A couple was planning an evening out. They were dressed and ready to leave when their mischievous cat suddenly ran back inside the house.

Not wanting their feline to be trapped, the husband chased after it, while his wife waited outside.

To keep it simple, the wife told the driver, "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother," she explained.

Moments later, the husband got into the cab, looking exhausted.

"Sorry I took so long," he apologized. "The silly old thing was hiding under the bed, and I had to poke her out with a coat hanger!"

The driver nodded and started the vehicle.

Later, the husband said, "Sorry for the delay. The stubborn cat was hiding under the bed, and I had to prod her out with a coat hanger."

The driver looked surprised but stayed quiet.

As their wedding day neared, a nervous young couple confided in their parents about their worries.

The groom told his father, "I love her, but I have really bad-smelling feet, and I’m worried she’ll be disgusted."

"Just wash your feet often and wear socks to bed. That’s it, son," his father replied.

The bride told her mother, "Mom, my morning breath is awful. I’m scared he won’t want to sleep in the same room."

"Get up, make breakfast, brush your teeth—no one will notice. Be confident, dear," her mother reassured her.

They followed this advice and had a peaceful six months, until one morning.

The groom woke up panicked after realizing one of his socks had come off.

He searched the bed frantically, waking his wife.

"What are you doing?" she asked groggily.

"Oh no!" he said, grimacing. "You swallowed my sock!"

He held his head in frustration.

John had always wanted to try the amusement ride at the state fair, but his wife refused every year because it cost ten dollars.

"Ten dollars is ten dollars, John," she would say.

When he turned 71, he begged her one more time, standing beside pies on sale.

"Please, this might be my last chance, Mary!"

She responded quietly, "Ten dollars is ten dollars."

Overhearing their conversation, the pilot offered a different plan.

"I’ll take you both for a free ride if you stay quiet all the way. If you talk, it’s ten dollars."

They agreed, and the pilot gave them a wild, twisting flight. They stayed silent the entire time.

He tried more tricks, but they kept quiet.

When they landed, the pilot said to John, "I did everything to make you scream, but you didn’t say a word!"

"Well," John admitted, "I almost said something when my wife fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

At a funeral, the minister noticed something odd. The farmer nodded when women spoke to him but shook his head when men approached.

He asked gently, "Sir, I notice you nod when women talk, but shake your head with men. Why?"

The farmer explained, "Well, the ladies all said nice things about my wife—how beautiful she looked or her dress—they made me nod."

"And the men?"

"They wanted to buy the mule," he said with a grin.

A man urgently went to see a psychiatrist. "Doctor, you must help me. My wife thinks she’s a chicken!"

"Two years," he replied.

"Why did you wait so long to come?"

"We needed the eggs," the man said.

"Your hearing’s perfect! Your family must be thrilled."

The man chuckled quietly.

A young boy chosen as the ring bearer at a wedding made a memorable entrance.

He took two steps down the aisle, stopped, turned toward the crowd, and roared like a bear.

Step, step, ROAR!

He kept going, making everyone laugh.

But the boy grew upset by the loud reactions. When he reached the altar, he was almost crying.

When asked what he was doing, he said with a sniff, "I was just doing my job! I was the Ring Bear!"

A teenager with a driver's permit asked his father, who was a minister, about using the family car.

"Improve your grades, study the Bible, and cut your hair. Then we’ll talk."

A month later, the son returned, holding the car keys.

He said, "Dad, I’ve done everything you asked. I just didn’t cut my hair. Look at Samson, Moses, and even Jesus—they all had long hair."

His father replied, "Yes, but they walked everywhere they went."
