Joke corner

Tired of my elderly relatives asking me at every family wedding when it was my turn, I started going up to them at family funerals and asking them, "When is it your turn?"

A brunette and an blond go into a bakery.

The blond immediately steals three pastries and puts them in his pocket.

He says to the brunette, "See how good I am? The owner didn't see a thing." The brunette says to the blond, "That's typical of you blonds. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same result."

He goes to the owner of the bakery and says, "Give me three pastries and I will show you a magic trick."

Intrigued, the owner accepts and gives him one pastry at a time. The brunette eats the first pastry and the owner gives him the second pastry with a little hesitation. The brunette eats that one and asks for the third pastry. The shop owner isn't so sure anymore, but gives the brunette the third pastry and watches while again the brunette eats the pastry.

The owner, feeling like he has been tricked asks, "So what did you do with the pastries?"

The brunette replies, "Look in the blond's back pocket."
