That joke about "get a hold of yourself" reminds me of another joke:
a guy goes to the doctor, he complains that he doesn't have enough energy to have sex with his wife .
so the doctor says "well do you perform sex outside of the marriage ?"
and he says "Yes ."
well tell me about it .
so the guy says "I do it with the downstairs maid three times a week."
the doctor said "well,that's not too much."
then he said "I do it with the upstairs maid three times a week".
The doctor said "3+3 is six, that's getting to be pretty much ."
then he says , "I do it with the cook three times a week."
and the doctor says "well three and three and three is nine , my god , that's just too much sir ,you've got to get a hold of yourself !!!!!"
and he says "I do , three times a week."

No applause , save it for the end.
I'm sorry there wasn't a pun there , I just wasn't in a punny mood today.

Does anyone know if Gary Hallock still alive, he owes me for several copies of "Pun Intended"

Mrs. Smith had a maid named Mabel , and Mabel
asked Mrs. Smith "Can my boyfriend Leroy come visit us for a few days , he's got some time off from the army?" Mrs. Smith says "why of course he can come visit us Mabel ; how long is your boyfriend's furlough?" Mabel thought and thought and thought , and finally said "His furlough is just as long as Mr. Smith's furlough, but it's a lot thicker."

The only trouble is, it's a little bit racist and nowadays if you're racist, they come and decapitate you.

yeah it's just like that movie Young Frankenstein where Gene Wilder and Teri Garr were riding along in a Haywagon and she asked Gene if he would like to "Go fur a roll in Zie hay?" and Gene's eyes get as big as pancakes , Teri says "it's fun rolling see back-and-forth in the hay like this" i.e., to Genes disappointment she didn't mean any fooling around stuff.
Yes, I really liked her. when I was working at NASA in Houston, She was making a movie down in Seabrook and I had such a crush on her .I decided to meet her by buying her flowers and having them delivered to the front desk of her hotel, and of course she would come down for them I guess or she would just ignore them and then when she came down, I would go up and introduce myself and she would say something like "get out of my life you idiot "
I heard she came down with some kind of bad disease.

Talking about larger bills , I remember a show way way back (this is an example of how my memory can remember tiny little details ) , in the show this fellow was kept in a mental hospital (I've never been in one, I don't think) even though he had no mental problems , it was just a mistake, him being kept in a mental hospital all those years there made him kind of retarded so he worked with his caseworker and she got him out into the public and he went into a diner and the waitress said "well that'll be $7.22 " and he paid with a 50 ,and she said "don't you have anything smaller " so he put the bills on his lap and looked at them closely. He told her "no , they're all the same size " He thought a smaller bill meant the bill was actually smaller in physical size. The reality is that all bills are exactly the same size and you can print stupid numbers on them supposedly making them worth more or less, like one bill might have a one printed on it, another might have 1000 on it , which just shows the arbitrary nature of our monetary system, and how it will cause all of us to die.

Just be glad you did not live in pre-decimal England.
OK. I'm thankful.
But not pence - ive.
I'm going to pound you to a pulp.
I am not going to be a guinea pig for your delusions There is a word very similar to ha penny which describes you : a ha wit.
But I do not do things half way.

well, I guess so . I saw a really boffo one by him and what it was there was a surgeon about to perform a brain operation. He's looking at a patient's head saying "Gee , I just don't know how to proceed " Then it showed the back of the guy's head and there was writing which read "Insert thumb under tab. pull firmly along dotted lines."

words --
"cut along the dotted line” When The surgeon say it he was laughing so hard
he almost could
not operate.

Actually, after a few (admittedly rare) mistakes where the wrong organ
was operatied on, it became standard practice to do just that ahead of
the operation to reduce the chance if such an error.

every last lady that I see walking along with those big tears in her blue jeans , and I mean every lady not just ones know , I go up to them and say "You have trouble getting through that Barbwire fence , did you?" She usually hits me with her purse like Ruth Buzzi, and then I'll tell her "I live on a ranch , I fix barbed wire fences all the time " and then she'll say "I don't give a damn"

And they pay extra for the tearing to produce pants/etc that my parents
would have tossed as worn-out on sight.

I went into a restaurant. There was a waitress about 20 years old. She had torn up jeans like that. I didn't know her from Adam and I told her "well , you must've had an accident crawling through a barbed-wire fence". She said "oh you, other people have told me that, I'm sick of that joke , here's your pop tart"

I can guarantee you doing macho work on a pecan ranch like fixing fences, crawling through them time and time again will just rip your clothes to unrecognizable shreds. You couldn't even go into town wearing them because you'll be arrested for indecency.

Mrs. Smith had a maid named Mabel , and Mabel
asked Mrs. Smith "Can my boyfriend Leroy come visit us for a few days , he's
got some time off from the army?" Mrs. Smith says "why of course he can come
visit us Mabel ; how long is your boyfriend's furlough?" Mabel thought and
thought and thought , and finally said "His furlough is just as long as Mr.
Smith's furlough, but it's a lot thicker.”
Your dementia is acting up again --- you are repeating yourself more and
more. It's just as funny the 10,000th time as the first time.
So you told me 9,999 times.
