Arriving home a day early from a business trip, a man got into a taxi at the airport just after midnight. While enroute he asked the driver if he would be a witness, since he suspected his wife was having an affair and expected to catch her in the act.
The driver agreed. When they arrived at the man's house, they both tiptoed into the bedroom and turned on the lights. The husband rushed over to the bed, threw back the covers and found his wife in bed with another man.
As the husband held a gun to the man's head, his wife screamed, "Don't hurt him. This man has been very generous. Who do you think paid for that Porche I bought you? He did! Who do you think paid for our new yacht? He did!"
The husband looked over at the cab driver and asked, "What would you do in a case like this?"
"I'd cover him up fast before he catches cold!" replied the grinning driver.

A farmer had three sons. One day, his oldest came to him and said that since he was graduating high school, he would really like to get a car.
His father said, "Son, come here." He took him to the barn, pointed to the tractor and said, "This tractor is needed for the farm and I promise, as soon as it's paid for, we'll get you a car." The boy was not too happy, but was understanding. A week later, his second son approached him, wanting a motorcycle. "Well," the father said, "as soon as the tractor is paid for we'll see about getting you your scooter." Shortly after, his youngest was bugging him for a bike. Again, the father gave him the lecture about the tractor needing to be paid off first. While leaving the barn, the young boy, a little disgusted with his father's explanation, saw the farm rooster doing its "rooster duty" with one of the hens. He promptly went over and kicked the rooster off the hen's back, mumbling to himself. more...
