1. Drink Down

A guy walks into a bar and orders two shots. He drinks both and leaves. He does the same thing every day for a while.

One day, the bartender asks, “Why do you always order two shots?”

The guy says, “My brother and I used to drink together all the time, but now he lives far away. So, one shot is for me, and one is for him.”

The guy replies, “Yeah, he’s fine. I just quit drinking.”

2. Penguin Parade

A police officer stopped a semi-truck driver and asked for his license and registration. The officer heard odd sounds from the trailer and decided to inspect it. He found 50 penguins inside.

“Why are there 50 penguins in your truck?” the officer asked.

“They’re my buddies,” the driver replied. “We enjoy traveling together.”

“You can’t just own 50 penguins,” the officer said. “You need to take them to the zoo.”

The driver agreed and drove away. The next day, the same officer stopped the same truck and heard the same strange noises. He checked the trailer and found the same 50 penguins.

“I thought I told you to take these penguins to the zoo!” the officer exclaimed.

“I did!” the driver responded. “They had a great time. Today, we’re going to the beach.”

3. The Plasterer

A duck waddled into a pub and asked for a beer and a ham sandwich.

The bartender stared and said, “Hold on a sec! You’re a duck!”

“That’s pretty obvious,” the duck replied.

“And you talk!” shouted the bartender.

“And you hear well!” the duck said. “Now, about that beer and sandwich?”

“Oh, right, sorry,” the bartender said, pouring the duck’s beer. “We don’t get many ducks around here. What brings you in?”

“I’m working at that construction site over there,” the duck explained. “I’m a plasterer.”

The bartender was surprised, but let the duck be when he pulled out a newspaper to read.

The duck read the paper, ate his food, and left. He did this every day for two weeks.

Then, the circus came to town. The circus manager came into the pub, and the bartender said, “Hey, you’re with the circus, right? I know a duck who’d be a star in your show! He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the paper… he’s amazing!”

“Is that right?” the circus manager said, handing the bartender his card. “Tell him to give me a call.”

The next day, when the duck came in, the bartender said, “Hey Mr. Duck, I think I found you a fantastic job that pays really well.”

“I’m always interested in new opportunities,” the duck said. “Where is it?”

“At the circus,” the bartender answered.

“The circus?” the duck asked.

“Yep,” said the bartender.

“The circus?” the duck asked again. “The one with the big tent?”

“Exactly!” said the bartender.

“With the animals in cages and people living in trailers?” asked the duck.

“That’s the one,” said the bartender.

“And the tent is made of that heavy fabric with a hole at the top?” the duck asked.

“That’s right!” said the bartender.

The duck shook his head and said, “Why would they need a plasterer?”

4. Slowpoke Centipede

A man saw a sign at a pet store that said, “Talking Centipede $100.” He thought it was cool and bought it. When he got home, he opened the box and asked the centipede if it wanted to grab a beer. The centipede didn’t say anything, so the man thought he got ripped off.

After a while, he tried again. He shouted, “Want to go get a beer?” The centipede popped out of the box and said, “Be quiet! I heard you the first time! I’m putting my shoes on!”

5. Hell’s Handyman

An engineer died and went to Hell.

The devil was shocked because engineers don’t usually go there. Hell was a mess: the AC was busted, the pool was empty, and everything was broken.

The engineer got to work fixing things. He fixed the AC, filled the pool, and even made the roads better.

God saw that everyone in Hell was having fun, which wasn’t right. He asked the devil what was going on.

The devil said, “That engineer you sent here has been fixing everything. He’s made Hell a nice place!”

God said, “What? Engineers don’t belong in Hell! That was a mistake. Send him back so I can put him in Heaven!”

The devil said, “No way, we like him here.”

God said, “Send him back, or I’ll sue you!”

The devil laughed and said, “Where are you going to find a lawyer?”

We’re going to win for sure! Yeah, the judge already knows I’m right! No, I don’t care what they offer, we’re not backing down!”

He talked like this for a long time while the man waited. Finally, Joe hung up the phone and said to the man, “Sorry I took so long, I’m really busy. What can I do for you?”

The man answered, “I’m here to install your phone line.”

10. Whoa, Amen!

A man got lost in the desert. After wandering for weeks, he found a small house. He was tired and weak, so he crawled to the house and fainted.

The owner of the house, a kind and religious man, found him and helped him get better. When the man felt stronger, he asked for directions to the nearest town.

As he was leaving, he saw a horse. He asked the owner if he could borrow it. The owner agreed but said, “To make the horse go, say ‘Thank God.’ To make it stop, say ‘Amen.'”

The man didn’t really listen and said, “Okay, sure.” He got on the horse and said, “Thank God,” and the horse started walking. He said, “Thank God, thank God,” and the horse started running. Feeling brave, the man shouted, “Thank God, thank God, thank God!” and the horse went even faster.

Suddenly, he saw a cliff ahead. He tried to stop the horse, yelling, “Whoa, stop!” Then he remembered, “Amen!”

The horse stopped right at the edge of the cliff. The man took a deep breath and said, “Thank God.”

11. Nutty Natter

A man went into a bar and ordered a beer. As he was drinking, he heard a voice say, “Nice tie!” He looked around, but he and the bartender were the only ones there. Then the voice said, “I like your shirt!” Confused, the man called the bartender over.

“Am I losing it?” he asked. “I keep hearing voices telling me nice things, but no one else is here.”

“It’s the peanuts,” the bartender answered.

“What?” the man asked.

“The peanuts,” the bartender said again. “They’re complimentary.”

