    ***** Man overboard *****
    A gawky lad from New England came to New York with his girl, and took her to nearby Playland Amusement Park. They had heard a lot about the Tunnel of Love and were especially anxious to try it out. But when they got home, the kids expressed disappointment.
    "Shucks," the boy said, "it was dark and damp and uncomfortable. Besides, we got soaking wet."
    "How come?" asked a friend. "Did the boat leak?"
    The kid looked amazed. "There's a boat?"

    ***** Kid's logic *****
    A Stanford University professor took his young son with him on a trip across the country. One day after their return, a package was delivered with postage due. Neither the professor nor his wife had the necessary $3, but their son produced it. Surprised, his mother asked how he came to have that much money. "Well," he said, "Dad was awfully careless with money on our trip and nearly always left some on the table when we ate. So I just picked it up."

    ***** Man up! *****
    Three rough-looking bikers stomp into a truck stop where a grizzled old-timer is having breakfast.
    One of the bikers extinguishes his cigarette in the old guy's pancakes. The second biker spits a wad of chewing tobacco into his coffee. The third biker dumps the whole plate onto the floor.
    Without a word of protest, the old guy pays his bill and leaves.
    "Not much of a man, was he?" says one of the bikers.
    "Not much of a driver, either," says the waitress. "He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."

    ***** Ripe rejoinder *****
    The young father took a seat on the bus next to an elderly man and plopped his one-year-old on his lap, just as the little boy began to cry and fidget.
    "That child is spoiled, isn't he?" the old man remarked.
    "No," said the dad. "They all smell this way."

    ***** On the couch *****
    When my brother began his psychiatric practice, his first patient was a particularly good-looking young woman. My brother motioned for her to lie down on the couch, but the woman hesitated until he reassured her that it was part of the therapy procedure. Once on the couch, she smoothed her dress around her legs and began to relax a bit.
    "Now then," he asked, "how did your trouble begin?"
    "Just like this," she said.

    Who needs a boat?

    Well, there's the little man in the pink canoe. She paddled that pink canoe til the little man puked.

    Just checking -- Are you posting these yourself or is a bot doing it?

    I tried that game, Seven Minutes in Heaven, where two people go into a dark closet for 7 minutes; it ended up being 6 minutes of screeching from her, & a black eye for me. . .
