* Minister: “I’m sorry I didn’t see you at church yesterday, Fergus.”  Fergus: “Well you see the weather was so bad it was not fit to turn out a dog. but I sent my wife, sir.”

# The lady was trying to impress those at the party. “My family is ancestry is very old”, she said. “It dates back to the days of King John of England”. then returning to a lady sitting quietly in a corner she asked condescendingly: “how old is your family, my dear?”  “Well, said the woman with a quiet smile, “I can’t really say. All her family records were lost in the flood.”

# While staying on an old English farm, he was discussing with the owners large stone step leading into the kitchen. Over the years, the stone to become dished, the rain formed a puddle there. Understandably, the owners wanted to retain the historic entrance, so I suggested we take the stone out turn it over and use the bottom for the top. After much heaving and straining, we discovered that the farmer’s grandfather had done exactly the same thing half a century earlier.
