Down in South Alabama a woman passing a neighbor’s house, and beholding the lord and master of the establishment dozing peacefully on the shady veranda, leaned over the garden fence, and to the man’s longsuffering better half observed: “Well, I see your old man is still taking things easy.†The woman in the garden straightened up from her hoeing, absently massaged her aching back, and replied. “Yes Sarah, he is.†A wispy ghost of a smile flitted over her tired face. “You know,†she added, “that man has just two regrets in life. One is that he has to wake up to eat, and the other that he has to quit eating to sleep.†* * *

An elderly man, 82, just returned from the doctors only to find he didn't have long to live. So he summoned the three most important people in his life to tell them of his fate: 1. His Doctor 2. His Priest 3. His Lawyer. He said, "Well, today I found out I don't have long to live. So, I have summoned you three here, because you are the most important people in my life, and I need to ask a favor. Today, I am going to give each of you an envelope with $50,000 dollars inside. When I die, I would ask that all three of you throw the money into my grave." After the man passed on, the three people happened to run into each other. The doctor said, "I have to ad…

A lush brother up in the North Woods one day wandered around to where a couple of fellows were working with one of those big cross-cut saws where one stands on each side of the tree they are cutting. One of these lumbermen was practically a giant, and the other a little shrimp. Back and forth went the saw, back and forth. Finally the drunk could stand it no longer. “You big bully,†he exclaimed, smacking the giant lumberman flush on the jaw, “if the little guy wants the saw – let him have it.†* * *

The older one mentioned how lucky things were for youngsters. “How can you say so?†replied the other. “Look at the things we have to put up with now. All kinds of insecticides. It’s so hard to live these days.†“Maybe,†retorted the older. “But in my time when I wandered around the beach we could bite a girl only on the hands or face. Look at the opportunities you fellows have these days.†* * *

Officer Mullooney was the stupidest clunk on the Sarsaparilla Falls police force, but his father-in-law was mayor and president of the bank, so there was no way of remedying the situation. One night his chief told Mullooney: “There’s a buzzard been carting apples out of Farmer Klopfer’s orchard every night. I want you to catch him red-handed.†Late that night, Mullooney spotted a man sneaking off the Klopfer premises with a heavy sack. “Mull†collared him and emptied the sack on the ground. Out tumbled a silver tea set, a Picasso miniature, and Mrs. Klopfer’s sable coat. “Golly, I’m sorry,†apologized, Mullooney. “I thought you was stealing ap…

After he became Britain’s prime minister in 1940 Sir Winston Churchill, with a view to conserving manpower, ordered film studies to be made of all military operations. Examining films of a typical firing of an artillery piece, Churchill noticed that of the six-man crew assisting in the operation one man merely stood at attention. Inquiry showed the sixth man was there to hold the reins of the horses. Yet artillery pieces had not been horse-drawn since the early days of World War I. * * *

Three contractors are bidding to fix the White House fence. One from New Jersey, another from Tennessee and the third, Florida. They go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says. "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

THE BOTTLE OF WINE For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren't married, this is something to smile about the next time you see a bottle of wine: Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she sa…

An elderly couple, Ray and Bessie, are "snowbirds" in Texas. Ray always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots. Seeing some on sale one day, he buys them, wears them home, walking proudly. He walks into the house and says to his wife: "Notice anything different about me?" Bessie looks him over and says, "Nope." Frustrated, Ray storms off into the bathroom; undresses and walks back into the room completely naked except for the boots. Again, he asks, a little louder this time, "Notice anything DIFFERENT NOW?" Bessie looks up and says, "Ray, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow." …

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think. You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway. I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans! I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.' I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age and call it 'Pumping Ru…

The sergeant was drilling a company of new recruits. They had done everything wrong or out of step, so the sergeant sarcastically yelled, “all right, all right, let’s see if you know your right foot from your left. Raise your right leg and hold it in front of you.†One tired recruit got mixed up and raised his left leg. Looking down the line and seeing two opposite shoes together, the sergeant said, “all right, who is the wise guy who raised both feet?†* * *

This guy needs a job and decides to apply at the zoo. As it happened, their star attraction, a gorilla, had passed away the night before and they had carefully preserved his hide. They tell this guy that they'll pay him well if he would dress up in the gorillas skin and pretend to be the gorilla so people will keep coming to the zoo. Well, the guy has his doubts, but Hey! He needs the money, so he puts on the skin and goes out into the cage. The people all cheer to see him. He plays up to the audience and they just eat it up. This isn't so bad, he thinks, and he starts really putting on a show, jumping around, beating his chest and roaring, swinging around. During one acr…
