A Thread for Jokes

(Actually, it’s a real article, and I haven’t read it. The reason though is because I’m expecting it to be a media beat-up and an overblown, misleading headline that doesn’t bear much resemblance to reality or what they are reporting on)

I kind of want to tell a UDP joke I know, but I don’t know whether anyone will get it.

Jim and Sue had an argument one Thursday night, over Jim staying late at the bar every night. Sue was upset because she didn’t get to spend time with her husband. Jim assured her that he would do better in the future.

Friday, on the way home from work, Jim stops in at the bar “for a quick drink”. One turns into several, and he’s having such a great time with his buddies that he loses track of time. But then the bartender announces last call, and Jim panics.

He goes to the pay phone back by the rest rooms and calls his wife. “Don’t pay the ransom, honey, I escaped!” he tells her.

“Oh my god, I’ve been so worried!” Sue tells him. “Are you okay? When will you be home?”

Jim, congratulating himself on pulling a fast one, assures her he is okay and will be home soon. But as he turns to walk away, the pay phone rings and he lifts the handset without even thinking about it, and he recognizes his wife’s voice.

“You idiots, you let him get away! Now we have to go through all of this again tomorrow night!”

Jim took Sue out to dinner Saturday night.

A friend’s fiancee got a dog recently. My friend is now referring to the dog as Canus coitus interruptus.

My girlfriend and I are getting a cat next month. I hope it doesn’t become Felis coitus interruptus.
