Title: just havin a little fun
Post by: kodydog on November 20, 2010, 08:28:29 pm
I played a little joke a while back on a high school kid I hired to pull staples. I was out behind my shop stuffing feathers in cushions. As usual feathers were flying everywhere and making quite a mess. When I was done I grabbed three or four in my fist and walked back inside the shop. I faked a slight cough that grew worse and claimed that I must have swallowed some feathers. Each time I coughed I'd bring my fist up to my mouth. The coughing got worse and the kid asked if there was something he could do. I brought my fist up to my mouth, let out one big cough and loosened the grip on the feathers. His eyes got big as saucers when he saw those feathers fly out and he exclaimed "Oh My".  It took him a few seconds to realize what happened and we all had a good laugh. Some times you just have to lighten up a little.

That's a good one.

I knew a lady who would say, when it was raining or snowing outside, "Tickle your ass with a feather." The other person would be shocked and say, "What did you say???" This lady would then say, "Particularly nasty weather." She would then look confused and say, "What did you think I said?" The person would then be embarrassed because of what they had thought they heard this lady say, which in fact, was exactly what she had said. I saw her do this several times. She was good at it.

That's too funny.

gene's joke was actually a "newphie" joke up here decades ago. The Newph watched a guy use that line in a bar to strike up a conversation with a young lady and thought it was pretty clever. A young lady came in and sat at the bar beside him so he decided he'd give it a go. "tickle your ass with a feather?","WHAT?", "it looks like rain",SMACK!

A mate of mine walked into a bakery and asked for a particular cake, I don't know if you have it by this name in other countrys, any way it went like this. My mate " I'd like a hedgehog please". Lady, "get out of her you dirty pervert". My mate pointing to the cake "I only want a hedgehog" . Red faced lady, "oh sorry" ;D

The funny thing is my wife played the tickle your ass joke on me 30 years ago when we were dating and we've been laughing about it ever since. So I told her to read the responses to my feather joke and I watched her face as she was scrolling down the page. When she read Darren Henrys reply she laughed so hard tears started rolling down her cheek. Good one guys.
