~~~ A friend of mine, a policeman, responded to an accident call one day.
When he arrived, he noticed an emergency medical technician (EMT) trying to apply a spine board to a man standing near one of the cars involved in the accident.
The patient appeared to be resisting.
"Really," he objected, "I.."
The EMT interjected, explaining that because of regulations, he had to take necessary precautions.
"No, I'm okay, really, I am."
Again the EMT cut him off, explaining the rules he had to follow.
By then, my friend had reached them and recognizing the patient, asked, "Are you sure you're okay?
The accident looks pretty nasty.""
I reported the accident, I wasn't in it" the poor guy was finally able to explain.

~~~ At Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, a man in civilian clothes approached an airman and requested a vehicle pass.
The young airman, fresh out of technical training, asked to see his military ID, driver's license and his vehicle registration.
Noticing the letters BG on the man's identification, the new airman asked, "What's BG stand for -- Big Guy?"
"No," the man replied, leaning over the counter.
"Try Brigadier General."

.
~~~ Most people would be angry if their company was bought and the new owners replaced them with their own people.
Not our friend Flex.
"You know how it goes," he said, waxing philosophical.
"Every circus brings its own clowns."

.
~~~ A weed is simply a plant that wants to grow where people want something else.
By blaming nature, people mistake the culprit.
Weeds are people's idea, not nature's.

.
~~~ Middle age is when the words "Happy" and "Birthday" seem to go their separate ways.

.
~~~ When my friend got a job, her husband agreed to share the housework.
He was stunned by the amount of effort involved in keeping a house clean with small boys to pick up after, and insisted that he and his wife shop for a new vacuum cleaner.
The salesman gave them a demonstration of the latest model.
"It comes equipped with all the newest features," he assured them.
The husband was not convinced.
"Don't you have a riding one?" he asked.

.
~~~ The summer after college graduation, I was living at home, fishing in the daytime, spending nights with my friends, generally just hanging out.
One afternoon my grandfather, who never went to college, stopped by.
Concerned with how I was spending my time, he asked about my future plans.
I told him I was in no hurry to tie myself down to a career.
"Well," he replied, "you better start thinking about it.
You'll be thirty before you know it."
"But I'm closer to twenty than to thirty," I protested.
"I won't be thirty for eight more years."
"I see," he said, smiling."And when will you be twenty again?"

.
~~~ I spent an afternoon helping my friend move into a new home.
In one carton I found a crockpot, with an odd-looking and very dirty metal lid.
Later I ushered my friend into the kitchen and asked why he hadn't mentioned this perfectly good pot.
He stared at it, then replied, "Well, after I broke the lid I never thought of replacing it with a hubcap."

.
~~~ Two convicts are working on a chain gang.
"I heard the warden's daughter up and married a guy down on cellblock D," the first con says to the other.
"The warden's mighty upset about it too......."
"Why" asks the second prisoner."
Because she married a con?"
"No. Because they eloped."

.
~~~ I was a brand-new attorney in practice alone, and I had a likewise inexperienced secretary fresh out of high school.
The importance of proofreading the results of my dictation was highlighted one day when a reminder to a client's tenant to pay her rent or suffer eviction was transcribed as follows: "You are hereby notified that if payment is not received within five business days, I will have no choice but to commence execution proceedings."

.
~~~ The first Sunday after my husband and I bought a new car, we parked it in the last row of the church lot, not wanting to be ostentatious.
While talking with friends, my husband, Byron, accidentally hit the panic button on his electronic key.
Immediately our car's horn blared and its lights flashed.
Watching Byron fumble with the button, his friend teased, "Wouldn't it have been in better taste to put a few lines in the church bulletin?"

Todays Thought: It often shows a fine command of the language, to say nothing.
