After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

A woman had a dental exam with a new dentist. She saw his name on his DDS diploma and thought of tall, dark-haired boy in her high school class whom she had a crush on some 40-odd year ago. She wondered if it might be the same person
When the dentist came into the exam room, she decided that the balding, gray-haired man with deeply lined face was too old to be her classmate.
After the exam she asked if he had ever attended Morgan Park High School.
"Yes. Yes, I did." The dentist replied.
"What year did you graduate?" she asked.
"1978. Why do you ask?" he answered.
"You were in my class!" she exclaimed.
He looked at her closely. Then that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat, gray, decrepit so-of-a-bitch asked her, "What did you teach?"
A Rabbi's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the Rabbi's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
After six children, this started to get expensive, and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the Rabbi's expanding salary.
A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the Rabbi's additional children were costing the shul, and how much more it could potentially cost.
After listening to them for about an hour, the Rabbi rose from his chair and spoke, "Children are a gift from God and we will take as many gifts as He gives us."
Silence fell on the congregation.
In the back of the shul, little old Mrs. Goldberg struggled to stand, and finally said in her frail voice, "RAIN is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers!"
The entire congregation said, "Amen!"

A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."
What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Ok, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"
"We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really."
"What about that eye patch?"
"Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them crapped in my eye."
"You're kidding," said the bartender, "You couldn't lose an eye just from some bird crap."
"Yeah, but It was my first day with the hook."

Three men are discussing their previous night's lovemaking.
The Italian says, "My wife, I rubbed her all over with fine olive oil, then we make wonderful love. She screamed for five minutes."
The Frenchman says, "I smooth sweet butter on my wife's body, then we made passionate love. She screamed for 20 minutes."
The Jewish man says, "I covered my wife's body with schmaltz [chicken fat]. We made love and she screamed for six hours."
The others say, "SIX HOURS? How did you make her scream for six hours?"
He shrugs. "I wiped my hands on the drapes."

One day an out of work mime is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. Unfortunately, as soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper grabs him and drags him into his office.
The zookeeper explains to the mime that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mime accepts.
So the next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before crowd comes. He discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime. However, eventually the crowds tire of him and he tires of just swinging on tires.
He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it. At the end of the day the zoo-keeper comes and gives the mime a raise for being such a good attraction.
Well, this goes on for some time, the mime keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion, he slips and falls. The mime is terrified. The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce.
The mime is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind. Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling,
"Help, Help me!" but the lion is quick and pounces.
The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says,
"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?"

A military commander calls his soldiers and says: "the first one of you that gets rid of the mole in my garden will get a promotion!"
One of the soldiers goes in and catches it. "So now what do I do with it, sir?" Asks the soldier to the commander.
"Oh well..." said the commander, considering many options : "That mole made a hell of a mess in my garden... so please, punish it with the worst thing you can think of".
So the soldier goes in the back of the garden, and after a few hours comes back.
"So... what did you do to the mole?" Asked the commander.
"Ohoh! Commander!" The soldier laughed: "I did the most horrible thing ever! Try to take a guess!"
"Did you... cut it in pieces while it was still conscious?"
"Even worse!"
"Hmm... did you throw him to the rabid dogs?"
"Even worse!"
"Oh my god! What the hell did you do to that mole?!"
"I buried him alive!"
