Two men meet.
- How are you?
- Great! Bought an elephant: kids are excited, wife adores the elephant - it waters the flowers, lifts beam

to the roof, cleans the well...
- Wow... Could you sell it to me?
- No, it is already like a family member
- Please, I'll double the price...
- Well, OK.
In a month two men meet again.
- So, how is the elephant?
- Disaster! All flowers are trampled down, the roof is broken, crap in the well. All the house is in its shit,

wife and kids are afraid to go outside...
- Well, with such an attitude you will not sell the elephant!

A dog went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote: Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.

Woof. Woof. Woof.
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog, There are only nine words here. You could

 send another 'Woof' for the same price.
The dog replied, but that would make no sense at all!
 

Indians ask their new chief whether the winter will be cold or mild.
Since the young chief never learned the ways of his ancestors, he tells them to collect firewood, then

he goes off and calls the National Weather Service. Will the winter be bad? he asks.
Looks like it, is the answer.
So the chief tells his people to gather more firewood. A week later, he calls again. Are you positive the

winter will be very cold? Absolutely.
The chief tells his people to gather even more firewood, then calls the Weather Service again: Are you

 sure? I'm telling you, it's going to be the coldest winter on record.
How do you know?
Because the Indians are gathering firewood like crazy!
 

A man and a friend are playing golf one day. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he

sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf

cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.
His friend says: Wow! That is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You are truly a

kind man.
The other man replies, Yeah, well, we were married 35 years.

A starlet is seated next to a lawyer on a long flight. She craves her sleep, but he keeps waking her up.
Let's play a trivia game, he suggests. If I answer wrong, I'll pay you $50. If you answer wrong, you owe

me $5.
The starlet agrees, and the lawyer goes first.
What's the distance between the earth and the moon?
The starlet hands the lawyer $5. Now it's her turn.
What goes up a mountain on three legs and comes down on four?
The lawyer is dumbstruck. He scans the Internet, flips through his pocket encyclopedia, and texts every scientist he can find. No dice. Hours later, he wakes up the starlet, hands her $50, and asks, So what's the answer?
Without a word, she hands him $5 and goes back to sleep.

DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas, and talks with an old rancher.. He tells the rancher, I need to

inspect your ranch for ill*gally grown dr*gs.
The rancher says, Okay , but do not go in that field over there, as he points out the location.
The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government

with me. Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the

 rancher. See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land..

No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand? 
The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.
A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life 

 chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis Bull......
With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified.
The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....
Your badge... Show him your badge!!
