The Lighter Side of Life
A Pirates Misfortune
A pirate was talking to a "landlubber" in a bar. The landlubber noticed that, like any self-respecting pirate, this guy had a peg leg, a hook in place of one of his hands, and a patch over one eye. The landlubber just had to find out how the pirate got in such bad shape.
He asked the pirate, "How did you lose your leg?"
The pirate responded, "I lost me leg in a battle off the coast of Jamaica!"
His new acquaintance was still curious so he asked, "What about your hand. Did you lose it at the same time?"
"No," answered the pirate. "I lost it to the sharks off the Florida Keys."
Finally, the landlubber asked, "I notice you also have an eye patch. How did you lose your eye?"
The pirate answered, "I was sleeping on a beach when a seagull flew over and pooped right in me eye."
The landlubber asked: "How could a little seagull poop make you lose your eye?"
The pirate snapped, "It was the day after I got me hook!"

It’s Elementary
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see"
"I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes," replies Watson
"And what do you deduce from that?"
Watson ponders for a minute
"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three"
"Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes? "
Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says. "Someone has stolen our tent! "

One Good Man
A woman rubbed a brass pitcher and out popped a genie. The amazed woman asked if she got three wishes. The genie said, "Nope, sorry. Three-wish genies are a storybook myth. I'm a one-wish genie. So, what'll it be?"
The woman did not hesitate. She said, "I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other and I want all the Arabs to love the Jews and Americans and vice-versa. It will bring about world peace and harmony"
The genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Lady, be reasonable. These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm out of shape after being in a bottle for five hundred years. I'm good, but not THAT good! I don't think it can be done. Make another wish and please be reasonable"
The woman thought for a minute and said, "Well, I've never been able to find the right man. You know... one that's considerate, fun, romantic, likes to cook, helps with the house cleaning, is good in bed, gets along with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful. That is what I wish for... one good man"
The genie let out a sigh, rolled his eyes, and said... "Let me see the darn map again!"

The 82 year old, sitting at the kitchen table, thought she'd better knock on wood, and as she knocked twice on the kitchen table she said, "I hope I never get as forgetful as my sisters"
"Now, was that the front door or the back door?"
