I get that people who are self employed or own rental property may need to report earnings, but if I have a standard w2 style job and some interest from my bank accounts - why can’t I just get a bill/refund without the extra work/admin?
The brunette looks at the blonde and says, “20 bucks says he jumps.”
The blonde shrugs her shoulders and says, “Ok, it’s a bet.”
Sure enough, two minutes into the newscast, the man jumps to his death.
The blonde reaches into her purse and pulls out a twenty. “I guess I owe you,” she says.
The brunette shakes her head and says, “I saw this on the 6 o’clock news and I knew he was gonna jump. I can’t take advantage of you like that.”
The blonde says, “I saw this on the 6 o’clock news, too. I just didn’t think he would jump again!”

Getting home to find they’ve forgotten one of your dishes: Riceless.
Edit: Full disclosure: Yes, it's a repost, but I applied increased cost of living. The takeout used to be $15 and the gas $1.50. Not my fault.

A boy comes home from school at 7PM. His dad is PISSED.
"Where have you been?"
The son replies "I was at Megan's house. We were studying for tomorrow's algebra test."
He grabs a snack off the table and says "Wow, dad, these crab cakes are delicious!"
Dad says, "Go wash your hands, you moron. Those are donuts."
Just one, but you squeeze them through really slowly.
We (my business partner and I) have a small company writing software in a niche industry. A consulting company has approached us to purchase a specific product we developed, for exclusive use by them. Up until now, we use our custom software to produce detailed analysis for the outside consulting company (we charge them, then they charge their clients directly) We have no experience in valuing the software for sale. We've been using our in-house GIS software to produce the reports, and over the last 5 years have had income of almost $700k. Anyone have suggestions on how we should go about putting a value on this software? They want exclusive rights to use it. I've read several articles on how to value software (note: source code will still be ours, in escrow). Some articles suggest either 3, 4, or 5 years of past billings/income to value the sale of that software. Any suggestions?

The idea of an union for software developers is not new, unique to the profession and has been discussed multiple times before. Whenever I bring it up it gets dismissed along the lines of "we are getting paid $$$ and we're in demand so why bother?"
Given the state of the market and how corporations are treating their human capital nowadays do you think an union for software developers is a viable thing?

A few hours later lying in a hospital bed he’s approached by a doctor. “The good news is you are going to be ok” “the bad news is there is some pretty significant buckshot damage to your penis, so I’m going to have to refer you to my sister”.
“Is she a plastic surgeon”? asked the hunter.
“No says the doctor” “she plays the flute so she can teach you where to put your fingers so you don’t piss in your face”……

The bartender lines em up, and the guy knocks them back as fast as he can pour.
Bartender says, "Jesus, buddy, why you drinking like that?"
"If you had what I had, you'd be drinking like this, too."
"Why, what do you have?"
"Bout a dollar."

Me: Why would I want two empty glasses?
A sophisticated, well-dressed woman walks into a shop that sells very expensive Persian rugs. She looks around, spots a beautiful rug, and walks over to inspect it.
As she bends to feel the texture of the rug she farts loudly. Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed. As she turns back, standing next to her is a salesman.
"Good day, ma’am, how may we help you today?"
Flustered, she asks, "Sir, how much does this rug cost?"
"Madam," he answers, "If you farted just touching it, you’re gonna shit when you hear the price."

There once was a young, newlywed couple who just arrived in their honeymoon suite after a wonderful day spent celebrating their union with family and friends. The newlyweds, having both grown up in very sheltered homes, had no experience in the matters of sex and had pledged to one another to wait until their wedding night to engage in any sort of physical activity, not even nudity.
Both of them were extremely nervous about disrobing in front of the other for the first time. In an attempt to help set his lovely new bride at ease, the groom offered to go first. He reached for the light switch, flicked off the overhead light, and then lit a candle to help set the mood and hide his own discomfort.
“I need to tell you,” he said, “I’ve never been naked in front of anyone before, ever. We’ve been together for 5 years now and even you’ve never seen me naked. There are some things you don’t know about me…about my body. I’ve been too afraid to tell you.”
His wife looked at him, with love and understanding in her eyes. “Honey, I love you, all of you, no matter what.”
His mind somewhat at ease, he bent down to remove his shoes and socks. As he did, his feet were revealed to have toes that looked like they had been mangled in a lawn mower accident. Each toe was horribly misshapen and covered in scar tissue and blackened, flaky toenails. He looked up at his wife and said…
“Sweetheart, when I was little, I had ‘toe-lio’. It’s like polio, but it only affects the toes and as you can see, it gets bad for some people. I’ll never get better, but I’ll also never get worse and you can’t catch it.”
His wife gazed into his eyes with no less passion than she had before.
“Baby, I love you for way more than your toes. You’re my man and that’s all there is to it.”
Her husband smiled, reassured. He kissed her forehead gently, then reached to undo his belt and pants, and let them drop to the floor. As they fell, his knees were shown to be covered in open, festering sores, scabs and callouses. He looked at his wife, and gently held her by the shoulders. He lifted her chin sweetly to look into her eyes.
"Sweetheart, when I was a teenager, I fell in the shower in PE class and because of the dirty floor, I contracted the ‘knee-sles.” It’s just like the measles, but much worse when concentrated in the knees like it is with me and others who have the 'knee-sles'. It’s flaring up right now because of all the stress of the wedding, but once everything dies down and we can get to a pharmacy, everything will be fine. Again, you can’t catch this.”
His wife looked at him again, with love in her eyes as before.
“Babe, you’re my man and I swore, just a few hours ago, to stand by you in sickness and in health, and I will. We’ll call the pharmacy in the morning. I love YOU.”
Her husband smiled broader than ever, fully convinced that his new, amazing wife was indeed the incredible angel he had come to believe she was. Full of love, passion, and confidence, the groom grasped the waistband of his underwear and let them fall with a floof onto the floor.
At seeing this, his new bride looked at his genital area, her eyes widening and her mouth dropping to the proverbial floor. After a few seconds, she burst into uncontrollable laughter and said, between heaves and guffaws,
“Oh, so now I suppose you’re going to tell me you had ‘smallcox’ too!”
