BIG BAD DOG
Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign saying; DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG! posted on the glass door. Inside he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor besides the cash register.
He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to beware of?"
"Yep, that's him," he replied.
The stranger couldn't help but be amused.
"That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?"
"Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him."

Bunny Survival Test
This time of year, marshmallow bunnies seem to crawl out of the woodwork. Though I've watched friends and family devour them by the dozens, I must admit that I don't really like them. (The bunnies, that is.) But if you don't want to eat them, you can always subject them to cruel and unusual survival tests like laser exposure endurance and oxygen deprivation. In fact, it's already been done. See the startling results here. It seems that marshmallow bunnies are rather brave creatures.

SOME SHORT FUNNIES (or funny shorties)
A man is driving with his wife at his side and his mother-in-law in the back seat. The women just won't leave him alone.
His mother-in-law says, "You're driving too fast!" His wife says, "Stay more to the left."
After ten mixed orders, the man turns to his wife and asks, "Who's driving this car - you or your mother?"
There was a very wealthy 70 year-old man who had just married a beautiful 25-year-old young lady.
One of his long time friends said to him, "How did you get that gorgeous woman to marry a 70 year-old guy like you?"
The man leaned over and said to his friend, "It was easy. I simply told her that I was 90 and had heart problems."
Miss Jones had just given her second-grade students a science lesson. She had explained about magnets, and showed how they would pick up nails and other bits of iron. Now it was question time.
Miss Jones said, "My name begins with the letter 'M' and I pick up things. What am I?"
A little boy in the front row proudly said, "You're a mother!
A man went skydiving for the first time. After listening to the instructor for what seemed like days, he was ready to go. Excited, he jumped out of the airplane. About five seconds later, he pulled the ripcord. Nothing happened. He tried again. Still nothing. He started to panic, but remembered his back-up chute. He pulled that cord. Nothing happened. He frantically began yanking both cords to no avail.
Suddenly he looked down, and he couldn't believe his eyes. Another man was in the air with him, but this guy was going up! Just as the other guy passed by, the skydiver yelled, "Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?"
The other guy yelled back, "No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?"
Dr Gordon swears she was a REDHEAD
Dr Gordon was a guest at a chic gathering, and his hostess naturally broached the subject in which he was most at ease.
"Would you mind telling me, Doctor," she asked, "how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?"
"Nothing is easier," Dr Gordon replied. "You ask him a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the right track."
"What sort of question?" asked the hostess.
"Well, you might ask him, īCaptain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?ī "
The hostess thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldnīt happen to have another example would you? I must confess I donīt know much about history."
