? My mother taught me everything about genetics, ‘You’re just like your father!?
? A little old lady was sitting on a park bench at Trailer Estates, a Florida Mobile Home park.
A man walked over and sat on the other end of the bench.
After a few minutes the lady asks, ‘Are you a stranger here??
He replies, ‘I lived here years ago.?
‘So, where were you all these years??
‘In prison,? he replies.
‘Why did they put you in prison??
He looked at her and very quietly said, ‘I killed my wife.?
‘Oh,? said the woman, ‘So you’re single.?
? If ignorance is bliss, why aren’t more people happy?
? Diet quips: Amazing, you just hang something in your closet for a little while and it shrinks two sizes.

He looks outside — only to see a man breaking into his storage shed.

Within seconds, the sirens could be heard as cars came flying to the location.
Overhead, the police chopper was circling, shining lights on the back yard.
As the officers pulled up, the man in the shed tried to run, but was caught immediately and taken into custody. He was checked for injuries, but none were found.
The commander on the scene walks up to the homeowner, and states, ‘I thought you told us you shot this guy.?
The homeowner calmly replies, ‘I thought you didn’t have any officers available!?
