Walking to School You probably know of those "walking to school"

stories ... I walked to school each day, 5 miles, uphill,both ways, barefoot, in the snow .....

Well, when I was a kid, I really did walk 10 miles toschool every day, sometimes in the rain or snow. Man,did I feel stupid when I found out there was a bus.

Captured Thief One day we saw a news report on TV about the

owner of a craft shop and one of her employees whohad apprehended a would-be thief and held him captive until police arrived to arrest him. As we listened to the story, my grandson

commented dryly, "What did they do? Hold him atneedlepoint?"

Galaxies The New York Times, among other papers, has

published a new Hubble photograph of distant galaxiescolliding.

Of course, astronomers have had pictures of colliding galaxies for quite some time now, but withthe vastly improved resolution provided by the HubbleSpace Telescope, you can actually see the lawyersrushing to the scene...

Turning to the attendant, he said, "Okay, I give up.Why is the mistletoe hanging there above the luggagescale?"

The attendant said, "So you can kiss your luggagegood-bye."

New Fathers A group of expectant fathers sat nervously in the

hall. A nurse beckoned to one of them and said, "Congratulations, you have a son!" Another man dropped his magazine, jumped up and

said, "Hey, what's the idea? I got here two hours beforehe did!"

Paid in Full A woman was getting swamped with calls from

strangers. The reason? A billing service had launchedan 800 number that was identical to hers. When shecalled to complain, she was told to get a new number.

"I've had mine for twenty years," she pleaded."Couldn't you change yours?"

The company refused, so she said, "Fine. From nowon, I'm going to tell everyone who calls that their bill ispaid in full."

The company got a new number the next day.

Don’t annoy me this week, because if you do... I will give your number to all the kids and

tell them it’s Santa’s Hotline.

Pirates Two pirates are talking. One has a wooden leg, a

hook, and an eye patch. How'd you get that wooden leg, mate? Ay, it got bit off by a varmit shark. How'd you get that metal hook? Lost 'er in a sword fight . . . guy cut off me bloody

hand. How'd you get that eye patch? Well, I was up in the crows nest and I looked up to

spy this seagull. The dang thing got me right in theeye!

Well, how'd THAT make you blind? Arr, it was the first day I had me hook!

Foot Snuggle On a chilly winter evening, a husband and wife

were snuggled together on the floor watching television. During a commercial break, he reached overand gave her foot a gentle squeeze.

"Mmmmm," she said. "That's so sweet." "Actually," he admitted sheepishly, "I thought that

was the remote."

Crayons Little Johnny had been bringing his drawings home

from kindergarten every day since he started a monthago. Each day his mother admired the pictures andhung them on the refrigerator. One thing started bothering her. Little Johnny only used black andbrowns for his drawings. Fearing a problem and notwanting it to get worse, she decided to take him to achild psychologist.

The psychologist delicately went to work. He gaveLittle Johnny a battery of psychological tests. He chatted with Little Johnny. Everything seemed perfectly normal. Every day for two weeks, the testscontinued. Yet everyday, Little Johnny continued tobring home drawings in only blacks and browns.

Frustrated at not being able to get to the root of theproblem and fearful that something was terribly wrong,the child psychologist decided to give Little Johnnysome paper and a box of crayons and observe whathappened.

Little Johnny opened the box of crayons and said,"Oh, Boy! A new box of crayons! At school we onlyhave old boxes. The only ones left in mine are blackand brown!"

Scrimping and Saving After years of scrimping and saving, a husband told

his wife the good news: "Honey, we've finally savedenough money to buy what we started saving for in1979." "You mean a brand-new Cadillac?" she asked eagerly. "No," said the husband, "a 1979 Cadillac."

TREE SERVICE


Mom's Request of SantaDear Santa,

I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned,and cuddled my two children on demand, sold 62cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shadetree on the school playground, and figured out how toattach nine patches onto my daughter's Girl Scout sashwith staples and a glue gun.

I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmas, since I had to write this letter withmy son's red crayon on the back of a receipt in thelaundry room between cycles, and who knows whenI'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years.

I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache after a day ofchasing kids (in any color, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't flap in the breeze,but are strong enough to carry a screaming toddler outof the candy aisle in the grocery store. I'd also like awaist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventhmonth of my last pregnancy.

If you're hauling big ticket items this year, I'd like a car with fingerprint resistant windows and a radiothat only plays adult music; and a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals.

On the practical side, I could use a talking daughterdoll that says, "Yes, Mommy" to boost my parentalconfidence, along with one potty-trained toddler andtwo kids who don't fight.

