Family Humour

Where do Red-headed Babies Come From?

After their baby was born, the panicked father went to see the Obstetrician.

“Doctor,” the man asked, “I don't mind telling you, but I'm a little bit upset because my daughter has red hair. She can't possibly be mine!” “Nonsense,” 

the doctor said...”even though you and your wife both have black hair, 

one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool.”

“It isn't possible,” the man insisted. This can't be. Our families on both sides 

had jet-black hair for generations.” “Well,” said the doctor, ”let me ask you 

this question. How often do you have sex?” The man was a bit ashamed. 

“I've been working very hard for the past year. We only made love 

once or twice every few months.”

“Well...there you have it!” the doctor said confidently...

“It's Rust!”

The Will

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. 

He went to the doctor...and he was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman returned

in a month to the doctor and the doctor stated, “Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”

The gentleman replied, “Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times.”

I Didn't Do It!

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in 

their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers 

strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, 

as was the front door of the house.

Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess! A lamp had been knocked over and the rug was wadded against the wall. The Family Room 

was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the Kitchen, dishes 

filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door 

was wide open, a broken glass lay under the table and a small pile of sand 

spread at the back door from a toppled pail and shovel.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothing, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill or that something serious 

had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way 

out of the Bathroom door. As he peered inside, he found wet towels, scumming soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet tissue lay in a heap 

and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.

As he rushed to the Bedroom, he found his wife...still curled up in her pyjamas, reading a book. She looked at him...smiled...and asked him how his day went. 

He looked bewildered and asked, “What happened here today?”

She again smiled...and answered, “You know, every day when you come home from work...and you ask me, “What in the world did you do today?”

“Yes...” was his incredulous reply. She answered, “Well, Today I Didn't Do It!”

(The foregoing...from a Family Magazine I recently read in Connecticut)

I debated, “Is this Humorous? “ or is it

“a Sad State of being Unappreciative?”

Husbands are Husbands

A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him round the head 

with a frying pan. “What was that for?” the man asked. The wife replied, 

“That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it that I found in your pants pocket.” The man then said, “When I was at the races last week,
Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on.” The wife apologized and
went on with the housework.

Three days later, the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious. Upon regaining awareness, the man asked why she had hit him again. Wife replied...

”Your horse phoned!”

                         Mom: Well, you have done the right thing.

                         Son:   But, Mom, I was sitting on Daddy's lap!
