Morning Jokes

English School

Donald MacDonald from Scotland went to study at an English university
and was living in the hall of residence with all the other students
there. After he had been there a month, his mother came to visit him
(no doubt carrying reinforcements of tatties, salt herring, oatmeal
and whisky).
"And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.
"Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people. The one on
that side keeps banging his head on the wall and won't stop. The one
on the other side screams and screams all night."
"Oh Donald! How do you manage to put up with these awful noisy English
neighbours?"
"Mother, I do nothing. I just ignore them. I just stay here quietly,
playing my bagpipes."

Collectibles
Fresh out of high school, I found a job cleaning the elegant home of
an older couple. Among other duties, I had to dust their many imported
carvings and petrified collectibles as well as pick up after their
pets.
One day, I was astonished to find two ivory fossils lying on the floor
beside the bookcase. I quickly picked them up and put them back on the
shelf. The next week, the same thing happened.
That afternoon, my employer came into the parlor, her faithful canine
behind her. Looking around, she eyed the bookcase.
"Tippy," she asked the dog, "how do your bones keep getting up there?"

Dog names
"Nice dog. What's its name?" I asked my friend's 10-year old son.
"Bob," he said.
"And what's your cat's name?"
"Bob."
"Well, how do you keep them straight?" I asked.
"Well, one is Bob Cat and the other is Bob Barker," the boy answered.
"Go ahead and tell him your rabbit's name," his father suggested.
The kid smiled and said... "Dennis Hopper."
