On the topic of cooking:
The owner of a seafood restaurant sent one of his sons undercover to his rival's restaurant, telling him to get a job in the kitchen and figure out the recipe for his rival's famous clam chowder.
The first day, the son came home with a basic list of ingredients the rival used.
They tried making it but it didn’t turn out the same.
The second day, having watched the rival chef prepare the chowder, the son came home and they tried again to make it.
It was close but the consistency was off – it was too thin.
As they were trying to figure out what they were doing wrong the son remembered he was distracted for a minute while the chef did something.
"He must have added a secret ingredient, one not on the list, while you looked away,” his father said.
The next morning he reminded his son not to take his eyes off the chef for a minute.
When the son got home that night he was very excited.
"You'll never believe what I saw!"
he said. "He did have a secret ingredient, it's a piece of paper!"
"A piece of paper?" repeated his father.
“Yeah,” said the son. He keeps a stack of printed paper in the kitchen. It's a bunch of Wikipedia articles he's printed out, of various movies. When he makes the chowder, he tears out the synopsis of a movie from one of the articles and puts it in. It's the strangest thing, but that's the secret ingredient.”
"Ah," said his father, "the plot thickens!”

A dumb guy is overweight, so his doctor puts him on a diet. 'I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat that for two weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds.' When the guy returns, he's lost nearly 20 pounds."
"'Wow, that's amazing!' the doctor says. 'Did you follow my instructions?'
The guy nods. 'I'll tell you, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day.'
'From hunger, you mean?' said the doctor.
'No, from skipping,' replied the guy."
Just brilliant @TallTrees 😂🤣

“It's been almost 4000 years since I did this one!" Moses said, raising his arms. The water parted, revealing the floor of the lake.
Jesus clapped his hands and said, "Good one! It's only been about 2000 years since I did this."
He stepped off the boat onto the water and immediately sank into the lake.
Moses parted the water, threw a line down to soaking wet Jesus and helped him back into the boat.
Jesus said, "That was embarrassing. I guess I need to clear my mind and focus. He closed his eyes, took a deep slow breath and stepped off the boat again. Alas, he again sank to the bottom of the lake.
Moses parted the water and helped Jesus up again, saying, “Hey, maybe we should just head back. You can try again tomorrow.”
But Jesus said, "No,
I can do this." He mouthed a silent prayer and winked at the sky but sank again when he stepped off the boat.Moses parted the water for the third time and helped Jesus up.
Jesus was shaken, but then looked at his feet and smiled, saying, “I know what's wrong now. Last time I didn't have these damn holes in my feet."
Also brilliant. Didn't see that one coming! 😂
