A man lay sprawled across three entire seats at the Joe Louis Arena. When the usher came by and
noticed this, he whispered to the man, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat." The man groaned, but didn't budge. The usher became
impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager." Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the
usher who turned and marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager. In a few moments, both the usher and the manager stood over the
man. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move him, but with no success. Finally they summoned the police. The cop surveyed the
situation briefly then asked, "All right, buddy, what's your name?"
"Sam," the man moaned.
"Where you from, Sam?"
With pain in his voice, Sam replied, "The upper bowl."
A drunk decides to go ice fishing,
so he gathers his gear and goes walking around until he finds a big patch of
ice. He heads into the center of the ice and begins to saw a hole.
All of a sudden, a loud, booming voice comes out of the sky.
"You will find no fish under that ice!" The drunk looks around,
but sees no one. He starts sawing again. Once more the voice speaks,
"As I said before, there are no fish under the ice." The drunk
looks all around, high and low, but can't see a single soul. He picks up
the saw and tries one more time to finish his hole. Before he can even
start cutting, the huge voice interrupts.
"I have warned you three times now. There are no fish!"
The drunk is now flustered and somewhat scared, so he asks the voice, "How
do you know there are no fish? Are you God, trying to warn me?"
"No, stupid," the voice replied, "I am the manager of this hockey
rink!"

argument one day about hockey. To settle it, Satan proposed that a game be
played on neutral grounds between a select team from the heavenly host and his
own hand-picked boys.
"Very well," said the gatekeeper of Heaven. "But you realize, I
hope, that we've got all the good players and the best coaches."
"I know, and that's all right," Satan answered. "We've got
all the referees!"
