Go Noles!!!

    Here are some Gator jokes for our friends in Hog Town. Enjoy!


    1 - Gator Watermelon Sales

    Two University of Florida graduates, unable to get a job, get together to see if they can make anything work. All they have between them is a pickup truck.

    They decide to sell watermelons in Gainesville off the back of their truck.

    So the drive to south Florida and buy watermelons at $2 apiece. Then they drive back to Gainesville and decide that the watermelons will sell faster if they are sold in volume, so they set the price at three for $5.

    Well, they are right. They sell lots and lots of watermelons and make repeated trips to south Florida, but they're not making any money.

    So they think and think of what to to. Finally they get the idea . . .

    They buy a bigger truck!

    2 - Six Hours!!!

    The University of Florida Alumni Club of Tampa is gathering in a meeting room of the local Motel 6.

    Suddenly they run out into the bar area yelling and screaming with joy. "Six Hours!! Six Hours!!! Drinks for everyone!"

    The bartender is happy for the Gators though he doesn't quite understand what is happening. But he sets out the drinks.

    The Gators remain wildly exuberant and call for another round for everyone while hollering "Six Hours!!"

    As the bartender is setting out the second round he manages to get the attention of one of the happy, celebrating Gators. "What is Six Hours?"

    The Gator replies, "For an alumni activity we were working on a puzzle that had on the side of the box 2-4 years and we got it done in just six Hours."

    3 - Gator Handymen

    Two Gators living together decided to save some money and decided to re-side their house themselves.

    So they went out and bought all the equipment and started.

    The one Gator handed the other the plank which he then attached with some nails.

    However while watching the one Gator nailing the boards in, the other noticed that whenever he pulled a nail out of the bag he would look at it and would sometimes throw it over his shoulder onto the ground.

    So he asked his friend what he was doing, and his friend said "If I pull a nail out of the bag and it's facing me I throw it away because it's defective."

    "You idiot!! It's not defective." said the other Gator, "It's for the other side of the house."

    4 - Getting Into Heaven

    A UF grad dies on a football weekend and goes to Heaven still wearing his Gator colors. He knocks on the old pearly gates and out walks St. Peter wearing a garnet and gold Florida State University sweatshirt.

    "Hello," says St. Peter, "I'm sorry, no Gator types in heaven."

    "What?" exclaims the man, astonished.

    "You heard; no UF grads."

    "But, but, but, I've been a good man," replies the Gator.

    "Oh really," says St. Peter. "That doesn't necessarily qualify you, but I'm interested. What have you done, then?"

    "Well," said the guy, "Three weeks before I died, I gave 100 dollars to the starving children in Africa."

    "Oh," says St. Peter, "Anything else?"

    "Well, two weeks before I died I also gave 100 dollars to the homeless."

    "Hmmm. Anything else?"

    "Yeah. A week before I died I gave 100 dollars to the Sisters of Mercy Gainesville Mission for Homeless Orphans."

    "Okay", said St. Peter, "You wait here a minute while I have a word with the Boss."

    Ten minutes pass before St. Peter returns.

    He looks the Gator in the eye and says, "I've had a word with God and He agrees with me. Here's your three hundred dollars back; now go away."

    5 - Busted

    The UF grad came running into the store and said to his Gator buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"

    Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was?"

    The UF grad answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."

    6 - Roadside Service

    A Gator had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait.

    A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the Gator what the problem was.

    The Gator replied, "I have a flat tire."

    The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"

    The Gator responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. I never did understand it neither."

    7 - Traffic Stop

    A Florida State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-75 driven by a University of Florida graduate.

    The trooper asked, "Got any ID?"

    The Gator replied, "Bout whut?"

    8 - Dumping Garbage

    The Sheriff pulled up next to the Gator unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch.

    The Sheriff asked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head?"

    "Yep", the Gator replied. "That's why I dumpin’ it here, cause it says: 'Fine For Dumping Garbage'."

    9 - Aging University of Florida Grad

    A 70-year-old University of Florida Alum goes to the doctor's for a physical.

    The doctor runs some tests and says to the Gator, "Well, everything seems to be in top condition physically, but what about spiritually? How is your connection with God?"

    And the alum says, "Oh me and God? We're tight. We have a real bond, he's good to me. Every night when I have to get up to go to the bathroom, he turns on the light for me, and then, when I leave, he turns it back off."

    Well, upon hearing this the doctor was astonished.

    He called the Gator's wife and said, "I'd like to speak to you about your husband’s connection with God. He claims that every night when he needs to use the bathroom, God turns on the light for him and turns it off for him again when he leaves. Is this true?"

    And she says, "That idiot, he's been peeing in the refrigerator again!"

    10 - A University of Florida Gator at the Barber Shop

    A University of Florida Gator enters the local Gainesville barber shop for a haircut and a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, the Gator mentions that he always has problems getting a close shave around the cheeks, that it looks sloppy and distracts from his appearance.

    "I have just the thing," says the barber taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. "Just place this wooden ball in your mouth and put it between your cheek and gum. Here, let me show you how well it works."

    The University of Florida Gator places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds to give him the closest shave the Gator has ever experienced.

    After a few more strokes the University of Florida Gator starts thinking about the ball in his mouth. So he asks in garbled speech. "And what if I swallow it?"

    "No problem," says the barber, "Just bring it back tomorrow like every other Gator does."

    11 - Einstein in Heaven

    Einstein dies and goes to heaven only to be informed that his room is not yet ready. "I hope you will not mind waiting in a dormitory. We are very sorry, but it's the best we can do and you will have to share the room with others," he is told by St. Peter.

    Einstein says that this is no problem at all and that there is no need to make such a great fuss. So St. Peter leads him to the dorm. They enter and Albert is introduced to all of the present inhabitants.

    "See, here is your first room mate. He has an IQ of 180!"

    "That's wonderful!" says Albert. "We can discuss my theory of relativity!"

    "And here is your second room mate. His IQ is 160!"

    "That's wonderful!" says Albert. "We can discuss astrophysics!"

    "And here is your third room mate. His IQ is 140!"

    "That's wonderful! We can discuss quantum mechanics!"

    Just then another man moves out to capture Albert's hand and shake it. He speaks slowly. "I'm your last room mate and I'm sorry, but they tell me my IQ is only 80."

    Albert smiles back at him and says, "So, how do you think your University of Florida football team will be doing this year?"

    12 - Guardian Angel

    A University of Florida graduate is out looking for a job. He is walking on the road and a voice shouts out, "Don't take a step further." He obeys and suddenly a ton of bricks fall on the place where he would have otherwise been.

    He thinks he imagined it and keeps walking until suddenly the voice calls out again. "Don't take a step further." He stops and a car skids past, just missing him.

    Then suddenly he hears the voice saying "I am your guardian angel, and I will warn you before something bad happens to you. Now do you have any questions to ask me?"

    "Yes!" shouts the Gator. "Where were you the day when my parents signed me up for the University of Florida?"

    13 - At the Doctor

    Gator Grad Bubba went to his doctor yesterday. After a long wait in the outer office, his name was finally called. When he got into the examining room, the nurse pointed to the scale and said, "I need to get your weight today."

    Bubba immediately replied, "One hour and 5 minutes."

    14 - Fly Problem

    A doctor received an emergency call from a Gator Grad Sally Sue.

    She had a fly in her ear. The doctor suggested an old home remedy. "Pour warm olive oil into your ear and lie down for a few minutes," he said. "When you lift your head the fly should emerge with the liquid."

    Sally Sue said she thought that sounded like a good idea, but she had a question. "What ear do I pour the oil into?"

    15 - Toothpaste

    The Gainesville newspaper runs a popular column called "10 Questions" that spotlights people who live in the community that most people call Hog Town.

    In addition to the usual inquiries about occupation and age, people are asked questions that give a snapshot of their personalities.

    Recently one Gator Grad was asked, "What's the strangest thing you ever bought?"

    She answered, "Dog toothpaste."

    Next question: "What is the most common thing people say to you?"

    Her answer: "Where did you get such white teeth?"

    16 - Happy to Have Me Home

    "You know," a UF grad told his fellow Gators, "I'm a lucky man. I never realized how much my wife loved me until the other day when I had to stay home sick from work."

    "What did she do?" someone asked.

    "She was so happy to have me home," he said, "that every time someone came to the door, like the mailman or milkman, she'd shout, 'My husband’s home! My husband's home!'"

    17 - I’ve Lost My Dad

    A small boy was crying his eyes out at a UF Homecoming football game.

    Seeing his plight, a policeman came up to him and asked what was the problem.

    "I've lost my dad," cried the boy.

    "What's he like?" asked the policeman.

    "Beer, gambling and women," said the boy.

    18 - Frozen

    Did you hear about the Gator family visiting friends in Wisconsin that froze to death outside a theater?
    They were waiting to see the movie "Closed for the Winter."

    19 - Coming Back from Fishing

    A UF Gator was walking down the street, carrying a brown paper bag. He ran into one of his friends, who asked, "Hey! What do you have in the bag?"

    The Gator tells his friend that he has some fish in the bag.

    His friend says, "Well, I'll make you a bet. If I can guess how many fish you have in the bag, you'll have to give me one."

    The Gator says, "I'll tell you what. If you tell me how many fish I have in this bag, I'll give you both of them."

    20 - Lost

    Two Gators from UF were out hunting. They decided to separate to get a better chance of catching something.

    The first Gator says to the other, "If you get lost, fire three shots into the air every hour. That way I can pinpoint you and find you."

    After about three hours, the second Gator finds he is really lost. He decides to fire three shots into the air as the first Gator told him. He then waits an hour and does it again. He repeats this until he is out of ammo.

    The next morning, the first Gator finds the second with the help of forest rangers. He asks the second Gator if he did what he told him to do.

    The Gator answers, "Yes, I fired three shots into the air every hour on the hour until I ran out of arrows."

    21 - Gator's Science Project

    Bubba is in his first year at the University of Florida. He is taking a Freshman Biology course.

    His professor reminds the class that they have all had Life Science in middle school and Biology high school, so everyone should be able to do a science project by now. "So for your first assignment, go out and create a small science project, do it, and write up the results."

    Bubba goes back to his dormitory and sits on the steps trying to think of a project.

    While he is sitting there a grasshopper lands on his shoe.

    Bubba grabs the grasshopper and finds a cardboard box with high sides. He puts the grasshopper on the floor of the box and yells, "Jump, Grasshopper, Jump!"

    The grasshopper jumps.

    Bubba grabs the grasshopper, pulls off one leg, puts the grasshopper back in the bottom of the box, and yells, "Jump, Grasshopper, Jump!"

    The grasshopper jumps.

    Bubba grabs the grasshopper, pulls off another leg, puts the grasshopper back in the box, and yells, "Jump, Grasshopper, Jump!"

    The grasshopper jumps.

    Bubba repeats this until the grasshopper is down to one leg. "Jump, Grasshopper, Jump!"

    Well, it's not much of a jump but the grasshopper jumps.

    So Bubba grabs the grasshopper, pulls off its last leg, puts the grasshopper back in the box, and yells, "Jump, Grasshopper, Jump!"

    Nothing.

    "JUMP, GRASSHOPPER, JUMP!!!!"

    Still nothing.

    The next class session Bubba turns in the report of his science experiment. His conclusion:

    "When a grasshopper loses all its legs it becomes deaf."

    22 - Missing Gator Homework

    A University of Florida freshman football player had not done his homework so he ran to his coach just before class for advice.

    “Make up a story and play on the professor’s sympathy,” said the football coach.

    So as he came into class the Gator football player faked it like he was crying as he sat down at his desk. It worked. He looked so downcast that his professor decided to investigate.

    "What's the problem, Bubba? I hope it's not homework again."

