Short Funny Story

These are just two of my favorite funny stories that I have kept in my journal for some time and will read them when I need to cheer myself.


The Value of Managing Anger

There was once a couple who had been married for 60 years. They live somewhere in the west part of the country.

They kept no secrets from each other - except that she has a shoe box at the top of her closet that he was never to open. And then came one day when the old woman became terminally ill and had to be hospitalised. The doctor had told the couple that the wife might not live very long.

So the woman agreed that it was time to let her husband open the box. Oh boy, was he in for a surprise. In it were two crocheted dolls and $25,000. The husband was puzzled and shocked till his jaw almost kissed the ground.

She explained: "When we were to be married, my grandmother told me that the secret of a happy marriage was anger management. So if you ever got angry with your husband, you should crochet a doll first to calm down".

The old man was moved becoz there were only TWO dolls in the box. so he surmised his wife had only been angry with him twice in 60 years. He said: "Honey, what about the $25,000?"
She replied: "Oh, thats the money I made from selling the dolls I knitted".


Tales of the Unexpected

There was this guy on the side of the road hitch-hiking on a very dark and stormy night. The storm was so strong, he could barely see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly, he saw a car coming towards him, he flagged down the car to stop. He got in the car and closed the door, only then that he realized that there was nobody behind the wheel! The car starts moving by itself very slowly. The guy looks at the road and sees a curve coming his way. Scared, he starts to pray and begs for his life. And just before the car hits the curve, a hand appears through the window and turns the wheel.

The guy, paralysed in terror, watched how the hand appeared each time the car approached a curve. Gathering his strength, he gets out of the car and runs all the way to the nearest town. Wet and in shock, he goes into a pub, asks for two shots of tequilla and starts telling everybody about the horrible experience he just went through A silence enveloped everyone when they realized the guy was crying hysterically and wasnt drunk.

About a half hour later, two other guys walk into the same pub and one said to the other, "Hey look, that's the idiot that got into our car while we were pushing it!" chuckled-
