Hier wieder ein netter Witz aus meinem Kalender "A Joke a Day": A DOCTOR AND A LAWYER were attending a cocktail party when the doctor was approached by a man who asked advice on how to treat his ulcer. The doctor mumbled some medical advice, then turned to the lawyer and asked, "How do you handle the situation when you are asked for advice during a social function?" "Just send an invoice for such advice," replied the lawyer. On the next morning the doctor arrived at his surgery and issued the...

In meinem Abreißkalender "A Joke a Day" habe ich wieder einmal einen netten Joke gefunden: "A Traveller pulls into a hotel around midnight and asks the clerk for a single room. As the clerk fills out the paperwork, the man looks around and sees a gorgeous blonde sitting in the lobby. He tells the clerk to wait while he disappears into the lobby. After a minute he comes back, with the girl on his arm. "Fancy meeting my wife here," he says to the clerk. "Guess I'll need a double room for the...

In unserem Abreißkalender "A Joke a Day" fand ich am 30. August d.J. folgenden Witz, den ich gern weiter geben möchte: Three old men were at the doctor's for a memory test.

Finally the doctor addressed the third old man. "What is two times two?" "Four," came the answer. "That's great," said the doctor. "How...

Am 11. November las ich folgenden Joke in meinem Kalender "A Joke a Day", den ich dieses Mal der Einfachheit halber gleich in der Übersetzung wiedergebe: "Eine erfolgreiche, arbeitssüchtige Geschäftsfrau hat eine Herzattacke und fällt in ein Koma. Wegen ihres Nahtodzustands findet sie sich im Himmel vor Gott wieder. "Oh nein, war's das? Ist mein Leben wirklich vorbei?" schnauft sie. "Nein", sagt Gott, "du liegst nur in einem Koma. Du hast noch 20 Jahre zu leben." Dann erwacht die Frau plötzlich...

Am 14. Juni las ich in meinem Kalender "A Joke a Day" folgenden kleinen Witz: "A MAN, standing nude, looks in the bedroom mirror and says to his wife, "I feel horrible, I look fat and ugly. Please pay me a compliment." The wife replies, " Well, your eyesight's damn near perfect." Übersetzung: "EIN MANN betrachtet sich nackt im Schlafzimmerspiegel und sagt zu seiner Frau: "Ich fühle mich schrecklich. Ich bin fett und hässlich. Bitte mach mir ein Kompliment."

Am 28. Mai las ich folgenden Witz in meinem Abreißkalender "A Joke a Day": Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?" "Because white is the colour of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life." The child considered this for a moment, then said, "So why is the bridegroom wearing black?" Übersetzung: Ein kleines Mädchen, das zum ersten Mal auf einer Hochzeit war, flüsterte seiner Mutter zu: "Warum trägt die Braut...

Ostern fand ich folgenden Witz in meinem Kalender "A Joke a Day": Last night I was sitting on the sofa with my wife and I said to her: "Darling, I don't ever want to find myself in a vegetative state, totally dependent on a machine and bottled fluids to keep me alive. It would be my biggest nightmare and therefore I would wish you to pull the plug. So she got up, unplugged my Playstation and threw out my beer." Übersetzung: Letzte Nacht saß ich mit meiner Frau auf dem Sofa und sagte zu ihr:...

In diesem Jahr hängt wieder einmal der Sprachkalender "A Joke a Day" an unserer Küchenwand. Am gestrigen 3. Februar lasen wir folgenden Witz, mit dem ich zur Aufheiterung heute beitragen möchte: THE NEW EMPLOYEE stood before the paper shredder, looking confused. The secretary walked over and asked whether he needed any help. "Yes please," he replied, "how does this thing work?" The secretary takes the fat report and feeds it through the shredder. "Great, thank you," he replies. "But where do...
