Keepin' Cool!
A member of the Democratic party, recently deceased, approached the Pearly Gates. After exchanging pleasantries with St. Peter, he is led into the receiving area and handed a clock which is not running. Confused, and noticing the countless other clocks on the walls, the man asked St. Peter what they meant.
"There is one clock for each living person, and they represent the amount of time each person has left to live on earth. Since you're obviously here now, yours has stopped."
"Well, why is it that some clocks are running faster than others?"
St. Peter explained, "When someone tells a lie, the hands will move faster, thus shortening the lifespan of that person."
Curious, the deceased asked where Bill Clinton's clock was located.
"Oh," St. Peter said, "I keep that one in my office -- it makes a great ceiling fan!"

A man is struck by a bus on a busy street in New York City. He lies dying on the sidewalk as a crowd of spectators gathers around.
"A priest. Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasps. A policeman checks the crowd----no priest, no minister, no man of God of any kind.
"A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dying man says again.
Then out of the crowd steps a little old man of at least eighty years of age.
"Mr. Policeman," says the man, "I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Catholic. But for fifty years now I'm living behind St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church on First Avenue, and every night I'm listening to the Catholic litany. Maybe I can be of some comfort to this man."
The policeman agreed and brought the octogenarian over to
where the dying man lay. He kneels down, leans over the injured
man and says, in a solemn voice:
"B-4. I-19. N-38. G-54. O-72. . ."

PAYING BY THE HOUR:
A plumber was called to woman's apartment in New York to repair a leaking
pipe. When he arrived he was pleased to discover that the woman was quite
beautiful and during the course of the afternoon the two became extremely
friendly. About 5.30 p.m. the phone rang, disturbing the bedroom
shenanigans.
"That was my husband," she said, putting down the phone. "He's on his way home, but is going back to the office around 8. Come
back then, dear, and we can take up where we left off."
The union plumber looked at the woman in disbelief. "What? On my own

"Your cholesterol is down to 140!"
What to do, what to do...
A lawyer charged a man $500 for a given legal service. The client paid him in cash with five crisp new $100 bills. After the client left, the lawyer was smelling the money when he discovered that two bills had stuck together -- he'd been overpaid by $100!
This posed an ethical dilemma for the lawyer:
Was he obligated to share the extra $100 with his partner?
