Animal Sounds

A group of young children were sitting in a circle with their teacher. She was going around in turn asking them all questions. 


"Davey, what sound does a cow make?" 
Davey replied, "It goes 'moo'." 

"Alice, what sound does a cat make?"
Alice said, "It goes 'meow'." 

"Jamie, what sound does a lamb make?"
Jamie said, "It goes 'baaa'." 

"Jennifer, what sound does a mouse make?"
Jennifer paused, and said, "Uhh... it goes... 'click'!"

Cheap Mistress

There was once a wife so jealous that when her husband came home one night and she couldn't find hairs on his jackets she yelled at him, "Great, so now you're cheating on me with a bald woman!" 


The next night, when she didn't smell any perfume, she yelled again by saying, "She's not only bald, but she's too cheap to buy any perfume!"

Free What?

I ran into an old buddy the other day. He was a rising entrepreneur, but now he looked down and out. What gives? He begins wailing his tale. 


"I had a restaurant out there on the interstate, you know. Spent a fortune on a new high-rise sign to attract traffic. It did, too. It read 'free cocktail with dinner!' The 'cocktail' was flashing red neon. Was it impressive!" 

"Sounds like a good idea. So what went wrong?" 

"Oh, the county took notice, inspection crews come out, I'm harassed all the time by the Planning department, the churches in the neighborhood have filed compaints-" 

"Hey, I thought you ran a stand-up operation out there." 

"I did. Half my flashing red neon burned out!" 

"Oh, I see..." I thought a minute. "Which half?" 

"Don't make no difference!" he wailed.

Presidential Visit

The President is visiting an elementary school today and he visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. 


The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word, "tragedy." So the president asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." 

One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy." 

"No" says the President, "that would be an accident." 

A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy." 

"I'm afraid not" explains the President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. The President searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" 

Finally, way in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying you and the First Lady, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, that would be a tragedy. 

"Correct" exclaims the President, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" 

"Well," Lil' Johnny said, "because, like you just told us, it wouldn't be an accident, and it sure as heck wouldn't be a great loss."