Girl Rejected by 15 Families Is Adopted by Single Dad, Years Later He Finds Out She’s a Millionaire…

A man battling the grief of losing his family adopts a girl with Down syndrome and gives her a loving home. Nine years later, he gets a call from a stranger and finds out the girl he adopted is a millionaire.

It was a beautiful, sunny day, and birds were chirping merrily in the skies. Nothing seemed wrong with the world outside. But for 33-year-old Brian, it was the darkest day of his life.

Brian’s loving wife, Lyra, and his only daughter, Amy, were killed in a car accident that morning. He shuddered as he rushed to the police station for identification and saw their pale faces hidden beneath thin white covers. How could God be so cruel? How could he take his family away from him?

As they were buried, Brian felt like someone had drained out the blood in his body. He couldn’t take his eyes away from the fresh mounds of Earth beneath which his wife and daughter lay, and at one point, he wished he was the one there, not them.

After losing Lyra and Amy, Brian felt his life had lost meaning. “Brian, you can’t be stuck like that. You’re young, and you have a whole life ahead of you. The living should live on,” his mom told him one day.

“Mr. Hoffman,” said the lawyer. “Trust me. You’d like to come to my office for this. There is someone you’d like to meet.”

It had been five years since Brian lost his family, but for him, it still seemed like it was only yesterday when he’d seen his wife and daughter’s pale faces. How could he move on? How could he forget that the people he loved the most were no longer with him? It wasn’t easy for him.

One day, Brian returned from work and went about his tedious routine. He sat at his desk, checking reports and completing his office work like he always did. His work kept him occupied and distracted him from his sad thoughts.

He switched the browser tab to his Facebook account, and a post about a little girl with Down syndrome suddenly appeared. Brian would have missed it if it hadn’t been for the message on the post: “…Rejected by 15 families, and yearning for a loving home. Andrea is a lovely girl with special needs and wishes for a family.”

Brian sighed and stared at the post for a few minutes. He needed a family, and so did she. Life had been cruel to both of them in different ways, and perhaps this was God’s way of finally relieving him of pain.

Brian thought about the Facebook post all night, and he wondered if she should adopt the girl. As a single father, he knew the process would be difficult, but this girl really needed a loving home, and he knew he could give her that.

“All right then,” he told himself. “I’ll try.”

The next day, Brian called the number in the Facebook post and expressed his eagerness to adopt Andrea. The woman on the other end provided him with the contact information of the social worker in charge of Andrea’s case.

A few days later, Brian saw little Andrea for the first time, and his eyes welled up. She was a lovely little girl of six, dressed in a blue floral frock and staring at him with puzzled eyes.

Sadly, she was abandoned by her single mother because of her disability. “How sad,” Brian thought to himself as she entered the room.

“Hi, Andrea,” Brian told her gently. “I’m Brian. I’m here to become your parent. Would you like to have me as your dad?”

Andrea didn’t say anything, but she smiled and nodded at him. At that moment, Brian knew he would do anything to provide her with a loving home. And he did just that.

After the exhaustive documentation process, background verification, and parenting workshops, Brian was officially Andrea’s adoptive father and his life found new meaning. They were so happy with each other, so delighted. He was happy to become a father to a little girl again, and he couldn’t have wished for more.

They celebrated her birthdays together, and Brian’s parents loved Andrea too. He tried to be the best dad to her and ensured she never missed out on anything just because she was different from other children.

Brian didn’t even realize when Andrea turned 15 years old. Nine years passed so fast, but he felt as if he had brought his little girl home only yesterday. He was so happy with the turn his life had taken.

But a few months later, things started to get tough. Due to issues at work, Brian lost his job and had to hunt for a new one. He lived off his savings while searching for a job, which proved harder than he thought.

Eventually, things got to the point where he didn’t have enough money for basic necessities. He had to move to a smaller house and was struggling to make ends meet. But one day, help appeared out of nowhere.

Brian received a call from a man claiming to be Andrea’s mother’s lawyer.

“Yeah, so? What do you have to do with my child now?” Brian said angrily. “That woman abandoned my daughter right after birth, and you think I’d be willing to talk to you now?”

“Mr. Hoffman,” said the lawyer. “Trust me. You’d like to come to my office for this. As Andrea’s legal guardian, you will be receiving her mother’s million-dollar legacy on her behalf. And there is someone you should also meet. I’ll send you all the information following the call. I hope to see you this Friday,” he said and hung up.

Brian was understandably shocked. Why did Andrea’s mother leave her such a sizable inheritance if she wanted nothing to do with her child?

That Friday, Brian visited the lawyer’s office and met an old man there who turned out to be Andrea’s grandfather. He said he had no idea about his granddaughter until his daughter was on her deathbed, taking her last breath.

“Andrea,” she’d whispered, as she took his hand in hers. “Her name is Andrea…”

“I’ve missed out on so many years with my granddaughter,” he told Brian sadly. “I’d like to be there for her. I know you took her in legally, but I just want to be there for my grandchild. My daughter regretted abandoning her child in her final days… She was aware of her blunder, which is why she left her assets to her.”

Brian was more than happy to know Andrea had a family. In fact, he didn’t want to separate a granddaughter from her grandad.

Brian would soon take Andrea to her grandfather’s house regularly, so they could spend time together. And with the inheritance money, he paid off his debts and moved into a larger home while saving a considerable amount for Andrea’s future studies.

When he would visit Andrea’s mother’s grave sometimes, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. It made him believe she is content that her daughter had a good life and a loving home.

What can we learn from this story?

The ones who can give love always receive love. Brian was shattered after losing his family, but he still had a lot of love left in his heart. He gave that love to little Andrea, who returned it and became his new family.

You establish a family through love, not necessarily through blood. While Andrea’s biological mother abandoned her shortly after birth, Brian took her in and raised her with love.
