The Sunday School Surprise

I was swiping through a dating app and matched with someone who didn’t have a profile picture. Desperate for a change, I decided to take a chance and meet her.

I wasn’t expecting much, maybe someone a little rough around the edges, but when I arrived, I was floored. She was stunning: 5’2″, baby blue eyes, strawberry blonde hair, and all the right curves.

Impressed, I asked what she did for a living. “I teach Sunday school,” she said.

I’d never dated a Christian girl before, but I was intrigued. On the drive to dinner, I lit a cigarette and asked if she cared for one.

“Oh, heavens no,” she replied, “What would I tell my Sunday school children?”

Fair enough, I thought. Some people smoke, some don’t.

At the restaurant, I ordered steak, she got lobster, and I requested the second-most expensive bottle of wine on the menu. When the wine arrived, she declined a glass.

“You don’t drink?” I asked, surprised.

She shook her head. “Oh, heavens no, what would I tell my Sunday school children?”

The dinner and conversation were amazing, but I couldn’t quite figure her out. On the drive home, I passed a cheap motel and figured, why not take a chance?

“Want to get a room and fool around?” I asked nervously.

She winked and said, “I thought you’d never ask!”

Surprised, I laughed and teased, “Really? What are you going to tell your Sunday school children about this?”

She grinned mischievously and said, “The same thing I tell them every week: You don’t have to smoke or drink to have a good time!”

The Widow’s Wardrobe Wisdom

Dorothy and Edna, two elderly widows, are talking.

Dorothy says, “That nice George Johnson asked me out for a date. I know you went out with him last week, and I wanted to talk with you about him before I give him my answer.”

Edna replies, “Well, I’ll warn you about what happened last week! George showed up at my apartment punctually at 7 P.M., dressed like such a gentleman in a fine suit, and he brought me such beautiful flowers!

Then he took me downstairs, and what was there but a luxury car… a limousine, uniformed chauffeur and all.

“Then he took me out for dinner… a marvelous dinner. Lobster, champagne, dessert, and after-dinner drinks. Then we went to see a show. Let me tell you, Dorothy, I enjoyed it so much I could have just died from pleasure! BUT THEN when we were coming back to my apartment, he turns into an ANIMAL!”

Dorothy exclaims, “Goodness gracious! What do you mean?”

“He tore my expensive dress off!”

“So, I shouldn’t go on a date with him?” Dorothy asks.

“No, I’m just saying… wear an old dress.”

Thomas’ Mom and Dad Dilemma

Thomas, 32, is still single. His friend asks, “Why haven’t you found a wife? Haven’t you met anyone you like?”

Thomas replies, “Oh, I’ve met plenty of wonderful women. But when I introduce them to my mom, she always disapproves.”

The friend suggests, “Easy fix—find someone just like your mom!”

Months later, they meet again. The friend asks, “So, did you try my advice?”

Thomas sighs, “I found a woman just like my mom. She’s perfect, and my mom adores her.”

“So, what’s the problem?”

Blind Date Backup Plan

I went on a blind date with someone I met on a dating app. Neither of us had profile pictures, but I consider myself quite handsome. Still, I was nervous. What if she wasn’t my type?

Thankfully, I found an app called “Mom, Are You OK?” It schedules your phone to ring right after meeting your date. If you like them, you ignore the call. If not, you answer, “Mom? What’s wrong?” and quickly exit.

When I knocked on her door, my worries disappeared. She was absolutely stunning. But before I could say a word, her phone rang.

The Perfect Catch

A man is dining alone in a fancy restaurant when he notices a stunning redhead at the next table. Though he’s too shy to say hello, he can’t stop glancing her way.

Suddenly, she sneezes, and much to his surprise, a glass eye flies out of its socket, hurtling straight at him. He catches it mid-air with lightning reflexes and hands it back to her.

Embarrassed, she says, “I’m so sorry! Please, let me buy your dinner to make it up to you.”

He joins her, and they have dinner, watch a show, order drinks, and have a deep conversation. At the end of the night, she invites him over, and he stays.

