Adam And Eve Jokes
~0.7 mins read
At what time of day was Adam born?
A little before Eve.
When was radio first mentioned in the Bible?
When the Lord took a rib from Adam and made a loudspeaker.
Eve: Adam, do you love me?
Adam: Who else?
Adam and Eve were naming the animals of the earth when along came a rhinoceros.
“What shall we call this one?” Adam asked.
“Let’s call it a rhinoceros,” said Eve.
“Why?” responded Adam.
“Well, it looks more like a rhinoceros than anything we’ve named yet!” Eve replied.
Teacher: Why was Adam a famous runner?
Student: Because he was first in the human race.
Adam was created first . . . to give him a chance to say something.
What a good thing Adam had—when he said something he knew nobody had said it before.
The first Adam-splitting gave us Eve, a force which men in all ages have never gotten under control.

Passenger: Excuse me. How high is this plane?
Flight Attendant: About 30,000 feet.
Passenger: And how wide is it?
The loudspeaker of the big jet clicked on and the captain’s voice announced in a clear, even tone: “Now there’s no cause for alarm but we felt you should know that for the last three hours we’ve been flying without the benefit of radio, compass, radar, or navigational beam due to the breakdown of certain key components.
This means that we are, in the broad sense of the word, lost and not quite sure in which direction we are heading. I’m sure you’ll be glad to know however, that we’re making excellent time!”
An airliner flew into a violent thunderstorm and was soon swaying and bumping in the sky.
One very nervous lady happened to be sitting next to a clergyman and turned to him for comfort.
“Can’t you do something?” she demanded.
“I’m sorry, ma’am,” said the reverend gently. “I’m in sales, not management.”
A man is now able to go across the United States in eight hours . . . four hours for flying, and the other four to get to the airport.
The airline company was disturbed over a high percentage of accidents and decided to eliminate human errors by building a completely mechanical plane.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” came a voice over a loudspeaker on the plane’s maiden voyage, “it may interest you to know that you are now traveling in the world’s first completely automated plane. Now just sit back and relax because nothing can possibly go wrong . . . go wrong . . . go wrong . . . go wrong . . .”
