Добрый день, уважаемые подписчики. Специально для тех,
кто недавно подписался на нашу рассылку сообщаю, что в четверг-пятницу
мы
делаем выпуск, посвящённый исключительно юмору (анекдоты, шутки и т.д.)
на
английском языке. Не спешите отписываться! По понедельникам выходит
настоящий
выпуск, посвящённый каким-нибудь проблемам, трудностям и интересностям
английского
языка. Так что даже если трудно понимать юмор (всё-таки надеюсь, что вы
разберётесь),
ждите понедельника. А в середине недели мы отдыхаем, наслаждаясь
английским
юмором или шуткам на английском языке. Сегодня вашему вниманию предлагаю
так
называемые family jokes. Это тоже довольно интересный пласт шуток, так
что
незамедлительно отправляемся в путь!

Three boys are at school bragging of how great
their fathers are. The first one says: "Well, my father runs the
fastest.
He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before
the
arrow". The second one says: "Ha! You think that's fast! My
father
is a hunter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet".
The
third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says:
"You
two know nothing about fast. My father works for the city. He stops
working
at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45"!!

Two young boys were discussing their parents,
when one realized he really knew very little about his mother. Arriving
home
that evening, he gave her a third degree examination. "How old are
you?"
he asked. "None of your business," replied his mother,
shortly.
"Okay, then how much do you weigh?" "That's not your
business
either, young man." The boy thinks a minute, then delivers his
final
bombshell. "Well then, can you tell me why you and daddy got
divorced?"
Shocked and appalled, mom sends junior to bed without supper. The next
day,
the kid reports his failure to his schoolmate. "I know!" says
his
buddy, "Just look at her driver's license in her purse. It'll tell
you
everything you want to know." Later that day, mom finds her son
next
to her disemboweled purse, holding her driver's license. "Just what
the
heck do you think you are doing?" she yells. "Well, you
wouldn't
tell me what I wanted to know," says the junior detective,
"but
my friend said it's all right here. See, you're 40 years old...you weigh
145
pounds...and daddy divorced you because you got an 'F' in Sex."

Joe Neanderthal was banging two pieces of flint
together trying to start a fire, when his wife came running up.
"Joe,
Joe," she cried. "A sabre-toothed tiger is chasing my
mother."
"So," said Joe. "Why should I care what happens to a
Sabre-toothed
tiger?"

"I hate my mother-in-law," Larry tells
his buddy Harry. "But without her, you wouldn't have your
wife."
"And that's another reason why I hate her."

An elderly woman rushed up the stairs to the church,
late for the wedding. An usher asked to see her invitation. "I
don't
have one," she said. "Well then, are you a friend of the
groom?"
"I should say not," snapped the woman, "I'm the bride's
mother."

Although up in years, Pete's mother-in-law was
determined to learn how to drive. On her very first time behind the
wheel,
she moaned, "Pete, I don't know what to do!" Pete hesitated,
and
then softly said, "Just imagine I'm doing the driving."

My wife and I had just moved into the neighborhood.
We received a card from Sears (the camp of the enemy) saying "since
you
are new in town, would you like to apply for a credit card?" Sure,
we
decided, filled out the application and returned it. Several weeks later
we
got a rejection from Sears saying "Sorry, we cannot issue to you a
credit
card." Reason? "You haven't been in town long
enough."

Payment Plan : While on a shopping expedition,
I mistakenly handed the salesperson my blood-donor card to pay for one
of
my purchases. He looked at it and then gave it back, saying "That's
all
right, lady. We still only want money."

My wife is such a bad cook that, when I wake up
in the morning, all the roaches have hung themselves on dental
floss.

My little nephew was explaining to me that his
father's friend was deaf and had to speak with his hands. I asked my
nephew
how his father's friend shouted in sign language. His reply: "He
doesn't
have to, he doesn't have any kids."

A couple I know recently adopted a Chinese baby
girl, and were showing her to friends. A neighbor came by to admire the

speaking
Chinese?"

Larry goes to see his travel agent. "Hey
Larry, going away on holiday again?" "Yes but I need to ask
for
something different" "Go ahead ask me" "You know
last
year you suggested Hawaii and when I returned my wife was pregnant"
"Yes
but ..." " And the year before you suggested Bermuda and when
I
returned my wife was pregnant" "Yes but.." " And the
year
before that when I went to Bali and when I returned my wife was
pregnant"
" Yes" "Well! Could you suggest something cheaper this
year
so that I can bring her with me?"

As an extremely talkative child, I never realized
how exhausting my constant chatter must have been for my family until
one
day at the dentist's office. The dentist informed my mother that, for a
11-year-old,
I seemed to have very small teeth. My harried mother replied, "Wind
erosion."

A woman and her lover are on the bed in the woman's
home, when all of a sudden, they hear the front door open and close.
"Oh,
no, it's my husband!" The man says, "Where's your back
door?"
"We don't have a back door" says the woman. The man then asks,
"Well,
where do you want a back door?"

My husband and I had just finished tucking our
five young ones into bed one evening when we heard sobbing coming from
three-
year-old Billy's room. Rushing to his side, we found him crying
hysterically.
He had accidentally swallowed a penny and was sure he was going to die.
No
amount of talking could change his mind. Desperate to calm him, my
husband
palmed a penny that he happened to have in his pocket and pretended to
pull
it from Billy's ear. Billy was delighted. In a flash, he snatched it
from
my husband's hand, swallowed it and demanded cheerfully, "Do it
again,
Dad!"

An American couple have five children. Their names
are Rudy, Larry, Johnny, Adam, and ... Ding Kong Wong. They called their
fifth
child Ding Kong Wong because the survey said every 5 babies borned to
this
world, one of them is Chinese.

Yesterday I bought a coconut for my 16 year old
daughter. I then realized we have been living too long, to far away from
nature.
She said: "This white stuff inside smells like shampoo."

The old Jewish man was walking on the beach with
his only grandson, when a giant wave crashes on shore, sweeping the boy
out
to sea. The man looks up to the heavens and says: "Oh Lord, this is
my
only grandson. How can you take him away from me like this? My son will
not
understand. My daughter-in-law will die from grief." Another wave
comes
by, and deposits the boy at the old man's feet. The grandfather looks to
the
heavens again and says, "He had a hat!"
