The Girl or the Money?
Once there was a billionaire who collected live alligators. He kept them in the pool at the back of his mansion. The billionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single.
One day, the billionaire decides to throw a huge party, and during the party he announces, “My dear guests, I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars, or my daughter, to the man who can swim across this pool full of alligators and emerge unharmed!”
As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large splash in the pool. The guy in the pool was swimming with all his might, and the crowd began to cheer him on. Finally, he made it to the other side of the pool unharmed.
The billionaire was impressed. He said, “That was incredible! Fantastic! I didn’t think it could be done! Well, I must keep my end of the bargain. Do you want my daughter or the one million dollars?” The guy catches his breath, then says, “Listen, I don’t want your money! And I don’t want your daughter! I want the (insert word) who pushed me in the pool!”
- What happened to the fishing boat that sank in piranha fish infested waters? It came back with a skeleton crew.
- When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
- If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
- You’re showered with knowledge if you know that tomato is a fruit. You’re showered with wisdom when you don’t add it in the fruit salad.
Who’s Driving?
Junior had just received his brand new drivers license. To celebrate, the whole family trooped out to the driveway and climbed into the car for his inaugural drive. Dad immediately headed to the back seat, directly behind the newly minted driver.
“I’ll bet you’re back there to get a change of scenery after all those months of sitting in the front passenger seat teaching me how to drive,” said the beaming boy to his old man.
“Nope,” came dad’s reply, “I’m gonna sit back here and kick the back of your seat while you drive, just like you have been doing to me for sixteen years.”
Golf Clubs
There was a businesswoman who just made an extra 3 Billion dollars for an Arabian Oil Sheik. When she was leaving the Oil Sheik offered her Diamonds and rubies and a Silver-plated Rolls Royce, but she declined.
The Sheik insisted so she said that she just started to golf and maybe a set of golf clubs would be nice.
A few weeks later she received a telegram from the sheik. “So far I have bought you 3 Golf Clubs. I hope you aren’t disappointed that only 2 of them have swimming pools.”
Being pushed into the pool surprised me! There’s the tomatoes we discussed earlier. 😉 … But isn’t a tomato also a vegetable? that is nutritionally speaking (as opposed to biologically speaking). Happy Saturday Morning Mags from a very hot and steamy mid-afternoon on Friday. Which also means your Saturday morning classic cartoon will wait until Saturday night. Have a good weekend.
Hi Frank,
Good to hear you didn’t guess the ending in the pool, I had to keep the tomato one short for an impact. 😀
It is still dark outside here, being Winter the sun of course rises a bit later, the rain seems to have stopped, a good sign. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Magsx2! Laughing at my desk right now. Liked the last one the most.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for starting mine right!
Hi El Guapo,
I like the idea of giving you a bit of a laugh while you are working. 😀
Have a great weekend.
Always a great send-off for the weekend. Thanks Mags.
Hi Waldo,
Glad you enjoyed the jokes. 😀
Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the laughs, Mags. I like the last one and I had a good chuckle over how to tell a weed from a valuable plant. That’s one only a gardner could love!
Have a great weekend!
Hi A Gripping Life,
It is so true about the weeds. 😀
You also have a great weekend.
As a gardener, the weed joke is perfect!
Hi robincoyle,
Yes it certainly is very true. 😀
Have a great weekend.
Brilliant all of them … but I would love golf clubs with swimming pool *smile
Forgotten to wish you a great weekend !
Hi,
Oh yes that would be a lovely gift to recieve. 😀
You also have a great weekend.
Haha the poor guy who got pushed in the water! That was a great twist to the ending 🙂 good way to bring in the weekend with a good laugh! Thanks Mags 🙂

Magsx2 – Thank you for a lighthearted start to the weekend. I liked “Golf Clubs” best 🙂
Hi Laurie,
Yes a bit of a twist at the end, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Have a great weekend.
“I’m gonna sit back here and kick the back of your seat while you drive, just like you have been doing to me for sixteen years.” Like it, Mags! Enjoy your weekend. It’s a long weekend for the Townsville Show, with Monday a Public Show Holiday. Cheers, Mal.
Hi Mal,
I’m glad you enjoyed the joke, it really is standard I think for kids to keep kicking the back of a chair, they do at the movies as well. 😆
That’s great that you have a long weekend, I hope you enjoy the time. 😀
Hi, my favourites are the crocodile pool and kicking the seats while driving. Bruce
Hi Bruce,
I’m glad you had a bit of a laugh. 😀
Have a great weekend.
My favourites are “the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it” and the tomato one….
perhaps because I just spent the afternoon in the garden.
Hi dearrosie,
Yes the old weeds sometimes just want to stay put. 😀
Hope you have a great weekend.

Hilarious! Shall keep that weeding tip in mind 🙂
Hi Madhu,
Those weeds usually like to stay right were they are. 😀
Enjoy your weekend.
I love the one about kicking the back of the seat. What is with that? All kids seem to do it. And it’s so annoying. Even worse on a long-haul economy flight! xx
Hi Hotly Spiced,
I have never worked out why either, but it’s good to get payback. 😀
I almost spilled my coffee laughing, “The guy catches his breath, then says, “Listen, I don’t want your money! And I don’t want your daughter! I want the (insert word) who pushed me in the pool!” I could have been that guy!!! Thanks…not for the push but for this awesome, funny post! Ha, ha, ha!
Hi island traveler,
Glad to hear you had a bit of a laugh. 😀
Hey Margaret, did you push that chap in? 🙂
I love the gold clubs joke.
The kicking dad is great too! 🙂

Hi Scott,
I’m glad you enjoyed the jokes. 😀
You know though, I was thinking…the guy with the alligators should have taken the million and hired someone to find the one who pushed him!
Now that is exactly what he should of done. 😆
Hi wolfgang,
Nice photo. 🙂
Great laughs again! As far as the guy who got pushed into the pool, why not at least take the million dollars anyway!
Hi Fergiemoto,
I think he was really mad and not thinking straight. 😀

Enjoy a well-deserved break!!!
Hi Asifa,

As always you have collected a series of great jokes and tales. My favourite is definitely the “Who is driving”, mainly, I believe, because I can so related to it.
Hi munchow,
Oh yes, I think the driving one happens to a lot of people. 😆
Love the alligator joke, magsx2!
Hi AA,
Glad you enjoyed the jokes. 😀
I won’t be back blogging till the New Year, I have been looking after my Dad who had a triple by-pass operation, he is 81, he is doing great after the op, I have for the moment moved in to his place until he has fully recovered and can go back to living on his own. My husband has been a fantastic help through it all, anyway hopefully back to blogging soon, I have missed everyone.
I’m so sorry about your father, magsx2. You and he are in my thoughts and prayers! I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year for you, your dad and your husband.
