“JUST FOR MEN” HAIR DYE adverts
don’t work because the good looking
guy with black or grey hair looks

eyes pop and then maybe I’ll start
paying attention.

TWO PRIESTS WERE WALKING
down the street when a very drunk


man approached them. Turning to
the first priest, he said, “Hello, I’m
Jesus Christ.”
“No you’re not,” the priest replied.
So the man turned to the second
priest and said, “I’m Jesus Christ.”
“No, son,” the priest replied,
“you’re certainly not.” Getting
frustrated, the drunken man told the
priests that he could prove it, if
they’d follow him to the nearest bar.
As they entered, the barman took
one look at the drunk man and
shouted, “Jesus Christ, not you again!”
