Two elderly residents of a Florida mobile home park, a widower and a widow, had known each other for years.
One evening, during a community supper, they sat across from each other. As the meal progressed, the widower worked up the courage and asked, “Will you marry me?”
After a thoughtful pause, she smiled and replied, “Yes. Yes, I will.”
They shared a lovely evening and went their separate ways.
The next morning, the widower was troubled. He couldn’t remember if she had said “yes” or “no.”
Nervously, he called her and confessed, “I’m so sorry, but my memory isn’t what it used to be. Last night, when I asked if you’d marry me, did you say yes or no?”
She laughed warmly and said, “I said yes, and I meant it with all my heart!”
Then, with a chuckle, she added, “And I’m so glad you called because I couldn’t remember who asked me!”
A blonde woman was driving about two hours outside of San Diego when she noticed a man waving her down on the side of the road.
His truck had broken down, and as she pulled over, he approached her car.
“Are you heading to San Diego?” he asked.
“Sure am!” she replied. “Do you need a ride?”
“Not for me,” the man said. “I’ll be here fixing my truck for a while. But I have two chimpanzees in the back, and they need to get to the San Diego Zoo. They’re already stressed, and I don’t want them stuck on the road all day. Would you mind taking them for me? I’ll even give you $200 for the trouble.”
“Of course!” the blonde said cheerfully.
The man helped secure the two chimpanzees in her back seat, made sure they were comfortable, and sent them on their way.
Several hours later, as he finally made it into San Diego, the truck driver was stunned by what he saw—there was the blonde, walking down the street, holding hands with the two chimps, while a crowd gathered around, laughing and snapping pictures.
Slamming on his brakes, he jumped out of his truck and ran up to her.
“What on earth are you doing?” he exclaimed. “I gave you $200 to take them to the zoo!”
“I did take them to the zoo,” she said with a smile. “But we had some money left over, so now we’re headed to SeaWorld!”
