>> old man grinned and said, 'You got to keep the old motor running.'
>> The following year, the couple returned to the hospital for the birth of
>> their second child.
>> The same nurse was attending the delivery and again went out to
>> congratulate the old gentleman.
>> She said, 'Sir, you are something else. How do you manage it?'
>> The old man grinned and said, 'You gotta keep the old motor running.'
>> A year later, same thing with their third and, after the delivery, she
>> once again approached the old gentleman, smiled, and said, 'Well, you surely
>> are something else! How do you do it?'
>> The
>> old man said, 'Like I've told you before, you gotta keep the old motor
>> running.'
>>
>> The nurse, still smiling, patted him on the back and said. "Well, it's
>> time to change the oil. This one is black."

In a hurry to play golf
The man said to the dentist, "Doc, I'm in one hell of a hurry.! I have two buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to go play golf. So forget about the anesthetic and just pull the tooth and be done with it. We have a 10:00 AM tee time at the best golf course in town and it's 9:30 already. I don't have time to wait for the anesthetic to work!"
The dentist thought to himself, "My goodness, this is surely a very brave man asking to have his tooth pulled without using anything to kill the pain."
So the dentist asked him, "Which tooth is it sir?"
The man turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth, Honey, and show him."
