"I saw the five o'clock news too. I just didn't think the guy was dumb enough to jump again!"

There was an old country sheriff who always said, "It could have been worse." No matter what happened, the old sheriff always had the same answer: "It could have been worse."

One day, two deputies in the sheriff's office answered an emergency call at a farmhouse. When they walked in, they found the nude bodies of a man and a woman in the bedroom. They had been shot to death. When they went to the living room, they found the body of a man with a gun at his side.

"No doubt about it," one deputy said to the other. "This was a double murder and suicide. This guy came home and found his wife in bed with somebody else and shot them both. Then he shot himself."

' How?'
' Well, I saw him looking at my beard and he said,' I bet that's a false beard,' How much? I said, and he said $5'
' What happened? ' asked the father.
' Well he tugged my beard which is quite natural and I made him give me $5. I'm sure that'll teach him a lesson!'

He bet me $10 on Monday that he'd pull your beard with your permission by the end of the week!'

So the Pope is standing there thinking, "Uh oh, what am I going to do? I never thought she'd be able to do it." So he thinks to himself for a minute and then he turns to her and says,"I bet you I can make every Irish person in the crowd go wild, not just now, but for the rest of the week, with just one nod of my head." The Queen goes, "No way, it can't be done." So the Pope headbutts her.
