26. George, who lived in Ashland, Oregon, loved his RV, but he also dreamed of going to Hawaii. One day, while walking along the beach, George stumbled over a genie in a magic lamp who granted him a single wish. “I’ve always wanted to explore the island of Maui in my motorhome, but I can’t afford to ship it there. I wish for you to build a bridge from Oregon to Hawaii so I can fulfill my dream.” The genie replied, “That’s impossible. The ocean is far too deep to build a bridge across. Even a genie such as I can’t do it. You have to wish for something else.” George thought for a moment, then he said, “I don’t understand women. I wish to understand how they think and what they want.” The genie paused, then said, “Do you want two lanes or four on that bridge?”

This genie knows that it’s more impossible to understand women than it is to build a bridge across the ocean.

After five minutes or so, the young lad wanders back to the campfire.

“In your tent,” the boy replies.

The boy doesn’t seem to like camping with his dad too much.

“What if we get lost?” Says one of them.

“Fire three times up in the air, every hour on the hour,” says the other, “I saw it on TV.”

Sure enough, one of the hunters gets lost, so he fires three times up into the air every hour on the hour.

The next day the other hunter finds his friend with the help of the Forest Ranger. “Why didn’t you do what I said?” asked the hunter.

“I did! I fired three times up into the air every hour on the hour, until I ran out of arrows.”

Apparently, the friend didn’t think to check the sky for arrows in case his friend got lost.

After eating their dinner around the campfire they retire to the tent to go to sleep. A few hours later Sherlock wakes up.

“Watson, are you awake?” He asks.

“Yes, sir. What is it?” Answers Watson.

“Look up and tell me what you see.” Asks Holmes.

“I see billions of stars,” says Watson.

“And what does that tell you, Watson,” asks Holmes.

“Well,” says Dr. Watson, “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.” 

“Why? – What does it tell you, Holmes?”

Holmes is quiet for a moment then says: “It tells me that someone has stolen our tent.”

So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it.

Later they get together.

The priest begins: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his first communion.”

“I found a bear by the stream,” says the minister, “and preached God’s holy word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.”

They both look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a gurney in a body cast.

“Looking back,” he says, “maybe I shouldn’t have started with the circumcision.”

The rabbi learned a great life lesson that day: never circumcise a bear. 

 

33. It was late in the day when a fully loaded minivan pulled into the only remaining campsite.

As soon as it stopped, the doors flew open and four children jumped out.

The camper in the space next to them marveled at the children’s father, “I’ve never seen such teamwork nor a camp that was ready so quickly. I’m impressed.”

The father turned to the neighbor and nodded sagely.

This dad has a great system going. His kids don’t slack on getting the campsite set up.

After having a hard time spraying mosquito repellent inside the camp and our sleeping bags, we slid into our sleeping bags. He ranted about those flying creatures and thought they would suck the life out of him. As I was about to fall asleep, he let out a scream. I saw fireflies buzzing around us. When I asked him what had bothered him, he replied,” The mosquitoes are back again! This time they have brought torches with them!”

Apparently, this rich kid had never seen fireflies and was very scared of them.

 

36. Teacher: “If I gave you 2 tents and another 2 tents and another 2, how many would you have?”

Johnny: “Seven.”

Teacher: “No, listen carefully… If I gave you two tents, and another two tents and another two, how many would you have?”

Johnny: “Seven.”

Teacher: “Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?”

Johnny: “Six.”

Teacher: “Good. Now if I gave you two tents, and another two tents and another two, how many would you have?”

Johnny: “Seven!”

Teacher: “Johnny, where, in the heck, do you get seven from?!”

Johnny: “Because I already own a tent!”

Johnny can count, but he made his teacher very mad at him.

At night, my wife awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to me, she insisted on trying to find her mother. 

I picked up my rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, we came upon a chilling sight, the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large bear stood facing her. 

My wife cried, “What are we going to do?” 

“Nothing,” I said. “The bear got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it.

Some men have a hard time with their mother-in-law, so this guy felt bad for the bear. 

 

39. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

The hitchhiker then asks “What’s the deal with these numbers?”

The old man replies: “We’ve been telling each other jokes for such a long time that we memorized and numbered them all, and now only refer to them by numbers.”

A few minutes after hearing that, the hitchhiker says “984”, and the couple heartily laughs for quite some time. The hitchhiker asks, “Is it that funny?”

This couple has started to find numbers funny by referring to jokes with numbers.
