As his listeners appeared to be waiting for him to continue, he said,
haltingly, "You see, my wife is unbearable."
Puzzled glances prompted him to try to clarify the matter: "What I mean
is, my wife is inconceivable."
As his companions seemed amused, he floundered deeper into the
intricacies of the English language, explaining triumphantly, "That is,
my wife, she is impregnable!"

An employee of USAir by the name of James Gay boarded a US Air flight
with a free travel voucher. Soon after he sat down, someone else came and
claimed he had the same seat assignment, so Mr. Gay moved down do an
empty seat.
Soon after that the airplane began to fill up. The rule with the US Air
employee vouchers is that if a paying customer needs your seat, you have
to surrender it. So when the flight became completely full and still more
needed to get on, a flight attendant went to the original seat of Mr. Gay
and said to the man now sitting there, "Excuse me, are you Gay?"
The man, somewhat stunned, said, "Well, yes, as a matter of fact I am."
The flight attendant said, "I'm sorry, but you'll have to get off the
plane."
At this point Mr. Gay, who had been watching all of this (and was rather
amused) jumped up and said, "Excuse me, you've made a mistake. I'm Gay!"
Finally, another man jumped up and said, "Well, hell, I'm gay too. They
can't throw us all off!"

Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee in St. Peter's
Square.
The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest. When he
walks into a room, everyone says 'Father'."
The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a
room people say 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a
room everyone bows their head and says 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic man says very proudly, "My son is the Pope. When he
walks into a room people say 'Your Holiness'."
Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four
men give her a subtle, "Well....?"