    "Well... yes, it is." replied Bubba, reluctantly. "I was stupid and made my homework paper into a paper airplane."

    "Bubba, you're right, that wasn't a very bright thing to do," said the professor, "but this once I'll let you just unfold the paper and hand it in."

    That wasn’t the answer Bubba expected so he had to come up with something quick.

    "Oh, but that won't work," said Bubba, trying to look even sadder. "You see, the plane was hijacked."

    23 - Pain All Over

    A Gator went to his doctor complaining of pain.

    "Where are you hurting?" asked the doctor.

    "You have to help me, I hurt all over," said the Gator.

    "What do you mean, all over?" asked the doctor. "Try to be a little more specific."

    The Gator touched his right knee with his index finger and yelled, "Ow, that hurts."

    Then he touched his left cheek, and again yelled, "Ouch! That hurts, too."

    Then he touched his right earlobe, "Ow, even THAT hurts," he cried.

    The doctor looked at him thoughtfully for a moment, then asked, "Are you truly a UF graduate?"

    "Why, yes," he said.

    "I thought so," said the doctor. "You have a broken finger."

    "This is your house, coach. Most people don't get their own houses up here," St. Peter says.

    Steve looks at the house, pretty nice. Actually very nice. He opens a window to look at his view. At that point he hears the Florida State University War Chant coming from across the way.

    He looks to see where the sound is coming from, and he sees a magnificent estate sitting on top of a beautiful hill.

    It's a huge two-story mansion with white marble columns and little patios under all the windows. There is a giant garage, ahorse stable, and a guest house. He can see two huge pools and even a lazy river. Out back there is a golf driving range and an executive Par 3 course. FSU flags line both sides of the sidewalk and a huge FSU Seminole banner hangs between the marble columns.

    "Thanks for the house," he says to Saint Peter, "but let me ask you a question.

    I get this little two-bedroom house with faded banners and Bobby Bowden gets an estate with all kinds of great things and new FSU Seminole banners and flags flying all over the place. Why is that?"

    The policeman arrives and asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"

    The Gator says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."

    The cop decides to go over and help with the puzzle. The Gator shows the policemen the puzzle spread all over the table. The officer studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to the Gator and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger. Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then," he sighed, "let's put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box."

    So they got that, and they took off. In about two hours, one of them was back at the shop and said, "We're going to need about a dozen ice picks."

    Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He sold him the picks, and the old boy left.

    In about an hour, he was back. Said, "We're going to need all the ice picks you've got."

    The bait man couldn't stand it any longer. "By the way," he asked, "how are you fellows doing?"

    "Not very well at all," he said. "We don't even have the boat in the water yet."

    "At this fantastic new Gainesville bar," he says. "The Golden Saloon. Everything there is golden. It's got huge golden doors, a golden floor, the works - heck, even the urinal's gold!"

    The wife still doesn't believe his story, and the next day checks the phone book, finding a place across town called the Golden Saloon. She calls up the place to check her husband's story.

    "Is this the Golden Saloon?" she asks when the bartender answers the phone.

    "Yes it is," bartender answers.

    "Do you have huge golden doors?"

    "Sure do." "Do you have golden floors?"

    "Most certainly do."

    "What about golden urinals?"

    There's a long pause, then the woman hears the bartender yelling, "Hey, Duke, I think I got a lead on the guy that urinated in your saxophone last night!"

    41 - UF Gator Worries While Flying

    Two Gators were traveling in an airplane from Orlando to LA. About an hour into the flight, the pilot announced that they had lost an engine, but don't worry, there are three left.

    However, instead of four hours it would take five hours to get to Los Angeles. A little later, he announced that a second engine failed, and they still had two left, but it would take seven hours to get to Los Angeles.

    Somewhat later, the pilot again came on the intercom and announced that a third engine had died. Never fear, he announced, because the plane could fly on a single engine.

    However, it would now take ten hours to get to Los Angeles. At this point, one Gator turned to the other and said, "Gee, I hope we don't lose that last engine, or we'll be up here forever!"

    42 - UF Grad on the Ladies' Tee

    It was a sunny Saturday morning on the course, and the Gator was beginning his pre-swing routine, visualizing his upcoming shot, when a voice came over the clubhouse loudspeaker.

    "Would the gentleman on the Ladies Tee back up to the Men's Tee, please!"

    The Gator was still deep in his routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption.

    Again the announcement--"Would the MAN on the WOMEN'S Tee kindly back up to the Men's Tee."

    The Gator finally stopped, turned, looked through the clubhouse window directly at the person with the mike and shouted back, "Would the person in the clubhouse kindly shut up and let me play my second shot?!"

    43 - UF Football Team Relaxation

    The UF football coach gave his team a few days off. Several decided to go down and across to Daytona Beach for fun and relaxation. Coach Muschamp saw the players the first day back at practice and asked about their vacation.

    "Not good coach," said the players. "We never made it to the beach."

    "Why not," the coach asked, "car trouble?"

    "No," the Gators replied, "every few miles down the interstate we saw signs that said, 'Exit, Clean Restrooms'.

    You have no idea how many restrooms we cleaned between Gainesville and Daytona Beach."

    44 - Water in the Carburetor

    Gator #1: "Hey, buddy. Can you help me with my car? It has water in the carburetor."

    Gator #2: "Water in the carburetor? That’s ridiculous."

    Gator #1: "Well, I’m telling you the car has water in the carburetor."

    Gator #2: "You don't even know what a carburetor is. I'll check it out. Where is the car?"

    Gator #1: "In the lake."

    45 - Watch Out For That Tree

    A state trooper pulls over a car on a lonely back road near Gainesville and approaches the driver. The car has a “UF” sticker on the rear window. "Sir, is there a reason you're weaving all over the road?"

    The Gator replies, "Oh officer, thank goodness you're here! I almost had an accident. I looked up and there was a tree right in front of me. I swerved to the left and there was another tree in front of me. I swerved to the right and there was another tree in front of me!"

    Reaching through the side window to the rearview mirror, the officer says, "Son, that's your air freshener."

    46 - Where Are We Going?

    A UF grad, a USF grad, and a UM grad were all up in a long distance hot-air balloon together that departed from the Florida Keys and headed north. After a few hours, the Hurricane put his hand down through the clouds. "Aaah!" he said. "We're right over Miami."

    "How can you tell?" asked the Gator.

    "I can feel the warm air of the ocean and the heat off the sand at South Beach." he replied. The other two occupants were somewhat impressed.

    Many hours later the South Florida Bull put his hand through the clouds. "Aah we're right over Tampa." he said.

    "How do you know that?" asked the Miami grad.

    “I can feel the bay water breeze," said the South Florida grad, and the other two occupants were very impressed.

    Yet many more hours later the Gator put his hand through the clouds. "Aah, we're right over UF."

    The other two occupants were amazed. "How do you know all of that?" they exclaimed.

    The Gator pulled his hand up. "My watch is missing."

    47 - Adopted By the University of Florida Football Team

    A child custody case was held in court in Gainesville, Florida. The judge felt that the mother and father were both fit to be parents and therefore couldn't decide who he should grant full custody to. So he asks the little boy, "Would you like to live with your mother?"

    "No." said the boy.

    "Why not?" said the judge.

    "Because she beats me."

    The judge says, "Okay, then you'll go live with your father."

    "Oh No," cried the boy, "he beats me too."

    Dumbfounded, the judge asks, "Okay, who do you want to live with?"

    "I want to live with the University of Florida football team."

    "Why?" asks the judge.

    "They don't beat anybody."

    48 - Art of Recruiting

    One day while walking down the street a UF grad was tragically hit by a bus and died. His soul arrived up in heaven where he was met at the pearly gates by St. Peter himself.

    “Welcome to Heaven,” said St. Peter. “Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we’ve never once had a UF Grad make it this far, and we’re not really sure what to do with you.”

    “No problem, just let me in.” said the Gator.

    “Well, I’d like to, but I have higher orders. What we’re going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want, to spend an eternity in.”

    “Actually, I think I’ve made up my mind; I prefer to stay in Heaven”, said the Gator.

    “Sorry, we have rules . . . ”

    And with that, St. Peter put the Gator in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell.

    The doors opened and he found himself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of him were all his friends - fellow UF grads whom he had worked with, and they were all in formal evening dress and cheering for him.

    They ran up and shook his hand and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where he enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.

    He met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy and he had a great time telling jokes and dancing. He was having such a good time that before he knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook him hand and waved good bye as he got on the elevator. The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and he found St. Peter waiting for him.

    “Now it’s time to spend a day in Heaven,” he said. So he spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. He had a great time and before he knew it him 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got him.

    “So, you’ve spent a day in Hell and you’ve spent a day in Heaven. Now you must choose your eternity,” he said.

    The Gator paused for a second and then replied, “Well, I never thought I’d say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell.”

    So St. Peter escorted him to the elevator and again he went down-down-down, back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened he found himself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth.

    He saw him friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to him and put his arm around him.

    “I don’t understand,” stammered the Gator, “yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is, is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable.”

    The Devil looked at him and smiled. “Yesterday we were recruiting you. Today, you’re STAFF.”

    49 - Air Disaster

    Florida's worst air disaster occurred today when a small two-seater Cessna crashed into a cemetery early this afternoon in Gainesville near the University of Florida. The university response team rushed to the scene and Gator rescue workers have recovered 826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the evening.

    50 - Gator Boyfriend

    One night a young lady from Gainesville girl brought her new boyfriend home to meet her parents, and they were appalled by his appearance: dirty UF sweatshirt, unshaven, offensive body odor, motorcycle boots, various Gator tattoos, and more piercings than they wanted to count.

    Later, the parents pulled their daughter aside and confessed their concern. "Dear," said the mother diplomatically, "he doesn't seem very nice."

    "Oh please, Mom," replied the daughter, "if he wasn't nice, why would he be doing 500 hours of community service?"

    51 - Prescription for Good Health

    An elderly Gator alum was not feeling well so he visited his doctor at Shands. After giving the Gator a thorough check-up, he asked the patient to go out to the waiting room and to have his wife come in so he can speak with her.

    The wife comes in and the doctor says, "Your husband is very, very sick. Dangerously sick. You are going to need to provide extra, extra care for him for a long while. He'll need three hot meals a day. He can't exert himself so you'll need to provide him with drinks, snacks, and other things that he would normally get for himself. And if he wants sex, you'll need to provide that pretty much on call. Understand?"

    The wife said she understood and went back out to the waiting room to see her husband.

    The Gator husband asked, "What did the doctor say?"

    The wife replied. "He said you are going to die."

    52 - Admission Test

    Several colleges have started a pilot program that uses a simple group experiment with Legos as a replacement for the standard admissions test. The group must recreate a model of a robot in the next room, with only one team member allowed to view the robot at any one time.

    Since different schools have different admissions requirements, the test has been modified to meet the requirements of various schools:

    • FSU College of Engineering: Build a real, working robot out of Legos.
    • Rollins Liberal Arts College: Pick your favorite color of Lego block.
    • Keiser College Culinary Arts Program: Bake an Eggo that is so good that no one would want to play with a Lego.
    • University of Florida: Steal as many Legos as possible.

    53 - Where is Your Wife?

    On a rural road a state trooper pulled this UF grad over and said: "Sir, do you realize your wife fell out of the car several miles back?"

    To which the Gator replied: "Thank God, I thought I had gone deaf!"

    54 - The Girl of His Dreams

    A young Gator at the University of Florida called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the girl of his dreams. Now what should he do?

    His mother had an idea: "Why don't you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your apartment for a home-cooked meal?"

    He thought this was a great strategy, and a week later, the girl came to dinner. His mother called the next day to see how things had gone.

    "I was totally humiliated," he moaned. "She insisted on washing the dishes."

