Default Having a bad day

I know this is not a place for jokes but this one is good.


For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to
take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out
on someone you don't know.

I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had forgotten to
make. I found the number, and dialed it. A man answered saying, "Hello?"

I politely said, "This is Fred Hanifin, could I please speak with Robin
Carter?" Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe
that anyone could be so rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number, and
called her. (I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number).

After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again. When
the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an butt!" and hung up.

I wrote his number down, with the word 'butt' next to it, and put it in
my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a
really bad day, I'd call him. He'd answer and I'd yell, "You're an
butt!" It always cheered me up.

When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'butt' calling
would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, "Hi, this is John
Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're
familiar with the caller ID program?" he yelled, "NO!" and slammed the
phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an
butt!"

So, one day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot.
Some boy in a black BMW cut me off, and pulled into the spot I had
patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for
the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car
window, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first butt (I had his
number on speed dial), I thought I had better call the BMW butt, too.

I dialed and someone said, "Hello?" I said, "Is this the man with the black
BMW for sale?"
"Yes it is."
"Can you tell me where I can see it?"
"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and the car's
parked right out front."
"What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Don Hansen," he said.
"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"
"I'm home every evening after five."
"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?"
"Yes?"
"Don, you're an butt!" Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed
dial, too.

Now, when I had a problem, I had two butts to call. But after several
months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be.

So, I came up with an idea: I called butt #1.
"Hello"
"You're an butt!" (but I didn't hang up.)
"Are you still there?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Stop calling me," he screamed
"Make me," I said.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Don Hansen."
"Yeah? Where do you live?"
"butt, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house with my black
Beemer our front." He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had
better start saying your prayers."
I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, butt."
Then I called butt # 2:
"Hello?" he said.
"Hello butt," I said.
He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..."
"You'll what?" I said.
"I'll kick your butt," he exclaimed.
I answered, "Well, butt, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."
Then, I hung up, and immediately called the police saying that I lived at
1802 West 34th Street, and I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.
Then, I called Channel 13 news about the gang war going down on West 34th
Street. I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th St.

There, I saw two butts beating the crap out of each other in front of 6
squad cars, a police helicopter, and news crew.
Now, I feel better.
Have a great day!
