WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MOM

Submitted by Jeri Oliver

While driving her daughter to a sleepover, a mother finds herself fielding a barrage of personal questions from the curious little girl.

“Mommy, how old are you?” the daughter asks.

“Honey, it’s not polite to ask a lady her age,” the mother gently chides.

The little girl then asks, “How much do you weigh?”

“Now, those are personal questions, and really none of your business,” the mother responds.

Not easily dissuaded, the girl asks, “Why did you and Daddy get a divorce?”

“That’s enough questions,” the mother declares.

As they arrive and the daughter joins her friend, she says, “My mom wouldn’t tell me anything.”

Her friend advises her, “Just look at her driver’s license—it’s like a report card, it has everything.”

That evening, the little girl confronts her mother. 

“I know how old you are. You’re 32,” she says.

Surprised, the mother asks, “How did you find that out?”

“And I know you weigh 140 pounds,” the daughter continues.

Astonished, the mother asks, “How in heaven’s name did you find that out?”

With a triumphant grin, the little girl adds, “And I know why you and Daddy got a divorce.”

“Oh, really?” the mother asks. “Why?”

“Because you got an F in sex.”


A POLISH DIVORCE

Submitted by Gerald Knight

One day, a Polish man urgently entered a lawyer’s office requesting a quick divorce.

The lawyer asked, “Do you have any grounds?”

The man replied, “Yes, an acre and a half, and a nice 3-bedroom house.”

“No, I mean what is the basis for the divorce?” the lawyer clarified.

“It’s made of concrete, bricks and mortar,” the man answered.

Frustrated, the lawyer tried a different approach, “Is there any grudge between you two?”

“No, we just have a carport, don’t need a garage,” the man responded.

The lawyer sighed, “I mean, how are your relations with each other?”

“All my relations live in Poland,” said the man.

The lawyer attempted again, “Is there any infidelity in your marriage?”

“Yes, we have a hi-fidelity stereo set and DVD player with 6.1 sound,” the man proudly stated.

“No, I mean, does your wife beat you up?” the lawyer pressed.

“No, I always wake up before her,” the man replied.

Exasperated, the lawyer finally asked, “So why exactly do you want a divorce?”

“She’s going to kill me!” the man exclaimed. “I have proof!”

“What kind of proof?” asked the lawyer.

“She’s planning to poison me. She bought a bottle at the drugstore, and I read the label. It said ‘Polish Remover.’”