    "What's wrong with that?" asked his mother.

    "We hadn't started eating yet."

    55 - The Healing Touch

    A University of Georgia alum in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Bulldog looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?" The waitress nodded "yes," so the Bulldog told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.

    The next patron to come in was a University of South Carolina alum with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus over there?" The waitress nodded, so the Gamecock said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "my treat."

    The third patron to come into the restaurant was a University of Florida alum on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there sweet thang. How's about gettin' me a cold glass of Coke!" He too looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that God's boy over there?" The waitress once again nodded that it was, so the Gator said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke, "on my bill."

    As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the University of Georgia, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Bulldog felt the strength come back to his legs, got up and danced a jig right out the door.

    Jesus also passed by the University of South Carolina alum, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Gamecock felt his back straightening up, and he raised his hands, praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door.

    Then Jesus walked up to the Gator.

    The Gator jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me... I'm drawin' disability!"

    56 - The Gator and His Thermos

    A Gator goes into a store and sees a shiny object. He asks the clerk, "What is that shiny object?"

    The clerk replies, "That is a thermos."

    The Gator then asks, "What does it do?"

    The clerk responds, "It keeps hot things hot and it keeps cold things cold."

    The Gator says, "I'll take it!"

    That afternoon he walks into his dorm with his new thermos. A Gator upperclassman sees him and asks, "What is that shiny object you have?"

    He says, "It's a thermos."

    The upperclassman then says, "What does it do?"

    He replies, "It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold."

    The upperclassman says, "Wow, what do you have in it?"

    The Gator replies, "Two cups of coffee and a popsicle."

    57 - The Gator and the Gorilla

    A small Virginia Wild Animal Park had acquired a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks, the female gorilla became very "in the mood," and difficult to handle.

    Upon examination, the park veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in heat.

    To make matters worse, there were no male gorillas of the species available.

    While reflecting on their problem, the park administrators noticed Ed, a UF graduate and part-time intern, responsible for cleaning the animals' cages.

    Ed, like most Gators, was supremely confident in his ability to satisfy a female of ANY species.

    So, the park administrators thought they might have a solution.

    Ed was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to have sex with the gorilla for $500?

    Ed showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully.

    The following day, Ed announced that he would accept their offer, but only under three conditions.

    "First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her.

    Secondly, you must never tell anyone about this."

    The park administration quickly agreed to these conditions, so they asked what was his third condition.

    "Well," said Ed, "You gotta give me another week to come up with the $500."

    58 - The Gator Cook

    A Gator was cooking something in the oven when it caught on fire and started filling the entire house with smoke. Panicked, he called 9-1-1.

    When the call was answered the Gator screams, "HELP, MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!"

    To which the crisis manager inquires, "How do we get to your house?"

    To which our Gator says, "Duhhh, IN A BIG RED TRUCK

    59 - Paint Job

    A recent UF grad, unemployed of course, but wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to hire himself out as a 'handy-man' and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. He went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for him to do.

    'Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,' he said. 'How much will you charge me?'

    Delighted, the Gator quickly responded, 'How about $50?'

    The man agreed and told him that the paint brushes and everything he would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, 'Does he realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?'

    He responded, 'That's a bit cynical, isn't it?'

    The wife replied, 'You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those Gator jokes '.

    Later that day, the Gator came to the door to collect his money.

    'You're finished already?' the startled husband asked.

    'Yes, the Gator replied, and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.'

    Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to him along with a ten dollar tip.

    'And by the way,' the Gator added, 'it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus.'

    60 - The Right Woman

    Sitting in the bar George, a UF grad, asked his 40-year-old former Gator buddy Johnny, "How come you aren't married?"

    Johnny: "I haven't found the right woman yet."

    George: "So what are you looking for?"

    Johnny: "Oh she's got to be real pretty, - a good cook and house-keeper, and she's got to know how to handle money, a really nice and pleasant personality is a must - and money, she's got to have money...and a home, a nice big house, is what she has to have."

    George: "A woman like that would be crazy to marry YOU."

    Johnny: "Oh, it’s okay if she is crazy."

    61 - UF Grad Does Good

    Did you hear about the University of Florida graduate who got a job with more than 3,000 people under him?

    Yeah, he works cutting grass at the cemetery.

    62 - UF Grad and the Pizza Coupon

    Some University of Florida students got hungry one night and pooled their resources. They came up with $20 and a $5 coupon for a large pizza.

    One of the Gators (the one who thought he had enougb gas in his car) made the drive over to the pizza place for the pick-up.

    About twenty-five minutes later, the Gator returns to his Gator buddies with the large pizza ... and the coupon!

    They asked the obvious question, "Why didn't you use the coupon?"

    He replied, "I had enough money. I didn't need the coupon."

    63 - New Math

    Three University of Florida grads have applied for a job that requires the use of higher order mathematics.

    The interviewer asks the first Gator, "What is three cubed?"

    "274," is his reply.

    The interviewer rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three cubed?"

    "Tuesday," replies the second Gator.

    The interviewer shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three cubed?"

    "Twenty-seven," says the third Gator.

    "That's great!" says the interviewer. "How did you get that?"

    "Simple," he says, "just subtract 274 from Tuesday."

    64 - Change of School Colors

    Did you hear that the University of Florida is going to change its colors from orange and blue to just orange?

    That way the players can wear their uniforms (1) to the game on Saturday, (2) while hunting on Sunday, and (3) for the Sheriff's Work Crew Monday through Friday.

    65 - Smart Dog

    A young man from Tampa goes off to the University of Florida, but half way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered all his money. He calls home.

    "Dad," he says, "You won't believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here at the University of Florida that will teach our dog, ol' Blue how to talk!"

    "That's amazing," his Dad – a Gator alum - says. "How do I get Ol' Blue in that program?"

    "Just send him up here with $1,000" the young Gator says. "I'll get him in the course." So, his father sends the dog and $1,000. About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy calls home.

    "So how's Ol' Blue doing, son," his Gator Dad asks.

    "Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this they've had such good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!"

    "Read!" says his father, "No kidding! How do we get Blue in that program?"

    "Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class." The money promptly arrives.

    But the young Gator has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither talk, nor read. So he shoots the dog. When he arrives back in Tampa at the end of the year, his father is all excited.

    "Where's Ol' Blue? I just can't wait to see him read something and talk!"

    "Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messing' around with that little redhead who lives in Brandon?'"

    The Gator Dad exclaimed, "I hope you shot that stupid dog before he talks to your Mother!"

    "I sure did, Dad!"

    "That's my boy!"

    66 - A Great Weekend!

    A somewhat senior FSU grad walks into an Ocala area upscale jewelry store this past Friday evening with a beautiful much younger gal at his side. She was wearing her UF sweatshirt of course. (Where did they get a beautiful UF gal? Well, that must be another story.)

    Continuing . . .

    He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his new-found girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.

    The man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special."

    At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. “Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000,” the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement.

    The old Nole seeing this said, “We'll take it!”

    The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, “By check. And I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday morning to verify the funds, and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.”

    On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said, “There's no money in that account.”

    “I know,” said the Nole, “But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!

    67 - Touring Washington

    A Gator was visiting Washington, DC for the first time. He wanted to see the Capitol building. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it, so he asked a police officer for directions, "Excuse me, officer, how do I get to the Capitol building?"

    The officer replied, "Wait here at this bus stop for the number 54 bus. It'll take you right there." The Gator thanked the officer, and the officer drove off.

    Three hours later the police officer returned to the same area and, sure enough, the guy is still waiting at the same bus stop. The officer got out of his car and said, "Excuse me, but to get to the Capitol building, I said to wait here for the number 54 bus. That was three hours ago. Why are you still waiting?"

    The Gator replied, "Don't worry, officer, it won't be long now. The 45th bus just went by!"

    68 - Three Gators Fishing

    Three Gators are sitting by the side of a river holding fishing poles with the lines in the water. A Game Warden comes up behind them, taps them on the shoulder and says, "Excuse me, guys, I'd like to see your fishing licenses."

    "We don't have any." replied the first Gator.

    "Well, if you’re going to fish, you need fishing licenses." said the Game Warden.

    "But officer," replied the second Gator, "we aren't fishing. We all have magnets at the end of our lines and we're collecting debris off the bottom of the river."

    The Game Warden lifted up all the lines and, sure enough, there were horseshoe magnets tied on the end of each line. "Well, I know of no law against it," said the Game Warden, "take all the debris you want." And with that, the Game Warden left.

    As soon as the Game Warden was out of sight, the three Gators started laughing hysterically. "What a dumb Fish Cop," the second Gator said to the other two, "doesn't he know that there are steelhead in this river?!"

    69 - Sharing

    An elderly UF grad and his equally elderly wife went to McDonald's. They ordered one cheeseburger, one large fry, one large drink, and an extra large soda. When the old couple sat down, the man sitting next to them watched the old Gator cut the burger in half, taking half of the fries and giving his wife half, and pouring the soda in the extra cup he ordered.

    The man at the next table was confused, so he went over there and told the couple that if they couldn't afford a meal for each of them, he would be happy to pay for it. The old UF grad shook his head and told him that there was no need because he and his wife had shared everything for the last 40 years.

    The man went back to his seat and then he saw the old woman eating while the old man just sat there doing nothing.

    He went over to them again and asked the old man why he wasn't eating.

    He said, "Well, it's her turn to use the teeth."

    70 - Doin' the Wash

    One day two Gator roommates went to the laundromat to do some wash. One especially needed to wash his Gator sweatshirt.

    Seconds after he stepped into the laundry area, he shouted across to his Gator buddy, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"

    "It depends," the roommate replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"

    The Gator yelled back, "University of Florida."

    71 - Dean's List

    UF Student: Hey, Dad! I've got some great news for you!"

    Father: "What, son?"

    UF Student: "Remember the $500 you promised me if I made the Dean's List?"

    Father: "I certainly do."

    UF Student: "Well, you get to keep it."

    72 - English Essay

    Freshman English is always tough on first year Gators, even though the standards are relatively low as compared to real universities.

    And the English teacher was pretty upset when he handed Bubba back his paper. "This is the worst essay it has ever been my misfortune to read," ranted the professor. "It has so many writing mistakes and dumb punctuation errors that I can't understand how one person could ever have submitted something so dreadful."

    "One person didn't," replied Bubba defensively. "My three roommates helped."

    73 - One Fine Day in Gainesville

    It was the first day of Grade Three in Gainesville's UF Prep Academy for Johnny. As a test, his teacher went around the room and asked each of the students to count to 50. Some did very well, counting as high as 30 or 40 with just a few mistakes. Others couldn't get past 20. Johnny, however, did extremely well; he counted past 50, right up to 100 without any mistakes.

    He was so excited that he ran home and told his Dad, a Gator Alum, how well he had done. His Dad nodded and told him, "That's because you are University of Florida material, son."

    The next day, in language class, the teacher asked the students to recite the alphabet. It's Grade Three, so most could make it half way through without much trouble. Some made it to S or T, but Johnny rattled off the alphabet perfectly right to the end. That evening, Johnny once again bragged to his Dad about his prowess in his new school.

    His Dad, knowingly, explained to him, "That's because you are University of Florida material, son."

    The next day, after Physical Education, the boys were taking showers. Johnny noted that, compared to the other boys in his grade, he seemed overly "well endowed." This confused him.

    That night he told his Dad. "Dad, they all have little tiny ones, but mine is three times bigger than theirs. Is that because I'm University of Florida material?" he asked.

    "No, son," explained his Dad, "That's because you're 18."

    74 - Mining Accident

    The seven dwarfs are involved in a mining accident, the roof collapses and they are all buried alive.

