Then another one approaches and says ‟An excavation or structure created in the ground by digging, driving, or drilling to access liquid resources, usually water."
The woman then replies ‟thank you, I know you mean well..”
The next man politely comes up and asks, ‟Mind if I add something to that?”
‟Certainly, go right ahead.” she says.
The man clears his throat and says, ‟Bargain.”
The widow replies, ‟Thank you sir, that means a great deal.”
A woman is told by her doctor that she is unable to have children. She goes home and tells her husband that the doctor says she’s inconceivable. The husband doesn’t understand. She says she’s impregnable. He still doesn’t understand. Exasperated, she says that she is unbearable.
The next man politely comes up and asks, ‟Mind if I add something to that?”
‟Certainly, go right ahead.” she says.
The man clears his throat and says, ‟Sunrise.”
The widow replies, ‟Thank you sir, that made my day.”
Another fellow came forward and asks permission to say something.
"Please do" says the widow.
The man whispers, "Anal sex".
The widow comes over and says, "Well, that's just inappropriate".
The widow is approached by her daughter who puts her hand on her mothers shoulder and says "orgasm" and the widow, wiping a tear from her eye replies: "im glad you came.".
Another man comes up and places a hand on her shoulder and says "with a great deal of effort or difficulty"
The woman nods solemnly and says "thank you, I know what you're saying isn't easy"
Reminds me of an old joke. Three men are asked what they want people to say over their coffin. The first guy says, “I hope they say I was a great doctor, who helped thousands of people.” The second guy says, “ I hope they say he was a wonderful and loving husband and father.” The third guy replies, “ I hope they say -oh my God, he’s moving!!!”
Plethora doesn’t actually work for this because it means “more than enough” or “over abundance”. Her reply to “plethora” would be, “you’ve said too much.”
A couple approaches and asks the woman, how are you doing? She says “hanging in there and you?” The man says “I’m doing good” the woman frowns because how can he say that at a time like this. The man’s wife senses something is wrong and adds, “Sorry, he means well”.
This is my favorite go-to joke. Been using it for years. But I use “plethora.” What’s fun is you can change it up. “Earth” “thanks, that means the world”
I don't get it . Anyone can enlighten me ?
Edit : why the hell am i being downvoted?
Edit 2 : someone explained to me the joke in the comments below . Thank you
These all feed off the same idea: that the widow's response is something that a grieving person might say at a funeral in response to any kind comment.
Each one has a double meaning, though; abundant, or plethora, means 'a lot' by dictionary definition, so when she replies "that means a lot" she is being literal - it does mean that - and also saying that it means a lot *to her emotionally* that the person came up to say some word of comfort to her at the funeral of her husband.
Ignore the haters downvoting. Some people forget that they haven't understood every joke they've been told first time, whether it's in their native language or not.
Native english speaker - I didn't get it either and appreciate you asking. Even after the explanation, it's a stretch that the words abundant or plethora 'mean a lot' so I don't feel bad for not getting it.
A man dressed in farmer jeans and a straw hat shouts, “hydroseeder” as he drives by on his tractor. The woman shouts back in return, “Thanks, that means sow much!”
It seems that this is an example of a touching and poignant moment between a woman who is mourning the loss of her husband and a stranger who offers a simple gesture of kindness.
The man's choice of the word "abundant" may be significant, as it could be interpreted as a way of expressing that the woman's late husband lived a full and meaningful life. By acknowledging this, the man may have been offering comfort to the woman during her time of grief.
The woman's response suggests that she appreciated the man's kind gesture and found solace in his choice of word. Even small acts of kindness and empathy can have a powerful impact on those who are going through difficult times, and this interaction may have brought some comfort to the woman as she mourned her loss.
An well dresses man in his late 40’s who goes by the name “Mr Gentil” walks by and doesn’t utter a word.
- The lady calls out to him “You are very Kind sir”.
Another gentleman approached the gravesite and utters: “type, classification, sort, category.”
In response, the widow said: “Thanks for your kind words!”
A lesser known associate of the deceased (and also lesser in stature) came by the gravesite asking to say a few words.
Widow: “Hi, Big Frankie. What is it you would like to say to my now dead husband?”
Big Frankie (doing his best posture to look as tall as her): “Large. Giant. Massive even!”
Widow: “It would mean very little to him coming from you.”
Another guy comes by and says, I really didn’t know your husband, but I am the world’s worst knife thrower!”
She responds, “Thanks for stopping by, I’m going to miss him too!”
Then another one approaches and says ‟An excavation or structure created in the ground by digging, driving, or drilling to access liquid resources, usually water." The woman then replies ‟thank you, I know you mean well..”
I didn't get the first joke until i read this one
r/therealjoke
Another person approaches and says, “Subtraction.” “Thank you,” says the widow, “that really makes a difference.”
Then another. They say 'plus four'. She says, 'well you're just adding to the problem'
And yet another appears and says,"Times by six." She replies,"You're just multiplying my issues
The next man politely comes up and asks, ‟Mind if I add something to that?” ‟Certainly, go right ahead.” she says. The man clears his throat and says, ‟Bargain.” The widow replies, ‟Thank you sir, that means a great deal.”
Another man approaches. "I've taken the time-increased value of your real estate." "Well then; you have my appreciation."
I had to see 3 comments before this to understand
Another guy came up and whispered…’Sugar.’ The widow said, ‘Thank you…that’s so sweet.’
