A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea captain. "What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the starboard?"

"Throw out an anchor, sir."

"What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?"

"Throw out another anchor, sir."

"And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do?"

"Throw out another anchor."

"Hold on," said the Captain, "where are you getting all your anchors from?"

"From the same place you're getting your storms, sir."

Driving in Nevada, a man stops at gas station with sign out front that says: LAST STATION FOR MILES

He fills up and goes in to pay. He tells the attendant, "Your sign is untruthful. I can see at least three more stations down this road. Why the lie?"

The attendant grins and replied, "I'm Miles!"

A crab and a lobster are secretly dating. Pretty soon, the lobster tires of the lying and tells her father, who forbids her to see the crab anymore.

"It'll never work, honey," he says to her. "Crabs walk sideways and we walk straight."

"Please," she begs her father. "Just meet him once. I know you'll like him."

Her father finally relents and agrees to a one-time meeting. She runs off to share the good news with her crab sweetheart.

The crab is so excited he decides to surprise his beloved's family. He practices and practices until he can finally walk straight, and on the big day, he walks the entire way to the lobster's house as straight as he can.

Standing on the porch and seeing the crab walking toward him, the lobster father yells to his daughter.

"I knew it," he shouts. "Here comes that crab, and he's drunk."

This woman could never get her husband to do anything around the house.

He would come home from work, sit in front of the TV, eat dinner, and sit some more. He would never do those little household repairs that most husbands take care of. This frustrated the woman quite a bit.

One day the toilet stopped up. When her husband got home, she said sweetly, "Honey, the toilet is clogged. Would you look at it?"

Her husband snarled, "What do I look like? The Tidy-Bowl man?" and sat down on the sofa.

The next day, the garbage disposal wouldn't work. When her husband got home she said, very nicely, "Honey, the disposal won't work. Would you try to fix it for me?"
Once again, he growled, "What do I look? Mr. Plumber?"

The next day, the washing machine was on the blink. When her husband got home, she steeled her courage and said, "Honey, the washer isn't running. Would you check on it?"

And again she was met with a snarl, "What do I look like? The Maytag repairman?"

Finally, she had had enough. The next morning, the woman called three repairmen to fix the toilet, the garbage disposal, and the washer.

When her husband got home, she said, "Honey, I had the repairmen out today."

He frowned, "Well, how much is that going to cost?"

"Well, honey, they all said I could pay them by baking them a cake or having sex with them."

"Well, what kind of cakes did you bake them?"

She smiled. "What do I look like, BETTY CROCKER?"

At my granddaughter's wedding, the DJ polled the guests to see who had been married the longest. Since it turned out to be my husband and me, the DJ asked us, "What advice would you give to the newly married couple?"

I said, "The three most important words in a marriage are, 'You're probably right.'"

Everyone then looked expectantly at my husband.

"She's probably right," he said.

Here's one I enjoy and also about the founder of Buddhism:

In Buddhism, it's required that people who join the Order [Sangha] must beg for food. People are not obligated to give them alms, but they do so just as some one donates in the collection plate.

In a village where the Buddha was collecting his alms, a row of people gathered as to put food in the begging bowl of the wandering monks. However one man entered the line not to give alms.

When the Buddha reached the man, the man verbally abused the Buddha scolding, "I hear you are wise. What's a wise man doing begging for table scraps? If you are wise, you would get a job like the rest of us instead of free loading. Why don't you say something wise unless you are indeed a fool?"

The Buddha asked "If you present a gift to someone who refuses to accept your gift; to whom does the gift belong to?"

The man replied, "To him who gifted the present. Why?"

The Buddha cunningly responded, "Then I refuse your gift of abuse, for now you shall receive it back." He got many dirty looks from the villagers immediately afterwards.

A carpet layer had just finished installing carpet for a lady.

He stepped out for a smoke, only to realize he'd lost his cigarettes. He went back in and in the middle of the room, under the carpet, was a bump. "No sense pulling up the entire floor for one pack of smokes," he said to himself.

He got out his hammer and flattened the hump.

As he was cleaning up, the lady came in. "Here," she said, handing him his pack of cigarettes. "I found them in the hallway."

"Now," she said, "If only I could find my parakeet."

During an election campaign, a city hall reporter who is covering the campaigns goes into a hospital and tells the nurse at the desk, "I want to see the eye-ear doctor."

"There is no such doctor," the nurse says. "Perhaps you would like to see someone else?"

"No, I need to see an eye-ear doctor," the reporter says.

"But there is no such doctor," the nurse replies. "We have doctors for the eyes and doctors for the ear, nose and throat, but no eye-ear doctor."

"I'm telling you, I want to see the eye-ear doctor."

"And I'm telling you," the nurse says, "that there is no eye-ear doctor. But if there were one, why would you want to see her?"

"Because," the reporter replies, "I keep hearing one thing and seeing another."

Okay, now that Buddhism has been brought up that reminds me, and its probably been mentioned before:

A Buddhist walks up to a hot dog vendor and says, "Make me one with everything."