    After several hours of frantic digging the rescue team hears a faint cry: "The Gators have the best football team ever; the Gators have the best football team ever."

    The rescue team leader turns to his assistant and says "At least we know Dopey is still alive."

    75 - The Brave Gator

    A University of Florida fan died and went to heaven. On his arrival at the Pearly Gates he was met by St. Peter who explained that although they loved everyone they drew the line at Gators and he wasn't allowed to come in.

    "That's not fair!" said the Gator, and he continued to complain about his rejection.

    "Can't you make an exception?" he begged.

    "Okay," said St. Peter. "If you can prove to me you've done one act of bravery in your life I will let you in."

    "But I have," said the Gator. "When the University of Florida played FSU at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee I went on my own and I wore my Gators sweatshirt, my Gators hat, and my Gators scarf; and I went to the Osceola Club Terrace in the middle of the Seminoles and sang the Gator Fight Song."

    St. Peter replied," That was very courageous, and when did you do this brave deed?"

    The Gator looked at his watch and said, "Oh it was about one minute ago."

    "Hey, wait a minute," said one of the Gators. "We all have to be in the picture."

    So they asked the counter attendant if he would take the picture, and he agreed. The Gator who owned the camera was delighted.

    The picture was taken, and the McDonalds' employee asked, "Do you want me to take another in case that one doesn't come out?"

    "Oh, no, that's okay," said the Gator camera owner. "I always get the double prints."

    78 - Gun Control

    A renowned expert on gun control spoke at an a student assembly at the University of Florida. He asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

    Then he said into the microphone, "Gators, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence."

    Then, little Bubba Clapton, a proud Gator with a middle Florida drawl, pierced the quiet and said, "Well, idiot, stop clapping!"

    79 - Hearing Aid

    A Gator with two red ears went to her doctor.

    The doctor asked her, "What happened?"

    She answered, "I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang, but instead of picking up the phone I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear."

    "Oh, Dear!" the doctor exclaimed in disbelief. "But what happened to your other ear?"

    "The person called back."

    80 - Gone to the Dogs

    An exhausted student reported in to the University of Florida Health Clinic. The Gator complained, "Doctor, my neighborhood is over-run with dogs. They bark all day and all night – they’re so noisy that I can’t get a wink of sleep."

    "I have good news," said the doctor. "There are special pills for that problem and I’ll give you a prescription that will take care of your problem. Come see me in two weeks."

    When the Gator returned in two weeks the doctor asked, "How are you feeling now?"

    Looking worse than ever, the Gator replied, "Your prescription didn't work. I'm more tired than before."

    "I just can’t understand it," said the doctor, shaking his head. "Those pills are almost guaranteed to work."

    "That may be true," said the Gator, "but I’m up all night chasing the dogs. When I finally catch one, it’s almost impossible to make him swallow the pill."

    81 - Snow Driving Strategy

    A University of Florida grad somehow got a job up in Chicago. One day it was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero when the gator got off work. He made her way to his car and wondered how he was going to make it home. He sat in her car while it warmed up and thought about his situation. He finally remembered some advice from a Gator buddy that if he got caught in a blizzard he should wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it.

    That way he would not get stuck in a snow drift. This made him feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snow plow went by and he started to follow it.

    As he followed the snow plow he was feeling very smug as they continued and he was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions. After an hour had passed, he was somewhat surprised when the snowplow stopped and the driver got out and came back to his car and signaled for him to roll down his window. The snow plow driver wanted to know if he was all right as he had been following him for a long time.

    He said that he was fine and told him of his Gator buddy's advice to follow a snow plow when caught in a blizzard.

    The driver replied that it was okay with him and he could continue if he wanted, but he was done with the WalMart parking lot and was going over to Sears next.

    82 - Gators and Technology

    • A Gator bought a new notebook PC with a wireless network card. He loved it - for a day or so, until the battery goes dead. He called the campus Help Desk.

      "Did you plug it into a power outlet to charge it?" asked the Help Desk assistant?.

      "No," says the Gator. "It's wireless, why would I?"

    • Another Gator called to complain that there was something wrong with her password. No, it's not CAPS lock. "The problem is that whenever I type the password, it just shows stars," says the student.

      Those asterisks are to protect you, tech explains, so if someone were standing behind you, they wouldn't be able to read your password.

      "Yeah," says the Gator, "but they show up even when there is no one standing behind me."

    • UF Helpdesk: "How may I help you?"

      Gator: "I'm writing my first e-mail."

      Helpdesk: "Okay, and what seems to be the problem?"

      Gator: "Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?"

    83 - Here to Help

    A Gator began a job as an elementary school counselor, and she was eager to help. One day during recess she noticed a boy standing by himself on the side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer.

    She approached and asked if he was okay. The boy said he was. A little while later however, she noticed the boy was in the same spot, still by himself. Approaching again, the Gator said, "Would you like me to be your friend?"

    The boy hesitated, then said, "Okay", looking at the woman suspiciously.

    Feeling she was making progress, she then asked, "Why are you standing here all alone? Why don't you go and join those boys playing soccer over there?"

    "Because," the little boy said with great exasperation, "I'm the goalie!"

    84 - Popping Ears

    Aboard a flight from Orlando to New York, University of Florida grad Bubba was taking his very first flight.

    They had only been aloft a few minutes when Gator complained to the stewardess that his ears were popping.

    The girl smiled and gave the Gator some chewing gum, assuring him that many people experienced the same discomfort. When they landed in New York, Bubba thanked the stewardess.

    "The chewing gum worked fine," he said, "but tell me, how do I get it out of my ears?"

    85 - While Out Jogging One Morning

    One day Billy Napier, the Gator head football coach, was out jogging and accidentally fell from a bridge into a very cold river. Three boys, playing along the river, saw the accident. Without a second thought, they jumped in the water and dragged the wet coach out of the river.

    After cleaning up he said, "Boys, you saved the Gator Head Coach today. You deserve a reward. You name it, I'll give it to you."

    The first boy said, "Please, I'd like a 50-yard-line ticket to all Gator home football games!"

    "I'll personally hand them to you," said Coach Napier.

    "I'd like a game-worn autographed jersey from the Gator quarterback," the second boy said.

    "I'll get it myself and give it to you," said the grateful Napier.

    "And I'd like a wheelchair with a stereo in it," said the third boy.

    "I'll personally ... wait a second, son, you're not handicapped!"

    "No -- but I will be when my Seminole dad finds out I saved you from drowning."

    86 - New Glasses

    A Gator football player was doing poorly in class, even with the help of two tutors. Soon the tutors came to suspect that the football player had vision problems, so they took him to an optometrist. Sure enough, he needed glasses.

    But the player wasn't thrilled about the glasses and asked why he had to wear them.

    The doctor replied, "They're to help you read and be able to see the computer better."

    When the Gator got back home, he sat sat down at the computer. In a few minutes he called to his tutors and said, "There's something wrong with my glasses."

    "What's the problem?"

    "I can see the computer better, but I still can't read."

    Gator Bubbette wheeled around with her hands on her hips and says, "Who told you about us?"

    88 - Gator Self Defense

    Every day, when Gator Bubba walked home from class, he would get stopped by three nasty men and they would beat him up and steal his money.

    Finally, Bubba decided that it would serve his best interest to walk a different route, but also take some self-defense classes so this wouldn't happen again. He joined a karate class and soon was doing very well with it.

    One day, on the way home from school, Bubba confidently decided to take his old route home and, sure enough, there they were. He walked up to them and the battle ensued.

    The next afternoon, Bubba went to his karate class with a black eye, a broken nose and a busted lip. His instructor was shocked and asked for an explanation.

    "Well," explained Bubba, "I took my old way home last night so I could beat up those guys who used to steal my money."

    His instructor said, "What happened?"

    Bubba replied, "They jumped me before I could get my socks and shoes off!"

    89 - Insufficient Funds

    A freshman Gator gal came running in tears to her father. "Dad, you gave me some really bad financial advice!"

    "I did? What did I say?" said the dad.

    "You told me to put my money in that big bank near campus, and now that big bank is in trouble."

    "What are you talking about? That’s one of the largest banks in Florida,” he exclaimed. “there has got to be a mistake."

    "I don’t think so," she sniffed. "They just returned one of my checks with a note saying, Insufficient Funds."

    While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends, the Gator led the way into the den.

    "That's mighty nice of you," Bubba answered, "but I don't think Pa would like me to."

    "Aw, come on, boy," the farmer insisted.

    "Well, OK," the boy finally agreed, and added, "but Pa won't like it."

    After a hearty dinner, Bubba thanked his host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know Pa is going to be real upset."

    99 - Golf Help Please

    Two University of Florida grads were playing golf at a foggy par three, and could see the flag, but not the green. Each hit their ball anyway. When they walked to the green, they were amazed to find one about three feet from the cup, while the other somehow had gone directly in. They tried to figure out which ball was which, since they were both using Top Flite X-Out 3s. Unable to decide, they returned to the Club House and asked the golf pro for a ruling.

    After hearing their story and congratulating them both on their superb (superbly lucky?) shots under such adverse conditions he asked, "Okay, so which one of you was playing the yellow ball?"

    After pondering the question he answered, "I would like to go to Mars because it seems so interesting with all the recent news about possible extra terrestrial life on the planet."

    They said "well okay, thank you." And told him that they would get back to him.

    Next, the Seminole entered the room and the NASA people asked him the same question. He replied, "I would like to go to Saturn to explore all of its rings." Again, "thank you" and they would get back to him.

    Finally, the Gator entered the room and they asked him the same question they asked the USF Bull and the FSU Seminole. He thought for a while and replied, "I would like to go to the sun."

    The people from NASA replied, "why, don't you know that if you went to the sun you would burn to death?"

    The Gator smirked and put his hands on his hips. "Are you guys dumb? I'd go at night!"

    102 - Gator Goes West

    A University of Florida Gator was travelling by airplane out to the west coast. As a jet was flying over Arizona on a clear day, the copilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks over the PA system.

    "Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing 300,000 tons, struck the earth 50,000 years ago at about 40,000 miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep."

    103 - The Performance

    A lady was throwing a party for her granddaughter, and had gone all out and hired a caterer, a band, and a clown.

    Just before the children's party started, two out-of-work University of Florida graduates showed up, looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for them, the woman told them that she would give them a meal if they would help chop some wood for her out back. Gratefully, they headed for the backyard.

    The guests arrived, and all was going well, with the children having a wonderful time. But the clown had not shown up. After another half an hour, the clown finally called the woman to report that he was stuck in traffic, and would probably not be able to make the party at all.

    The woman was very disappointed, and unsuccessfully tried to entertain the children herself. Then she happened to look out the back window, and saw one of the Gators doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watched in awe as he swung from tree branches, did mid¬air flips, and leaped high into the air.

    She called to the other Gator and said, "What your friend is doing is absolutely spectacular! I have never seen such a thing! Do you think your friend would consider repeating his performance for the children at my party? I would pay him $50!"

    The Gator replied, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him... Hey, Bubba! For fifty dollars, would you chop off another toe?!"

    "Guys. I really need you to do me a favor, I have to take this train down to West Palm Beach, but I'm very tired and it is for sure that I will fall asleep. So what I want you to do is that you wake me up in West Palm Beach because I have to close a business deal there and it is very important for me. Here you all can split fifty bucks for the favor. But I warn you sometimes when people wake me up I get really violent, but no matters what I do or say you got to get me out of this train at West Palm Beach. Is that clear?"

    So the Gators agreed and took the fifty dollars. Later, as the man had said, he fell asleep, but when he woke up he realized that he was in Fort Lauderdale. He was so mad at the Gators that he ran over and started yelling at them. "Are you stupid or something??? I paid you fifty dollars so that you wake me up in West Palm Beach. And you didn't, so I want my money back!!!!"

