The last Clinton presidency left a bad taste in my mouth. As we get closer to the 2016 election year, citizens must remember that they cannot even trust Hillary Clinton to create American jobs. The last time she had a meaningful job, she outsourced it to me and I simply blew it." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- An 80-year-old Scotsman went to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor was amazed at what good shape the old fellow was in and asked: 'How do you stay in such great physical condition?' 'I am Scottish and I am a golfer,' said the old fellow: 'and that is why I am in such good shape. I am up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways. I have a wee glass of whisky, and all is well.' 'Well,' said the doctor, 'I am sure that helps, but there has to be more to it. How old was your Dad when he died?' 'Who said my Da's deid?' The doctor was amazed. 'You mean you are 80 years old and your Dad is still alive. How old is he?' 'He is 100 years old,' said the old Scottish golfer. 'In fact he golfed wi' me this mornin', and then we went to the topless beach for a walk and had anither wee dram and that is why he is still alive. He is a Scot and he is a golfer, too.' 'Well,' the doctor said, 'that is great, but I am sure there is more to it than that. How about your Dad's Dad? How old was he when he died?' 'Who said my grandad is deid?' Stunned, the doctor asked, 'You mean you are 80 years old and your grandfather is still living! Incredible, how old is he?' He is 118 years old,' said the old Scottish golfer. The doctor was getting frustrated at this point: 'So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?' 'No. Grandad could nae go this mornin' because he is getting married today.' At this point the doctor was close to losing it. 'Getting married!! Why would a 118 year- old bloke want to get married?' 'Who said he wanted to?' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been so depressed lately that my wife threatened to leave me. Even that didn't cheer me up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- During these serious times, people of all faiths should remember these four religious truths: 1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's chosen people. 2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. 3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world. 4. Baptists do not recognize each other in liquor stores. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A man woke up in hospital after a car accident to find that the left hand side of his body had been amputated. No need for concern though. (I apologise for this in advance ... I am really very sorry ...) The doctors said that he'll be alright.
