A man that was right jealous on his wife, dreamed on a night as he lay abed with her & slept, that the Devil appeared unto him and said: Wouldst thou not be glad, that I should put thee in surety of thy wife? Yes, said he. Hold, said the Devil, as long as thou hast this ring upon thy finger, no man shall make thee cuckold. The man was glad thereof, and when he awaked, he found his finger in his wife's mouth.

There was a rich widow, which desired a gossip of hers, that she would get her an husband: Not for the nice play, quoth she, but to the intent he may keep my goods together, which is an hard thing for me to do, being a lone woman. Her gossip which understood her conceit, promised her so to do. About three or four days after, she came to her again, and said: Gossip, I have found an husband for you, that is a prudent, aware, & a worldly wise man, but he lacketh his privy members: whereof ye force not.

Go to the Devil with that husband (quoth the widow), for though that I desire not the nice play, yet I will that mine husband shall have that, wherewith we may be reconciled, if we fall at variance.

A barber, a bald man and an absent-minded professor taking a journey together. They have to camp overnight, so decide to take turns watching the luggage. When it's the barber's turn, he gets bored, so amuses himself by shaving the head of the professor. When the professor is woken up for his shift, he feels his head, and says "How stupid is that barber? He's woken up the bald man instead of me."

When an intellectual was told by someone, "Your beard is now coming in," he went to the rear entrance and waited for it. Another intellectual asked what he was doing. Once he heard the whole story, he said: "I'm not surprised that people say we lack common sense. How do you know that it's not coming in by the other gate?"
