Joke #1: The $800 Shower Interruption
A woman was getting out of the shower when she heard the doorbell ring. Her husband was going to shower, so she quickly grabbed a towel, wrapped it around herself, and descended the stairs to open the door.
She was greeted by Bob, the neighbor who apparently missed the memo on appropriate visiting hours. Before she could ask what brought him to her doorstep, he said something that sounded too good to be true.
“I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.”

Now, the quick-thinking woman did some rapid mental math. On the one hand, dignity. On the other, $800.
In no time, the towel hit the floor, and the woman stood in front of Bob without anything on.
Bob, true to his word (and probably wondering if he should’ve started the bidding lower), handed over the cash and left.
The woman closed the door, picked up the towel, and wrapped it around herself again before returning to her room.

Back upstairs, her husband, blissfully unaware of the impromptu peep show, asked about the visitor.
“Who was that?”
“It was Bob, the next-door neighbor.”
“Great!” he said. “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Or, in simpler terms: Always know the full details of a deal before you strip down to the essentials!

Joke #2: The Genie’s Corporate Retreat Gone Wrong
It was an ordinary day for our intrepid trio: a sales rep, an administration clerk, and their manager. They were on their way to lunch when fate intervened in the form of a dusty old lamp.
Now, most people would’ve walked right past it, but our heroes weren’t most people. They decided to rub it and were shocked to see a genie pop out of it.
This wasn’t your average, run-of-the-mill genie. No, this was a genie with a strict one-wish-per-person policy.

The administration clerk, showcasing the lightning-fast decision-making skills that had kept her in an entry-level position for years, jumped in first.
“I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world!”
Poof! She vanished, leaving behind only the faint scent of coconut sunscreen and poor life choices.
The sales rep went next.
“I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Piña Coladas, and the love of my life!”

Poof! He too disappeared, leaving behind a cloud of desperation and the lingering question of who would cover his afternoon calls.
Finally, it was the manager’s turn.
“I want those two back in the office after lunch!”
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
Joke #3: A Testament to Misinterpretation
Once upon a time, a priest offered a lift to a nun, and she hopped in.

As they cruised along, the nun crossed her legs, causing her gown to reveal more than the usual abundance of ankle. The priest, suddenly remembering he was human under that collar, nearly turned their holy roller into a highway disaster.
After regaining control of both the car and his composure, the priest decided to test the waters of temptation. He stealthily slid his hand up the nun’s leg.
The nun calmly said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?”

The priest quickly pulled his hand back. However, he couldn’t resist for too long.
Once again, his hand embarked on its unholy pilgrimage up her leg. And once again, the nun dropped the biblical breadcrumb: “Father, remember Psalm 129?”
“Sorry sister,” the priest said.
Upon reaching their destinations, the nun went on her merry way. Meanwhile, the priest raced to look up Psalm 129.
And there it was, in black and white: “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Joke #4: The Lazy Bird’s Cautionary Tale
In a forest where animals apparently had nothing better to do than philosophize about laziness, a crow decided to make “doing nothing” an Olympic sport.
Perched high up in a tree, this feathered slacker was living his best life, probably contemplating the meaning of “caw” or wondering why he wasn’t born a peacock.
Enter the rabbit, the forest’s aspiring couch potato.

“Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” he asked the crow.
“Sure, why not,” the crow replied.
So, the rabbit, feeling like he’d just won the laziness lottery, plopped himself down at the base of the tree.
He stretched out, probably thinking, This is the life. No more running, no more annoying ‘what’s up doc’ jokes. Just me, the ground, and sweet, sweet nothingness.
But alas, there’s always someone waiting to take advantage of your downtime. A fox spotted the lazy rabbit.

In no time, he pounced on the rabbit and turned him into lunch. It was a harsh lesson in the food chain.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Or, to put it in modern terms: If you’re going to slack off, make sure you’re out of reach of the office predators.
Joke #5: The Turkey’s Climb to Success

In a farmyard where dreams apparently grew as high as the trees, a turkey with lofty ambitions struck up an odd conversation with a bull.
“I’d love to reach the top of that tree,” the turkey sighed, eyeing the towering oak.
The bull, ever helpful (and full of it), offered a unique solution.
“Why don’t you nibble on my droppings? They’re packed with nutrients.”
It was the kind of advice that would make any nutritionist faint.

