THE BEST COLD WATER CAN DO

(The following joke is posted all over the internet and yet the way I heard it isn't quite the way I've seen it posted so I'm attempting to tell it the way I remember it)


 A man was traveling through the wilderness for days and needed a place to rest. He spotted a cabin in the woods. Went to the door and knocked. An elderly man and his dog came to the door.  The Traveler said; " Sir I've been traveling for days and haven't had any rest, might I stay here for a little while?"  "Why certainly" said the old man  " Come right on in. I'll heat up some potatoes and eggs, I'll bet your hungry" I sure am that" said the travelor "and I'm mighty obliged" "Oh that's okay" said the old man. "have a seat". The old man set the table. The traveler couldn't help but notice that there was something on the plate. He didn't want to be ignorant but he went ahead and mentioned. Sir there appears to be something on this here plate" The old man said; "Oh that's okay it's only the best cold water can do and it won't hurt ya" As he served up the food. The travelor ate the food and thanked the man: "Thank you so very much for your kind hospitality. Now let me repay you by washing your dishes for you"  With that the old man replied; "Oh no that won't be neccesary" The old man whistled and called: Here cold water, Here cold water and set the dirty dishes down on the floor.  With that the traveler had to pick his chin off the floor. Watching the dog who's name by the way is  "Cold Water" Lick the plates.

Equal Opportunity Employer





A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window saying:

"HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."

A short time afterwards, a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and
went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined.


Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However,
the dog looked determined, so he led him into the office. Inside, the dog
jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager.


The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to
type."


The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and
gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair.


The manager was stunned, but then told the dog, "The sign says you have to be good with a computer."

The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to demonstrate his expertise with various programs and produced a sample spreadsheet and database and presented them to the manager.

By this time the manager was totally dumbfounded! He looked at the dog and said, "I realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some
interesting abilities. However, I still can't give you the job."


The dog jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the part about being an Equal Opportunity Employer.

The manager said, "Yes, but the sign also says that you have to be bilingual."

The dog looked at him straight in the face and said, "Meow."

Don't Speak To The Parrot

Mrs. Agathe's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way...don't worry about my Doberman. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!"
When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe's apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling.
Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!"
To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"

Jesus is Watching






Jesus is Watching

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you."

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

"Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot. "Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you." The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?" "Moses," replied the bird. "Moses?" the burglar laughed... "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?" "The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."
