An Old Blind Cowboy Wanders into Bar by Mistake

“No. I do not want to explain the punchline twelve times.”
The room laughed, and someone guided him to the correct bar next door.

fingers, adding, “But it feels like rubber.” Curious, the attorney inquired, “What do you have there?” The old drunk answered, “I don’t know, but it looks like plastic
and feels like rubber.” The attorney responded, “Let me take a look.” So the old drunk handed it over and the lawyer rolled between his thumb and fingers, then examined
it closely by sniffing and licking it. “Yeah, it does look like plastic and feel like rubber, has no significant smell
or taste, I sure don’t know what it is. Where did you get it?” The old drunk fellow answered, “Out of my nose!”

The Fireman Hose
A firefighter explained the station’s efficient bell system to his wife. One bell meant jackets, two meant the pole, and three meant everyone was ready to leave.
He suggested using the same system for household chores. One bell would mean clear the table, two would mean load the dishwasher, and three would mean sit down for dessert.
That evening he rang once. Nobody moved. He rang twice. The dog barked. He rang three times and waited proudly for dessert.

proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialled the subscriber’s house. The phone
didn’t ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found: 1. The dog was tied to the
telephone system’s ground wire with a steel chain and collar. 2. The wire connection to the ground rd was loose. 3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signalling current when
the number was called. 4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate. 5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring.
