6012 - Long joke Sunday


My cousin just called and asked if I would loan her $300.00 to help her pay her rent. 

Those who know me, know that I'm always willing to help out friends and family. 

I told her to give me some time to think about it and I would call her back. 

Before I called her back, my aunt called and told me that my cousin was lying and not to give her the money. 

She goes on to say that the real reason my cousin wanted the $300.00 was to get her boyfriend out of jail so she could be under the same roof as him for his birthday. 

I thought about it for a minute and decided to give her the $300.00 because we all need help at times. 

So, I called my cousin and told her to come and get the money. 

A couple of hours later, I got a call from the County Jail. 

It was my cousin crying, screaming, and asking why I gave her counterfeit money. 

My response...so you and your boyfriend could be under the same roof for his birthday!

You really think out of the box Mike! Aloha

River - The police will be knocking on his door next.

Kirk - Me neither.

Sue - Grinning is good for your health.

Bill - I hadn't heard of the monkey paw thing. ... "The term monkey paw can be used in a slang level of language as a verb that means: to wish for something without thinking through the possible consequences."

Deb - Laughing is good for you.

Stu - That went over my head. So I looked up two. "ORIGIN OF TWO - Old English twā (feminine); related to Old High German zwā, Old Norse tvau, Latin, Greek duo"

Kathy - Or two according to Stu.

Cloudia - Or I find others that are wandering outside the box.
