"Fireman pulling drunk out of burning bed: “You darn fool, that’ll teach you to smoke in bed.” Drunk: “I wasn’t smoking in bed. It was on fire when I laid down."

"A husband came home and found his wife in bed with his best friend. “ Hey, what do you think you’re doing?” said the husband. “See?” she said to the man beside her. “I told you he was stupid."

"My father was never home, he was always away drinking booze. He saw a sign saying DRINK CANADA DRY. So he went up there."
