A Man Walks Into a Barbershop…
A man walks into a barbershop and asks, “How much for a haircut?”
“Twelve dollars,” says the barber.
“And for a shave?”
“Ten dollars.”
“All right,” says the man, settling into the barber chair. “Shave my head.”

As the music swelled during a recent wedding reception, my hopelessly romantic husband squeezed my hand, leaned in, and said, “You are better looking than half the women here.”

A client walked into my design studio with a black-and-white flyer.
Client: Can you make a color copy?
Me: Do you have the original?
Client: No. Just this one.
Me: Sorry, I can’t make color copies unless I have the original color version.
Client (confused): Why can’t you just run it through the color copier?

My husband and I couldn’t decide which jacket to buy our granddaughter, so we asked the young salesman.
“If you were buying a jacket for your girlfriend,” I said, “what would you get?”
“A bulletproof one,” he said. “I’m married.”

My seatmate on a flight was a woman. Ever the charmer, I asked, “Does the airline charge you extra for sitting next to good-looking men?”
“Yes,” she said, “but I wasn’t willing to pay.”

As the music swelled during a recent wedding reception, my hopelessly romantic husband squeezed my hand, leaned in, and said, “You are better looking than half the women here.”

A doctor sent this note to our medical clinic: “Patient needs a
referral for your office from me. I saw her for her ankle and would like you to run over it.”

These office drones know exactly what you’re thinking at work:
• No one likes hearing “agree to disagree.” Why don’t we just say, “You’re wrong, but I don’t feel like fighting about it right now”?
• Sorry, I don’t listen to lectures on being organized from people with 60 icons on their laptop’s desktop.
• Answers to questions asked on the way to the bathroom are not
legally binding. People will agree to anything in that situation.

Supervisor: This project isn’t something we can finish off quickly. It’s like an onion. It has layers that we have to peel away, one by one.
Coworker: And it will make us cry a lot.

It’s Winter break time, and a lot of people will be traveling. Which means it’s also a great time to be the person who gets to approve visa requests, like these handed in by travelers to England.
• “I want to be closer to Elton John. He doesn’t come to Togo. Do you see him much in Britain?”
• “Do you know if it’s easier to find a wife in England? I’m struggling here [in Peru].”
• “Is everybody friends with the queen?”

My cousin once called in sick to work because of a “death in the family.”
I was her boss.

For much of her bartending shift, my wife had to contend with
a rowdy customer. At the end of the night, he demanded, “Where’s the bathroom!?”
“Go down the hallway, and you’ll see a door marked gentlemen,” she said. “But don’t let that deter you.”

From a church bulletin: “The new parking area looks great. Thanks to the men who turned out Saturday to help with the groveling.”

Our neighbor brought over a delicious homemade meal, eliciting this comment from my daughter: “No offense, Mom, but Kristi’s dinner makes you look like a really bad mother.”
My older daughter quickly jumped to my defense.
“Parker, that’s absolutely not true,” she said. “Kristi just makes Mom look like a really bad cook.”

Have a date for Valentine’s Day? Hope it doesn’t end up like these
@FirstDateHell dates.
• He couldn’t remember my name, so he asked if I would mind if he just called me Amy instead.
• In a restaurant, she said she did a great impression of a fax
machine. Then she beeped loudly while unraveling a napkin from
her mouth.
• He said, “From your photo, I thought you were too good for me. I’m glad to see you’ve got flaws.” Then he listed them.

It’s easy to get disoriented when visiting New York City. One
befuddled tourist asked his hotel concierge, “The last time we were
in NYC, we got out of a subway, and we saw some water and some boats. Do you know where that is?”

I was visiting my mother one day, when she passed the candy dish full of chocolates and took one for herself.
“I thought your doctor told you to stop eating candy,” I said.
“Oh, I don’t have to listen to him anymore,” she replied.
“Why not?”
“He died.”

Good morning everyboomie.
if it's the day after yesterday then that's awesome, cuz Tuesdays are infinitely better than Mondays, and I had a pretty darned good Monday.
I went out to the sod farm Monday. They had a fair amount of rain since my last visit, and I was able to find four nice points and four or five scrapers.
It will be hard to top that. I expect Tuesday will be used up with more home improvement chores.
Have a super Tuesday everyone.
