Amusing short story jokes:
1. Escaping a ticket:
Jim was finally enjoying a bit of freedom in life, so he decided to buy himself a new Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet.
On the day he collected it from the dealership, he thought it would be a great idea to take his new toy out for a spin on the Interstate.
It was a pleasant evening, so with the top down and the wind in his hair, he decided to really put his foot down until the pedal hit the metal.
The acceleration was amazing, but as the car hit 90 mph, suddenly there was the sound of a siren, and through his rearview mirror, Jim could see blue lights flashing.
Undaunted by this turn of events, Jim just thought to himself, “There’s no way the cops will catch me in a Mercedes at full speed.”
And momentarily, he kept the car going flat out until his speed exceeded 110 mph.
However, his nerve went when he realised that, despite his speed, the cops were actually gaining on him.
So the reality of his situation hit him, and Jim thought, “What the hell am I doing?“
He slowed down and pulled over.
At the side of the road, the cop came up to him and said, “Sir, could I see your license, please?”
Jim handed over his license.
The cop studied it momentarily and then said to Jim, “Sir, it’s been a long day, this is the end of my shift, and to be honest, I really don’t feel like doing any more paperwork. So I’ll offer you a deal. If you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven’t heard before, I’ll let you go without a ticket.“
Jim thought for a second and then said, “Officer, a month ago, my wife ran off with a cop. Life has been so good since then, but I was afraid you were chasing in an attempt to give her back to me.“
The cop smiled at Jim and said, “Have a nice weekend, sir.”
And with that, he left Jim to enjoy his new car.
2. The price for a little fun:
It was Friday evening; it had been payday, and Bill had really had a tough week.
So on leaving the office, he decided that instead of going home, he would stay out for the entire weekend partying with his buddies and in the process blow his entire week’s salary.
When he finally arrived home on Sunday evening, he was confronted by his angry wife, and, needless to say, she hurled abuse at him for nearly two hours in a tirade befitting his irresponsible actions.
Finally, as she stopped shouting at him, his wife said to him, “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?”
“That would be fine with me,” Bill responded unwisely.
Monday went by, and Bill didn’t see his wife.
Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results.
However, on Thursday, the swelling had gone down sufficiently for Bill to see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.
3. Dumb man joke:
Jim is taking a shower in the bathroom, and his wife shouts, “Did you find the shampoo, Jim?”
“Yes,” he responds, “but I’m not quite sure what to do, Irene.”
“Why’s that, Jim?” Irene asks.
“Well,” says Jim, “it says it’s for dry hair, but I’ve just wet mine.“

4. Out of the mouths of babes:
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot.
One day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot.
The young family’s 4-year-old daughter immediately took an interest in what was going on with the crew on the lot and spent much of each day observing the workers.
Now, the construction crew were decent and friendly guys, and very quickly they adopted the little girl as their project mascot.
They would chat with her, let her sit with them during coffee and lunch breaks, and give her little jobs here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope containing a couple of dollars.
Well, the little girl felt important. She took her pay home to her mother, who encouraged her further and suggested they deposit her two dollars at the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had earned her own money at such a young age.
The little girl proudly replied, “I worked last week with the crew building the house next door to us.“
“Well, that’s impressive,” said the teller. “Will you be working on the house again next week, too?“
The little girl smiled and then replied, “I will if those lazy b*stards at Home Depot ever deliver the f**king bricks.”
5. Unexpected benefit:
Mike and his wife, Liz, had the misfortune to be caught up in a terrible road traffic accident with multiple cars involved. Unfortunately, in the carnage that followed, Liz’s face was severely burned.
She was taken to the local hospital, where the doctor told Mike that she would need a skin graft on her face.
“The problem is,” said the doctor, “your wife is so thin we wouldn’t be able to use any skin from her body for the graft.”
“Could I donate skin from my body?” asked Mike.
“Yes, you can,” said the doctor. “However, the only suitable skin would be skin from your buttocks.”
Mike explained the situation to Liz and asked whether skin from his buttocks would be acceptable to her.
“Well, as long as no one else knows where the skin came from,” said Liz.
Jim assured her that it would be their secret, and the doctor also promised he would honour her request for secrecy.
So Liz had the surgery, and when all the scars had healed, everyone was amazed at how beautiful Liz now looked.
She’d always been attractive, but she was now even more beautiful than she’d been before. All her friends and relatives couldn’t help commenting on her youthful beauty.
One day, Liz was sitting alone with Mike, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice.
“Mike, I just want you to know how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. There’s no way I could ever repay you,” said Liz.
Mike smiled and kissed her. Then he said, “Darling, think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.”
