The guy who invented the door knocker got a no-bell prize

***************

I saw an ad for burial plots, and I thought: “That’s the last thing I need!”

***************

Need an ark? I Noah guy

***************

I used to be indecisive; now I’m not so sure

***************

Sleeping comes so naturally to me, I could do it with my eyes closed

***************

What did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing – but it let out a little whine
