National Humor Month Funny Short Joke Number Sixteen

Let’s start with a riddle. A woman goes to a carnival and walks by a booth where a barker calls out to her, “If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper, then you have to give me $20. But if I cannot, I will pay you $20. I do not have a scale."

The woman thinks to herself, without a scale this is a no-brainer. Whatever he writes, I’ll just say I weigh less. So she agreed and ended up paying the man $20. How did he win the bet?

Malcolm survives a shipwreck together with Fido, his pet bulldog. After several days in a lifeboat, they reach a beautiful deserted island.

As they explore the island, they soon find a grassy valley filled with wild sheep. Malcolm is a rather shy man who has never been attracted to animals before. But he is so lonely and frightened that he finds himself staring affectionately at one of the female sheep. However, as soon as he approaches her, Fido starts barking loudly and she runs away.

The next morning, consumed by thoughts of the sheep, Malcolm gets up early and hurries back toward the valley. He soon finds the sheep but once again, Fido comes running and barking and scares her away.

A few days later Malcolm and Fido are walking along the beach one morning when they find a beautiful young woman lying on the sand. She is unconscious so Malcolm immediately gives her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. She awakens and asks, “What happened? Where am I?

“You must have survived a shipwreck,” he replies. “You were unconscious but fortunately, I found you in time.”

“You saved my life! I don’t know how to thank you,” she says. She gives him an affectionate hug and a long, tender kiss. Then she looks in his eyes and says, “Please, let me express my appreciation. “I’ll do anything you want. Just tell me.”

“Well,” says Malcolm, “actually there is something. Would you mind . . . just for a couple of hours . . . looking after Fido?”
