~~~ Leaving a funeral, my 13-year-old son dropped a heavy question on me:
"What will happen to us if you and Dad die?"
My young daughter knew: "We'd go in the limo."

.
~~~ My friend, Pete, an insurance broker, loves ocean fishing and takes his cellphone along on the boat.
One morning we were drifting several kilometers offshore as Pete discussed business on the phone.
Suddenly his rod bent double, and the reel screamed as line poured off the spool.
Pete was master of the situation. "Pardon me," he told his customer calmly.
"I have a call on another line."

~~~ A gossip is a generous individual that you can always count upon if you want to be given the benefit of the dirt.

.
~~~ One sultry afternoon, the sun worshipers at a local swimming pool were busy watching a nine-year-old boy and his ten-year-old sister fight over a toy.
"Sibling rivalry?" asked one would-be- psychologist.
"No," replied their mother...... "Sible war!"

.
~~~ Marlene, my cousin, was telling me about an evening service at the church we've both attended for years.
She and her husband usually sat in the back, but this time they moved up front to be sure to hear the Scripture reading.
They sat beside a long-time church member who cheerfully said, "Good to have ya with us! Where y'all from?"
Taken by surprise, Marlene mumbled, "The back."

.
~~~ Sidewalks were treacherous after a heavy snowstorm blanketed UVA in C-ville.
Watching people slip and slide, I gingerly made my way to class.
Suddenly I found myself on a clean, snow-free section ofwalkway.
This is weird, I thought, until I noticed that it was directly in front of the Faculty of Law building.

.
~~~ A Marine husband called home to tell his wife he would be late.
He said dirty magazines had been discovered in the platoon's quarters and they had to discipline the whole squad.
She launched into a tirade, arguing that many men had pictures hanging in their quarters at their previous post, so his new platoon should not be penalized for something so trivial.
The husband calmly listened to her gripes and then explained, "Dirty magazines:
The clips from their rifles had not been cleaned."

.
~~~ The elevator in our building malfunctioned one day, leaving several of us stranded.
Seeing a sign that listed two emergency phone numbers, I dialed the first and explained our situation.
After what seemed to be a very long silence, the voice on the other end said, "I don't know what you expect me to do for you; I'm a psychologist."
"A psychologist?" I replied.
"Your phone is listed here as an emergency number.
Can't you help us?"
"Well," he finally responded in a measured tone.
"How do you feel about being stuck in an elevator?"

.
~~~ Customer-service reps repeat the same tired phrases so often that we can do the job in our sleep.
We hear a beep telling us a customer's on the line, and we're on.
I never knew how this humdrum routine affected us until a co-worker had heart surgery.
She was coming to, following her operation, when she heard thebeep of the heart monitor.
In her anesthetized stupor, she groggily said, "This is Sue...... Can I help you?"

.
~~~ My friend's husband is always telling her that housekeeping would be a snap if only she would organize her time better.
Recently he had a chance to put his theory into practice while his wife was away.
When I popped in one evening to see how he was managing, he crowed, "I made a cake, frosted it, washed the kitchen windows, cleaned all the cupboards, scrubbed the kitchen floor, walls and ceiling and even had a bath."
I was about to concede that perhaps he was a better manager than his wife, when he added sheepishly, "When I was making the chocolate frosting, I forgot to turn off the mixer before taking the beaters out of the bowl, so I had to do all the rest."
