A little guy is sitting at the bar just staring at his drink for half an hour when this big trouble-making biker steps next to him, grabs his drink, gulps it down in one swig and then turns to the guy with a menacing stare as if to say, "What'cha gonna do about it?"
The poor little guy starts crying. "Come on man I was just giving you a hard time," the biker says. "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can't stand to see a man crying."
"This is the worst day of my life," says the little guy between sobs. "I can't do anything right. I overslept and was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife in bed with the gardener and my dog bit me. So I came to this bar trying to work up the courage to put an end to my life, and then you show up and drink the damn poison."
Credit due, Doug.
Oh dear, I saw the heading and rushed over to your blog hoping to console you and what do I find :-)
ReplyDeleteCheeky!
ReplyDeleteLoved it. Had to read it Michael (my DH) over Sunday morning breakfast.
ReplyDeleteBrian, I'm sorry to have worried you, but I'm glad you came over and found a laugh.
ReplyDeleteThat was funny.
ReplyDeleteNow he's gonna have the biker's death on his conscience, too. Life is so unfair.
ReplyDeleteYeah, poor fella. I love your new gravatar pic, PJ.
ReplyDeleteMimi, I quite often pass on your (i.e. Doug's) jokes to my elderly parents in the UK. They thoroughly enjoy them. They don't have internet access. So - just to let you know, you are passing on a double blessing!
ReplyDeleteTim, how nice. How do you get the jokes to them? In a letter? A phone call? I'm sure Doug would be happy to know that, too.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I didn't see that coming.
ReplyDeleteLindy, try to keep up, love. I confess that I didn't either. That's why I thought it was so funny.
