A lonely man went into the local pet store looking for an unusual pet as a companion. The owner suggested a centipede. "What sort of a companion would a centipede be?" the man asked.
"This is the most unusual centipede," the store owner said. "He's a great conversationalist and he loves to drink."
The man took the centipede home and put him in a box on the windowsil. That evening the man asked "Would you like to go out for a beer?"
Receiving no response the man said, "How about it, would you like to join me for a drink at my favorite bar?"
Again there was no response, so the man fairly shouted "Hey, in there! How about going out for a drink?"
To which a tiny voice replied, "I heard you the first time. I'm putting on my shoes."

A man walked into a bar and ordered a beer. He took a sip and heard a voice say, "Nice tie."
The only other person there was the bartender, and he was standing at the opposite end of the bar. A few minutes later, the man heard another voice say, "Beautiful shirt."
The man called the bartneder over. "I must be losing my mind," he said. "I keep hearing voices say nice things."

A man who had been driving all night decided to pull over somewhere quiet to get some sleep. He parked near a jogging trail and settled back to snooze. Just after he fell asleep, there was a knock at his window. He opened his eyes and saw a jogger running in place.
"Excuse me, sir," the jogger said. "Do you have the time?"
The man looked at his watch and answered, "8:10."
The jogger said thank-you and ran off. The man settled back and was just dozing off when there was another knock on the window. A second jogger running in place asked, "Excuse me, sir, do you have the time?"
"8:20," the man said.
The jogger said thank-you and ran off. The man knew it was only a matter of time before another jogger disturbed him, so he put a sign in his window that said I DO NOT KNOW THE TIME!
He fell asleep. Once again he awoke when someone knocked on his window. "Sir, sir?" a jogger said. "It's 8:30!"

"Isn't it obvious?" the doctor said. "You're having Disney spells."

A man owned a farm in Kansas. The Department of Labor received a tip that he was not paying proper wages to his employees. An agent came to interview him and said, "List your employees and tell me how much you pay them."
The farmer said, "I have one ranch hand who's been with me for three years. I pay him $600 a week plus room and board. Then I have a cook. She's been here six months. She gets $400 a week plus room and board."
"Anybody else?" the agent asked as he scribbled on a notepad.
"Yeah," the famer said. "There's a half-wit here. Works about 18 hours a day. I pay him $10 a week and give him chewing tobacco."
"Very interesting," the agent said. "I want to talk to that half-wit."
The farmer replied, "You're talkin' to him right now."
I spent an hour typing this. I regret nothing.
