Toys for…..?
The story is told of a father of five children who came home with a toy. He summoned his children and asked which of them should be given the present. Who is the most obedient one here? Who never talks back to Mom and does everything that Mom says to do, he inquired? There were a few seconds of silence, and then all of the children said in one accord: You play with it Daddy!
Job Title Fun
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn’t it follow that….electricians could be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, and dry cleaners depressed? Wouldn’t you expect laundry workers to decrease, eventually becoming depressed and depleted? Likewise, bedmakers might be debunked, baseball players debased, bulldozer operators degraded, organ donors delivered, software engineers detested, and underwear manufacturers debriefed. And won’t all composers one day decompose? On a more positive note, perhaps we can hope politicians will someday be devoted.
Did Adam and Eve ever have a date? No, but they had an apple.
Horse Sense
It was a disastrous year for the farmers. The snow fell and fell until the government relief agency had to step in and lend a hand. It must have been terrible, said the government man to a farmer. All that snow. Could have been worse, calmly answered the farmer. My neighbor had more snow than me. How’s that? asked the government man. More land, replied the farmer.

Furniture Disease
Max went into the doctor’s office for his annual checkup, and the Doc asked if there was anything unusual he should know about. So Max told the Doc that his suit must have shrunk over the last year, because it didn’t fit when he went to get ready for a wedding recently. The Doc said, “Suits don’t shrink just sitting in a closet. You probably put on a few pounds.” “That’s just it, Doc, I know I haven’t gained a single pound since the last time I wore it.” “Well, then,” said Doc, “You must have a case of Furniture Disease.” “What in the world is Furniture Disease?” asked Max.
“That’s when your chest starts sliding down into your drawers.”
Advice is like castor oil – easy enough to give, but dreadfully uneasy to take.
