Jim strolls into the paint section of his local hardware store. Bob is the assistant on the floor that day. "Can I help you?" Bob asks.

"Yes. I'd like a pint of canary-colored paint," replies Jim.

"Certainly," says Bob, fetching the small can. "Painting some trim?"

"Nope. I'm going to paint my parakeet."

"What? Why would you do that?"

"I want to enter him into a canary singing contest. He sings so sweetly, I'm sure he'd win!" Jim exclaims.

"Well, you can't do that," says Bob. "Besides the fact it's cheating, the chemicals in the paint will kill the poor bird."

"Nah, they won't," Jim replies.

"Listen, buddy, I'll bet you ten bucks your parakeet dies if you try to paint it."

"You're on!" says Jim as he pays for his paint and strides out of the store.

Two days later Jim returns, looking very sheepish, and puts a ten-dollar bill on the counter in front of Bob.

"So the paint killed your parakeet?" Bob inquires.

"Well, indirectly," replies Jim. "He seemed to handle the paint okay, but he didn't survive the sanding between coats."

FOR WOMEN ONLY

 

~ Reason to smile: Every 7 minutes of every day, someone in an aerobic class pulls a hamstring.

 

~ Women over 50 don't have babies, because they would put them down and forget where they left them.

 

~ One of life's mysteries is how a 2 lb. box of candy can make a woman gain 5 lbs.

 

~ The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.

 

~ Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks two sizes!

 

~ I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That is my idea of a perfect day.

A farmer who grew watermelons was doing pretty well, but some local kids would sneak into his watermelon patch at night and eat his watermelons.  The farmer came up with a clever idea that he thought would scare the kids away for sure.  He made up a sign and posted it in the field: "Warning! One of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide."

 

That night the kids saw the sign and they ran off to plot revenge.  Next morning there were no watermelons missing, but a new sign said: "Now there are two!"

PASS IT ON!

Yeah, you can send this Funny to anybody you want. And, if you're REAL nice, you'll tell them where you got it! www.mikeysFunnies.com
