Ready to dive in? Let’s get giggling!

1. The Clinic Hustle

A doctor, struggling to find work, sets up a clinic with an unusual promise:

GET TREATMENT FOR $20! – IF NOT CURED, GET BACK $100!

A lawyer, always on the lookout for easy money, decides to outsmart him.

“Doc, I’ve lost my sense of taste,” he says smugly.

The doctor calls for some “medicine” and puts three drops into the lawyer’s mouth.

“Ugh! This is kerosene!”

“And congratulations! Your sense of taste is restored. That’ll be $20.”

Determined, the lawyer returns days later.

“I’ve lost my memory. I can’t remember a thing,” he says.

The doctor nods, calls for the same medicine, and repeats the process.

“This is kerosene!” the lawyer shouts.

“Congratulations, your memory’s back. That’ll be $20.”

Fuming, the lawyer returns one last time.

“Now, my eyesight is failing, Doc,” he says.

The doctor sighs and hands him a $20 bill.

“Sorry, I guess I can’t help you…”

The lawyer squints at the note in his hands.

“But this is only $10!”

“And there you go! Congratulations, your eyesight is restored. That’ll be $20.”

2. Jungle Survival 101

A lost dog quickly finds himself in a jungle when a lion approaches, licking its chops. Thinking quickly, the dog pretends to munch on some bones.

“Wow, that was a delicious lion,” he announces loudly.

The lion stops in his tracks.

“Wait… this guy eats lions? I’m out of here!”

A sneaky monkey sees everything and tips the lion off. Furious, the lion drags the monkey along to confront the dog.

Spotting them, the dog panics for a second and then yells,

“Where’s that monkey? I told him to bring me another lion an hour ago!”

3. The Parrot with a Past

A woman buys a $15 parrot with a history. The shopkeeper warns her about the bird first.

“It used to live in a brothel…”

At home, the parrot immediately begins its antics.

“Well, look at that! A new brothel!”

The woman starts laughing.

Later, when her daughters walk in, the parrot chirps again.

“New girls in the house!”

And they all laugh even harder.

But when her husband walks through the door, the parrot drops another bombshell.

“Pete! Long time no see!”

4. Penguins on Vacation

A man driving with penguins in his truck gets pulled over by a cop.

“Take them to the zoo!” the officer shouts.

The next day, the cop pulls him over again. Naturally, the penguins are still there, now wearing sunglasses.

“You again! I thought I told you to take them to the zoo!”

“I did,” the man replies. “And today we’re going to the beach!”

5. The Silent Prince

A prince under a spell could only say one word per year.

After five years of silence, he finally confesses something to the woman he loves.

“My darling, I love you! Will you marry me?”

She looks at him, confused.

“Pardon?” she replies.

6. The Adoption Reveal

Fred comes home, upset after discovering the results of a recent genealogy DNA test.

“Mom, am I adopted?”

“No! Of course not, darling,” his mother replies quickly. “Why would you ask such a thing?”

Later, his mother tells his father.

“Honey, Fred may not be our son… biologically.”

“Of course not,” Fred’s father says. “Remember? You told me to change the baby in the hospital. I picked a good one!”

7. Farm Rock Band

On a farm, a horse had always dreamed of being a musician. Every day, he’d stand in the pasture, strumming air guitar with his hoof and imagining himself rocking out in front of a massive crowd.

Finally, one day, he decided to make it happen. He called a music shop.

“I’m a horse, but I really want to learn.”

“Not a problem,” said the manager. “Lessons start on Monday.”

Soon, the horse was rocking out in the barn. One day, the sheep wandered over.

“That’s amazing!” the sheep said. “I’ve always wanted to play drums. Think your teacher would work with me?”

“Of course!” the horse said.

The sheep started lessons, and before long, they were jamming together. Then the chicken came by.

“You two sound great! I’ve always wanted to sing.”

A few months later, the trio formed a band. Their songs went viral, and soon they were booked for a world tour. At the airport, as they were boarding the plane, the horse went to the restroom, missing the flight.

As he returned to the farm, he heard that the plane had crashed, and all passengers were lost.

Devastated, the horse wandered into a bar.

