~~ Our 17-year-old daughter, has finally shown some interest in cooking.
Recently, while we were watching TV, she was baking some french fries and asked me to pause the show.
In less than a minute, she came back to the den.
"What was that about?" I asked.
She said that the instructions told her to turn the fries
halfway through cooking.
I remarked that she was pretty fast in flipping all those fries.
"Is that what it meant?" she replied.
"I just turned the pan around."

~~ Every effort must be made in childhood to teach the
young to use their own minds.
For one thing is sure: If they don't make up their own minds,
someone will do it for them.

~~ Taxiing down the tarmac, the 747 abruptly stopped,
turned around and returned to the gate.
After a two hour delay, it finally took off.
Barry, a worried passenger asked the steward,
'What was the problem?'
'The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine',
explained the flight attendant,
'and it took us a while to find a new pilot.'

~~ When the graveside service had no more than terminated,
There was a tremendous burst of thunder accompanied by a
distant lightning bolt and more rumbling thunder.
The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said,
"Well, she's there."

~~ As a newspaper photographer, I often spoke to groups
about my job.
After a presentation at a local primary school,
I received a note from one of the students:
"Thank you for telling us about your job.
I really like the photo with the burning house.
I wonder what it would be like to be a fireman?"

~~ At the dinner table, Lauren's six-year-old son Vincent
asked, "Are there still kings and queens in the world?"

~~ "My parents, my whole life, combined my birthday with
Christmas," Rita Rudner once recalled, "and you know how
frustrating that is for a child...especially 'cause I was born in
July!"

~~ My mother-in-law did not like venison,
a dislike she made extremely clear to me.
One day she dropped in, so I served her what we had in the
house, which was little individual meat loaves wrapped
around hard boiled eggs and covered with cheese sauce.
She absolutely adored them and insisted that I give her the
recipe.
After telling her twice that she really didn't want it,
I finally gave in.
Just after she put her third helping on her plate,
I began the recipe. "Take three pound of ground deer meat . . . "
She put her third helping back on the serving platter.

~~ W. C. Fields always kept a martini-filled thermos on hand
while he was filming.
When pressed for an explanation, he invariably maintained
that the flask contained nothing but pineapple juice.
One day, shortly after a colleague had put his claim to the test,
Fields's angst-ridden cry rang out across the set:
"Somebody put pineapple juice," he cried,
"in my pineapple juice!"
"What contemptible scoundrel," Fields asked on another
occasion, "has stolen the cork to my lunch?"

~~ On a crowded bus, Gus noticed that Pete had his eyes
closed.
"What's the matter? Are you sick?" he asked.
"No, I'm okay........
It's just that I hate to see old ladies standing."
