 Funnies:

  A little guy is sitting at the bar just staring at his drink for half an
  hour when this big trouble-making biker steps up next to him, grabs his drink
  and gulps it down in one swig.

  The poor little guy starts crying.

  "Come on man. I was just giving you a hard time," the biker says. "I
  didn't think you'd cry. I can't stand to see a man crying."

  "This is the worst day of my life", says the little guy between sobs. "I
  can't do anything right. I overslept and was late to an important meeting,
  so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was
  stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took
  home. I found my wife in bed with the gardener, and then my dog bit me.

  So I came to this bar trying to work up the courage to put an end to my life,
  and then you show up and drink my poison."

Thanks MG