    While the man was yelling at the Gators, two other guys that were also in the train were looking at them, so one turns to the other and says to him:

    Man 1: "Look at that guy! Wow, he is mad!"

    Man 2: "Yeah! He's almost as mad as the guy those Gators made get off the train in West Palm Beach."

    Bill and Doug went into the University of Florida Student Union in Gainesville. Like most of the institution, the place that looked as though it had seen better days. As they slid in a booth, Bill wiped some crumbs from the seat. Then he took a napkin and wiped some moisture from the table.

    The waitress in her orange and blue sweat shirt came over and asked if they wanted some menus.

    "No thanks," said Doug. "I'll just have a cup of black coffee."

    "I'll have black coffee too," Bill said. "And please make sure the cup is clean."

    The waitress shot him a nasty look. She turned and marched off into the kitchen. Two minutes later, she was back.

    "Two cups of black coffee," she announced. "Which one of you wanted the clean cup?"

    106 - Bad Gator Coffee

    The 10 p.m. news was coming on. The news crew was covering the story of a man on the ledge of a large building preparing to jump.

    The UF lady looked at Bob and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"

    Bob said, "You know, I'm sure he'll jump."

    The Gator Gal replied, "Well, I bet he won't."

    Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "If you want to bet. you're on!"

    Just as the young Gator lady placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, breaking both arms and both legs.

    The UF grad was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Bob, saying, "Fair's fair. Here's your money."

    Bob replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 p.m. news, and so I knew he would jump."

    The UF gal replied, "I did too, but didn't think he'd do it again."

    Bob took the money . . .

    110 - Afghani Place Kicker

    U.S. soldiers in Panjab, Afghanistan had befriended some local families. The soldiers met with the couples socially and also played with their kids.

    To the surprise of the soldiers, one young married Afghani man was able to place kick a football with amazing accuracy out to 55 yards. Wow! They thought they had something special and tried to shop him to NFL teams. But the young man had never played organized American football at any level so no one was interested.

    But they had a friend of a friend who knew someone in the University of Florida athletic program. Yes, the young father had a high school degree; and yes, the Gator football team needed all the help it could get. A try-out was arranged by Skype and soon the young Afghani was on a football scholarship as a University of Florida foreign student.

    Well, the Gator football team was not so good – as usual, but the Afghani was so good that he was nominated for the Lou Groza Award, given annually to recognize college football’s top place-kicker. The weekend of the Award Banquet had all the nominees in New York. That night, just before the ceremony, the Afghani got a call from his wife, who said, “My dear husband, I am happy for you that you are now in a big city to perhaps win an important award and I would not normally bother you at such a time. But you need to know that I am worried and upset. I am anxious about our young daughter’s safety at school. I am afraid of the shootings that happen on the streets each night. I am fearful of being robbed each time I step outside the house. I don’t know what to do. I never should have let you leave me here . . .

But try as he might, the women don't seem to be at all interested. Finally, as a last resort, he walks up to a French guy lying on the beach who is surrounded by adoring women.

    "Okay," says the Frenchman, "I tell you what you do. You go to zee store. You buy potato. You put potato in sweeming suit and walk up and down zee beach. You will meet girl very, very qweekly zees way."

    "Thanks!" says the guy, and runs off to the store. He buys the potato, puts it in the swimsuit, and marches up and down the beach. Up and down, up and down he walks, but the women will hardly even look at him. After half an hour he can't take it anymore and goes back to the Frenchman.

    "Look," says the Gator, "I got the suit, I put the potato in it, and I walked up and down the beach-- and still nothing! What more can I do?"

    "Well," says the Frenchman, "maybe I can help you a leetle beet. Why don't you try moving zee potato to the *front* of zee sweeming suit?"

    Three ladies, all UF grads, were discussing the names of their children.

    One lady said, "I have eight boys and I named them all "George."

    The second lady asks, "How does that work?"

    "Great!" Says the first Gator Grad. "At supper time I just say, 'George, time for dinner' and they all come to the table."

    At night I just say, 'George, time for bed' and they all go upstairs."

    The third Gator Gal asks, "But what if you want just one of them to do something?"

    "No problem. I just call him by his last name."

    168 - Enlightening

    The Gator Alum was very inquisitive.

    This time he had many questions about the sun: How hot is the sun? How far away is the sun? What happens to the sun when it is nighttime?

    In fact these questions bothered him so much that he laid in bed that night and could not sleep.

    Thankfully it eventually dawned on him.

    169 - Chinese Food

    Three Gators get hungry and decide they want Chinese food.

    171 - Bus Home

    A Gator was out at a bar in Gainesville, celebrating the weekend. At the end of the evening, he was totally wasted and decided to take a bus home.

    He arrived home safe and warm, which surprised him because he had never driven a bus before.

    172 - Gainesville Bank Robbery

    A hooded armed robber bursts into the Bank of Gatorville and forces the tellers to load a sack full of cash.

    On his way out the door with the loot, one brave customer grabs the robber's hood and pulls it off, revealing the robber's face.

    The robber shoots the guy dead without hesitation!

    He then looks around the bank to see if anyone else has seen him. He sees one of the tellers looking straight at him; the robber walks over and calmly shoots him dead.

    Everyone by now is very scared and looking down at the floor.

    "Did anyone else see my face?" calls the robber.

    There follows a tense minute of silence.

    Then an elderly gentleman in a UF sweatshirt, looking down, tentatively raises his hand and says:

    "I think my wife caught a glimpse."

    173 - Gator Motto

    Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?

    174 - Gator Asserts Himself at Work

    "I have to have a raise," the Gator said to his boss. "There are three other companies after me."

    "Is that so?" asked the manager. "What other companies are after you?"

    "The electric company, the telephone company, and the gas company."

    175 - Gator at Work

    The boss came early in the morning one day and found his new University of Florida employee kissing his secretary

    He shouted at him, "Is this what I pay you for?"

    The Gator replied: "No, sir, this I do free of charge."

    Ed. Note: That must have been one desperate secretary.

    176 - Books for College

    A clueless University of Florida freshman is in the Gator campus bookstore.

    He has already bought his textbook for General Math, but he sees a companion workbook called The Student Guide to General Math. He asks the store clerk about a book and the clerk responds, "This guide book will do half the job for you."

    "Good," the Gator freshman replies. "I'll take two."

    177 - Gator Applies for an Engineering Position

    A University of Florida grad applied for an engineering position at a firm based in Gainesville. An FSU grad applied for the same job. Since both applicants had the same qualifications they were asked to take a test by the department manager. Upon completion of the test both men only missed one of the questions.

    The manager went to the Gator and said.

    • Manager: "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the Florida State guy the job."
    • Gator: "And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Gainesville and me being a UF grad … I should get the job!"
    • Manager: "We made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed."
    • Gator: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"
    • Manager: "Simple, the Seminole put down on question #5, "I don't know."     You put down "Neither do I."

    178 - Weekend Fun in Gainesville

    Some Florida State University students got bored one weekend so they drove to Gainesville.

    On the way they stopped outside of town at a farm and bought three medium size hogs, which thay put in the back of their pickup.

    At UF, they let the three hogs loose in the middle of the campus.

    Before they let them go, they painted numbers on the sides of the hogs. On the first hog they painted the number 1, on the second hog they painted the number 2, and on the third hog they painted the number 4.

    UF school administrators spent most of the day looking for hog #3.

    Ed. Note: We wonder how many UF females were accidently brought in.

    179 - The Girl of His Dreams

    A freshman at UF called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the girl of his dreams. Now what should he do?

    His mother had an idea: "Why don't you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your apartment for a home-cooked meal?"

    The young Gator thought this was a great strategy, and a week later, the girl came to dinner.

    His mother called the next day to see how things had gone.

    "I was totally humiliated," he moaned. "She insisted on washing the dishes."

    "What's wrong with that?" asked his mother.

    "We hadn't started eating yet."

    180 - Pretzel Charity

    An unemployed University of Florida graduate sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents each.

    Every day a young, very successful Florida State graduate would leave his office building at lunch time and, as he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave the Gator a quarter, but would never take a pretzel.

    This went on for more than five years. The two of them never spoke.

    One day as the Seminole passed the Gator’s pretzel stand and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel guy finally spoke to him.

    "Sir, I appreciate your business. You are a good customer, but I have to tell you that the pretzel price has increased to 35 cents."

    181 - Doctor vs. Mechanic

    Sammy and Bubba went to high school together; they were good friends. After high school Sammy attended Florida State University and Bubba attended the University of Florida.

    Sammy took a pre-med, did well, was accepted into the FSU College of Medicine, and became a doctor. Actually a famous surgeon.

    Bubba, well, he had fun for six years and finally graduated after changing majors fours times. Years later Bubba the Gator was employed as a mechanic in downtown Gainesville - a respectible job.

    They ran into each other in the parking lot of The Swamp just before the annual FSU-UF football game. Bubba was tail gating, but – needing money – he was also working on the car of a friend.

    Bubba, in a loud voice all could hear, said argumentatively, "So mister fancy doctor, look at this work. I also take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish this baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get the big bucks, when you and me are doing basically the same work?"

    Doctor Sam the Seminole, very embarrassed, said softly to Bubba, "Try doing your work with the engine running."

    183 - UF Mental Test

    To try to motivate his team, University of Florida football coach brought in a noted psychiatrist. Since a lot of weird stuff goes on around the UF campus, someone asked, "Would you mind telling us, Doctor," he asked, "how you detect a mental problem in somebody who appears completely normal?"

    "Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble. If there is hesitation, that is a pretty clear signal."

    "What sort of question?" "Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'"

    There was silence from the team. Finally one of ther players said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? We're not too good with history."

    184 - Personal Hygiene for Gators

    • Unlike clothes and shoes, a toothbrush should never be a hand-me-down item.
    • If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
    • While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys.
    • Once every month take the kids out to the back yard so Pa can hose them down.
    • Remember, the cleanest kid goes in the tub first.

    185 - First Job

    A young man hired by a supermarket reports for his first day of work. The manager greets him with a warm handshake and a smile, gives him a broom, and says, "Your first job will be to sweep out the store."

    "But I'm a graduate of the University of Florida," the young man replies indignantly.

    "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," says the manager. "Here, give me the broom -- I'll show you how."

    186 - Doing Anything to Pass

    A UF student is going to summer school to make up a class. It is at a Community College and the credits will transfer back to UF.

    She goes to her young professor's offices. She glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleadingly. "I can't fail this class again. I would do anything to pass this exam." She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean..." she whispers, "...I would do...anything."

    He returns her gaze. "Anything?"

    "Anything."

    His voice softens. "Anything???"

    "Absolutely anything."

    His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you . . . study?"

    187 - Why Must We Learn This?

    A UF Pre-Med student found that he needed a Physics course to graduate. Since it was just one course and he lived near Tallahassee, he got permission to take the course at FSU. One day the professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. The UF pre-med student rudely interrupted to ask, "Why do we have to learn this pointless information"

    "To save lives." the professor responded quickly and continued the lecture.

    A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again. "So how does physics save lives?" he persisted.

    "It keeps the ignoramuses like you out of medical school," replied the professor.

    188 - Annual Physical

    The UF Grad looked a little worried when the doctor came in to administer his annual physical, so the first thing the doctor did was to ask whether anything was troubling him.

    "Well, to tell the truth, Doc, yes," answered the Gator. "You see, I seem to be getting forgetful. No, it's actually worse than that. I can never remember where I park my car, where I'm going, or what it is I'm going to do once I get there -- if I get there. So, I really need your help. What can I do? What do you think? What do you think?"

    The doctor mused for a moment, then answered in his kindest tones, "I think you need to pay me in advance."

