Pet Toad Joke


The Widow And The Toad


A widow was feeling very lonely and decided that the best thing to do would be to find a companion. So, off she went to the pet shop. She wasn't sure just what kind of pet she'd like, so she figured she'd just walk around until she found just the 'right one.' She went past the adorable little puppies, past the playful kittens, past the preening parrots, past the sleeping hamsters, past the whirling gerbils, and past the colourful fish in there huge tank.


Nothing really appealed to her or seemed to be what she was looking for. She decided to look around the store again. On the way over to the puppies, she walked by a barrel. At the bottom of the barrel was a rather ugly looking toad. But when she looked in, he winked at her! The poor widow shook with surprise! She couldn't believe it and quickly went back to the other pets on display.

Once again, she checked out those sweet little puppies, the darling kittens, the fluttering birds, the fuzzy hamsters, the sleek gerbils, and the darting fish. Nothing really, really did it for her. She was starting to get discouraged. So, she figured one last time around, just in case she missed something.

Going by the barrel again, she warily took another peek. There was that big ugly toad, and this time, he puckered up and threw her a kiss!! This was almost too much for the poor widow and she just about ran out the shop.

But once more, she tried to find just the right pet to take home with her, but not one of those cute puppies or silky kittens or chirping birds or golden hamsters or skinny gerbils or fancy fish seemed right for her. Totally discouraged by now, the widow decided to go home.

On the way out of the shop, she had to walk past the barrel again. As she furtively peeked in, the toad just gave her the most beseeching look, and he had a little tear on the corner of his eye. He even sniffed a bit. This was too much for our widow, she started heading for the exit in a hurry.

All of a sudden it struck her that this poor toad was probably just as lonely as she was. Not only that, but he was so ugly that no one would probably buy him, especially not with all the other nice pets available. So up to the counter she marched, told the salesperson she'd take the toad, but requested that he be put in a sturdy box. When she got to her car, she placed the box on the seat next to her and proceeded to drive home.


As she was driving along, she heard some scratching coming from the box. She tried to ignore it for a bit, but then thought that the toad might need some air, so she opened the box a bit. She would glance over at the toad from time to time, and he kept winking at her and throwing her kisses. She finally thought, "Oh heck, what could it hurt?" and she leaned over and KISSED him!


And POOF! He turned into a HANDSOME PRINCE!!!

And do you know what our poor widow turned into?

The first hotel she came to!

If Einstein had been a woman

If Einstein had been a woman . . . Men express their thoughts in a logical systematic manner – whereas women talk in a less structured way and are more concerned with feelings than facts. If Einstein had been a woman she would have probably said something like, “I was in the mall yesterday looking for a new dress, I eventually bought a cute red one which I’ll show you later. Anyway I suddenly got this strange feeling about that energy thing. Now that reminds me I must pay that gas bill. But, as I was saying, I suddenly had the notion that E=MC2 - I can’t be sure of course but I spoke to my best friend Alice about it and she said . . . . . . . .”

The Rabbit and the Butcher

  A rabbit hops into a butchers' shop and says "have you got any cabbages?" The butcher says that he doesn't sell cabbages and the rabbit hops off. The next day the same rabbit hops into the same butchers and says, "have you got any cabbages?" The butcher, getting annoyed, says "look I told you yesterday - I'm a butcher, I don't sell cabbages, now go away!" The rabbit hops off. But the next day it hops into the butchers again and again asks "have you got any cabbages?" The butcher, really annoyed now, snaps "No I haven't got any damn cabbages! If you come in here again asking for cabbages I'm will nail your ears to the floor!" The rabbit is scared by this and quickly hops out the door. The next day it hops into the butchers and asks "have you got any nails?" The butcher replies angrily, "NO"“Okay,” says the rabbit with a grin, "what about cabbages?"
