Children Writing About the Ocean......
Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson She's not my friend any more any more. Kyle age 6.
When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7)
Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really? (Helen, age 6) - Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves in to chargers. (Christopher, age 7) On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired right up her big fat a**.. (Julie, age 7)
The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown I don't know. (Bobby, age 6)
- My dad was a sailor on the ocean He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom. (James, age 7)

Inspired by Jerry's story elsewhere:
"How's the wife?" "In bed with laryngitis." "Damn those Greeks!"

   Forgetter Be Forgotten? My forgetter's getting better, But my rememberer is broke To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering If I really should be 'there' And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer! Oft times I walk into a room, Say 'what am I here for?' I wrack my brain, but all in vain! A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say 'Hi' and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, 'who the hell was that? Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy And that isn't any joke. CAN YOU RELATE??? I DON'T REMEMBER WHO I SENTTHIS TO!

 I was feeling a little nosey, so I thought I would look in on you and see if you're sitting at your computer and if you're OK. Yup, there you are and you look great!

My Resume 1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. Couldn't concentrate.  2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe. 3 After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn't suited for it -- mainly because it was a sew-sew job. 4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.  5. Then, tried being a Chef--figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn't have the thyme.  6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it... couldn't cut the mustard. 7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually found I wasn't noteworthy.  8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but didn't have any patience.  9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. Tried hard but just didn't fit in.  10. Managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but the work was just too draining.  11. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered I couldn't live on my net income.  12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.  13. After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a Historian - until I realized there was no future in it. 14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but had to quit because it was the same old grind. 15. Finally, I TRIED Retirement AND FOUND I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

7. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
8. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.
9. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.
10. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
11. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
12. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: 'You stay here; I'll go on a head.'
13. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.
14. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: 'Keep off the Grass.'
15. The midget fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.
16. The soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.
17. A backward poet writes inverse.

19. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.
20. If you jumped off the bridge in Paris , you'd be in Seine .
21. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, 'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.'
22. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says 'Dam!'
23. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
24. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.' The other says 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.'
25. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
26. There was the person who sent ten puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

Taken from another forum (translated from German, but the story is funny enough to post here):
How to call the police...
Günther F., an elderly gentleman from Harsum close to Hildesheim, was on his way to bed when his wife pointed out to him that he had left the lights on in the carport. Said Günther F. opened the door to his back garden to switch off the carport light, but saw that there were burglars in the carport, busy stealing implements.
He called the police.
He was asked whether the burglars were with him in his home.
He answered, "No, there are burglars in my carport, busy robbing me."
The officer responded, "All our vehicles are out on calls. Please lock the door to your house. As soon as a patrol vehicle becomes available, I'll dispatch it to your home immediately."
Günther said, "OK", put down the receiver and counted to 30. Then he called the police again.
"Hello, I called you a moment ago, because burglars are stealing things from my carport. You don't need to hurry anymore, as I've shot both of them."
And put the phone down again.
It wasn't five minutes later, and 6 police patrol vehicles, a helicopter, a special forces team, five fire brigade vehicles, one paramedic and an ambulance arrived at the home of the F. couple.
Both burglars were arrested on the spot.
One of the police officers said to Günther, "But you said that you had shot the burglars!"
To which Günther answered, "And you said that no-one was available."