If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb myhair in the same morning, or the luxury of eating foodwarmer than room temperature without it being servedin a Styrofoam container. And if you don't mind, Icould also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely.

Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is ringing andmy son saw my feet under the laundry room door. Ithink he wants his crayon back. Have a safe trip and help yourself to cookies on the table, but please don'teat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet.Yours Always, Mom

Ulterior Motive Surgeons invited to dinner parties are often asked to

carve the meat -- or worse yet, to watch the host carvewhile commenting on the surgeon's occupation. At oneparty, a surgeon friend was watching the carving whileHarry, his host, kept up a running commentary: "Howam I doing, doc? How do you like that technique? I'dmake a pretty good surgeon, don't you think?"

When the host finished and the slices of meat layneatly on the serving platter, the surgeon spoke up:"Anybody can take them apart, Harry. Now lets seeyou put them back together again."

Humor In Old AgeThere were these two elderly people living in a

Florida mobile home park - he was a widower and shea widow. They had known one another fora number of years. Now, one evening there was acommunity supper in the big activity center. Thesetwo were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal went on, he made a few admiring

glances at her and finally gathered up his courage toask her, "Will you marry me?"After about six seconds of 'careful consideration',

she answered - "Yes. Yes, I will."The meal ended and with a few more pleasant

exchanges they went to their respective places.Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes'

or did she say 'no'?"He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just

could not recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her.

First, he explained to her that he didn't remember aswell as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovelyevening past. As he gained a little more courage, hethen inquired of her, "When I asked if you wouldmarry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"

He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes,yes I will' and I meant it with all my heart."

Then she continued, "And I am so glad that youcalled, because I couldn't remember who had askedme."

She's New To FootballA guy took his girlfriend to her first football game.

Afterward he asked her how she liked the game."I liked it, but I couldn't understand why they were

killing each other for 25 cents," she said."What do you mean?" he asked."Well, everyone kept yelling, 'Get the quarter

back!'"

Forgiveness Early in their marriage, my Dad did something

really stupid. My Mom chewed him out for it. Heapologized, they made up.

However, from time to time, my Mom mentionedwhat he had done. "Honey," my Dad finally said oneday, "why do you keep bringing that up? I thoughtyour policy was 'forgive and forget.'"

"It is," she said. "I just don't want you to forgetwhat I've forgiven and forgotten."

Spaghetti is the stringy food you wind around your fork and then drop in your lap.

The Speaker A man is giving a speech at his lodge meeting. He

gets a bit carried away and talks for two hours. Finally, he realizes what he is doing and says; "I'm

sorry I talked so long. I left my watch at home." A voice from the back of the room says, "There's a

calendar behind you."

Sherlock and the IRS A stockbroker received notice from the IRS that he was being

audited. He showed up at the appointed time and place with all his financial records, then sat for what seemed like hours as the accountant pored over them.

Finally the IRS agent looked up and commented, "You must havebeen a tremendous fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."

"Why would you say that?" replied the broker. "Because you've made more brilliant deductions on your last three

returns than Sherlock Holmes made in his entire career."

Just A Small MistakeA minister and lawyer were chatting at a party."What do you do if you make a mistake on a case?"

the minister asked."Try to fix it if it's big; ignore it if it's insignificant,"

replied the lawyer. "What do you do?" The minister replied "Oh, more or less the same.

Let me give you an example. The other day I meant tosay 'the devil is the father of liars,' but instead I said'the devil is the father of lawyers,' so I let it go."

Haircuts All AroundA man and a little boy entered a barbershop

together. After the man received the full treatment -shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed theboy in the chair. "I'm going to buy a green tie to wearfor the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

When the boy's haircut was completed and the manstill hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like yourdaddy's forgotten all about you.""That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just

walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on,son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"

Getting His Act Together“Doctor, now that I’m going to marry Susan,

there’s one thing I want to get off my chest.”“What’s that young man?”“A tatooed heart with the name Mary on it.”

No matter how old you are, an empty Christmas wrappingpaper tube is still a fun thing to

bonk someone on the head with.School Theater

Billy's father picked him up from school to takehim to a dental appointment. Knowing the actingroles for the school play were being posted that day,he asked Billy if he got a part.

Billy enthusiastically announced that he'd gottena part. "I play a man who's been married for twentyyears."

"That's great, son. Keep up the good work andbefore you know it they'll be giving you a speakingpart."

I was going to buy a copy of "The Power of Positive Thinking," and then I thought:

What good would that do?-- Ronnie Shakes
