Every man for himself
There’s a plane going down over the desert with only three parachutes on board. There are four people aboard: the smartest man in the world, the best doctor in the world, an old priest, and a young nerd. The doctor says, “People need me for my medical skills,” grabs the first parachute pack, and jumps.
The smartest man in the world says, “People need me for my intelligence,” grabs a pack, and jumps. The old priest says, “I have lived a long and happy life. You take the last chute.” The nerd says, “Don’t worry. There are enough chutes for the both of us. The smartest man in the world just grabbed my backpack.”
A jerk of a drunk
A man walks into a rooftop bar and takes a seat next to another guy. “What are you drinking?” he asks the guy.
“Magic beer,” he says.
“Oh, yeah? What’s so magical about it?”
Then he shows him: He swigs some beer, dives off the roof, flies around the building, then finally returns to his seat with a triumphant smile.
“Amazing!” the man says. “Lemme try some of that!” The man grabs the beer. He downs it, leaps off the roof – and plummets fifteen stories to the ground.
The bartender shakes his head. “You know, you’re a real jerk when you’re drunk, Superman.”

Deadly secrets
Abner’s wife was laying on her deathbed. She suddenly used all her strength to sit up and say to her husband, “I must tell you something, or my soul will never know peace. I have been unfaithful to you, Abner. In this very house, not one month ago.” “Hush, dear,” soothed Abner. “I know all about it. Why else would I have poisoned you?”
Unfortunate robber
A robber breaks into a house while the residents are away one dark night. Eager to see what he can loot, he quickly starts searching through cupboards and dressers, grabbing valuables with a trained eye. Suddenly, he hears a voice come out of nowhere. “Jesus is watching you.”
The criminal jumps, scared the residents have come back, and freezes. After a few minutes of silence however, he assumes it was his imagination, and goes back to robbing. A couple minutes pass, before once again, the voice returns. “Jesus is watching you.” Quite confused, the thief searches the house and checks the front door, but nothing comes off as unusual. He finally decides to move rooms, and finds a parrot, but ignores it. Before he can begin to do anything, someone speaks again, “Jesus is watching you.” The robber realizes it was the parrot talking all along!
Going to the parrot, he asks it, “Are you the one who’s been talking to me?” The parrot responds, “Yes.” The thief can’t believe it so he asks another question. “What is your name?” “Ismael,” the parrot replies. The man scoffs. “What type of idiot names a parrot Ismael?” The parrot speaks yet again, “The same type of idiot that names a Rottweiler Jesus.”
Playing with matches
Little Natalie was playing with matches. Her mother caught her, took them, whupped her, and told her never to play with matches again. A few minutes later, Little Natalie started to play with matches again. The curtains caught fire and the house burned down.
Another few minutes later, when she and her mother are sitting at their neighbor’s house, her mother tells her, “If you think I gave you a whupping, wait ‘til your father gets home!” Little Natalie just cackled with delight. She knew her father had gotten home earlier and gone upstairs to take a nap.
