### A woman and her young son were shopping at the grocery, when the boy accidentally swallowed a quater. The child began to choke, but a man quickly stepped up, grabbed the boy by the testicles and squeezed them hard, and the coin popped out of the child’s mouth. “Oh, my goodness, thank you,” said the mother, “I’ve never seen anything like that. Are you a doctor?” “No, ma’am,” he replied, “I’m a divorce lawyer.” * * * ### A man is in a pub, talking enthusiastically and at length about his hobby, skydiving. He turns to a woman sitting close to him and asks, “Have you ever tried skydiving?” “Only once,” she replies. “Never again.” The man then realizes that she’s blind. “Oh, I’m sorry,” he says, somewhat ill at ease, “does it have to do with your, uhm, condition?” “Yes,” she states, matter-of-factly. “Was there an accident?” the man inquires, hoping he’s not overstepping his bounds. “It got very close to one,” she replies. “You see, it really freaked out the dog.” * * * ### A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, “What are the grounds for your divorce?” She replied, “About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by.” “No,” he said, “I mean what is the foundation of this case?” “It is made of concrete, brick and mortar,” she responded. “I mean,” he continued, “What are your relations like?” “I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband’s parents.” He said, “Do you have a real grudge?” “No,” she replied, “We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one.” “Please,” he tried again, “is there any infidelity in your marriage?” “Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don’t necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes.” “Ma’am, does your husband ever beat you up?” “Yes,” she responded, “about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do.” Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, “Lady, why do you want a divorce?” “Oh, I don’t want a divorce,” she replied. “I’ve never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can’t communicate with me!” * * * ### One of my friends always played the same joke on me when we were walking in the forest. Suddenly he freezes and starts staring into the distance as if he saw something between the trees. He doesn’t say a word then, just sometimes he gives me a quick look as if to say, “Man, did you see that?” I usually stood next to him like an idiot, staring at the same spot, wondering if there was something wrong with my eyes. After a while, he looked away and returned to the trail without a word, and I couldn’t even ask what he saw, because he was a dog. * * * ### Philosopher: Hey, did you hear about the mathematician who got into a fight with a triangle? Mechanic: No, what happened? Philosopher: Well, they squared off, but things quickly spiralled out of control. The triangle kept shouting, “Hypotenuse, hypotenuse!” while the mathematician tried to reason with it using the Pythagorean theorem. But instead of resolving the conflict, it just led to a series of nonsensical equations and abstract symbols being thrown around. Mechanic: That sounds odd. What did the mathematician do next? Philosopher: Oh, you won’t believe it. They decided to introduce an imaginary number into the mix, hoping it would diffuse the situation. But instead, it only made things more complex and surreal. The triangle started spinning in circles, shouting, “I’m acute, I’m obtuse, I’m everything and nothing at the same time!” Mechanic: That’s… bizarre. Did they ever find a resolution? Philosopher: Well, eventually, the mathematician tried to divide by zero, thinking it would bring harmony through undefined infinity. But it only caused a cosmic glitch in the fabric of reality, and the entire scene dissolved into a flurry of nonsensical symbols, abstract shapes, and existential angst. Mechanic: Wow, that’s… um, not interesting at all. I don’t even know how to respond to that. Philosopher: Exactly! That’s the beauty of mathematics meeting Dadaism. It’s like a joke that isn’t funny but leaves you pondering the absurdity of existence and the elusive nature of meaning. ---

**A teacher asked her 5th grade class “what part of the human body grows to 10 times its original size when stimulated?”** Little Mary pipes up and says “you can’t ask us a question like that, teacher-- it’s totally inappropriate!”. Little Billy raises his hand. “Yes, Billy?” the teacher asks. “Do you know the answer?” Billy says “yes, the answer is the pupil of the eye”. The teacher says “correct Billy, very good”. Then Billy turns to Mary and says "I have three things to say to you: one, you have a dirty mind; two, you clearly didn’t read the class assignment… “And three, one day you will be very, very disappointed”. ---
