yet playful heartthrob noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As any man would.) Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for £10.00... 

  on one condition..." 


Flabbergasted but intrigued, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." 



The woman considered his proposition for a moment, and then slowly removed £10 from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply and passionately into his eyes, barely concealing her anticipation and excitement, and slowly and meaningfully said....

"Clean my house."










Fwd: THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU



As a bagpiper, I was asked by a funeral director to play at a grave-side
service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.  As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a typical man did not stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late.. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who were
eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight.

I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of
the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the
workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing
to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I
played out my heart and soul.

As I played the workers began to weep. I played, and I played, like I'd
never played before..... from Going Home & The Lord is my Shepherd to Flowers of the Forest . I closed the lengthy session with Amazing Grace and walked to my car..

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, "Sweet Jeezuz, Mary'n Joseph, I never seen nothin' like that before - and I've been putting in septic tanks for
twenty years."



The Rabbi is leaving...



At the regular Saturday morning service the rabbi announced that he was planning to leave for a larger congregation that would pay him more. 
There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave because he is so popular.
Fred Shapiro, who owns several car dealerships in  Newton  and  Brookline , stands up and proclaims "If the rabbi stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every year and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their children!"
 
  The congregation sighs in appreciation and applauds.  Saul Cohen, a successful businessman and lawyer, stands and says, "If the rabbi will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary and establish a foundation to guarantee a free college education for his children!"
 

More sighs and loud applause.  Estelle Rubin, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the rabbi stays, I will give him sex!"

There is total silence. The rabbi, blushing, asks her "Mrs. Rubin, you're a wonderful and holy lady, whatever possessed you to say that?"


Estelle's 90-year old husband, Abe, is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand and shaking his head from side to side, while his wife replies:  "Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said, "Fuck him".


Son in Law

 

 

As a woman passed her daughter's closed bedroom door, she heard a strange buzzing noise coming from within. Opening the door, she observed her daughter with a vibrator.

Shocked, she asked: 'what in the world are you doing?'

The daughter replied: 'mom, I'm thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I'll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.'

The next day, the girl's father heard the same buzz coming from the other side of the closed bedroom door. Upon entering the room, he observed his daughter making passionate love to her vibrator.

To his query as to what she was doing, the daughter said: 'dad I'm thirty-five, unmarried, and this
thing is about as close as I'll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.'

A couple days later, the wife came home from a shopping trip, placed the groceries on the kitchen counter, and heard that buzzing noise coming from, of all places, the living room. She entered that area and observed her husband sitting on the couch, downing a cold beer, and staring at the TV.

The vibrator was next to him on the couch, buzzing like crazy.

The wife asked: 'What the f@!* are you doing?'

The husband replied: 'I'm watching football with my son-in-law.

 

Two Nuns


.Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, and the last  instruction of the Mother Superior is that they must not get even one drop of paint on their habits.


After conferring about this for a while, the two nuns decide to lock the door of the room, strip off their  habits, and paint in the nude. In the middle of the project, there comes a knock at the door . 
"Who is it?", calls one of the nuns.
 
 


"The Blind man," replies a voice from the other side of the door.
 
The two  nuns look at each other and shrug, and deciding that no harm can  come from  letting a blind man into the room, they open the door.


"Nice  tits.." says the man, "Where do you want the blinds?"

FUNNY


A man boarded an aircraft at London 's Heathrow airport for New York and taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a very beautiful woman boarding the plane. He realised she was heading straight toward his seat and bingo, she took the seat right beside him.

"Hello", he blurted out, "Business trip or vacation?"

She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, "Business. I'm going to the annual nymphomaniac convention in the United States ."

He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs!

Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?" "Lecturer," she responded."I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality..."

"Really", he smiled, "what myths are those?"

"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Greek descent. We have also found that the best potential lovers in all categories are the Irish."

Suddenly the woman became uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," She said. "I really shouldn't be discussing this with you, I don't even know your name!"

"Tonto," the man said. "Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me Paddy."

Irishman



Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night celebrating St Patrick's Day. 
  
Mick, the bartender says, 'You'll not be drinking anymore tonight, Paddy?. 
  
Paddy replies, 'OK Mick, I'll be on my way  then?. 
  
Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off... He falls flat on his face. 
  
'Shoite' he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face,
  
'Shoite, 
  
Shoite !' 
 
He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some fresh air he'll be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better and takes a step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat on his face. 
  
'Bi'Jesus.... I'm fockin' focked,' he says. 
 
He can see his house just a few doors down, and crawls to the door, hauls himself up the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside.  
  
He takes a look up the stairs and says 'No fockin' way'. 
  
He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says 'I can make it to the bed'. He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face. He says 'Fock it' and falls into bed. 
  
The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room carrying a cup of coffee and says, 'Get up Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink last night ?' 
 
Paddy says, 'I did, Jess. I was fockin' pissed. But how'd you know?'  
  
'Mick phoned . . . you left your wheelchair at the pub.'

The Moral Of The Story



 
A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment: To get their parent to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

 

The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.

 

Ashley said, 'My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs got broken.'

 

'What's the morale of that story?' asked the teacher.

 

'Don't put all your eggs in one basket!'

 

'Very good,' said the teacher.

 

Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, 'Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. One day we had a dozen eggs, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.'

 

'That was a fine story Sarah.'

 

Michael, do you have a story to share?'

 

'Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Claire. Aunty Claire was a flight engineer on a plane in the Gulf War and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whisky, a machine gun and a machete.

 

She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets. Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. And then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.'

 

Good heavens,' said the horrified teacher, 'what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?'

 

'Stay way from Aunty Claire when she's been drinking.'
