My daughter had a job interview with Chuck Norris today. We told her that she ought to ask him if the Bible wasn't originally titled "Chuck Norris & Friends" but she chickened out. What she did do was tell him that her brother liked all the Chuck Norris jokes so Chuck cracked one himself.

He told her he'd cut a chin hair off and send it home with her for her brother, but that it'd probably break the scissors.

He introduced himself as Walker Texas Ranger.

We think she got the job.

She was worried he might not appreciate the Chuck Norris jokes come to find out he might have contributed a few.

those stupid jokes are the only reason no one has totally forgotten about him or think that he's the guy that sells the exercise machines on late night tv. those jokes even got him a prominent spot in the campaign of a (failed) bid for the Republican nomination for president in 2008, and now people actually give his opinions on current political matter extra weight..

Out of curiosity, what type of job is she applying for?

Chuck is on the board of directors of a school for autistic children. He regularly teaches a martial arts class.

My daughter teaches/works with autistic children.

Being from the DFW area I've seen and talked to Chuck multiple times. He's really just another guy and quite a bit more down to earth than you'd think based upon the jokes.

The local radio morning crew interviewed him a while back, and he seemed like a good guy. They talked about the jokes and he cracked a few himself; he said he got a kick out of many of them but he didn't like the dirty ones.

Chuck Norris got a kick? I thought he only gave kicks.

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

If Chuck Norris were president, he'd bring home the troops...then announce that he will give terrorists 48 hours to turn themselves in before he goes over there and deals with them personally.

Well, he has a lot more time to think about political matters than most people because he doesn't sleep. He waits.

If Chuck Norris were President, he'd roundhouse-kick one of the r's out of novaderrik and change the i to an e with a scowl................because he can.

Chuck is good people. I had a few chats with him in the early '80s at Century Martial Arts in Midwest City OK.

That's a joke that needs to be logged into the long term memory.
