A young Arab boy asks his father “What is that strange hat you are wearing?”

The father said: "Why, my son, it is a 'chechia.' In the desert it protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun.”

"And what is the long flowing robe you are wearing?” asked the boy.

“Oh, my son!” exclaimed the father “It is very simple. This is a 'djbellah.' As I have told you, in the desert it is not only very hot, but the sand is always blowing. My djbellah protects the entire body."

The son then asked: "But Father, what about those ugly shoes you have on your feet?”

"These are 'babouches' my son,” the father replied. You must understand that although the desert sands are very beautiful, they are also extremely hot. These babouches keep us from burning our feet."

"So tell me then," added the boy.

"Yes, my son…”

"Why are we living in Birmingham and still wearing all this crap?!"

My wife and I have a lot of potted plants. During this recent cold spell, my wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze.

It turned out that a little garden snake was hiding in one of the plants. When it had warmed up, it slithered out and my wife saw it go under the sofa.

She let out a very loud scream.

I ran out into the living room naked from the shower to see what the problem was.

She told me there was a snake under the sofa.

I got down on the floor on my hands and knees to look for it.

About that time our dog came in and cold-nosed me on the behind.

I thought the snake had bitten me, so I screamed and fell over on the floor.

My wife thought I had a heart attack, so she covered me up, told me to lie still and called an ambulance.

The first responders rushed in, would not listen to my protests and loaded me on a stretcher, and started carrying me out.

My wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called on a neighbor who volunteered to capture the snake.

He armed himself with a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch.

Soon he decided it was gone and told my wife, who sat down on the sofa in relief.

But while relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions, where she felt the snake wiggling around. She screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back under the sofa.

The man, seeing her lying there passed out, tried to do CPR to revive her.

His wife, who had just returned from shopping at the grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on my wife's mouth and slammed him in the back of the head with a can of peas, knocking him out and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches.

The noise woke my wife from her faintness and she saw her neighbor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed that the snake had bitten him.

She went to the kitchen and got a small bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the man's throat.

By now, the police had arrived.

Breathe sir......

They saw the unconscious man, smelled the whiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred.

They were about to arrest them all, when my wife tried to explain how it all happened over a little garden snake!

The police called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor and his sobbing wife.

Now, the little snake again crawled out from under the sofa and one of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it.

He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table. The table fell over, the lamp shattered, and as the bulb broke, it started a fire in the drapes.

Meanwhile, neighbors saw the burning drapes and called in the fire department.

A few months later, the house was repaired, and everything was back to normal.

We were watching TV one evening and the weatherman announced a cold front for that night. My wife asked me if I thought we should bring in the plants for the night.

And that's when I shot her, 'Your Honor'!

Me: "Have you ever heard of Murphy's Law?"

Them: "Yeah."

Me: "What is it?"

Them: "If something can go wrong, it will go wrong."

Me: "Right. Have you heard of Cole's Law?"

Them: "No, what is it?"

Me: "Thinly sliced cabbage."

I got kicked out of a flat earth group for asking if that 6 ft social distance rule ever pushed anyone over the edge...

A woman wrote to tech support, and their reply is a stroke of genius. This young woman is simply looking for an answer to two questions: How do you maintain a relationship? How do you bring back the excitement of the first date. She wrote a letter to tech support to find her answers. She sent the letter as a joke and only remembered the letter when she suddenly received an email response.

Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as: Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed, Desperate

Dear Desperate,
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband
1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5,
Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please, do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program.
These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.
You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck!
