Food jokes (1156 to 1170)

Far away in the tropical water

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawnswere swimming around in the sea - one called Justin & theother called Christian.
The prawns were constantly being harassed & threatened bysharks that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said toChristian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn, I wish I was a shark,then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."
A large mysterious cod appeared & said, "Your wish is granted"& lo & behold, Justin turned into a shark.
Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of beingeaten by his old mate.
Time passed (as it invariably does) & Justin found life as a sharkboring & lonely. All his old mates simply swam away wheneverhe came close to them. Justin didn't realize that his new menacingappearance was the cause of his sad plight.
While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again& he thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him backinto a prawn. He approached the cod & begged to be changedback, & lo & behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn.
With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to hisfriends & bought them all a cocktail.
Looking around the gathering at the reef he realized he couldn't seehis old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked.
"He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to theenemy & became a shark",came the reply.
Eager to put things right again & end the mutual pain & torture, heset off to Christian's abode.
As he opened the coral gate memories came flooding back. Hebanged on the door & shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend,come out & see me again."
Christian replied,"No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a shark,the enemy, & I'll not be tricked into being your dinner."
Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed....I've found Cod. I'm a Prawn again Christian."

Deer Camp

Four guys were at a deer camp. They had to bunk two to a room. No one wanted to room with Daryl because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first guy slept in the same cabin as Daryl, and comes to breakfast the next morning with hair a mess and eyes all bloodshot.

The other two said: "Man, what happened to you?"

He said: Daryl snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."

The next night, it was the second guy's turn. In the morning, same thing-hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.

The other two said: "Man what happened to you? You look awful!"

He said: "Man that Daryl shakes the roof. I couldn't do anything but sit up and watch him all night."

The third night was Rich's turn. Rich was a big burly ex-football player, a man's man.

The next morning he came to breakfast, bright-eyed and bushy tailed. "Good morning," he said. The other two couldn't believe it-he looked rested and wide awake.

They asked: "Man, what happened?"

He said: "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Daryl into bed, patted his behind and kissed him good night. Daryl sat up and watched me all night.

I can spread, butter...

Feeling listless, I bought som

Feeling listless, I bought some expensive "brain-stimulating" pills at the health food store. But it wasn’t until I got home that I read the label.
"This is just rosemary extract," I complained to my husband. "I can’t believe I spent all that money for something that I have growing wild in the yard!"
"See?" he said. "You’re smarter already."

Growing Tomatoes

A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her tomatoes to turn red. One day, while taking a stroll, she came upon a gentleman neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes.

The woman asked the gentlemen,"What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?" The gentlemen responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden naked in my trench coat and flash them. My tomatoes turn red from blushing so much."
Well, the woman was so impressed; she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks she flashed her garden hoping for the best.
One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, "By the way, how did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?"
No", she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous."    

SHARING

An elderly couple walk into a fast food restaurant. They order one hamburger, one order of fries and one drink.
The old man unwraps the plain hamburger and carefully cuts it in half. He places one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counts out the fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placing one pile in front of his wife.
He takes a sip of the drink, his wife takes a sip and then sets the cup down between them. As he begins to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them keep looking over and whispering `That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.`
As the man begins to eat his fries a young man comes to the table. He politely offers to buy another meal for the old couple.
The old man replies that they`re just fine - they`re just used to sharing everything.
The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sits there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
Again the young man comes over and begs them to let him buy another meal for them.
This time the old woman says `No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.`
As the old man finishes and was wipes his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again comes over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asks `May I ask what is it you are waiting for?`
The old woman answers... `THE TEETH.`

It was mailman George's last

It was mailman George's last day on the job after 35 years of delivering the mail through all kinds of weather. When he arrived at the first house on his route, the whole family came out, roundly congratulated him, and sent him on his way with a tidy gift envelope.
At the second house they presented him with a box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.
At the next house, he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced.
When he'd had enough, they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied, she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge.
"All this is just too wonderful for words," he said, "but what's the dollar for?"
"Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that I wanted to do something special for you. I asked him what to give you. He said, 'Screw him. Give him a dollar.'"
"Breakfast was my idea."

Complicated order

A resident in a seaside hotel breakfast room called the head waiter to his table. "I want two boiled eggs, one of them so undercooked it's runny, and the other so overcooked, it's tough and hard to eat. Also, give me some grilled bacon that has been left on the plate to get cold; burnt toast that crumbles away as soon as you touch it with a knife; butter straight from the deep freeze so that it's impossible to spread; and a pot of very weak coffee, luke-warm."

"That's a complicated order, Sir," said the bewildered waiter. "It might be quite difficult to prepare."

The guest replied, "Oh? But that's what I got yesterday!!"

Soap and water...

A minister was asked to dinner by one of his parishioners, whom he knew was an unkempt housekeeper. When he sat down at the table, he noticed that the dishes were the dirtiest that he had ever seen in his life.

"Were these dishes EVER washed?" he asked his hostess, running his fingers over the grit and grime.

"She replied, "They're as clean as soap and water could get them."

He felt quite apprehensive, but not wanting to offend, blessed the food anyway and started eating. It was really delicious, and he said so, despite the dirty dishes.