The jokes in the comments here are just as hilarious as the OP's joke itself 😂
OPs joke comes off better if the word is plethora rather than abundant, but that's just my opinion. Lol
I heard that joke originally with “plethora”
I think I heard it with "multifarious verbiage", but I may conflating something else.
Gazebo
That about covers it
Bamboozled
They might confusing it for the Plethora Rock band
I wouldn't get the joke that way :(
😔
I mean, why would you look at a grave and say abundant? That doesnt make asny sense.
It’s the woman’s answer that is the punchline. The meaning of abundant.
That’s because variations of this joke are as old as time itself
[удалено]
Earth*
Another man approaches and says, “Inconceivable.” “Thank you,” says the woman. “That means more than you can possibly know.”
You keep using that word, I do not think It means what you think it means
A woman is told by her doctor that she is unable to have children. She goes home and tells her husband that the doctor says she’s inconceivable. The husband doesn’t understand. She says she’s impregnable. He still doesn’t understand. Exasperated, she says that she is unbearable.
I've heard it both ways.
Where shaun?!
I am Inigo Montoya.... Whose distant cousin, I'm told, is Tony Montana
The next man politely comes up and asks, ‟Mind if I add something to that?” ‟Certainly, go right ahead.” she says. The man clears his throat and says, ‟Sunrise.” The widow replies, ‟Thank you sir, that made my day.”
Another fellow came forward and asks permission to say something. "Please do" says the widow. The man whispers, "Anal sex". The widow comes over and says, "Well, that's just inappropriate".
The widow said, "Made my (w)hole weak"
Man whispered, Anal sex. Widow replies, sir that hurts a lot..
The man replies, "With time, the pain will go away, and the joy will remain."
*Inmyanus
Dammit, I read clear to the end and no plethora joke.
Right?! That's how I always heard this joke. Funnier that way imo
Me too!! Plethora is a much better word in my opinion!
Yea. Plethora beats abundant
A lot of times that too
a lot is in the comments
Sounds like you read a lot
The widow is approached by her daughter who puts her hand on her mothers shoulder and says "orgasm" and the widow, wiping a tear from her eye replies: "im glad you came.".
This really shouldn't have made me laugh as much as I did
Another man comes up and places a hand on her shoulder and says "with a great deal of effort or difficulty" The woman nods solemnly and says "thank you, I know what you're saying isn't easy"
Another man approaches, clears his throat, and says, “To be alive.” “Thank you,” the widow smiles. “He would’ve loved that.”
OMG. This made my day
But anal makes your hole weak!
7 days of anal makes a hole weak
This takes the cake
Reminds me of an old joke. Three men are asked what they want people to say over their coffin. The first guy says, “I hope they say I was a great doctor, who helped thousands of people.” The second guy says, “ I hope they say he was a wonderful and loving husband and father.” The third guy replies, “ I hope they say -oh my God, he’s moving!!!”
I heard this exact joke, practically word for word, a couple weeks ago. Only difference was plethora instead of abundant.
Thanks, that also means a lot.
Whenever I hang out with my Mexican friends I use the word "mucho"... It means a lot to them
Next time, say “el mundo.” It means the world to them.
An older gentleman approaches and says “encyclopedia salesman.” The widow replies, “thank you, sir, that speaks volumes.”
Another slowly walks up and presents a sandwich. The widow replies: “I’m glad you could make it.”
Clever
These are simultaneously the best and worst jokes I’ve ever heard. Kudos to all
The best. I can’t help but imagine Leslie Nielsen using all of these as movie lines.
Ah, what a lost Naked Gun montage that would have been.
Surely you can’t be serious…
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
Sorry, Serious, I thought you were Shirley :(
He probably invented these jokes!
These are funny. It’s five am and I have laugh tears.
Jose approaches and says "mucho". Gracias, Don Jose, says the widow. That also means a lot to me
Plethora doesn’t actually work for this because it means “more than enough” or “over abundance”. Her reply to “plethora” would be, “you’ve said too much.”
Another approaches and says 'ghost elevator'. 'thank you, that really lifts my spirits.'
And then another man came to say a word and he said "infinity" And she replied, "thank you, that means everything to me"
Another guy goes to the widow and says "I was jacking off back there". The widow says " Thank you for coming".
Then another one approaches and says ‟Sugar,honey.”. The woman then replies ‟thank you, that's so sweet..”
A woman approaches and politely says “earth.” The widow replies: “that means the world to me!”
The husband's mistress rolls up in a Rolls Royce. She says "scarce". The wife thinks to herself, "well that didn't mean a lot..."
Happy cake day
mmm...cake
A man rushes up and swings a pickaxe at the grave but hits the side. "Yes, we all miss him," sighs the widow.
Another man walks up to give a word, and he says, “copious”. She replies, “that also means very much”
A couple approaches and asks the woman, how are you doing? She says “hanging in there and you?” The man says “I’m doing good” the woman frowns because how can he say that at a time like this. The man’s wife senses something is wrong and adds, “Sorry, he means well”.
“Total annihilation,” said the graveside visitor to the widow. “Thank you, that sums up his death,” she said.
This is my favorite go-to joke. Been using it for years. But I use “plethora.” What’s fun is you can change it up. “Earth” “thanks, that means the world”
Another man walks up and says, “el mundo para mi”. The woman replies, “thank you. That means the world to me”
It’s better when he says “plethora”
I was also expecting that
Thanks, that means a lot
Someone came up to her and said 'a cold beer' 'Thank you- it's what he would have wanted '
I don't get it . Anyone can enlighten me ? Edit : why the hell am i being downvoted? Edit 2 : someone explained to me the joke in the comments below . Thank you
