Joke

A man was on holiday in the Caribbean and liking the continual good weather settled down for a day's sunbathing. He fell asleep and after a whole day his legs were sunburned beyond belief and he could hardly stand for the pain. So he goes along to the doctor for treatment.

The doctor looks at his sunburned legs and says, 'Well, you realize that this is only a small village with very limited medical facilities, and in reality I've really got nothing at all to help you. However, try taking one of these Viagra tablets.'

So the man says 'but I've got acute sunburn. What's a Viagra tablet going to do?'

The doctor says, 'basically, nothing at all for the sunburn but it will help keep the sheets off of your legs tonight.'

Joke

Sitting by the window in her convent, Sister Anne opened a letter from home and found a $10 bill inside. As she read the letter, she caught sight of a shabbily dressed stranger leaning against a lamppost below.

Quickly she wrote, "Don't despair, Sister Anne" on a piece of paper, wrapped the $10 in it and dropped it out the window. The stranger picked it up and, with a puzzled expression and a tip of his hat, went off down the street. The next day Sister Anne was told that a man was at the door, insisting on seeing her.

She went down and found the stranger waiting. Without a word, he handed her a roll of bills. "What's this?" she asked.

"That's the 60 bucks you have coming. Don't Despair paid five to one."

Joke

A friend's mom was driving in Canada. She was going through a park area. She sped up. Suddenly, she was pulled over by a park ranger. She decided to see if she could be cute and get herself out of a speeding ticket. When the officer approached her car, she asked innocently, "Gee, officer, are you selling tickets to the policeman's ball?"

To that, he replied, "No ma'am. We're rangers! We don't have any balls!" He continued to write down some information.

After about a half a minute, the park ranger looked up, turned red, and muttered, "Never mind." He closed his ticket book, got in his car, and drove off - no ticket was issued.
