Tickle Your Funny Bone

· An old man lived alone in Austria. He wanted to dig his potato garden, but it required a lot of hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison for bank robbery. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his wish. Shortly, he received this reply, “For heaven’s sake Dad, don’t dig up that garden, that is where I buried the money.” The next day, a dozen policemen came and dug up the entire garden, without finding any money. Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asking him what to do next. His son’s reply was: “Now plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do from here.

· An elderly man and woman were dating for about five years. The man finally decided her to ask her to marry him. She immediately said “Yes”. The next morning when he woke up, he couldn’t remember what her answer was! “Was she happy? I think so. Wait, or did she say number…” After about an hour of trying to remember, he gave her a call. Embarrassed, he admitted that he did not remember her answer to the marriage proposal. “Oh”, she said, “I am so glad you called. I remembered saying ‘yes’ to someone, but I couldn’t remember who it was.”
