1. The Clinic Hustle
A doctor, struggling to find work, sets up a clinic with an unusual promise:
GET TREATMENT FOR $20! – IF NOT CURED, GET BACK $100!
A lawyer, always on the lookout for easy money, decides to outsmart him.
“Doc, I’ve lost my sense of taste,” he says smugly.

The doctor calls for some “medicine” and puts three drops into the lawyer’s mouth.
“Ugh! This is kerosene!”
“And congratulations! Your sense of taste is restored. That’ll be $20.”
Determined, the lawyer returns days later.
“I’ve lost my memory. I can’t remember a thing,” he says.
The doctor nods, calls for the same medicine, and repeats the process.

“This is kerosene!” the lawyer shouts.
“Congratulations, your memory’s back. That’ll be $20.”
Fuming, the lawyer returns one last time.
“Now, my eyesight is failing, Doc,” he says.
The doctor sighs and hands him a $20 bill.

“Sorry, I guess I can’t help you…”
The lawyer squints at the note in his hands.
“But this is only $10!”
“And there you go! Congratulations, your eyesight is restored. That’ll be $20.”

2. Jungle Survival 101
A lost dog quickly finds himself in a jungle when a lion approaches, licking its chops. Thinking quickly, the dog pretends to munch on some bones.

The lion stops in his tracks.
“Wait… this guy eats lions? I’m out of here!”

A sneaky monkey sees everything and tips the lion off. Furious, the lion drags the monkey along to confront the dog.
Spotting them, the dog panics for a second and then yells,
“Where’s that monkey? I told him to bring me another lion an hour ago!”

“New girls in the house!”
And they all laugh even harder.

7. Farm Rock Band
On a farm, a horse had always dreamed of being a musician. Every day, he’d stand in the pasture, strumming air guitar with his hoof and imagining himself rocking out in front of a massive crowd.
Finally, one day, he decided to make it happen. He called a music shop.
“I’m a horse, but I really want to learn.”
“Not a problem,” said the manager. “Lessons start on Monday.”

Soon, the horse was rocking out in the barn. One day, the sheep wandered over.
“That’s amazing!” the sheep said. “I’ve always wanted to play drums. Think your teacher would work with me?”
“Of course!” the horse said.
The sheep started lessons, and before long, they were jamming together. Then the chicken came by.
“You two sound great! I’ve always wanted to sing.”

A few months later, the trio formed a band. Their songs went viral, and soon they were booked for a world tour. At the airport, as they were boarding the plane, the horse went to the restroom, missing the flight.
As he returned to the farm, he heard that the plane had crashed, and all passengers were lost.
Devastated, the horse wandered into a bar.
The bartender saw him.
“Hey there, buddy, what’s wrong?”
The horse looked up.
“I just lost my best friends.”
“Okay, but why the long face?”

8. Baby Boom Drama
Four men are pacing nervously in a hospital waiting room while their wives are in labor. It’s tense, but finally, a nurse steps out and addresses the first man.
“Congratulations, sir! Your wife has given birth to twins!”
The man grins.
“Twins? That’s wild. I work for the Minnesota Twins baseball team!”
Everyone chuckles at the coincidence.

Moments later, the nurse returns to the second man.
“Congratulations! Your wife just delivered triplets!”
“What are the odds?” he exclaims. “I work for 3M.”
Not long after, the nurse reappears.
“Great news! Your wife had quadruplets!” she tells the third man.

The guy’s eyes widen.
“Unbelievable! I work for Four Seasons Hotels!”
The room erupts in applause, but then everyone notices the fourth man. He’s sitting in a corner, pale as a ghost, smacking his forehead against the wall.
“Sir, are you alright?” the nurse asks.
“No, I’m doomed!” he groans. “I’m in advertising… for 7UP!”

9. Castaway Mystery

10. The Wisdom Letdown
One day, an angel appears before a man in a puff of heavenly smoke.
“You’ve lived a life of such goodness and virtue that I’m granting you a single gift. Choose wisely. I can make you the most handsome man in the world, give you infinite wisdom, or bestow upon you limitless wealth.”
The man, after a moment of deep thought, puffs out his chest.
“I choose wisdom!”

“So it shall be!” the angel declares, disappearing in another puff of smoke.
The man feels a rush of energy as divine wisdom floods into his mind. He sits for a moment, soaking in his newfound brilliance.
“Wow, I really should have picked the money.”

11. The Dance That Took Forever
A guy asks his crush to the big school dance, and to his amazement, she says yes.
Now he has to prep.
First, he rents a suit, but the line at the rental place wraps around the block. He waits, and waits, and waits, but finally gets the suit.
Next, he goes to buy flowers. Again, the line is ridiculous. It’s like every couple in town decided they needed a bouquet that same day. But after what feels like forever, he gets his flowers and heads home.

