Do you enjoy funny joke stories, dear reader?
Those little stories you can embellish as you tell them, and they always have a funny punch line.
Well, I love them, and here are four that were new to me and that I thought you might enjoy.
Take a moment to read them all, and feel free to share them with others.
Funny joke stories:
1. Shock for the preacher’s wife:
Jeff and Emma both had demanding jobs, working on Wall Street, and they’d decided it was time for them to take a break, catch a little sunshine, and relax down in Acapulco for a week.
As luck would have it, on the day they were due to depart, Emma had to deal with an emergency at the investment bank in which she worked.
So, they agreed that Jeff would go as planned, and Emma would take a later flight, meeting him the following day at the hotel.
When Jeff arrived at the hotel, having checked in, he decided that it would be a good idea to email Emma and let her know he’d arrived safely.
Now Jeff and Emma were active members of the congregation at a Lutheran church in Manhattan, and the wife of the preacher from the church was Emma Davis, which coincidentally was exactly the same name as Jeff’s wife, Emma.
In his haste to type out his message, Jeff inadvertently selected the wrong Emma Davis from his contact list, and his message was sent to the preacher’s wife by mistake.
To compound the problem, it just so happened that the elderly preacher had died suddenly on the day that Jeff had departed for Acapulco.
So, when the grieving widow checked her emails, she saw she had a message from a parishioner, and naturally, she opened it and began reading.
Immediately, she let out a loud, piercing scream, and then she fainted, collapsing to the floor.
At the sound of her falling, her daughter rushed into the room. Her daughter looked at her mother and then glanced at the message her mother had been reading on her iPad.
The email message read:
Dearest Emma,
I’ve just arrived. Everything is prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
P.S. It’s certainly hot down here.
2. The early days in paradise:
One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, “Lord, I have a problem!“
To which God responds, “And what is this problem, Eve?“
“Well, Lord,” says Eve, “I know you created me and all of this beautiful garden and all of these amazing animals and that hilarious comedic snake, but I’m lonely and unhappy.”
Naturally, God is sympathetic to Eve’s plight and says, “Well, Eve, my dear, I have a solution for you. I shall create a man for you.“
“Oh, right,” says Eve. “But what is a man, Lord?”
“Man will be a flawed creature,” says God. “He will have many tiresome traits. He will lie, cheat, and be quite selfish and self-obsessed. He will frequently give you a hard time, too.”
Sounding doubtful, Eve says, “How will this be a positive experience for me then, Lord?”
“Well,” says God, “he’ll be bigger than you, stronger, and will be good at hunting food and killing things.”
“That sounds more encouraging,” says Eve.
God continued, “However, he will look silly when aroused, but he will satisfy your physical needs.”
“Is there anything else I should know, Lord?” says Eve.
“Yes,” God continues. “He will be witless and will enjoy childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won’t be smart, so he’ll need your advice to think properly.“
“That sounds great, Lord,” says Eve, “but what’s the catch?“
“You will have to agree to one condition,” God responds.
“And what is that, Lord?” asks Eve.
“Well, as he will be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring, you’ll have to let him believe that I made him first,” says God. “Can you do that, Eve?”
“Yes, Lord,” says Eve.
“That’s good, but just remember, this will be our little secret, Eve,” says God. “You know, woman to woman.”
3. Old age problem:
Jack was on his lunch break, and he decided that he’d sit in the sunshine in Central Park to eat his lunch.
As he walked into the park, he noticed an elderly man sitting on a bench near the gate, sobbing uncontrollably.
Naturally, Jack stopped and asked the old man what was wrong.
“I have a beautiful, 39-year-old wife at home,” said the old man. “She’s loving and kind, and every morning she gets up and makes me pancakes for breakfast with maple syrup, blueberries, and freshly ground coffee.”
“Wow!” said Jack. “She sounds wonderful. So, why are you crying?”
The old man continued to sob. “She cleans my house and keeps it spotless and tidy. Then she makes me delicious clam chowder and crackers for lunch. And in the afternoon, she sits with me, and we watch the sports channel for the rest of the afternoon.”
“Gee!” Jack responded. “Women like that are hard to find. So, why are you crying?”
With a tear in his eye, the old man said, “For dinner, she always cooks a delicious, gourmet meal with French wine and a fabulous dessert. And after dinner, we cuddle on the sofa watching television until bedtime.”
“You’re a lucky man,” said Jack, “and I don’t understand why in the world you would be crying.”
The old man looked up and sighed, “I can’t remember where I live.”
4. An expression of love:
Jane was a born romantic at heart, and she liked nothing better than to send her husband, Jim, a loving text message whenever he was away on business.
One morning, when Jim was away, she decided to send him a text message, knowing he would likely be in his hotel room getting ready for the day ahead.
Her message read, “If you’re still sleeping, send me your dreams. If you’re laughing, send me your smile. Perhaps you’re still eating; in that case, send me a bite. And if you’re drinking your morning coffee, then send me a sip. I love you!”
Unfortunately for Jane, Jim was the typical blunt, unromantic kind of guy. He responded, “I’m on the toilet, taking a dump. Please advise.”
