Savings Plan:
As a painless way to save money, a young couple arranged that every time they have sex the husband puts his pocket change into a china piggy bank on the bedside table.

coins, there are handfuls of five and ten dollar bills.

Ancient Writings
A team of archaeologists was excavating in Israel when they came upon a cave. Written on the wall of the cave were the following symbols in order of appearance.
1. A woman
2. A donkey
3. A shovel
4. A fish
5. A Star of David
They decided that this was a unique find and the writings were at least more than three thousand years old. They chopped out the piece of stone and had it brought to the museum where archaeologists from all over the world came to study the ancient symbols. They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss whatthey could agree was the meaning of the markings. The President of their society stood up and pointed at the first drawing and said: "This looks like a woman. We can judge that this race was family oriented and held women in high esteem. You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol resembles a donkey, so, they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil. The next drawing looks like a shovel of some sort, which means they even had tools to help them. Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that if they had a famine hit the earth, whereby the food didn't grow, they would take to the sea for food. The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews."
The audience applauded enthusiastically and the President smiled and said, "I'm glad to see that you are all in full agreement with our interpretations."
Suddenly a little old man stood up in the back of the room and said, "I object to every word. The explanation of what the writings say is quite simple. First of all, everyone knows that Hebrews don't read from left to right, but from right to left... Now, look again... It now says:
"'Holy Mackerel, Dig The Ass On That Woman!'"

Can You Give Me Something For This?:
A man gets a priapism and decides to get help for it. So he goes a pharmacy to see if there's any medicine for it. He walks in, and there's a lady behind the counter. She says to him, "Can I help you?" He responds, "I'd like to speak to the pharmacist."
She replies, "I am the pharmacist." He asks, "Is there a male pharmacist available?" She responds, "There is no male pharmacist here. My sister and I are co-owners of this pharmacy. I would appreciate your telling me whatever you would tell a male pharmacist." He mumbles, "Well, ok" and he unzips his fly, pulls out his penis, and there's the priapism. He says, "It's been like this for three days and I don't think it's going to go down. Can you give me something for it?" The pharmacist responds, "Let me go back in the back room and consult with my sister about this." A few minutes later, she comes back out front and says, "We can give you $500."
It's The Results That Count:

Sign Language:
There was this construction worker, Steve, on the 3rd floor of this unfinished building. Steve needed a hand saw but was too lazy to go down and get it himself. So he tried to call to his fellow worker, Joe, on the ground to get it for him, but Joe could not hear a word he said. So Steve started to give signs to Joe so that Joe could understand him. First Steve pointed to his eyes (meaning "I"), then pointed at his knees (meaning "need"), and moved his hand back and forth describing the movement of a hand saw. Finally, Joe started shaking his head like he understood and dropped his pants and started to jack off.
Steve got pissed and ran down to the ground and started yelling at Joe, "You idiot, I was trying to say, 'I need a hand saw!'"
Joe replied, "I know, I was trying to tell you that I'm coming..."
