Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

A man was sitting on a plane when the passenger next to him pulled out a laptop and started working nonstop.

After two hours, the man finally asked, "Wow... do you always work during flights?" The passenger sighed, "No, I'm just pretending to look busy so nobody talks to me."

The man nodded slowly and said, "That's smart." Then he sat quietly for a full minute before asking, "So... what are you working on?"

Four beer company CEOs walked into a bar…

The CEO of Budweiser ordered a Bud Light.

The CEO of Miller ordered a Miller Light.

The CEO of Coors ordered a Coors Light.

The CEO of Guinness ordered a Coke.

The first three asked the CEO of Guinness why he didn't order a Guinness, to which he replied: "I figured if you 3 weren't ordering beer it would be rude for me to."

From June 2014:

Mabon "Teenie" Hodges may have been small in physical size but his legacy was massive; his 50-year career and body of work serving as one of the cornerstones of the Memphis sound.

Mr. Hodges died Sunday night at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, from complications of emphysema. He'd been taken to Baylor following an appearance at Austin's South by Southwest music festival in March after coming down with pneumonia. He was 68 years old.

During Hi Records' glory years starting in the late '60s, Mr. Hodges wrote or co-wrote many classics of the R&B genre, including a succession of hits with and for Al Green: "Here I Am," "Full of Fire," "Take Me to the River" and "Love and Happiness."

In more recent years, Mr. Hodges had been the subject of a documentary by filmmaker Susanna Vapnek. Starting in 2008, Vapnek spent several years shooting Hodges in and around his Memphis home base, interviewing family, friends and collaborators, capturing recording sessions and piecing together a narrative of his life.

One of the documentary's funniest moments comes as Hodges lists the names of all the artists who covered his "Take Me to the River" (the Talking Heads, Annie Lennox, Tina Turner), before noting that the use of the tune by the animatronic singing toy "Big Mouth Billy Bass" had produced the biggest royalties. "What a world, what a world," Mr. Hodges would note, laughing at the brilliant absurdity of the situation.

Police Arrest Man for Trying to Pass Off NASCAR Race Truck as Street-Legal Chevy S10

A Pennsylvania man faces felony fraud, theft, and deception charges after state police accused him of illegally disguising a NASCAR race truck as street legal. Yancy Cupp of Williamsport allegedly swapped a Vehicle Identification Number plate onto the truck that did not belong to it originally. He reportedly then used that VIN to title the purpose-built track vehicle for road use.

Pennsylvania State Police issued a press release, saying the truck was advertised as a street-legal 1999 Chevy S10 in an eBay listing. The for-sale ad claimed the conversion was performed by its former NASCAR owner, though said former owner explicitly denied the claim. "A physical examination of the vehicle by investigators confirmed it was not street legal," the police wrote.

Photos show the truck when it ran at the NASCAR Bristol dirt race in 2023. It looks almost identical now, except the headlights and taillights are functional units; the truck's previous iteration only had stickers to make it look like they were present. The Silverado-bodied truck even runs the same 406-cubic-inch V8 as it did back in its glory days.

The major issue here, in the Pennsylvania State Police's eye, is that Cupp may have fraudulently installed a VIN plate from an unrelated vehicle.

That's why law enforcement has thrown the book at him. Officially, he's being charged with dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities; alteration or destruction of a vehicle identification number; theft by deception; forgery; criminal use of a communication facility; deceptive business practices; false application for a certificate of title or registration; tampering with public records; and board of vehicle violations.

Isn't the usual way to handle these kinds of situations to scrawl "FARM USE" on the side and carry on?
