Marriage jokes

A father and son go into a Pharmacy and they happen to walk past a condom aisle. The son asks his father why there are so many different boxes of condoms. The father replies, "Well, you see that 3 pack? That's for when you're in college. You have 2 for Friday night and 1 for Saturday night."   

Nodding agreement, the son asks his father, "Then what's the 6 pack for?"
"That's for when you're in university," the father says. "You have 2 for Friday night, 2 for Saturday night, and 2 for Sunday morning."    

Following this line of logic, the son enthusiastically asks so what is the 12 pack is for.
"That's for when you're married, son. You have one for January, one for February, one for March . . ."

Jake is just about to take a strike to score a winning goal at a amateur football match in his local park when all of a sudden, a long funeral procession passes by. He stops in mid swing, solemnly looks down, closes his eyes and bows in prayer. Other players stop in shock of his actions and then join him as they seem deeply impressed. One player says "That's the most thoughtful and touching thing I've ever seen,".

 Jake then replies, "Yeah, well, we were married 35 years."

Religious jokes

A priest was walking down the street looking sad.
"What happened," asked a parishioner?
"I am afraid someone from the parish stole my umbrella."
"Here's what you do, priest. Next sermon talk about the 10 commandments and look around when you quote ‘thou shall not steal' and see who bows his head in shame."
The next week the priest walks happily down the avenue, twirling his umbrella.
The smart parishioner says "I see my advice worked."
"Not exactly," said the priest, "when I reached ‘Thou shall not commit adultery', I remembered where I forgot it."

"But- where is your beard?" asks his mother upon seeing him.
"Mama," he replies, "In America, nobody wears a beard."
"But at least you keep the Sabbath," mama asks.

Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying. Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"

So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I smoke while I pray?" The Priest replies, "No, my son, you may not! That's utter disrespect to our religion." Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.

Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try." And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I pray while I smoke?"

To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means. You can always pray whenever you want to."

Golf jokes

A retiree was given a set of golf clubs by his co-workers. Thinking he'd try the game, he asked the local pro for lessons, explaining that he knew nothing whatever of the game.
The pro showed him the stance and swing, and then said "Just hit the ball toward the flag on the first green."
     The novice teed up and smacked the ball straight down the fairway and onto the green, where it stopped inches from the hole.
                        "Now what?" the fellow asked the speechless pro.
"Uh...errr…you're supposed to hit the ball into the cup" the pro finally said, after he was able to speak again.

The retiree replied, "Oh great! NOW you tell me!"

A couple met at Hilton hotel and fell in love. They were discussing how they would continue the relationship after their vacations were over. "It's only fair to warn you, Jody, I'm a golf nut. I live, eat, sleep and breathe golf."
"Well, since you're being honest, so will I," she said. "I'm a hooker."
"I see," said Bill as he thought for a moment. "Well, it's probably because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."
