“This guy called up his lawyer to tell him he was filing for divorce, and the lawyer inquired as to the grounds for the suit. ‘I’ve got grounds, all right,’ sputtered the irate husband. ‘Can you believe my wife told me I’m a lousy lover?’ ‘That’s why you’re suing?’ pursued his lawyer. ‘Of course not. I’m suing because she knows the difference.’”

We have Gym Barbie for $19.95, Ball Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $375.00.’ ‘Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00 when all the others are $19.95?’ Ralph asked, surprised. The manager replied, ‘Well, Divorced Barbie comes with Ken’s car, Ken’s house, Ken’s boat, Ken’s dog, Ken’s cat, and Ken’s furniture.”

“Sally Mullihan of Coral Springs, Florida, decided to take one of the jobs that most Americans are not willing to do. The woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed to be far too qualified for the job. She had a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan and had worked as a social worker and schoolteacher. The foreman frowned and said, ‘I have to ask you: have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?’ ‘Well, as a matter of fact, I have! I’ve been divorced three times and owned 2 Chryslers.’”
12. You Be the Judge!
“A man and his young wife were in divorce court, but the custody of their children posed a problem. The mother leaped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them. The man also wanted custody of his children, so the judge asked for his justification. After a long silence, the man slowly rose from his chair and replied, ‘Your Honor, when I put a dollar in a vending machine and a Coke comes out, does the Coke belong to me or the machine?’”
“My friend asked me, ‘Why are you getting a divorce?’ I responded, ‘My wife wasn’t home the entire night, and in the morning, she said she spent the night at her sister’s house.’ He said, ‘So?’ And I responded, ‘She’s lying. I spent the night at her sister’s house!’”
“I challenged my ex-wife to do the ‘Ice Bucket Challenge.’ This will be the first time the water starts out warm and turns into ice.”
