Gullible comes from the Old Norse word "gull" as in the bird, who swallows things whole.

I heard that the word "gullible" wasn't actually in the dictionary...

"Is it a bird? Is it a plane?" and that's how I lost my apprenticeship as a carpenter.
I like to meet my wife everyday for lunch at 12:59.. ... I really enjoy our one to one time.

Guest at a posh restaurant: What's the special today?
Waiter: It's meadow-lark pie, sir.
Guest: Hmm... I'll have that.
(in a few minutes the waiter brings a huge slice filled with meat)
Guest: Oh, and how many meadow-larks did you have to catch to prepare that!
Waiter (confidentially): Well, the chef does mix in some horse meat, sir.
Guest: Horse meat? In what proportion?
Waiter: Strictly fifty-fifty, sir. Half a meadow-lark, half a horse.
Waiter: It's meadow-lark pie, sir.

I must have studied this for about 5 whole minutes before it hit me suddenly.

I've just started a dating site for chickens. It's not my normal day job. I'm just doing it to make Hens meet.
Want to play a real life version of Pac-Man?
Then go to a furniture store and try and avoid the salesrep.
Back in the day everyone owned a horse, it was the rich that had cars. Now everyone owns cars and it's the rich that have horses.
My how the stables have turned.

A minister was completing a temperance sermon.
With great emphasis he said, 'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'
With greater emphasis he said, 'And if I had All the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'
Fist in the air, he said, 'And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'
The minister sat.
The song leader stood and announced, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365, 'Shall We Gather at the River.'"

Can't take credit for this one - heard on Radio 4 yesterday. Thought it would appeal to word lovers though..
Did you hear about the Buddhist monk who was doing research on alternatives to novocaine in root canal treatment?
He was into trends in dental medication

Today marks rour weeks without sugar. Running 5 miles a day...no meat, dairy, or flour. No Caffeine! The change has been fantastic! I feel great! Zero alcohol! A healthy diet. A healthy VEGAN diet, gluten free, caffeine free, sugar free and a 2 hour workout every day. I don't know whose status this is but I an really proud of them. So I decided to copy and paste.

Murphy's rule of hockey: At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the game. The aisle people also are very surly folk. Not only at hockey games, anywhere there are seats in a row!