    189 - Gator at the Pizza Parlor

    The pizza parlor was about ready to box up the small pizza that the University of Florida student had order “to go.”

    The man getting ready to cut the pizza asked the Gator, “Would you like it cut into 4 pieces or 6 pieces?”

    The Gator thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."

    190 - Gator Parachuting

    The Sports Parachute Club of Ocala was huddled up for a pre-jump briefing. They were performing for a charity event.

    The instructor made an important point. "Start preparing for landing when you're at 300 feet."

    One new member, a recent graduate of the University of Florida, asked, "How do you know when you're at 300 feet"?

    "A good question. At 300 feet, you can recognize the faces of people on the ground."

    The Gator thought about this for a moment before saying, "What happens if there's no one there I know"?

    191 - Gator Chat

    Two good ol' boy Gator grads in a Gainesville trailer park were sitting around talking one afternoon over a cold beer after getting off of work at their local pizza parlor.

    After a while the first guy says to the second, “If'n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday and make love to your wife while you was off huntin' and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us kin?”

    The second guy crooked his head sideways for a minute, scratched his head, and squinted his eyes while thinking real hard about the question. Finally, he says, "Well, I don't know about kin, but it would make us even."

    192 - Give a Man a Fish

    Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.

    Teach a man to fish and he’ll have food for life.

    Teach a University of Florida Gator to fish and he will go out and buy expensive fishing equipment, stupid looking clothes, a sports utility vehicle, travel 1000 miles to the "hottest" fishing spot, and stand waist deep in cold water just so he can outsmart a fish. And he’ll most likely finds the fish is smarter. (Average cost per fish: $395.68)

    193 - The Accident

    "How come you're late?" asks the McDonalds Shift Leader as his new hire, a Florida Gator, walked in the door.

    "It was awful," the Gator explained. "I was walking here to work and there was this terrible accident. A man was lying in the middle of the street; he was thrown from his car. His leg was broken, his skull was fractured, and there was blood everywhere. Thank goodness I took that first-aid course at the University of Florida; all my training came back to me in a minute."

    "What did you do?" asks the Shift Leader.

    "I sat down and put my head between my knees to keep from fainting!"

    194 - No More Dumb Gator Jokes

    A Gator was sick and tired of hearing jokes about being dumb. She decided to wear an FSU sweatshirt and set out to prove to the world just how wrong they were about Gators.

    She drove out of Gainesville and into the countryside where there were many sheep farms (as well as hog farms).

    She spotted a sheep farmer, stopped her car and said, "If I can tell you exactly how many sheep are in your field, will you give me a sheep?"

    He said "Sure!" She counted and said "131."

    The farmer said, "That's right! Go ahead and get a sheep." The Gator went and got her sheep.

    Then, the farmer said, "If I tell you where you actually went to school, can I have it back?"

    And she said, "Yes."

    "University of Florida. Now give me back my dog."

    195 - Say Something Positive

    A Gator and his wife are getting ready for bed. The wife is standing in front of a full length mirror taking a hard look at herself.

    "You know, dear," she says, "I look in the mirror and I see an old woman. My face is all wrinkled, every thing else is either sagging or bloated. I've got fat legs, and my arms are all flabby."

    She turns to her husband and says, "Tell me something positive to make me feel better about myself."

    The Gator studies hard for a moment thinking about it and then says in a soft, thoughtful voice, "Well, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight."

    Services for the husband will be held Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. at the Gainesville Memorial Chapel. Female friends of the family are invited.

    196 - Harmonica

    A Gainesville firm relocates to Mexico to have its work done for low, low wages. A UF grad employed by the company figures that he can't do better on the money so he moves south with the firm on a one year contract.

    He writes to his wife in the States to please send him a harmonica to occupy his free time and keep his mind off of the local women. The wife complies and sends the best one she can find, along with several dozen lesson and music books.

    After 12 months away and finally back home, he rushes to their house and through the front door. "Oh darling" he gushes, "Come here... let me look at you... let me hold you ! Let's have a fine dinner out, then make love all night. I've missed your lovin' so much !"

    The wife, keeping her distance, says, "All in good time lover. First, let's hear you play that harmonica."

    197 - The Right Woman

    Sitting in the bar Cletus, a UF grad, asked his 40-year-old former Gator buddy Bubba, "How come you aren't married?"

    Bubba: "I haven't found the right woman yet."

    Cletus: "So what are you looking for?"

    Bubba: "Oh she's got to be real pretty, - a good cook and house-keeper, and she's got to know how to handle money, a really nice and pleasant personality is a must - and money, she's got to have money...and a home, a nice big house, is what she has to have."

    Cletus: "A woman like that would be crazy to marry YOU."

    Bubba: "Oh, it’s okay if she's crazy."

    198 - Cop Stops Gator

    A Gainesville police officer pulls over this guy who had been weaving in and out of the lanes.

    He goes up to the guy's window and says, "Sir, I need you to blow into this breathalyzer tube."

    The Gator says, "Sorry officer I can't do that. I am an asthmatic. If I do that I'll have a really bad asthma attack."

    "Okay, fine. I need you to come down to the station to give a blood sample."

    "I can't do that either. I am a hemophiliac. If I do that, I'll bleed to death."

    "Well, then we need a urine sample."

    "I'm sorry officer I can't do that either. I am also a diabetic. If I do that I'll get really low blood sugar."

    "Alright then I need you to come out here and walk this white line."

    "I can't do that, officer."

    "Why not?"

    "Because I'm too drunk to do that!"

    199 - Gator Lunch

    A University of Georgia grad, a University of Miami grad, and a University of Florida grad were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

    They were eating lunch and the Georgia grad said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."

    The Miami grad opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."

    The Gator grad opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."

    The next day, the Georgia Bulldog opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.

    The Miami Hurricane opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.

    The Gator guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

    At the funeral, the University of Georgia grad's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!"

    The University of Miami grad‘s wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."

    Everyone turned and stared at the University of Florida grad's wife. The Gator's wife said, "Don't look at me. The idiot made his own lunch."

    200 - The K9 Patrol

    Returning home from school a Gator was shocked to find his house ransacked and burgled. He telephoned the police at once and reported the crime.

    The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels and a Gainesville Police Department Canine (K9) unit patrolling nearby was the first on the scene.

    As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash the Gator ran out onto the porch, clapped a hand to his head and moaned, 'I come home from work to find all my possessions stolen, I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send a blind policeman!'

    201 - Banking on a Gator

    A recent Gator graduate was newly appointed as a clerk in a bank. The manager of that branch was fond of literature and books. He asked the clerk,"Do you know William Shakespeare?"

    The Gator replied,"No. In which branch is he working?"

    Now the manager only asks her about checks and drafts.

    202 - Drunk Driving

    Bubba the Gator Grad was having a beer with his buddies at a tavern just across the street from Unemployment Office. He decided to share with them a personal experience about drinking and driving. He thought this might might save them the cost and embarrassment of being arrested for DUI!! It saved him!!

    He explained to them about people who have been known to have unexpected brushes with the authorities from time to time, often on the way home after a "social session" with fellow Gator buddies.

    Well," he said, "two days ago, it happened to me. It turned out he was at a Christmas Party and had more than several bottles coupled with a few whiskey shooters." Although relaxed, he still had the common sense to know he was slightly over the limit.

    That's when he did something he had never done before - He took a taxi home!

    Sure enough on the way home there was a police roadblock, but since it was a taxi they waved it past and he arrived home safely without incident. These roadblocks can be anywhere and he realized how lucky he was to have chosen to take a taxi!!

    This was a real surprise to him, because he had never driven a taxi before. He didn't know where he got it, and now that it's in his garage he doesn't know what to do with it.

    So, anyway, if you want to borrow it give him a call.

    Bubba says, "Be safe out there!"

    203 - Gator Shades of Grey

    After nearly 40 years of marriage, Bubba the Gator-Grad and his wife were lying in bed.

    Suddenly the wife felt Bubba begin to massage her in ways he hadn't done in quite some time.

    It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck, and then began moving down past the small of her back . . . He then caressed her shoulders and neck, slowly worked his hand down, stopping just over her stomach . . . .He then proceeded to place his hand on her left inner arm, working down her side, passing gently over her buttock and down her leg to her calf . . . . Then, he proceeded up her thigh, stopping just at the uppermost portion of her leg . . . . He continued in the same manner on her right side . . . . then suddenly stopped, rolled over and became silent . . . .

    As she had become quite aroused by this caressing, she asked in a loving voice, “Honey, that was wonderful . . . . Why did you stop?”

    To which he responded . . . . “I found the remote.”

    204 - Did you hear . . . ?

    A company was hiring one new staff member. The written exam had one question:

    You are driving your car in a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus station, and you see three people waiting for the bus: an old lady who looks as if she is about to die, a doctor who had once saved your life, and a lady you have been dreaming to be with. You can only take one passenger in your car. Which one will you choose? Please explain your answer.

    There were three Gators and one Florida State Seminole who wanted that one job. The first Gator wrote: I will pick up the old lady. She is going to die, and thus I should save her first.

    The second Gator wrote: I will take the doctor, because he once saved your life. This will be the perfect chance to pay him back.

    The third Gator wrote: The lady. I just can’t pass up the chance to find my perfect love.

    The Florida State Seminole was hired. What did he say? He simply answered: "Give the car key to the doctor. Let him take the old lady to the hospital. I will stay and wait for the bus with the person of my dreams."

    206 - Police Recruit Examination

    The Gainesville Police Department was hiring. A University of Florida graduate was interviewed as part of the employmenmt process.

    The Gator was asked, "What would you do if you had to arrest your mother?"

    The Gator replied, "Call for backup."

    207 - Gainesville Traffic Stop

    A Gator driving a '73 Ford Pinto is weaving across two lanes of traffic, and is stopped by the police.

    208 - World's Greatest Minds

    A Georgia Tech grad, a University of Florida grad, and a Boy Scout are in a single engine plane. The pilot announces from the cockpit that there is trouble with the engine and they are about to crash. However, there are only three parachutes.

    The Georgia Tech grad grabs a parachute and yells as he jumps, “The world needs great engineers!”

    The UF grad grabs a parachute and yells as he jumps, “UF grads provide the world’s greatest minds!”

    The pilot turns to the Boy Scout and says, “Take the last parachute; you have a long life ahead of you.”

    The Boy Scout replies, “Actually, we each have a parachute because one of the world’s greatest minds just jumped with my back pack.”

    209 - Living on the Edge

    Two University of Florida truck drivers are barreling along when they come up to an overpass. A sign says, "Clearance: 11'2"."

    So they get out, measure their truck, and realize that it's 11'6".

    So the first Gator looks at the second Gator and says, "I don't see any cops around....let's go for it!"

    210 - Dog Food Diet

    A fellow was traveling north on I-75 near Gainesville when he realized he needed to make a stop for gas.

    After refueling his vehicle, he saw a nearby Walmart and decided it would be convenient to get some dog food for his dog .

    As he was standing in the check-out line, a number of Gators, evidenced by their UF tee shirts, became interested in his purchase and one asked if he had a dog. (Why else would he be buying dog food, RIGHT???)

    So on impulse, he told them that no, he didn't have a dog, but that he was starting the Dog Food Diet again, and that he probably shouldn't because he ended up in the hospital last time; though he'd lost 50 pounds before he awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of his orifices and IVs in both arms.

    He told them that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and all one needs to do is load one's pockets with dog food nuggets and simply eat one or two every time one feels hungry. He added that the food is nutritionally complete, so it works well, and he was going to try it again. (We have to mention here that all of the Gator buddies in line were now enthralled with the story.)

    Horrified, the one Gator asked the man if he ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned him. He told them no, he ended up in the ICU when he stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle's butt and a car hit him.

