Ben went on safari with his wife and mother-in-law. One evening, while still deep in the jungle, his wife awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother.
Ben picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her.
In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight – the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her.
The wife said: ”What are we going to do?”
”Nothing,” said Ben, ”The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it.”

A man woke up in the morning deeply repentant after a bitter fight he’d had with his wife the previous night.
He noticed with dismay the crate of beer bottles that had caused the fight. He took it outside and started smashing the empty bottles one by one onto a wall.
He smashed the first bottle swearing: “You are the reason I fight with my wife.”
He smashed the second bottle: “You are the reason I don’t love my children.”
He smashed the third bottle: “You are the reason I don’t have a decent job.”
When he took the fourth bottle, he realised it was still sealed and full. He hesitated for only a moment and said: “You stand aside. I know you weren’t involved.”

A lonely 70-year-old widow decided it was time to marry again. She put an ad in the local newspaper that read: “Husband wanted! Must be in my age group, must not beat me, must not run around on me and must still be good in bed. All applicants please apply in person.”
The following day, she heard the doorbell. She opened the door and much to her dismay saw a grey-haired gentleman sitting in a wheelchair. He had no arms or legs.
“You’re not really asking me to consider you, are you?” the widow asked. “Just look at you, you have no legs!”
The old gent smiled: “Therefore, I cannot run around on you!”
“You don’t have any arms either!” she snorted.
Again, the old man smiled: “Therefore, I can never beat you!”
She raised an eyebrow and asked intently: “Are you still good in bed?”
The old man leaned back, beamed a big smile and said: “I rang the doorbell, didn’t I?”