Surprisingly, the turkey followed the advice and after a hearty meal, she found the strength to reach the lowest branch. Emboldened by this success, she continued her dung-fueled ascent day after day.
Finally, on the fourth day, there he was, proudly perched at the treetop. Little did he know, his high-rise success story was about to come crashing down.
A farmer, spotting this out-of-place turkey, decided it was time for an impromptu Thanksgiving.

With one shot, our ambitious bird’s dreams of greatness were quite literally shot down.
Moral of the story:
In the game of life, make sure your success is built on solid ground, not just solid waste.
Joke #6: The Bird, the Dung, and the Deceitful Cat
Picture a small bird, flying south for the winter, probably dreaming of piña coladas and tiny bird-sized sunglasses. Suddenly, the cold hit hard, and the bird dropped into a field.

While he was frozen there, a cow came by and dropped a steaming pile of dung right on top of him.
Instead of being the final insult, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
The warm dung thawed out the bird, who, finding himself in this unlikely hot tub, began to sing joyfully. Little did he know his happiness was quite short-lived.
A passing cat was intrigued by this singing pile of dung. He quickly dug the bird out but ate him instead of offering him a towel.

Moral of the story:
Life’s messy situations often teach us valuable lessons. Remember, not everyone who dumps on you is your enemy, and not everyone who pulls you out of a mess is your friend. Most importantly, when you find yourself in a deep pile of trouble, it’s often best to keep quiet and assess the situation before reacting.
Sally Field’s worst on-screen kiss in her decades-long career might be a surprise to most
I have always thought Sally Field was amazing. She is an actress of legendary caliber. In addition, the 76-year-old has a long history of on-screen romances.
As a result, she has received her fair share of kisses on TV. Though at first she was reluctant to reveal whose costar it was with, she finally revealed which has been the worst.
Sally Field, regarded as one of the most gifted and adaptable actors of her generation, has had an incredible Hollywood career. Her legendary roles in a number of movies and television shows have won us over.
She gave an amazing performance in Steel Magnolias, for instance, and the funeral scene is something I will always remember.Sally portrayed a woman torn by love, disappointment, hatred, and loss, and she did a fantastic job at it.
She is, of course, also well-known for her parts in popular television shows and films, including Erin Brockovich, The Flying Nun, Gidget, Forrest Gump, and Sweet and the Bandit.
In Pasadena, California, Sally was born into a working-class family in show business.
However, her early years were everything but idyllic. Sally claimed in her memoirs that she was abused by her stepfather and that, when she was seventeen, she had a covert abortion.
Still, she proved to be such a kind, modest person.
As of right now, Sally is still going to work every day. In the 2020 television series Dispatches From Elsewhere, she portrayed Janice. She will play Jessie Buss in the widely watched television series Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty in 2022, which depicts the personal and professional life of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s.
It is therefore not surprising that Sally occasionally appears in interviews given how active she is.
After a fan asked a pointed question, beloved icon Sally Field opted to share her worst on-screen kiss with the world on Thursday, Dec. 1 episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
Upon hearing the question, Field, 76, looked around and laughed, saying, “Oh boy.” Do I really need to name names here?
“I believe you should,” 54-year-old Cohen answered.
Field gave in and said, “All right. This is going to surprise you. Hold on, people.
The Oscar-winning actress accused actor Burt Reynolds, her ex-boyfriend, of being the guilty party.
Cohen asked, “But weren’t you dating at the time?” with prompt follow-up.
Field clarified that she was required to “look the other way” when filming “Smokey and the Bandit.” This, according to her, “just wasn’t something he really did for you.”
“Isn’t that something?” Cohen asked, seeming shocked.
The actress continued by saying that Reynolds did a lot of “drooling” while they were on screen together.
While filming “Smokey and the Bandit,” the two co-stars got to know one another in 1977. They dated for almost five years after that.
According to the New York Post, Reynolds discussed his friendship with Field in his memoir But Enough About Me. Reynolds tragically passed away at the age of 82 from cardiac arrest.
The celebrity said he regretted their time together and wished he had done more to try to mend their relationship.
Field gave Variety an explanation in March for why she had stopped communicating with Reynolds throughout the last 30 years of his life.
She went on, “He was not someone I could be around.” “He was simply not a good fit for me at all. Additionally, he had somehow created the illusion that I was more significant to him than he had previously believed, even though I wasn’t. All he wanted was the thing that he was without. Simply put, I didn’t want to handle that.