    All of the Gators, who had been listening intentionally, expressed their condolences as they headed back towards the pet food section.

    211 - Gator Gal in California

    Gator Gal was out in California looking for work. She was about two hours from San Diego when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down.

    The man walked up to the car and asked, "Are you going to San Diego?"

    "Sure," answered Gator Gal, "do you need a lift?"

    "Not for me. I'll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck. My problem is I've got two chimpanzees in the back that have to be taken to the San Diego Zoo. They're a bit stressed already so I don't want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I'll give you $100 for your trouble."

    "I'd be happy to," said Gator Gal.

    So the two chimpanzees were ushered into the back seat of Gator Gal's car and carefully strapped into their seat belts, and off they went.

    Five hours later, the truck driver was driving through the heart of San Diego when suddenly he was horrified! There was Gator Gal walking down the street, holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of a big crowd. With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the UF alum. "What are you doing here?" he demanded, "I gave you $100 to take these chimpanzees to the zoo!"

    "Yes, I know you did," said Gator Gal, "but we had money left over so now we're going to Sea World."

    212 - Bird Doings

    Gator Guy and Gator Gal are taking a stroll across campus at the University of Florida when a bird flies overhead and relieves itself on Gator Gal's head.

    "Yech!" cries Gator Gal. "Quick, get some toilet tissue."

    "What for?" Gator Guy asks. "He must be half-a-mile away by now."

    213 - Gun Control

    A Gator walked into a crowded Gaimesville bar, waving his unholstered pistol and yelled, "I have a 45 caliber Colt 1911 with a seven round magazine plus one in the chamber and I want to know who's been fooling around with my wife."

    A voice from the back of the room called out, "You need more ammo!”

    214 - An Alphabet Wife

    After being married for 48 years, and going through the many ups and downs of running their Gainesville pig farm, a wife asks her Gator Alum husband to describe her.

    He looks at her for a while, and then says, "You’re an alphabet wife... A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K."

    She asks, "What the heck does that mean?"

    He says, “Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Fabulous, Gorgeous, and Hot."

    She smiles happily. "Oh, that's so lovely, but what about I, J, K?"

    He says, "I'm Just Kidding!"

    The swelling in his eye is going down and the doctors at Shands are fairly optimistic that most of his broken bones will mend without complication.

    215 - Romantic Texting

    A University of Florida wife, being the romantic sort, sent her husband a text:
          If you’re sleeping, send me your dreams.
          If you’re laughing, sent me your smile.
          If you are eating, sent me a bite.
          If you’re drinking, sent me a sip.
          If you’re crying, send me your tears.
          I Love You!”
    Her Gator alum husband, a business grad and typically nonromantic, replied, “I am on the toilet. Please advise.”

    216 - An Elephant Tale

    In 1997, Bubba McFarkland, a seventh year junior at the University of Florida, took a "break from his studies" to travel to Kenya.

    On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with its right front foot raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Bubba approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephant’s foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Bubba worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

    The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Bubba stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Bubba never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

    Twenty years later, Bubba was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Bubba and his son Junior were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Bubba, lifted its right front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

    Remembering the encounter in 1997, Bubba could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Bubba summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Bubba legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly and spraying Bubba's brain matter all over stunned onlookers.

    Probably wasn't the same dadgum elephant.

    What in the word made any of you think that a story with a Gator in it would have a happy ending?

    Go ‘Noles!!!

    217 - Gator Bus Ride

    A UF Grad on his way to pick up his unemployment check was riding on a full bus minding his own business when the gorgeous woman next to him started to breast-feed her baby.

    The baby wouldn't take it so she said, "Come on sweetie, eat it all up or I'll have to give it to this nice man next to us."

    Five minutes later the baby was still not feeding, so she said, "Come on, honey. Take it or I'll give it to this nice man here."

    A few minutes later the anxious Gator blurted out, "Come on kid. Make up your mind! I was supposed to get off four stops ago!"

    218 - ‘Nole in a Bar

    A Gator walks into an Ocala bar and is about to order a drink, when he sees a guy close by wearing a Florida State University sweater, and having a beer in front of him. He thinks, Ocala is so near Gainesville that everyone should know this is Gator Country.

    So, he shouts over to the bartender so loudly that everyone can hear, “Drinks for everyone in here, bartender, but not for the Seminole.” With that the Gator puts money from his recently cashed unemployment check up on the bar.

    Soon after the drinks have been handed out, the Seminole gives him a big smile, waves at him then says, “Thank you!” in an equally loud voice.

    This infuriates the Gator.

    He once again he puts more money on the bar and loudly orders drinks for everyone except the Seminole. As before, this does not seem to bother the Seminole who continues to smile, and again yells, “Thank you!”

    Infuriated, the Gator for the third time puts more money on the bar and in his loudest voice ever orders drinks for everyone except the Seminole.

    As before, this doesn't seem to bother the Seminole. He continues to smile, and again yells, “Thank you!”

    The Gator asks the bartender, '”What the heck is the matter with that ‘Nole? I have ordered three rounds of drinks for everyone in the bar but him, and all the silly jerk does, is smile and thanks me. Is he nuts?”

    “Nope,” replies the bartender, “He owns the place.”

    219 - Mensa Minds

    The monthly meeting of the University of Florida Mensa Club was being held at a local restaurant.

    • Note 1: Mensa, the high IQ society, is open to persons who have attained a score within the upper two percent of the general population. (In general, this is for people with an IQ of 140 or higher.)

    • Note 2: Since no one at UF qualified to join Mensa, they got a waiver from the international organization that allowed UF Club membership for anyone whose IQ was more that his or her weight. As one might expect, the Gator Chapter consists of 12 very skinny members.

    Back to the restaurant: When the Gator Mensa Club members sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt.

    How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly, this was a job for Mensa minds.

    The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer.

    They called the waitress over ready to dazzle her with their solution. "Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker has pepper."

    But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted: " Oh, sorry about that." She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them.

    There was dead silence at the Mensa table.

    Just remember this when you see anyone with a Gators Tee Shirt.

    220 - Bubba the Amorous Gator

    In Gator Country housework is a woman’s job, but one evening, Janice arrived home from work to find the children bathed and one load of laundry in the washer and another in the dryer. Dinner was on the stove and the table set. She was astonished!

    It turns out that her Gator husband Bubba had read an article that said, “Wives who work full-time and had to do their own housework were too tired at night to be … shall we say … amorous and romantic.”

    The evening went very well. The next day, Janice told her Red Hat friends all about it. “We had a great dinner. Bubba even cleaned up the kitchen. He helped the kids do their homework, folded all the laundry and put it away. I really enjoyed the evening.”

    “But what about afterward?” asked her friends.

    “Oh, that .......... Bubba was too tired.”

    221 - When It’s Raining in Sweden

    Bubba Gator to his Gator Buddy: I heard that when it’s raining in Sweden you have to drive with your lights on.

    Gator Buddy (as he has his hand on the vehicle light switch): Okay, but how will we know if it’s raining in Sweden?

    222 - Getting Rid of the Fridge

    A Gator bought a new fridge for his trailer on the outskirts of Gainesville.

    To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.'

    For three days the fridge sits there without anyone looking twice.

    He eventually decides that Gainesville people are too mistrustful of this deal.

    So he changes the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.'

    The next day someone steals it!

    223 - Traffic Camera

    A Gator is driving in Ocala when he sees the flash of a traffic camera. He figures that his picture has been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knows that he was not speeding...

    Just to be sure, he drives around the block and passes the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashes.

    Now he begins to think that this is quite funny, so he drives even slower as he passes the area again, but the traffic camera again flashes.

    He tries a fourth time with the same result...

    He does this a fifth time and is now really laughing, and he is waving when the camera flashes as he rolls past, this time at a snail's pace...

    Two weeks later, he gets five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

    224 - Solar Power

    Overheard conversation at the Student Union at the University of Florida:

    One student telling another about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach.

    She drove down in a convertible, but said she 'didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving.'

    225 - Ole Bubba from Gainesville

    Bubba and Billy Joe, University of Florida grads, were out looking for employment. They were walking along in downtown Ocala, job searching and window shopping. They see a sign on a store which reads, “Suits $5.99 each, shirts $1.99 each, trousers $2.49 each.”

    Bubba says to his pal, “Billy Joe, Look here! We could buy a whole gob of these, take ‘em back to Gainesville, sell ‘em and make a fortune. Just let me do the talkin’, ‘cause you might slip up and let them know we is Gators from right up the road, and not wanna sell that stuff to us.”

    “Now, I’ll talk in my best northern accent so’s they don’t know we is from ‘round here.”

    They go in and Bubba says with his best fake northern accent, “I’ll take 50 of them suits at $5.99, 100 of them there shirts at $1.99, and 50 pairs of them there trousers at $2.39. I’ll back up my pickup and.....”

    The owner of the shop interrupts, “Ya’ll are Gators from just north of here, ain’t ya?”

    “Well...yeah,” says a surprised Bubba. “How come ya’ll knowed that?”

    “Because this is a Dry-Cleaners.”

    226 - Alligator Warning

    The University of Florida Student Activities Office is advising student hikers, hunters, fishers, and golfers to take extra precautions and keep alert for alligators while pursuing outdoor activities.

    They advise students to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle the alligators unexpectedly. They also advise the carrying of pepper spray in case of an encounter with an alligator.

    The Office also notes it is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of alligator activity. Students should recognize the difference between small young alligator and large adult alligator droppings. Young alligator droppings are smaller and contain fish bones and possibly bird feathers. Adult alligator' droppings have little bells in them, smell like pepper spray, and have embedded shreds of orange and blue clothing.

    228 - It's Not Rocket Science

    A Purdue University “Boilermaker“ and a University of Florida “Gator“ were discussing the relative merits of their educational institutions.

    The Purdue Boilermaker noted that the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, was a Purdue graduate.

    The UF Gator, not to be outdone, said, “Yeah, but the University of Florida is going to be the first to put a man on the sun.”

    The Boilermaker looked at the Gator, shook his head, and said, “You can’t land on the sun, you’ll burn up!”

    The Gator replied, “We’re not that stupid; we’re going at night!”

    229 - Helping the Wife

    A University of Florida graduate walked into a bar and orders martini after martini, each time removing the olive and placing it in a jar.

    When the jar is filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Gator starts to leave.

    "S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what had been done. "What was that all about?"

    "Nothing," said the Gator, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives."

    230 - What a Coincidence

    A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.

    "Why of course," comes the reply.

    The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"

    "I'm from Florida," replies the second man.

    The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Florida too! Let's have another round to Florida."

    "Of course," replies the second man. Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Florida are you from?"

    "Gainesville," comes the reply.

    "I can't believe it," says the first man. "l'm from Gainesville too! Let's have another drink to Gainesville."

    "Of course," replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "What school did you go to?"

    "University of Florida," replies the second man. "I graduated in '86."

    "This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to the University of Florida and I graduated in '86, too!"

    About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender.

    "Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The Bartholomew twins are drunk again."

    231 - Medical Technology

    A University of Florida grad comes to the hospital to visit a friend. He has not been in a hospital for several years and feels uneasy, not knowing about all the new technology.

    A technician follows him onto the elevator, wheeling a large, intimidating looking machine with tubes and wires and dials.

    "Boy, would I hate to be hooked up to that thing," the Gator says.

    "So would I," replies the technician. "It's a floor-cleaning machine."

    232 - Magna Carta

    A tour bus load full of noisy Gator Alumni Club tourists arrives at Runnymede, England.

    They gather around the guide who says, "This is the spot where the rebel barons forced King John to sign the Magna Carta."

    Bubba Gator pushes his way to the front of the crowd and asks, "When did that happen?"

    "1215," answers the guide.