On the night of the dance, he picks up his date, and as expected, there’s an insanely long line to get into the venue. After waiting yet again, they finally make it inside.
The music’s great, the atmosphere is electric, and his date is clearly having a blast.
Midway through, she asks him for a drink.
“Of course!” he says, eager to impress.
He heads to the drinks table, scanning for the punch.
And there’s no punchline.

12. Everyone Knows Dave
Dave, a lovable braggart, is always telling people that he knows everyone. One day at work, his boss decides to call him out.
“Alright, Dave, prove it,” he says. “Do you know Tom Cruise?”
“Tom? We’re old friends,” Dave replies confidently.
The boss is skeptical but curious, so they fly out to Hollywood. When they knock on Tom Cruise’s door, the actor himself answers, beaming.

“Dave! Long time no see! Come in, let’s grab a beer!”
The boss is floored but still unconvinced.
“That’s just one guy. What about someone important… like, say, President Obama?”
“Sure thing!” Dave replies.
They head to Washington, D.C., where Obama spots Dave on a White House tour.

“Dave!” he exclaims. “What a pleasant surprise! Come on in, let’s have a cup of tea.”
The boss is starting to sweat but refuses to back down.
“Okay, okay… what about the Pope? You can’t possibly know the Pope.”
Dave just grins.
“Let’s go to the Vatican, then.”
They arrive in Rome, and St. Peter’s Square is packed with a sea of people waiting to see the Pope. Dave sighs.

“Listen, it’ll take forever for him to notice me down here. Give me ten minutes, I’ll go up to the balcony with him.”
Before the boss can object, Dave vanishes into the crowd. Sure enough, ten minutes later, he appears on the balcony, smiling and waving alongside the Pope.
The boss stares up in shock, and the stranger next to him nudges him.
“Hey! Who’s that old guy up there with Dave?”

I Fell Asleep on My Husband in the Plane but Shockingly Woke up on Another Man’s Shoulder
My husband and I had just boarded a flight to Miami when I fell asleep on his shoulder. Later, I woke and found my husband gone and a mysterious man in his spot! He hushed me before I could scream, and urgently whispered, “Your husband is not who he seems to be…”
When Jerry took on that new project six months ago, I knew it would be demanding. I just didn’t realize it would consume him entirely, leaving me feeling like an unwanted piece of luggage in our marriage.

Late nights, weekends away—our relationship was becoming a ghost town. Conversations were strained, his eyes always glazed over with disinterest whenever I tried to talk about us. It felt like I was screaming into a void.
So, when Jerry suggested postponing our week-long vacation to Miami, I stood my ground.
“Everything’s already booked,” I told him firmly. “We can’t cancel.”
“We have to,” he snapped. “My project has reached a crucial phase. Or have you forgotten that some of us don’t have the luxury of living off investments?”

“Jerry, you know darn well that I don’t ‘live off my investments,’ like some trust fund baby,” I retorted, rolling my eyes. “I also work and have career aspirations and job responsibilities.”
He always brought up money when he wasn’t getting his way and I was not going to cave to his tactics this time!
“Besides, your leave has already been approved and, like I said, we can’t cancel.”
Jerry let out a long-suffering sigh. “Fine. Not like you’d miss the deposit if we did, but you’re the boss, right?”

See why we needed this vacation so badly? Jerry and I couldn’t carry on like this anymore. We were living past each other, and it would ruin our marriage if we didn’t do something about it immediately.
I started packing immediately. That Friday, we loaded our baggage in the car and headed to the airport. I was thrilled, and even Jerry started smiling as we headed into the building.
I took this as a good sign, but I soon found out it was anything but!

On the plane, I let my exhaustion take over. Jerry’s shoulder seemed like a sanctuary, a fleeting moment of closeness I desperately clung to. I woke some time later, as the pilot announced we were approaching our destination.
“I slept the whole flight?” I muttered. “Baby, you should’ve…”
But my words died in my throat when I looked up and realized the man beside me was not Jerry. Panic surged through me.

I straightened and was about to scream when he said something that turned my world upside down.
“Your husband is not who he seems to be. He’s lying to you.”
“What?” My heart pounded, confusion swirling in my mind. “Stop being mysterious. Who are you and what the hell is going on?!”

“We don’t have much time. I saw you and your husband at the airport, and I thought you needed to know. When he returns to you in a few minutes, behave as usual.”
I stared at him, trying to process his words. “What do you mean?”
“I’m Michael. I met a girl named Sophie at the airport. I liked her, and flirted with her, but then I overheard her phone conversation with another man. They talked about him ditching his wife to spend time with her.”

“What’s that got to do with me?” I asked. “You can’t mean to suggest—”
“I saw you fall asleep on your husband’s shoulder soon after takeoff. Fifteen minutes later, I saw him get up and go to meet Sophie.” He gestured to the narrow arch at the end of the aisle. “They were flirting and acting like they’ve known each other for years. Your husband is the guy she spoke to on the phone.”
My world shattered.

