Humor from a generous former Asian ambassador
Men's Helpline!!!
Hello, “You have reached the ‘Men’s Help Line’, my name is Bob. How can I help you?”
“Hi Bob, I really need your advice on a serious problem. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.
You know, just the usual signs: The phone rings and when I answer, the caller hangs up. Plus, she goes out with ‘the girls’ a lot.
I usually try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home, but I always fall asleep.
Anyway, last night about midnight, I woke up and she was not home. So, hid in the garage, behind my boat and waited for her.
When she came home, she got out of this guy’s car, buttoning her blouse.
It was at that moment, while crouched behind the boat, that I noticed a hairline crack in the outboard motor mounting bracket.
Is that something I can weld, or do I need to replace the whole bracket?”
Hankuk Kyungje
Making Horse Laugh
The bartender says to a guy, “If you can make that horse over there laugh you can have free drinks for the rest of the night.”
The guy walks over to the horse and whispers something in his ear and he starts laughing. So the bartender gives him free drinks for the rest of the night.
The next day the bartender says to the guy, “If you can make that horse pooh-pooh I’ll give you free drinks.”
So the guy walks over and does something and the horse starts pooh-poohing. Giving him free drinks, the bartender asks him what he did to the horse.
“To make him laugh I told him I had a bigger dick than he does and to make him pooh-pooh I showed him.”
