Couple of Jokes:
Tatoo
An accountant gets home late one night and his wife says, “Where the hell have you been?” He replies, ” I was out getting a tattoo.
“A tattoo?” she frowned. “What kind of tattoo did you get?”
“I got a hundred dollar bill on my penis,” he said proudly.
“What the hell were you thinking?” she said, shaking her head in disdain. “Why on earth would an accountant get a hundred dollarb bill on his penis?”
“Well, one, I like to watch my money grow,” he began. “Two, once in a while, I like to play with my money… Three, I like how my money feels in my hand…
And lastly, instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred bucks.
Jack and Jill
Jack was going to be married to Jill, so his father sat him down for a little fireside chat. He said “Jack, let me tell you something. On my wedding night
in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants and handed them to your mother, and said, “Here – try these on.”
She did, and said, “These are too big, I can’t wear them.”
I replied, “…exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. Ever since that night we have never had any problems.”
Hmmm says Jack. He thinks that might be a good thing to try. So on his honeymoon Jack takes off his pants and says to Jill, “Here-try these on.”
She does and says, “These are too large, they don’t fit me.”
So Jack says, “…exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will, and I don’t want you to ever forget that.”
Jill says nothing. She takes off her pants and hands them to Jack and says, “Here, try mine on.” So he does and says, “I can’t get into your pants.” Jill
says, “…exactly. And if you don’t change your smart ass attitude, you never will!!!!”
