"'The Invasion' movie comes out this weekend. It's a remake of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers,' a classic science fiction movie. In the 1950s movies, all the aliens would come down with their powerful weapons and threaten the American way of life. Of course it was all a metaphor for communism, because everyone at that time was scared of the Soviets. We thought the Russians were drunk on power. Turns out they were just drunk." - Craig Ferguson

After buying her kids a pet hamster, after they PROMISED they would take care of it, Mom, as usual, ended up with the responsibility.
 
One evening, exasperated, she asked them, "How many times do you think that hamster would have died if I hadn't looked after it?"
 
After a moment, her youngest son replied quizzically, "Once?"

From Jay
 
The pilot was sitting in his seat and pulled out a .38 revolver.
 
He placed it on top of the instrument panel, and then asked the navigator, "Do you know what I use this for?"
 
The navigator replied timidly, "No, what's it for?"
 
The pilot responded, "I use this on navigators who get me lost."
 

The navigator proceeded to pull out a .45 and place it on his chart table.
 
The pilot asked, "What's that for?"
 

"To be honest, sir," the navigator replied, "I'll know we're lost before you will."
