-

Two windmills are standing in a field.

One asks the other, “What kind of music do you like?”

The other one says, “I’m a big metal fan.”

Eye-popping

A guy is dining alone in a fancy restaurant, and there’s a beautiful redhead sitting at the next table. He’s been sneakily checking her out ever since he arrived but doesn’t have the courage to start talking to her.

Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. Reflexivel­y, he reaches out, plucks it out of the air and hands it back to her.

The redhead is mortified. “Oh my, I am so sorry,” she says, popping her eye back into place. “Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you.”

So he joins her table and they enjoy a wonderful meal together. Afterward they go to the theater followed by drinks at a bar. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his.

After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap. He says yes, and they return to her place.

He ends up staying the night. The next morning, she cooks a gourmet breakfast. The guy is amazed at how everything has been so perfect and how incredible this woman is. He can’t believe his luck.

“You know,” he says, “you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?”

“No,” she replies, “You just happened to catch my eye.”

Deep hole

Two guys are walking through the woods one day when they stumble across a big deep hole.

The first guy peers Lisa Denton into it and says, “Wow! That looks deep.”

The second guy says, “It sure does. Let’s throw a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is. We’ll be able to tell the depth by how long it is before we hear the noise of the pebbles landing.”

So they pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait. Nothing. There’s no noise.

The first guy says, “Golly, that is really deep. Let’s throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise.”

So they pick up a couple football-size rocks and toss them into the hole and wait … and wait … Again, nothing.

They look at each other in amazement. Then the first guy gets a determined look on his face and says, “Hey, over here in the weeds, there’s a railroad tie. Help me carry it over. When we toss that sucker in, it’s gotta make some noise.”

So the two of them drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Once again, not a sound comes from the hole.

Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole.

The two men are astonished with what they’ve just seen and look at each other in amazement.

Then out of the woods comes a farmer, who spots the men and ambles over. He asks them, “Hey, you two guys seen my goat out here?”

The first guy says, “You bet we did! Craziest thing I ever saw. It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole and disappeare­d!”

“Nah,” says the farmer, “That couldn’t have been my goat. My goat was chained to a railroad tie.”
