A guy walks into a bar, and the only other patron is a seal sitting at the far end of the room. After a few minutes, the seal shouts to the man, "I like the way you smell."

After a few more of these compliments, the man asks the bartender about the animal. "That's our Seal of Approval," the bartender replies.

Abe anxiously says, "Yes."

The Hebrew people were sitting around Mt. Sinai. For hours now, Moses had been on top of the mountain, hidden from their gaze by clouds wafting around its top. Sometimes the clouds became dark and you could hear thunder rolling down. The end of the day was approaching and dusk was beginning to set in when suddenly a figure came through the clouds and walked down the steep mountainside carrying a heavy load. It was Moses. Moses set down his load and raised his hands. "Friends," he said, friends, it was hard work and I have done my best. I have negotiated with Him. I used every possible argument I could think of - and I think I was successful. The good news: I brought Him down from fifteen to ten. The bad news: adultery is still in."

"No, you should do it. You do the cooking," says the husband. "No, you should do it. It says in the Bible that the husband should do it," says the wife. The husband replies, "I don't believe that. Show me." So she opens the Bible to the New Testament and shows him the book called "Hebrews."

Four elderly ladies are inside, wide-eyed and white as ghosts. The lady who is driving asks, "Officer, what have I done wrong? I was doing 22, exactly the speed limit!" Smiling, the officer explains that '22' is the name of the route, not the speed limit. "But before you go on," says the policeman, " is everyone in the car alright? The other ladies look like they're really afraid - and they haven't said a word." "Oh, they'll be alright in a minute, officer. We've just left Route '119'."

It was the opening day of the big winter sale. Rumours and the advertising in the local paper were the main reason for the long queue that had formed by 8:30, the opening time, in front of the shop.
A small man pushed his way to the front of the queue, only to be pushed back, amid loud and colourful curses. On the man's second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw and knocked around a bit, and then thrown to the end of the queue again.

When he arrived back at the family farm, Jimmy asked his grandmother for an explanation. "Grandma, why can't I walk on water like my father and his father, and his father before him?" The feeble old grandmother took Jimmy by the hands, looked into his eyes and explained, "That's because your father, grandfather and great-grandfather were born in January ... you were born in July."

During his lecture he told an amusing story which went on for rather a long time. At last he stopped to allow the interpreter to translate it into Japanese, and was very surprised when the man did this in a few seconds, after which all the students laughed loudly.
After the lecture, the writer thanked the interpreter for his good work and then said to him, "Now please tell me how you translated that long story of mine into such a short Japanese one."
"I didn't tell the story at all," the interpreter answered with a smile. "I just said, 'The honourable lecturer has just told a funny story. You will all laugh, please'."

"What are you going to do with the money?" asked the policeman.
"Well, I guess I'm going to buy a driver's license, and maybe some insurance too" he answered.
"Oh, don't listen to him," yelled a woman in the passenger seat. "He's a smart aleck when he's drunk."
This woke up the guy in the back-seat, who took one look at the cop and moaned, "I knew we wouldn't get far in a stolen car."

"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replies, "I see millions of stars."

Watson ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Timewise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."
