Believe Some Of You Would Find These Jokes Cute

Subject:  HaHaHaaaaaaaaa!

With all the new technology regarding fertility, an 88-year-old woman was
able to give birth to a baby recently.

 

When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, various relatives
came to visit. "May we see the new baby?"one of them asked.

 

"Not yet," said the mother. "I'll make coffee and we can visit for a while
first."

 

Another half hour passed before another relative asked, "May we see the new
baby now?"

 

"No, not yet," said the mother.

 

A while later and again the guests asked, "May we see the baby now?"

 

"No, not yet," replied the mother.

 

Growing impatient, they asked, "Well, when can we see the baby?"

"When it cries!" she told them.

 

"When it cries?" they gasped. "Why do we have to wait until it cries?"

 

"Because, I forgot where I put it."

Another one: The Nun Decorators

 

The head nun tells the two new nuns that they have to paint their room
without getting any paint on their clothes.

 

The one nun says to the other, "Hey, let's take all our clothes off, fold
them up, and lock the door."

 

So they do this, and begin painting their room.

 

Soon they hear a knock at the door. They ask, "Who is it?"

 

"Blind man!"

 

The nuns look at each other, then one nun says, "He's blind, he can't see.

What could it hurt." They let him in.

 

The man walks in, does a double take, and says, "Where do you want me to
hang the blinds?"

And one more (Promise... this is the last one...for TODAY!!!):

 

The Soldier and the Nun

 

A soldier came to a fork in the road and saw a nun standing there.

 

Out of breath he asked, "Please Sister, may I hide under your skirts for a few
minutes. I'll explain WHY later."

 

The nun agreed.

 

A moment later two Military Police came running along and asked,
"Sister, have you seen a soldier running by here?"

 

The nun replied, "He went that way."

 

After the MP's disappeared, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt
and said, "I can't thank you enough Sister, but you see -- I don't want to
go to Iraq ."

 

The nun said, "I think I can fully understand your fear."

 

The soldier added, "I hope you don't think me rude or impertinent, but you
have a great pair of legs!"

 

The nun replied, "If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen a
great pair of balls... I don't want to go to Iraq either."

 

My dog, He's alot better now...... He's actually a very lovable dog and my whole family loves him so.  Glad that we did rescue him from a past abused life....... He's knows how to show affection now......
