Grandpa and granddaugher were sitting talking when she asked, Did God make you, Grandpa?

Yes, God made me, the grandfather answered.

A few minutes later, the little girl asked him, Did God make me too?

Yes, He did, the older man answered.

For a few minutes, the little girl seemed to be studying her grandpa, as well as her own reflection in the mirror, while her grandfather wondered what was running through her mind.

To the Irishman he says Youre in charge of shovelling.

To the Chinese guy, Youre in charge of supplies.

He then says Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that there pile.

So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, but when he returns the pile of sand is untouched.

The foreman is really angry now, and storms off toward the pile of sand looking for the Chinese guy.

Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from behind the pile of sand and yells…

THREE BULLETS

A woman was pregnant with triplets when a robber came through her door and shot her three times. One bullet went into each of the children.

At the hospital, the doctor told her that all of her children were fine, but that sometime in their lives, they would pass the bullets in their stool.

Years later, one of the woman’s teen-age daughters approached her and said, Mom! Youll never guess what happened!

Mom said, You passed a bullet, didnt you? Shocked at her mothers reply, the daughter asked how she knew, and Mom told her the story.

A week later the other teenage daughter had the same experience. Mom! she said, Youll never guess what happened to me! Mom guessed correctly, sat her down and told her the story.

The following week, the womans teen-age son approached her and exclaimed, Mom! Youll never guess what happended to me!

You pooped a bullet, didnt you?

No, said the son. I was jacking off and I killed the dog!
