The Letter Beneath the Bed
Every marriage has its share of frustrations, particularly when one partner starts to feel unappreciated. This humorous tale takes that feeling to the next level, as a wife attempts to teach her husband a lesson—only to end up surprised by his reaction.
Annoyed that her husband was once again late coming home, a woman decided to send him a message. She scribbled a note that read, “I’m done. I’ve left you. Don’t bother looking for me.”
Then, curious about his response, she slipped under the bed to watch what would happen next.

A short while later, her husband returned home. She could hear him in the kitchen before he stepped into the bedroom. She watched as he approached the dresser, picked up the note, and paused. After a moment, he scribbled something on it, then grabbed the phone and dialed a number.
“She’s finally gone… Yeah, I know, it’s about time, right? I’m on my way to see you. Wear that French nightie I love so much… Can’t wait to see you… We’ll do all those naughty things you enjoy.

He hung up, grabbed his keys, and walked out.
She listened as the car engine faded into the distance before cautiously crawling out from under the bed. Her heart pounded, her hands trembled with anger and unshed tears. What had he written?
Snatching the note from the table, she unfolded it with shaky fingers.
“I can see your feet. We’re out of bread. Be back in five minutes.”
The Mischievous Grandmas on a Bench
Three mischievous grandmas sat on a bench outside their nursing home, laughing like schoolgirls sharing a secret.
A nurse passing by gave them a knowing look. “Now, now, ladies,” she chided playfully. “Get your sunshine before tea time. And try to behave!”
Her words only made them laugh harder.
That’s when they spotted an elderly man strolling past—an opportunity for some harmless fun.
The grandmas exchanged grins. Let the mischief begin.

“We bet we can guess your exact age!” one of the grandmas called out to him.
The old man scoffed, shaking his head.
“There’s no chance you three old bats can figure that out.”
“Oh, we definitely can!” another grandma chimed in confidently. “Just drop your pants, and we’ll tell you exactly how old you are!”
“What?” he blurted out, utterly bewildered.

Flustered but curious, the old man lowered his pants, the sunlight illuminating his backside.
The grandmas peered closely, murmuring to each other before declaring in unison, “You’re 91 years old!”
“How on earth did you figure that out?” the old man asked, stunned.
The grandmas chuckled, exchanging knowing glances.
“Because we were at your birthday party yesterday!” one grandma said, as the other two burst into laughter once more.

Refrigerator Mayhem Unleashed!
Convinced his wife was hiding something, a man rushed home early, suspicion burning in his gut. He stormed through the house, checking every room, every corner, desperate for proof.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted something—a man sitting in a Volkswagen just outside.
His pulse spiked. Was this the evidence he had been looking for?

Furious, he grabbed the refrigerator and heaved it out the window, aiming for the clueless pedestrian below. The effort was too much—his heart seized, and he collapsed, dead on the spot.
Up in heaven, St. Peter heard his tale and immediately sent him straight to hell.
Moments later, the man from the Volkswagen arrived, dazed and confused, explaining that he had been minding his own business when a fridge suddenly fell from the sky and crushed him.
St. Peter let out a weary sigh and shook his head before sending him down as well.

Finally, a third man showed up, shaking, and admitted, “I don’t even know what went wrong. One second, I was hiding inside a fridge…”

Upon arriving home, a husband was greeted at the door by his tearful wife.
Through sobs, she blurted out, “It’s the pharmacist! He insulted me terribly over the phone this morning!”
Fury ignited in the husband’s chest. Without hesitation, he grabbed his keys and sped off to the pharmacy, determined to give that pharmacist a piece of his mind.
But before he could get a single word out, the pharmacist raised a hand and said, “Now, just a minute—let me explain!
“This morning, my alarm didn’t go off, so I woke up late…”

“I skipped breakfast and rushed to the car, only to realize I’d locked the house with both my house and car keys still inside. I had to smash a window to grab my keys. Then, driving a bit too fast, I got slapped with a speeding ticket. Later, just three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. By the time I finally opened up, a crowd was already waiting. And the whole time, the phone wouldn’t stop ringing.”

“Then I had to break open a roll of coins against the cash register drawer to make change, but they spilled all over the floor. I dropped to my hands and knees to gather them up, and of course, the phone kept ringing.
When I finally stood up, I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, staggering back into a showcase full of perfume bottles. You wouldn’t believe it— all of them crashed to the floor and shattered.
Meanwhile, the phone wouldn’t stop ringing. It just wouldn’t stop! By the time I managed to pick up the receiver, I was a mess.”**

“It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer, and I swear, as God is my witness, all I did was explain it to her.”
Dear Old George’s Annual Health Inspection
Every year without fail, George made sure to attend his annual check-up. He took pride in staying fit and healthy, often walking around the neighborhood, though his eyesight had noticeably worsened with age.
After his appointment, George sat chatting with his doctor, eagerly sharing his latest revelation.
“Doc, I’m truly blessed,” he said. “God knows my eyes are failing, so He turns on the light when I pee and switches it off when I’m done!”

The doctor chuckled, but his curiosity couldn’t be shaken. Later that day, he decided to call George’s wife.
“Maria,” he began, “Your husband’s test results are perfectly fine. But he mentioned something odd! He says that God turns the lights on and off for him when he uses the bathroom at night.”
Maria burst into laughter.
“That old fool! He’s been peeing in the refrigerator again! I thought it was the dog!”

A Lunch to Remember… Or Forget?
While on a road trip, an elderly couple pulled over for lunch at a charming roadside diner. After savoring their meal, they got back into the car and continued their journey.