I couldn’t believe it. Jerry, my Jerry, was cheating on me? I struggled to reconcile Michael’s words with the image of my husband. Could it be true?
“You can’t know that for sure,” I said.
Michael smiled kindly at me and placed a hand on my shoulder. “I could be wrong… but I don’t think I am. I’m sorry you had to find out this way.”
He slipped out of Jerry’s seat and headed to an empty seat near the back of the cabin.

I was in so much shock that I jumped when Jerry dropped into the seat Michael had vacated.
“You’re awake,” he declared with a big grin. “Ready for our holiday?”
All I could do was stare at him. He frowned slightly, but then the speakers crackled again with the usual instructions about passengers returning to their seats and fastening their seatbelts.
I decided then that I needed to see for myself if Michael was right. I resolved to act normally, to observe Jerry, and confirm the truth.

Upon arriving in Miami, Jerry seemed his usual charming self, engaging in light-hearted conversations and romantic gestures.
For a moment, I doubted Michael’s story. But then, Jerry got a phone call. He stepped out onto the balcony to take it, but soon returned with a grim look on his face.
“Sorry, honey, but I have to fly home immediately. There’s an emergency with the project. But I’ll be back by Wednesday, I swear.”

My heart sank, but I masked my hurt and suspicion, pretending to understand and support him.
“Of course, I understand. Work is important,” I said, forcing a smile.
“Thanks, Jess. I knew you’d get it,” Jerry replied, kissing my forehead.
He grabbed his suitcase, which he hadn’t even started unpacking, and headed for the door. As soon as Jerry left the room, I hurried to follow him.

I needed to know the truth, even if it meant breaking my own heart. I kept a safe distance as I followed Jerry downstairs. He jumped into a cab parked near the entrance. I immediately jumped into a cab as well and asked the driver to follow Jerry.
It soon became clear that Jerry was not headed to the airport. My heart sank as his cab eventually pulled up outside a luxury hotel.
And then my worst fears were confirmed.

A gorgeous redhead woman in a bikini and sarong ran up to Jerry and threw herself into his arms. He twirled her around, both of them laughing, and then he kissed her.
I felt a mix of anger, heartbreak, and betrayal, but I remained composed. This was it—the moment of truth. I wasn’t going to let Jerry continue deceiving me.
I paid the driver then made my way into the hotel, my mind racing with a plan.

I headed out to the bar by the pool and waited. Soon, Jerry and Sophie appeared. They sat on loungers near the pool, laughing and acting like a carefree couple.
The sight of them together made my stomach churn, but I kept my cool and ordered a cocktail. The moment Jerry walked off and jumped into the pool, I headed toward Sophie with my drink.
I paused near her chair and gazed down at her, lying in the sun with her eyes shut, skin gleaming with tanning oil. She wouldn’t even see this coming.

With a flick of my wrist, I threw my entire drink over Sophie, ice blocks and all. She squealed like a piglet as the cold liquid splashed over her.
“Whoopsy,” I said, struggling to keep a straight face.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” she snapped, leaping to her feet. “Learn to look where you’re going, moron!”
I was taken aback by the venom in her voice, but before I could reply, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

“Sophie, darling, what’s wrong?” Jerry shoved past me and rushed to Sophie’s side.
“So you are having an affair,” I said.
Jerry’s head snapped up when I spoke. His gaze fixed on me and I watched the blood drain from his face.
“Oh my God, Jessica? What are you doing here?”
“Catching you red-handed, you lying cheater!”

“This is your wife?” Sophie said, looking me up and down. “That’s great. Now, we can finally be together, Jerry.” She turned to him, starry-eyed. “You can dump her, and we can start our new life together, just like you promised.”
I looked at Sophie, feeling a surge of triumph. “You think you’ll be living the high life with Jerry? Good luck with that. Everything is in my name. You’ll have to live on his charm alone.”
Sophie’s face fell, and she rounded on Jerry

“You told me everything was yours! You said we’d be set!”
Jerry tried to ignore her, his eyes pleading with me. “Jessica, please, let’s talk about this.”
I shook my head, my voice steady. “There’s nothing left to talk about, Jerry. It’s over.”
I turned and walked away, my heart heavy but resolute.

Back home, I started divorce proceedings immediately. I also contacted Michael to thank him for his honesty and support.
We met for dinner a few days later, and I found comfort in his presence.
“Thank you for everything,” I said, looking into his eyes. “I’d still be living a lie if you hadn’t approached me on the plane.”
Michael smiled, reaching across the table to take my hand. “I’m just glad I could help.”

As we finished dinner, I felt a connection beginning to form. It wasn’t the fairytale ending I had once dreamed of, but it was real and honest.
The trip to Miami wasn’t the romantic rekindling I’d hoped for, but it was the start of a journey to self-discovery and resilience.
I walked away from a toxic marriage, stood up for myself, and found the strength to start anew. And in the process, I discovered that sometimes, the best beginnings come from the most unexpected endings.
