Everyone will hate you.

If you give your child a break, at the plate, the other team, parents of the other team, and the other coach will all hate you.

She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker.

Now I can't get into my car.

Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenient store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno.

Do you have an alarm too?" I asked.

"No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me.

As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries it's a long walk."

"What are you doing by the surgical instruments?" asked the surprised dentist.
Focused on his task, the patient replied, "I'm taking out the ones I don't like."

They tie the noose around the second cowboy's neck.

He, too, slips out of the rope, drops into the river, and gets away.

It's the third rustler's turn.

He looks at the mob and says, "Could y'all do me a favor?

Tighten that noose a bit, I can't swin."

~~~ A crumbling old church building needed remodeling, so, during his sermon, the preacher made an impassioned appeal looking directly at the richest man in town.

At the end of the sermon, the rich man stood up and announced, "Pastor, I will contribute $1,000."
Just then, plaster fell from the ceiling and struck the rich man on the shoulder.
He promptly stood back up and shouted, "Pastor, I will increase my donation to $5,000."
Before he could sit back down, plaster fell on him again, and again he virtually screamed, "Pastor, I will double my last pledge."

He sat down, and a larger chunk of plaster fell on his head.
He stood up once more and hollered, "Pastor, I will give $20,000!"
This prompted a deacon to shout, "Hit him again, Lord! .....Hit him again!"

"Why do you think it was taken here?"

"After the operation, my wig was gone.

The wig I was wearing was gone, in its place was this cheap-looking and ugly one."

"I think," explained the surgeon gently, "That means your cataract operation was a success."