To add to the frustration, it took them forever to locate a spot to turn around.

At last, they reached the diner.

Unveiling the Family Secret
Family secrets often come as a surprise, but they can also lead to some of the funniest and most unexpected tales. In this story, a young man’s excitement about his upcoming wedding takes an unexpected turn when his father drops a bombshell, setting the stage for a hilarious revelation.
One Sunday morning, George rushed into the living room and excitedly announced, “Dad! Mom! I have fantastic news! I’m marrying the most stunning girl in town. She lives just a block away, and her name is Susan.”

After dinner, George’s father pulled him aside and said, “Son, we need to have a serious conversation. Take a good look at your mom, George. Your mother and I have been married for three decades. She’s an amazing wife and mother, but when it comes to intimacy, things have never been particularly exciting. So, I had affairs with other women. Susan, by the way, is your half-sister, and I need to tell you, you can’t marry her.”
George was devastated. It took him eight months to begin dating again. A year later, he returned home and proudly declared, “Diane said yes! We’re getting married in June.”

Once again, his father requested a private chat and delivered some disappointing news. “Diane is also your half-sister, George. I’m truly sorry for this,” he said.
George was furious! After some thought, he decided to confide in his mother about what his father had revealed.
“Dad’s ruined everything. I don’t think I’ll ever get married,” he grumbled. “Every time I fall for someone, Dad tells me she’s my half-sister.”

His mother chuckled, shaking her head. “Don’t listen to him. He’s not really your father.”

“What’s your secret, Derek?” a guest asked.
“I’ll tell you,” Grandpa replied, scooping up a bite of cake. “I’ve been out in the open air, day after day, for about 75 years now.”
The crowd gasped in awe.

“How did you manage to stick to such a strict fitness routine?” someone inquired.
“Well,” Grandpa replied, his eyes sparkling as he glanced at Gran. “On our wedding night, my wife and I made a promise. Whenever we disagreed, the person at fault would step outside and go for a walk!”

“Honey,” he nervously explained, “Mary was the name of the horse I placed a bet on last week at the racetrack!”

“Watch out!” he shouted. “Watch out! Add more butter! Oh no! You’re cooking too many at once. Way too many! Flip them now! We need more butter. Oh no! Where are we going to find more butter?! They’re going to stick! Be careful! Be careful! I told you to be careful! You never listen when you’re cooking! Never! Flip them! Hurry! Don’t forget to salt them! You always forget to salt them. Use the salt!”

The husband answered calmly, “Of course, you do. I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I’m behind the wheel.”

“I know it’s not my place, but you were incredible in there! William is really fortunate to have you as his grandfather.”
The elderly man grinned and then laughed.
“Thanks, but I’m William. This little one’s name is Kevin!”

“I really hope I don’t get that forgetful,” she remarked.
She knocked on wood for luck, then shouted.
“I’ll come up to help both of you as soon as I figure out who’s at the door!”

“Just one,” the young man confessed.
“Only one?” the manager snapped. “Our salespeople usually deal with 20 to 30 customers daily. What did you even manage to sell?”
The young man squared his shoulders and responded, “I sold a fishing hook, followed by a rod, then a boat, and finally a 4×4 truck to haul it.”
Shocked, the manager gasped, “All of that to a single customer? How did you manage that?”

The groom admitted to his pastor that he had horribly smelly feet and feared his bride wouldn’t be able to tolerate them. The pastor suggested he wash his feet regularly and wear socks to bed.
At the same time, the bride confessed to the pastor’s wife that her morning breath was so foul, she worried it might ruin their marriage. She was advised to wake up early every day, brush her teeth, and gargle before speaking to her husband.
For months, their plan went off without a hitch. Then, one morning, the groom woke up and realized one of his socks was missing.

“You know,” he began, “I’m at a loss. Every time I come home after we’ve been out drinking, I switch off the headlights before reaching the driveway. I cut the engine and glide into the garage. I slip off my shoes before stepping inside, tiptoe up the stairs, change in the bathroom, and quietly slide into bed—yet my wife still wakes up and scolds me for staying out too late!”

His friend looked at him and said, “Clearly, you’re going about it all wrong. I zoom into the driveway, slam the car door, stomp up the steps, use the toilet with the full flush, toss my shoes into the closet, undress in the bedroom, then jump into bed and ask, ‘Do you want to make love?’ And every single time, she acts like she’s fast asleep!”

The Card Game Memory Lapse
Two elderly women, lifelong friends, met several times a week to play cards.
One day, during their game, one of the women squinted at the other.
“Now, don’t get upset with me,” she said, “I know we’ve been friends for years, but I can’t seem to remember your name. I’ve tried and tried, but it just won’t come to me. Please, remind me what it is.”
Her friend stared at her for a few moments, then smiled sheepishly.
“How soon do you need to know?” she asked.

The rules are straightforward: each floor presents more attractive men, but once a woman moves up, she can’t go back down.
One woman decided to take the plunge. She entered the store and read the signs on each floor.
Floor 1: “These men have jobs.”
Floor 2: “These men have jobs and love kids.”
Floor 3: “These men have jobs, love kids, and are good-looking.”

On Floor 5, the sign declared: “These men have stable jobs, adore children, are incredibly handsome, assist with chores, and possess a passionate romantic side.”
She was tempted to pause her search right there and find herself a perfect husband, but curiosity got the better of her. She couldn’t help but wonder what extraordinary men might be waiting on the store’s top floor.
After some hesitation, she decided to press on and climbed up to the final floor.