The bartender saw him.

“Hey there, buddy, what’s wrong?”

The horse looked up.

“I just lost my best friends.”

“Okay, but why the long face?”

8. Baby Boom Drama

Four men are pacing nervously in a hospital waiting room while their wives are in labor. It’s tense, but finally, a nurse steps out and addresses the first man.

“Congratulations, sir! Your wife has given birth to twins!”

The man grins.

“Twins? That’s wild. I work for the Minnesota Twins baseball team!”

Everyone chuckles at the coincidence.

Moments later, the nurse returns to the second man.

“Congratulations! Your wife just delivered triplets!”

“What are the odds?” he exclaims. “I work for 3M.”

Not long after, the nurse reappears.

“Great news! Your wife had quadruplets!” she tells the third man.

The guy’s eyes widen.

“Unbelievable! I work for Four Seasons Hotels!”

The room erupts in applause, but then everyone notices the fourth man. He’s sitting in a corner, pale as a ghost, smacking his forehead against the wall.

“Sir, are you alright?” the nurse asks.

“No, I’m doomed!” he groans. “I’m in advertising… for 7UP!”

9. Castaway Mystery

A cruise ship passes a deserted island where a man is frantically waving his arms.

“Who’s that?” a passenger asks.

“No idea,” the captain replies. “But every time we pass, he loses his mind.”

10. The Wisdom Letdown

One day, an angel appears before a man in a puff of heavenly smoke.

“You’ve lived a life of such goodness and virtue that I’m granting you a single gift. Choose wisely. I can make you the most handsome man in the world, give you infinite wisdom, or bestow upon you limitless wealth.”

The man, after a moment of deep thought, puffs out his chest.

“I choose wisdom!”

“So it shall be!” the angel declares, disappearing in another puff of smoke.

The man feels a rush of energy as divine wisdom floods into his mind. He sits for a moment, soaking in his newfound brilliance.

“Wow, I really should have picked the money.”

11. The Dance That Took Forever

A guy asks his crush to the big school dance, and to his amazement, she says yes.

Now he has to prep.

First, he rents a suit, but the line at the rental place wraps around the block. He waits, and waits, and waits, but finally gets the suit.

Next, he goes to buy flowers. Again, the line is ridiculous. It’s like every couple in town decided they needed a bouquet that same day. But after what feels like forever, he gets his flowers and heads home.

On the night of the dance, he picks up his date, and as expected, there’s an insanely long line to get into the venue. After waiting yet again, they finally make it inside.

The music’s great, the atmosphere is electric, and his date is clearly having a blast.

Midway through, she asks him for a drink.

He heads to the drinks table, scanning for the punch.

And there’s no punchline.

12. Everyone Knows Dave

Dave, a lovable braggart, is always telling people that he knows everyone. One day at work, his boss decides to call him out.

“Alright, Dave, prove it,” he says. “Do you know Tom Cruise?”

“Tom? We’re old friends,” Dave replies confidently.

The boss is skeptical but curious, so they fly out to Hollywood. When they knock on Tom Cruise’s door, the actor himself answers, beaming.

“Dave! Long time no see! Come in, let’s grab a beer!”

The boss is floored but still unconvinced.

“That’s just one guy. What about someone important… like, say, President Obama?”

“Sure thing!” Dave replies.

They head to Washington, D.C., where Obama spots Dave on a White House tour.

“Dave!” he exclaims. “What a pleasant surprise! Come on in, let’s have a cup of tea.”

The boss is starting to sweat but refuses to back down.

“Okay, okay… what about the Pope? You can’t possibly know the Pope.”

Dave just grins.

“Let’s go to the Vatican, then.”

They arrive in Rome, and St. Peter’s Square is packed with a sea of people waiting to see the Pope. Dave sighs.

“Listen, it’ll take forever for him to notice me down here. Give me ten minutes, I’ll go up to the balcony with him.”

Before the boss can object, Dave vanishes into the crowd. Sure enough, ten minutes later, he appears on the balcony, smiling and waving alongside the Pope.

The boss stares up in shock, and the stranger next to him nudges him.

“Hey! Who’s that old guy up there with Dave?”

And there you have it!
