Sange's Ice Breaker

Old fellow is doing just fine
"Your marriage won't work" warned a friend to his eighty year old friend who had just married a young vivacious teenager.

"The age difference will come between the two of you and a separation is inevitable!"

Somewhat disturbed the ole boy enquired "What should I do ?"

"When you return from your honeymoon advertise for a boarder. It'll help!"

The suggestion sounded good and the ole boy did exactly what his friend suggested. 

A month later the friend visited the ole boy and inquired about the bride.

"She's fine and expecting!" the old buck replied.

"And how is that boarder of your's ?" asked the pal "Wonderful ... and she's expecting too!"

Gunning for the master
The lady of the house had grave suspicions that one of her two sons was paying attention to the young and pretty shapely maid. 

Anxious to find out which one, she said to the girl "Quincy, suppose you were given the choice of a night out with one of my sons, which would you prefer ?"

"Well" replied Quincy. "It's really hard to say lady, for I've had some grand times with both of them. But for a real rollicking spree, give me the master !"

Running around with the Doctor's wife
"I am warning you" mumbled the doctor as he was glancing through the test results "that you won't live long if you don't stop running around with women".

"What do you mean doctor?" laughed the man "I am in great physical shape. It must be something else". "Yes, I know about the great physical shape you are in" snapped the doctor, pointing a knife at him "That's the reason for my warning. 

One of the women happens to be my wife".

She is very much alive
Census Clerk: "How come madam, you have a child of one year and another of three and yet you say that your husband has been dead for six years?" Madam: "Yes, but I am alive, ain't I?".
She was lying
Willie: "Why do you say your wife is a liar and unfaithful?"

Freddie: "She said she spent the night with her friend Alice when she came home in the early hours of the morning" 

Willie: "Well, how do you know she was lying?"

Freddie: "Because I spent the night with Alice!"

Returns to the sender
A small post office in a Middle East desert town returned a letter to the sender with the remark: "Addressee dead over a year. Left no forwarding address".
Animals are crowd pullers
Animals are crowd pullers and therefore superior to human beings. There are thirty horses running in a race and fifty thousand people go to see it. But put thirty people in a race and not one horse will go to see it!!
House on fire
Two drunks were driving furiously, late at night, along a road that ran side by side with a mainline railroad track. Suddenly an express train, dark except for the engine whizzed past them, going in the opposite direction. 

"Shay" said one of the men in the car "did you see that little town we just went through?" "Yeah" replied his companion. 

"You know something? I think that first house was on fire".