The next morning, she whips up a gourmet breakfast. Amazed, he says, “You’re absolutely perfect. Are you this kind to every guy you meet?”

She smiles and replies, “Nope. You just happened to catch my eye.”

The Gym’s Secret Attraction Machine

After a tough breakup, I decided to turn my life around. Step one: Hit the gym to get back in shape and maybe catch the attention of someone special.

At the gym, I asked the trainer, “Which machine here will help me attract the most beautiful women?”

He sized me up, paused, and said, “The ATM outside.”

A Mixed-Up Christmas Surprise

A man decides to buy his new girlfriend a Christmas present. Since they’ve only been dating for three weeks, he wants something thoughtful but not overly personal. He settles on a pair of elegant gloves.

To ensure he picks the right style, he asks her younger sister to come along and offer her opinion. The sister points out a chic pair of white gloves at the store, which he purchases. While shopping, the sister also buys herself a pair of panties.

Unbeknownst to them, the cashier accidentally swaps the packages. The man unknowingly ends up with the panties in the gift box instead of the gloves.

Feeling proud of his choice, he pens a heartfelt note to include with the gift:

My Dearest,

I chose these because I noticed you don’t usually wear any when we go out in the evenings.

If it weren’t for your sister, I’d have picked the longer style with buttons, but she said the shorter ones are easier to take off.

They’re a delicate shade, but the saleswoman assured me they won’t show wear even after being used for three weeks. She even tried them on for me, and they looked fantastic!

I wish I could be there to help you put them on the first time. I’m sure others will handle them before I get the chance to see you again, but that’s okay.

When you take them off, don’t forget to blow inside to keep them fresh. They may feel a little damp after wearing, which is perfectly natural.

Just think about how many times I’ll kiss them throughout the year. I hope you’ll wear them on Christmas Eve for me.

P.S. The latest trend is to fold them down slightly to let a bit of fur show.

The $5,000 Test

A man is dating three women and struggling to decide which one he should marry. To make his choice easier, he comes up with a test.

He gives each woman $5,000 and observes what they do with the money.

The first woman spends all the money on herself. She visits an upscale salon for a makeover, buys a new wardrobe, and splurges on accessories. She tells him, “I wanted to look my best for you because I love you.”

The man is impressed.

The second woman uses the money to buy him gifts. She gets him a premium set of golf clubs, upgrades his computer, and buys him tailored suits. Handing him the presents, she says, “I spent it all on you because I want to make you happy—I love you.”

Again, the man is impressed.

The third woman invests the money in the stock market. After making a significant profit, she returns his $5,000 and places the rest into a joint account. She explains, “I wanted to grow our future together because I love you.”

The man is blown away by her financial savvy.

He thinks long and hard about the women and their choices.

Finally, he marries the one with the biggest breasts.

Love and Semantics

An elderly couple, both widowed, had been dating for quite some time. After much encouragement from their friends, they finally decided to tie the knot.

One evening, before the wedding, they sat down for dinner to discuss finances, living arrangements, and so forth.

Eventually, the gentleman cleared his throat and cautiously broached a sensitive topic: their physical relationship.

“How do you feel about making love?” he asked hesitantly.

The lady thought for a moment, then replied with a gentle smile, “I would like it infrequently.”

The man sat in thoughtful silence, adjusted his glasses, leaned closer, and softly asked, “Is that one word or two?”

Marriage Counseling with a Twist

After 30 years of marriage, a husband and wife sit in front of a therapist. The wife starts in on a long list of grievances: “He doesn’t listen to me, he’s distant, we haven’t been close in ages. I feel neglected, lonely, unloved…”

She keeps going and going, pouring out years of frustration. Finally, the therapist stands up, walks around his desk, and approaches the wife.

He asks her to stand and proceeds to lean in and give her a long, passionate kiss. The husband looks on in surprise, and the wife? She’s left completely speechless by the intensity of their therapist’s kiss.

The therapist turns to the husband and says, “Your wife needs this at least three times a week if you’re serious about saving your marriage. Can you manage that?”

The husband sits there, thinking for a moment before responding, “Well, sure. I can bring her by on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.”
