SAFETY IN NUMBERS

Four rabbits are out hopping around a forest, when out of nowhere a gang of vicious wolves begins to chase them. The rabbits cower under a thick bush for refuge.

After the hungry wolves quickly surround the bush, one rabbit says to another, “OK, should we make a run for it, or wait until we outnumber them?” SUBMITTED BY BENITO F. JUAREZ

COLD COMFORT

Helen goes to a psychiatri­st and says, “Doctor, you’ve got to do something about my husband – he thinks he’s a refrigerat­or!”

“I wouldn’t worry too much about it,” the shrink replies. “Lots of people have harmless delusions. It will pass.”

“But, Doctor, you don’t understand,” Helen insists. “He sleeps with his mouth open, and the little light keeps me awake.” SUBMITTED BY JOHN R. LOPEZ JNR.

THE PLOT THICKENS

Fresh out of gift ideas, a man buys his mother-in-law a large plot in an expensive cemetery. On her next birthday he buys her nothing, so she tears into him.

“What are you complainin­g about?” he fires back. “You still haven’t used the present I gave you last year.” SUBMITTED BY L.B. WEINSTEIN

SPECIOUS

I recently visited a friend and found him stalking around with a fly swatter. When I asked him if he was getting any flies, he answered, “Yeah, three males and two females.”

Curious, I asked how he could tell the difference. He said, “Three were on a whisky bottle, and two were on the phone.”
