'I brought these. I can play gin, poker, solitaire, and so on. And what did you bring?'
'I brought my paints, so I can paint anything during my time spent in prison. I am a creative guy.'
The redneck was sitting quietly aside, grinning to himself.
'What did you bring?' they asked him suspiciously.
'I brought these,' replied the redneck, pulling out a box of tampons.

A bicycle mailman was telling his colleague one day that the company wants to transfer him to Minneapolis but he was going to quit before he had to move there.
'Why?' the colleague asked.
'I am just too afraid of the crime, too new, too big city for a bicycle mailman. Even though I have to pass the bigger salary and the fringe benefits, I do not want to transfer there,' he replied.
'Kevin, reconsider that. Minneapolis has parks, lakes, museums, it is close to Canada, etc. It is a great city. I myself worked there for almost 5 years and in all that time I never ever had any problem with crime while I was there.'
The bicycle mailman asked, 'Really? What was your job there?'
'I was tail gunner on an ice-cream truck.'

An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig the garden to prepare a vegetable garden plot, but it was too hard work for him alone. His only son, who always helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to him and described his situation:

"Dear My Only Son,
I am not feeling well these days at all. It looks like I won't be able to plant my vegetables this year. I am too old to dig up and prepare my vegetable garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would end. I know you would dig the garden for me.
I love you, Daddy"

Two days later the old man received a letter from his son:

"Dear Daddy,
For heaven's sake, do not dig up that garden never ever, that is where I buried THAT.
Love you too, Son"

Next morning, federal agents and local police appeared at the old man's house. They dug up the entire garden without finding any bodies. They were ashamed, apologized to the old man and left. Next day the old man received another letter from his beloved son:

"Dear Daddy,
That was the best I could do under the circumstances to help you to prepare the vegetable garden plot.
Love you, Son

Before bedtime an old lady went into her living room to find a burglar, who put into his pocket every valuable thing what he could see. Not having any kind of weapon, she raised her hand and said loudly, 'Acts 2:38', and continued quoting scripture.
The burglar froze and didn't move more. The old lady called 911 and the police hurried to the house. The burglar was still frozen where he stood.
'What did you say to this burglar?' the police asked.
'I simply said "Acts 2:38" and starting quoting scripture,' she answered.
The police chuckled and put the burglar into the police car.
'Why did you remain frozen, why did the lady's quoting scripture scare you so much?' they asked.
'Scripture?' asked the burglar, 'God, I thought she said she had an ax and two 38's!'

The African lie-detector is a very efficient thing. The police places a metal ring on the suspect's head, and connects it with some wires to a photocopy machine. One sheet of paper is placed in the machine, with the sentence: "It is a lie."

A guy went to buy an old-fashioned vinyl record. He was in the music store when he noticed that he forgot his wallet at home. Instead of collecting his wallet, he decided to steal the vinyl record. So he simply slid it into his trousers.

The guy replied, 'Well, it might not be a record, however there haven't been any complaints so far.'
