Where is this place?

A man and his wife were driving their Recreational Vehicle across the country and were nearing a town spelled Kissimee.
They oted the strange spelling and tried to figure how to pronounce it - KISS-a-me; kis-A-me; kis-a-ME. They grew more
perplexed as they drove into the town.

Since they were hungry, they pulled into a place to get something to eat. At the counter, the man said to the waitress:

“My wife and I can’t seem to be able to figure out how to pronounce this place. Will you tell me where we are and say it
very lowly so that I can understand.”

The waitress looked at him and said: “Buuurrrgerrr Kiiiinnnng.”

A doctor is complaining to a mechanic

A doctor is talking to a car mechanic, “Your fee is several times more per hour then we get paid
for medical care.”

“Yeah, but you see, doc, you have always the same model, it hasn’t changed since Adam; but we
have to keep up to date with new models coming every month.”

Yummy Peanuts

A tour bus driver has a bus full of senior citizens. As he’s driving, the bus driver gets tapped
on the shoulder by a little old lady.

She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully eats. After about 15 minutes, she taps
him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts. She repeats this
gesture about five more times.

When she is about to hand him another batch of peanuts, the bus driver asks the little old lady
why she doesn’t eat them. “We can’t chew them because we’ve got no teeth”, she says.

So, the puzzled driver asks, Why do you buy them then?”

The little old lady replies, “We just love the chocolate around them!!”

Did you become a nurse in order to travel?

I am always interested to find out why one pursues a career in nursing. I for one love interacting with the people and ultimately making them better. But being a travel nurse is a great way to get to see our country and wonder how many people became a nurse in order to travel. Believe me I don’t blame you I would be doing it if I wasn’t ready to settle down and start a family…

Limo Driver

After getting all of Pope Benedict’s luggage loaded into the limo (and he doesn’t travel light),
the driver noticed that the Pope was still standing on the curb.

“Excuse me, Your Eminence,” said the driver, “would you please take your seat so we can
leave?”

“Well, to tell you the truth,” said the Pope, “they never let me drive at the Vatican, and I’d really
like to drive today.”

“I’m sorry, but I cannot let you do that. I’d lose my job! And what if something should happen?”
protested the driver, wishing he’d never gone to work that morning.

“There might be something extra in it for you,” said the Pope.

Reluctantly, the driver got in the back as the Pope climbed in behind the wheel. The driver
quickly regretted his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Supreme Pontiff floored it,
accelerating the limo to 105 mph.

“Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!” pleaded the worried driver, but the Pope kept the pedal to
the metal until they heard sirens.

“Oh no, I’m gonna lose my license,” moaned the driver.

The Pope pulled over and rolled down the window as the cop approached, but the cop took
one look at him, went back to his motorcycle, and got on the radio.

“I need to talk to the Chief,” he said to the dispatcher. The Chief got on the radio and the cop
told him that he’d stopped a limo going a hundred and five.

“So bust him,” said the Chief.

“I don’t think we want to do that; he’s really important,” said the cop.

Then the Chief exclaimed, “All the more reason!”

“No, I mean really important,” said the cop.

The Chief then asked, “Who ya got there, the mayor?”

Cop: “Bigger.”

Chief: “Governor?”

Cop: “Bigger.”

“Well,” said the Chief, “who is it?”

Cop: “I think it’s God!”

Chief: “What makes you think it’s God?”

Cop: “He’s got the Pope for a limo driver!”
