Brotherly Love
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five- and six-year-olds.

Ice Fishing 101
A guy goes ice fishing. He finds a good spot on the lake, near some other ice fishermen (to be sociable) but not close enough to be annoying. He sets up his gear, cuts a hole in the ice, and drops his line into the water. After a few hours he hasn’t gotten a single bite, yet he notices that a kid nearby has caught dozens of fish. He walks over to the kid and asks: “Hey, what’s your secret?” The kid says: “Mmu motta meep ba mmrms mmrm.” The guy asks: “What did you say?” The kid answers: “Mmu motta meep ba mmrms mmrm.” The guy again asks: “What??”
The kid spits into his hand and says, “You gotta keep the worms warm!”

Don’t Mess with Seniors
A woman was getting swamped with calls from strangers. The reason? A billing service had launched a number that was identical to hers. When she called to complain, she was told to get a new number. I’ve had mine for twenty years, she pleaded. Couldn’t you change yours? The company refused, so she said, Fine. From now on, I’m going to tell everyone who calls that their bill is paid in full. The company got a new number the next day. Don’t mess with seniors!
Proudly Serving the Nation
