An elderly Beefy walks into a confessional. The following conversation ensues:

Beefy: 'I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Yesterday, I picked up two college girls, hitch-hiking. We went to a hotel, where I had sex with each of them three times.'

Following on from Talksaft's selection of witty historic 'put downs'.

It's well documented that Lady Astor and Winston Churchill did not get on.

Lady Astor. " You Mr Churchill are drunk"

Churchill :- " And you Lady Astor are ugly. In the morning I shall be sober where as you will still be ugly"

ONE MORE

Lady Astor:- "If you were my husband Mr Churchill I would poison you."

Churchill:- " And if I were your husband, I would drink it".

A 75-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The Receptionist said, 'Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?'

'There's something wrong with my dick', he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, 'You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that.'

'Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you,' he said.

The Receptionist replied; 'Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something, and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.'

The man replied, 'You shouldn't ask people questions in a roomful of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone.

The man then decided to walk out, waited several minutes, and then re-entered.

The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, 'Yes??'

'There's something wrong with my ear,' he stated.

The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. 'And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?'

'I can't piss out of it,' he replied.

The waiting room erupted in laughter.

Mess with seniors and you're going to lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was in a very posh Restaurant last week and had a fantastic meal but I couldn`t eat it all so I asked the waiter for a "Doggy bag".
He said, "Why sir, has your dog just had a shit in here?"

To the bloke who keeps letting his dog shit on my lawn and then absently-minded forgets to pick up the turds.

Don`t panic. I know you live at No28, and I`ll pop them through your letterbox. Probably late at night and possibly on fire.
