Baby In The House
He was only an infant, but little Roscoe had big lungs and his crying could (and did!) wake up the whole neighborhood. "I know he cries a lot," his mother told her neighbor one day, "But I love him, and wouldn't change him." "Maybe if you'd change him he'd stop crying," replied the neighbor.
Funeral Procession
One fall day Bill was out raking leaves when he noticed a hearse slowly drive by. Following that first hearse was a second hearse, which was followed by a man walking solemnly along, followed by a dog, and then hundreds of men walking in a single-file line for miles behind. Intrigued, Bill went up to the man following the second hearse and asked him who was in the first hearse. "My wife," the man replied. "I'm sorry," said Bill, "what happened to her?" "My dog bit her and she died," said the man. Bill then asked the man who was in the second hearse. The man replied, "My mother-in-law. My dog bit her and she died as well." Bill thought about this for a while. Then he asked his final question, "Can I borrow your dog?" to which the man replied, "Get in line."
Doctor-in-Training
A doctor on the hospital staff was escorting a group of interns through the hospital and talking about cases that had some special interest. "This young fellow limps because one of his legs is shorter than the other," he said, nodding toward a patient. Then he asked one of the interns, "What would you do in his case?" The student replied, "Well, I think I would limp, too."

Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mom.Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of her other son. Her husband responds, "Don't feel you're missing anything; after all, they are twins--if you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
A politician awoke in a hospital bed after a complicated operation,
and found that the curtains were drawn around
him. "Why are the curtains closed," he said. "Is it night?"
A nurse replied, "No, it is just that there is a fire across the
street,
and we didn't want you waking up and thinking that
the operation was unsuccessful."
A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate students. It had one question:
Is hell exothermic or endothermic?
Support your answer with a proof.
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.It was not revealed what grade the student got.As for souls entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Many of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell.With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.
So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over."
