Hair line

From Leland Parrott:

A man was going bald and told his friends he was going to get a rabbit tattooed on his head as it was a lot cheaper than an implant or a toupee.

His friends asked how getting a rabbit tattooed on his head would help?

The man replied, “Well, at least from a distance it will look like hare.”

Bark it out

A dog walked in to the telegram office one day. He took out a blank form and wrote on it:

“Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”

Then he handed it to the clerk. The clerk examined the paper and said to the dog, “You know there are only nine words here? You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”

The dog replied, “But that would make no sense at all!”

Quickies

About a month before he died, my uncle had his back covered in lard. After that, he went downhill fast.

I accidental­ly sent my friend flowers over the internet. Whoops, e-daisies.

I used to be a member of a secret cooking society. They kicked me out for spilling the beans.

The dummy on the treadmill at the gym? He just put a water bottle in the Pringles holder.

I like jokes, but jokes about air conditione­rs? Not a fan.

The doctor told me my voice box is damaged and I may never speak again. I can’t tell you how upset I am.

My mother used to say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. She’s a lovely woman. But a useless surgeon.

I’m addicted to seaweed. I must seek kelp.

They say childbirth is the most painful thing someone can experience. Maybe I was too young remember, but I don’t think it hurt that much.

My neighbor blamed my gravel for making him fall. But it was his dumb asphalt.