    The Gator looks at his watch and says, "Shoot! Just missed it by a half hour!"

    233 - Lost Car Keys!

    Gator Gal checks her pockets for her car keys. Suddenly she realizes she must have left them in the car. Frantically, she heads for the parking lot. Her husband, Bubba Gator, has scolded her many times for leaving her keys in the car's ignition because he’s afraid that the car could be stolen. As Gator Gal looks around the parking lot, she realizes he was right. The parking lot is empty. She immediately calls the Gainesville police. She gives them her location, confesses that she has left her keys in the car, and that it has been stolen.

    Then she makes the most difficult call of all to her husband: "I left my keys in the car and it's been stolen."

    There is a moment of silence. She thinks the call has been disconnected, but then she hears his voice. "Are you kidding me?" he barks, "I dropped you off!"

    Now it is her turn to be silent. Embarrassed, she says, "Well, come and get me."

    He retorts, "I will, as soon as I convince this cop that I didn't steal your car!"

    234 - Pearly Gates

    One day, an FSU Seminole, a UM ‘Cane, and a UF Gator wound up together at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter informed them that in order to get into Heaven, they would each have to answer one question.

    St. Peter addressed the ‘Nole and asked, "What was the name of the ship that crashed into an iceberg? They made a famous movie about it."

    The ‘Nole answered quickly, "That would be the Titanic." St. Peter let him through the gate.

    St. Peter turned to the ‘Cane and decided to make the question a little harder, "How many people died on that ship?"

    Fortunately for him, the ‘Cane had just seen the movie on TV and answered, "About 1,500."

    "That's right! You may enter."

    St. Peter then turned to the Gator. "Name them."

    235 - A ‘Nole and a Gator in the Barbershop

    An FSU Seminole and a UF Gator ended up in the same barber shop.

    Each being worked on by a different barber, not a word is spoken.

    The barbers are even afraid to start a conversation, for fear it will turn to school rivalries.

    As the barbers finish their shaves, the one who has the Gator in his chair reaches for the aftershave.

    The Gator is quick to stop him saying, “No thanks, my wife will smell that and think I’ve been in a House of Ill Repute all day.”

    The second barber turns to the ‘Nole and says, “How about you, sir?”

    The ‘Nole replies, “Go ahead. My wife doesn’t know what the inside of a House of Ill Repute smells like.”

    236 - Gator Gal at the Taxidermy Shop.

    Gator Gal makes her first visit to a taxidermy shop.

    She is amazed at all the things that she sees mounted on the walls: heads of lions, tigers, deer, buffalo ...

    She just walks around, mesmerized by all the displays.

    Finally she has to depart, but as she is leaving she sees this rather hideous pig head which she loves and just has to have.

    She calls over the store manager and asks what would be the cost of the pig head.

    The manager explains that he cannot sell it to her.

    "Why?* she wants to know.

    " ... because you are looking into a mirror."

    237 - UF Facilities Crew

    A salesman has been at the University of Florida selling crying towels as the Gators have been again failing at most of their sports activities. He has pulled a cola from his small cooler and is standing by his car drinking it before he gets back on the road. He sees a nearby UF Facilities truck and a couple of men in orange shirts working along the roadside. One man digs a hole two or three feet deep and then moves on. The other man comes along behind and fills in the hole. So while one is digging a new hole, the other is about 25 feet behind filling in the old hole. The men work right past the salesman with the soft drink and continue on down the road.

    "I can't stand this," says the man tossing the can in a trash container and heading down the road toward the men.

    "Hold it, hold it," he says to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here with this digging?"

    "Well, we are working for Facilities," one of the men says.

    "But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the university's and the state's money?"

    "You don't understand, mister," one of the men says, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us - me, Rodney and Bubba. I dig the hole, Rodney sticks in the tree and Bubba here puts the dirt back. Now just because Rodney's sick, that don't mean that Bubba and me can't work."

    238 - Fishing Buddies Travel to Gainesville

    Four guys decide to spend the weekend at a fishing camp on a lake just outside Gainesville. They get there late Friday night and are up very early Saturday. After about eight rather successful hours they are ready for some relaxation, an early dinner, some sleep, and - hopefully - another good day on the lake Sunday. As they return to their camp they see a tavern right on the property. Outside is a sign that says, "Old Timer's Bar" "ALL DRINKS -- 10 CENTS". They look at each other, then go in.

    The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you, what'll it be, Gentlemen?"

    There seems to be a fully stocked bar, so the men all ask for a whiskey on the rocks. In short order, the bartender serves up four iced whiskeys - and says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."

    They can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.

    Again, four excellent whiskies are produced with the bartender again saying, "That's 40 more cents, please."

    They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity is more than they can stand. They've each had two whiskeys and so far they've spent less than a dollar.

    Finally one of the men can't stand it any longer and asks the bartender "How can you afford to serve whiskies as good as these for a dime a piece?"

    "Here's my story. I'm a retired tailor from Brooklyn, and I always wanted to own a bar down by the water. Last year I hit the lottery for $25 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime whether it's wine, liquor, beer or whatever. They are all the same."

    "Wow. That's quite a story," says one of the men.

    The four of them are sipping at their whiskies and can't help but notice three other people at the end of the bar who don't have a drink in front of them, and haven't ordered anything the whole time they were there.

    One man gestures at the three at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the owner/bartender, "What's with them?"

    The bartender says, "They're old timers from the University of Florida; they're waiting for happy hour."

    239 - Gator Facebook Post

    Gator Facebook Post:

    I need everyone to wish me luck.
    I have a meeting at the bank later today and if all goes well I will be out of debt.
    I am so excited I can hardly put on my ski mask.

    240 - Gator at the Pool

    Gator Bubba is telling his buddies:

      "I got caught taking a pee in the swimming pool today.
      The Lifeguard shouted at me so loud I nearly fell in."

    241 - Dancin' on the Table

    Gator Bubba goes to his local Gainesvlle hangout for a few beers.

    He sees a very BIG University of Florida Cheerleader dancing on a table.

    He says, "Good legs!"

    The cheerleader giggles and says, "Do you really think so?

    In a moment of very rare comprehension, Gator Bubba decides not to tell her he spoke thinking that most tables would have collapsed by now.

    242 - Bubba the Gator Golfer

    Gator Bubba takes up golf. It looks easy.

    Six years later he has still not broken 120 and his buddies have two things to say about his game.

    • The thing about Bubba is that one day he'll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps, miss every green, and three putt all the greens once he is finally on them. The next day he'll go out and for no reason really stink!
    • Bubba's best shots are the practice swing and the 'gimme' putt.

    243 - Bubba and His Wife

    The wife of Bubba the Gator asks him to take her to a restaurant where they make your food right in front of you.
    So he takes her to Subway.

    Bubba the Gator’s Therapist: Your wife says you never buy her flowers.
    Bubba: To be honest, I never knew that she sold flowers.

    Bubba is in bed with his wife.
    He says, "Isn't it true that I'm the only one you've ever loved?"
    His wife thinks for a bit and then says, "I guess you're right. I've loved some 7's and 8's and 9's but you're the only 1."

    Bubba the Gator finally gets to the point where he can draw Social Security so he retires.
    His wife is asked how things are going? “Terrible,” she says, “Twice as much husband on half as much pay.”

    Bubba and his wife have been married for a number of years.
    Bubba’s wife says him one day, “Why don’t you get some pills that would maybe help get you up to some action in the bedroom again?"
    So Bubba goes out and buys his wife some diet pills.
    Apparently not what she meant.

    Bubba’s wife tells him to go out and get something that will make her look sexy.
    So Bubba goes out and gets a large bottle of whiskey and returns home very drunk.

    244 - Gator Party Fun

    Bubba the Gator is struggling at UF. Currently he is a fifth year sophomore, and it finally dawns on him that he needs to get his act together to finish his studies in fingerpainting.

    So he rents an apartment not far from campus in the quietest area of Gainesville he can find. His only activities become going to class and getting back to his quiet apartment to study. He even finds a way to get loaned more money so he can have food delivered to his apartment. Mostly it's total peace and quiet. After a full semester of almost total isolation, Bubba is surprised when someone knocks on his door. He opens it and there's a big, bearded, tattooed man in a ragged and sleeveless UF sweatshirt standing there.

    “Name's Joe Bob ...Your neighbor from across the way ... Having a birthday party Friday ... Thought you might like to come. About 5 ...”

    “Great,” says Bubba, “after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you.”

    As Joe Bob is leaving, he stops. “Gotta warn you ... There's gonna be some drinkin'.”

    “Not a problem ... after five years at the University of Florida, I can drink with the best of ‘em.”

    Again, as he starts to leave, Joe Bob stops. “More'n likely gonna be some fightin' too.”

    Bubba says, “Well, I get along with people. I'll be there. Thanks again.”

    Once again Joe Bob turns from the door. “I've seen some wild sex at these parties, too.”

    “Now that's really not a problem,” says Bubba. “I've been all alone for a full semester! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I bring?”

    Joe Bob stops in the door again and says, “Whatever you want, just gonna be the two of us.”

    245 - Bicycle Spills

    Bubba the Gator and his Gator buddies are sitting in the local Gainesville tavern having a few “brews” since their unemployment checks came in the day before.

    Gator Joe Bob sees the bruises and bandages all over Bubba and asks, “What happened to you, bro’?”

    Bubba replies, “Well, I went to the liquor store yesterday afternoon on my bicycle, bought a bottle of Jack Daniels and put it in the bicycle basket. As I was about to leave, I thought to myself that if I fell off the bicycle, the bottle would break. So I drank all the Jack Daniels before I cycled home.”

    “It turned out to be a very good decision, because I fell off my bicycle seven times on the way home.”

    246 - And They say Blondes Are Dumb . . .

    One day a housework-challenged Gator-Grad husband decided to wash his sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to his wife, “What setting do I use on the washing machine?”

    “It depends,” she replied. “What does it say on your sweatshirt?”

    He yelled back, “University of Florida.”

    This explains a lot of things.

    247 - Bubba has Issues

    Bubba the Gator's wife has told him he has severe anger issues and a strong sense of apathy.

    At first, Bubba was furious, but then he thougnt, "Eh, so what?"

    248 - Bubba has Anger Issues

    Bubba the Gator is at the Employment Office with his buddies; all waiting for their unemployment checks. They are talking about all kinds of things.

    Bubba points out that he has been having some anger issues, and asks if anyone knows how to handle them.

    One of his buddies says that he heard that a good way to let go of anger is to write letters to people you hate and then to burn them.

    Bubba says that sounds like a good idea and something he'll try.

    Two weeks later he is back with his buddies waiting for their next checks. His buddies want to know how things are going with his anger management.

    Bubba replies, "It really helps a lot. Now I just need to figure out what to do with all these letters."

    They continued to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said. "THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR."

    263 - The Only Cow

    The only cow in a small, central-Florida town stopped giving milk. The people did some investigating and found that they could buy a cow for $600 from the University of Florida Agricultural Research Station that was less than 20 miles away.

    They brought the cow from UF and the cow was wonderful.

    It produced lots of milk all of the time, and the people were very happy.

    They decided to rent the “services” of a stud bull to mate with the cow to produce more cows like it. They would never have to worry about their milk supply again.

    They rented the bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull tried to mount the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.

    The people were very upset and decided to ask their local Vet, who was very wise, what to do.

    They told the Vet what was happening. "Whenever the bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An attempt from the side, she walks away to the other side."

    The Vet thought about this for a minute and asked,

    "Did you by chance, buy this cow from the University of Florida?"

    The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever mentioned where they bought the cow. "You are truly a wise Vet,"

    They said. "How did you know we got the cow from UF?"

    The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye,

    "My wife is a UF alum."
