Joke of the day – The oldest profession
A doctor, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world. The doctor remarked, “Well, in the Bible it says that God created Eve from a rib taken from Adam. This clearly required surgery, so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession in the world.”
The civil engineer interrupted and said, “But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor, you are wrong; mine is the oldest profession in the world.”
The computer scientist leaned back in his chair, smiled and said confidently, “Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?”

Joke of the day – Rabbi and Catholic Priest
The rabbi was hit by a bus and first on the spot was his old friend the Catholic priest who thought it was an excellent opportunity for conversation.
“Do you believe in the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost?” whispered the priest.
The rabbi opened his eyes. “I’m dying and you ask me riddles!”

Joke of the day – Only one wish
Three guys are convicted of a very serious crime, and they’re all sentenced to twenty years in solitary confinement. They’re each allowed one thing to bring into the cell with them.
The first guy asks for a big stack of books. The second guy asks for his wife. And the third guy asks for two hundred cartons of cigarettes.
At the end of the twenty years, they open up the first guy’s cell. He comes out and says, “I studied so hard. I’m so bright now, I could be a lawyer. It was terrific.”
They open up the second guy’s door. He comes out with his wife, and they’ve got five new kids. He says. “It was the greatest thing of my life. My wife and I have never been so close. I have a beautiuful new family. I love it.”
They open up the third guy’s door, and he’s slapping at his pockets, going “Anybody got a match?”
Happiness is …
It’s time to move on…you’ll be ok!
…when we finally let go.

Joke of the day – The busker
It was three in the morning when a busker began playing his banjo outside the bedroom window of a wealthy tycoon.
Eventually the window was opened. “What do you think you are doing waking me up in the wee hours of the morning?”
“Listen, mate,” said the busker. “I don’t tell you how to run your business, so don’t tell me how to run mine!”
