Happy Friday! This weekend brings Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer. Be sure to take some time to reflect on those who have died in service to this country.
How about a few sales jokes to kick off the holiday weekend?
Enjoy!
I have a friend who has a job selling freezers over the phone, she is great at cold calls.
I have a friend who just quit his job selling tire pumps, he just could not handle the pressure.
I have a friend who is a shoe salesman, he dances at work all day, he has a lot of sole.
I have a friend who is a pasta salesman, his commission is penne’s on the dollar.
I have a friend who was fired from his job selling amplifiers. It seems he did not achieve a sufficient volume of sales.
What do you have to know to be a real estate salesperson? Lots.
How did Yoda get his first lead? He used the SalesForce.
The salesperson showed us a PowerPoint presentation on the water park we’re going to. It has several slides.
I asked the toy store sales assistant if they had any Arnold Schwarzenegger action figures in store. She replied “Aisle B, back”.
The Sales Manager announced a sales contest for the current month. The winners will get to enter next month’s contest.

Happy Friday! It is the time of year for spring cleaning, so here are some jokes I dusted off for the occasion.
Enjoy!
I really hate spring cleaning. Those sillythings bounce all over the place.
I was pretty upset when my freezer stopped working, then I realized that it’s all just water under the fridge.
You never know what you have, until you clean your garage.
I recently built a car out of used and broken pieces of a washing machine. I cannot wait to take it for a spin.
I finished cleaning my bathroom mirror and I did such a good job that I ended just sitting there reflecting.
I heard that the best way to contact the spirit of a deceased window cleaner is with a Squeegee Board.
I recently saw a movie containing mild violence about cleaning supplies, it was rated Squeegee-13.
The highlight of my week was buying a new vacuum cleaner. Things are definitely picking up.
I have a friend wo got a job at the dry cleaners, but he got stressed out because he always mixed up the orders and he kept upsetting the customers. His boss made him do a hanger management course.
If you are wondering if I know any laundry puns, I’ve got loads of them.

Happy Friday! Happy Passover! Happy Easter! This week, instead of some jokes, I thought I would share a fun activity for the whole family.
Enjoy!
Peeps are in season! I assume that you are familiar with Peeps, the little marshmallow confection that has been around since 1953. They were originally promoted primarily at Easter-time but you can now find them at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and just about any time. They come in various shapes and colors but all are basically sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, food dyes and salt.
One of the great debates of modern time is whether it is better to eat Peeps “fresh” out of the box or to slit the cellophane and wait a day, a week or a month or two for the Peeps to properly age (get stale) before eating them. We can save that debate for another time.
This weekend, if you have some Peeps around, may a suggest some Peep Jousting? (If you do not have any you might even want to go out and obtain some for this event!) There is really not much preparation needed for Peep Jousting. All you need are Peeps, toothpicks, a plate and a microwave.
Take two Peeps, insert a toothpick in each Peep so that it looks like a lance, arrange the Peeps facing each other on a plate and put the plate in the microwave. Set the microwave for approximately 40 seconds and watch! Do not walk away from the microwave or you will miss all the fun! Now there are a few differing theories on how to determine the winner of the match: 1) the Peep whose lance touches the other Peep first wins, 2) the Peep who deflates first is the loser, or 3) the Peep that blows up first loses. Take you pick or invent your own. Sadly, there are no returning champions in Peep Jousting, this is a “one and done” sport.
I would not suggest eating the Peeps post-joust – they are hot, they are messy and believe or not, they lose their flavor in the combat.
So, this year, add a little Peep Jousting to liven up the afternoon.

Happy Friday! As we bring a close to March we are at the beginning of a new baseball season. It is that time of year when hope springs eternal! So, let me toss a few baseball jokes your way to kick the weekend off.
Enjoy!
I have a baseball joke to tell you. It will leave you in stitches.
How do baseball players stay Friends? They touch base every once in a while.
I heard that it is a good idea to take a baseball player with you when you go camping so that he can pitch the tent.
If you crossed a baseball pitcher with a carpet, would you get a throw rug?
Where did the baseball player wash his socks? In the bleachers.
What is the main rule of zebra baseball? Three stripes and you’re out.
What do baseball players use to bake a cake? Oven mitts, bunt pans, and batter.
Why did the baseball player shut down his website? He wasn’t getting any hits.
I once tried to kill a giant mouse with a baseball bat. Seems that I now have a lifetime ban from Disney World.
People say I’m too aggressive when I’m trading baseball cards. I will admit that I am Ruth-less.

Is it true that the most mediocre color is Meh-genta?
Is it true that only a mediocre person is always at their best?

Happy Friday and welcome to March! I have an anniversary coming up in a few days, so let’s kick his weekend off with some relationship jokes.
Enjoy!
For our anniversary, I gave my wife a small picture of me inside a pistachio. It’s just me in a nutshell.
I asked my wife if she’d like a new Diamond Ring to celebrate our anniversary. “Nothing would make me happier!” She replied. So, I got her nothing.
Our anniversary is coming up, so my wife told me that she would be happy as long as I get her something with a lot of diamonds in it. I think she is going to love this pack of playing cards.
My wife asked me, “Do you want dinner?” I replied, “I don’t know. What are my choices?” Her response, “Yes or no.”
I asked my wife which she liked better, my face or my body? She said, “Your sense of humor.”
I think arguing with your spouse is like trying to read the “Terms of Use” on the internet. Eventually, you just give up and say, “I Agree.”
I thought I won the argument with my wife about how to arrange the furniture; however, when I got home, the tables had turned.
My wife said she wanted to be treated like a princess for our anniversary. So, I invited seven little people over so she could make us dinner – now she’s mad at me.
My wife keeps telling me that I’m the cheapest person she has ever met, but I’m not buying it.
My wife and I often laugh about how competitive we are. But I laugh more.

Happy Friday! In case you have not noticed, Valentine’s Day is Tuesday. Before you head out to the store, I thought I would offer you a few useful tips on what NOT to get that special gal in your life.
Enjoy!

We have all heard, “It’s the thought that counts.” Yet, while that may be true, there certainly are limits on what will keep you in the good graces of your spouse around February 14. Heed my word to the wise and be sure to cross the following off your shopping list this weekend before it is too late.
Jumper cables – while these can come in quite handy, they will not jump start a romantic evening.
A coffee mug – another gift that, while it may be useful, just might get you roasted.
Pencil sharpener – even if she needs and wants a pencil sharpener, this is not the day for it. Hope you get my point.
A Roomba – give this for Valentine’s Day and she might set it to chase you around the house.
An oversized Teddy Bear – after the age of about six, a six-foot Teddy Bear is just kind of creepy.
A heart-shaped box of chocolates – the ultimate cliché gift. Life may be like a box of chocolates, but avoid the cheap heart-shaped box from the corner drug store.
A bouquet of salami – while a bouquet of flowers might be about as cliché as a box of chocolates, a bouquet of flowers is much better than a bouquet of salami, plus getting hit over the head with a bouquet of salmi hurts more than flowers.
Personalized socks with your picture on them- do you really want to see your face on her feet? Neither does she.
A hot sauce of the month subscription – it will only get you in hot water.
Novelty Toilet Paper – no, just no, nothing more needs to be said.
