This is a joke that was in the local newspaper the other day;
Two women meet at the pearly gates.
"Hi. My name is Wanda."
"Hi. I'm Sylvia. How'd you die?"
"I froze to death."
"How horrible."
"It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I became warm and sleepy. Finally I died a peaceful death. What about you?"
"I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected my husband was cheating on me, so I came home early to catch him. But he was alone, watching TV."
"So what happened?"
"I was sure a woman was somewhere in the house. I ran up to the attic, down to the basement, checked every closet, under the beds. I so exhausted myself that my heart gave out. I keeled over and died."
"I wish you'd checked the freezer. We'd both be alive."
I don't know guys. I'm not sure I get it. Is there something funny about this joke?

Or the husband put her there...
That was my first assumption. Is that morbid of me? |

You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Also, nothing's fun when you distill it to its basic essence.

See that's what I thought firstoff apl, then I would find it offensive, and not really funny at all.
Yes I know Awk is a bird, but I like to use it in mock indignation. Like the mad face guy that HPM has since claimed for himself as the angry strawberry.

Did you not notice that it hasn't stopped the rest of us, especially me.
Well anyway, I thought it was funny.

I suppose it depends on how she got into the freezer then. I still don't think its that funny.

She got in there 'cos she was hiding from his wife. Not exactly hilarious, but not too bad.

It wouldn't be funny if the way she died was probable (like being strangled or bludgeoned with a candlestick), but since she couldn't really die in a regular freezer we're allowed to laugh. |

Yes. It could also have been funny if on first seeing each other, one had asked, "Mom, what are you doing here?"

The woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.
One day, when he came to, he asked her to come nearer.
As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there.
"When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side ... You know what?"
"What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.
"I think you're bad luck."

George Bush visited a elementary school in the U.S.
After his talk he asked if there were questions.
One little boy put up his hand.
"Mr. President, my name is Billy. I have three questions.
"First, why did the U.S. invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you president when Al Gore got more votes?
"Third, what happened to Osama bin Laden?"
Just then the bell rang for recess.
After recess the president continued with the question period. Another little boy put up his hand.
"Mr. President, my name is Steve. I have five questions.
"First, why did the U.S. invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
"Second, why are you president when Al Gore got more votes?
"Third, what happened to Osama bin Laden?
"Fourth, why did the recess bell ring 20 minutes early?
"And fifth, what happened to Billy?"

So a male ant is walking through the forest and comes upon a female elephant with a thorn in her foot, in obvious pain. "Can you help me?" she asks. I'll do anything if you can get this thorn out of my foot." The ant wraps his arms around the thorn and pulls it out. "Oh, thank you! What can I do for you?" the elephant asks. "Well, I've never had sex with an elephant before," says the ant. "Oh, sure, go ahead," replies the elephant.
So the ant starts crawling up the back of her leg, gets into position, and sticks it in her. Meanwhile, a monkey in a nearby coconut tree sees all this and bursts into hysterical fits of laughter, knocking a coconut out of the tree right onto the elephant's head. "OUCH!" she screams. "Yeah! Take it all, bitch!" says the ant.
