After his stay in the hospital, Gus was especially hungry regarding food.

At a nearby restaurant he stopped for a quick meal and the waiter provided a bowl of soup.

As the waiter turned away to return to the kitchen Gus stopped him, calling: "Waiter!"

"Yes ,sir, is there something wrong?"


"The soup. Taste it," replied Gus.

"I beg your pardon, Sir?"

"Taste it."

"But, Sir, I can assure you that the soup is excellent."

"Taste it," Gus persisted.


"Sir, the soup was made this morning of the finest ingredients."

"Taste it!

"The exasperated waiter finally relented. "All right, Sir, I'll taste it."

Then after a pause he said, "Where is the spoon?"

To which Gus replied triumphantly, "Ah ha ... "





Appropriate Length.....

Student: "How long do you want this report to be?"

A young boy ran up to his teacher with tears in his eyes.

The teacher asked, "What's wrong, dear?"


The boy said, "I just found out I'll be in school until I'm eighteen.

"The teacher said, "That's nothing. I have to stay here until I'm sixty-five."

"A lot has been said about politics; some of it complimentary, but most of it accurate."




One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new grandbaby around the finger of a grandfather.





Has it occurred to anyone that college-educated women over the age of thirty-five may be unmarried because they're smart?

Lane................


















Every mother generally hopes that her daughter will snag a better husband than she managed to, but she's certain that her boy will never get as great a wife as his father did."










I always wondered why babies spend so much time sucking their thumbs.
Then I tasted baby food.









I played lead guitar in a popular weekend bar band for years.
One night there was magic in the air: We could do no wrong.
The dance floor was full, and my solo was the best I'd done in a long while.
At its end, the singer said, "Let's give Gus a special round of applause.
That's the first time he's ever played that piece."
My chest swelled with pride, until he added, "Properly, that is."

Larry Flynt announced he’s making a porn movie with a Sarah Palin look-alike.

John McCain called the idea offensive;

Barack Obama called it inappropriate,

and Bill Clinton said he’ll reserve judgment until he sees the film.





~~The big question is, With Sarah Palin yammering it up with Joe Biden in Saint Louis, who’s keeping an eye on the Russians?





Two old women were sitting on the park bench talking, when one asked the other, "How's your husband holding up in bed these days?"

second old lady replied, "He makes me feel like an exercise bike."

"How's that

He climbs on and starts pumping away but we never get anywhere!"






You can't wrap love in a box, but you can wrap a person in a hug.





When I arrived at my mother's apartment complex, I was greeted by the disconcerting sight of a fire truck parked outside.

There was no sign of smoke, and the firefighters didn't seem worried. Still, I asked one, "Is it safe to go inside?

I'm a little wary of entering a building when the fire trucks' lights are on."

"Don't worry about it," he said.

"We do it all the time."





We took our children to a restaurant named the Captain's Table.

Our youngest went to the bathroom but soon returned, confused and embarrassed.

"Could't you find the way?" I asked him.

"Oh I found it," he replied, legs crossed.

"But I don't know if I'm a buccaneer or a wench."





One morning, as I went to the freezer door, I asked my wife, "What should I take out for dinner?"


Without a moment's hesitation, she replied, 'Me'





Grandchildren don't stay young forever, which is good because grandpas have only so many horsey rides in them.

We took the family to one of those restaurants where the walls are plastered with movie memorabilia.

I went off to see the hostess about reserving a table.

When I returned, I found my 10- year-old granddaughter staring at a poster of Superman standing in a phone booth.

She looked puzzled.

"She doesn't know who Superman is?" I asked mywife.


"Worse," she replied. "She doesn't know what a phone booth is."





Out bicycling one day with my nine-year-old granddaughter, Amanda, I got a little wistful.

"In ten years," I said, "you'll want to be with your friends and you won't go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now."


Amanda shrugged.

"In ten years you'll be too old to do all those things anyway."





A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.

"But officer," the man said, "I can explain."

"Just be quiet!!!" snapped the officer. "...or I'm going to let you cool off in jail until the chief gets back."

"But officer, I just wanted to say...."

"And I said KEEP QUIET!

You're going to jail!"

A few hours later, the officer checked up on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief's at his daughter's wedding.

He'll be in a good mood when he gets back."

"Don't count on it," said the man in the cell,"I'm the groom!"





"It's a good thing that when God created the rainbow he didn't consult a decorator or he would still be picking colors."

I was shopping in a pet store when I overheard a woman singing the praises of a particular water bowl to her husband.


"Look, it even has a water filter!" she concluded, holding the doggie dish out for her husband's inspection.


He had a slightly different take on things: "Dear, he drinks out of the toilet."





"Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for,

because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything."





Ponder this;

America has much more food to eat than any other nation, and more types of diets to keep up from eating it.






After decades of eliminating wolves from our land, the current concern is recovering them.






"Vampires have their stakes and werewolves have their silver bullets, but there is nothing man has yet devised that can kill a government program."

"Bittersweet October...The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter."




It began as an innocent game with my toddler son, Robert.

I'd get in the fighter's stance and start shadowboxing.

Jabbing with both fists, I'd say, "One-two, one-two," and he would imitate me over and over.


I never thought about the consequences of this little exercise until my wife took our son to a birthday party.

When the boy's mother was handing out noisemakers she leaned over to Robert and asked, "Would you like one too?"


It took my wife a while to explain her way out of what happened next.




My friend Cindy was walking up Third Avenue in Manhattan thinking about her impending wedding.

Strung across the street in midtown was a large protest banner.

When she arrived home, she said to her fiancĂ©, “There is a giant sign across Third Avenue that says, ‘Free China,’ but they don’t tell you where to get it."




Early one Saturday morning, the flashing lights of a police car appeared in my rearview mirror.

After checking my license and registration, the officer asked, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "No, I responded.


"One of your taillights is out." he said. "I'm going to have to issue a warning.


"Whew," I said, without thinking. "I thought it was because my inspection had expired."

Good Morning.....Everyone!.............................








Oh..Oh...a little jealousy...showing up.....








I'ze can curl up anywere.....




I'ze a frog.....




I'ze sad.......Were's Mom?.........








We've been watchin and we haven't seen her.....








She was teaching four little kids how to play Go Fish, and the luck of the draw just wasn't with little Jimmy.

After losing the third game in a row the red-faced boy protested, "I don't like this game, it's not fair!"

She tried to explain that he should learn how to be a good loser.

He retorted, "You're the teacher, when are you going to teach me to win!"




Another Criterion for Teacher Certification:

Police in Fort Myers, Fla., were called to Royal Palm Exceptional School in April and wound up arresting an 8-year-old boy named Deshawn for punching his female teacher in the face, leaving several bruises.

Said Deshawn's grandmother, Dorothy Williams, when interviewed by WBBH-TV, "He gets very upset, and he loves to hit," but "If he was overpowering her that much, I feel like she shouldn't be in that line of work."




A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies.

As they stand at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter Paradise and meet their maker, God decides to grant each person one wish because of the grief they have experienced.


They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is.

"I want to be gorgeous," and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done.


The second one in line hears this and says "I want to be gorgeous too" Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted.


This goes on for a while with each one asking to be gorgeous, but when God is halfway down the line, the last guy in the line starts laughing.


When there are only ten people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing his head off.


Finally, God reaches this last guy and asks him what his wish will be.

The guy eventually calms down and says:
"Make 'em all ugly again."


NEXT TIME YOU'RE LAST IN LINE, BE HAPPY
