* Grandpa still had some habits from the old days. He kept large amounts of money safe in his underwear drawer so that burglars would never find it. One day, I found a secret safe product that looked like a can of spray paint with a screw off false bottom. I gave the can to him so he could keep the money secretly in his workshop. Later, I asked my mother if he had used my gift. She replied, “Oh yes, he put the money in the same day.”  “I said no burglar would think to look on the shelf in the basement.” Mom came back with: “They won’t have to, he keeps the spray can in his underwear drawer.”

@ At a Washington cocktail party two strangers strike up a conversation. After a few minutes of small talk, one asked, “Have you heard the latest White House joke?” The second fellow held up his hand. “Wait, before you begin, I should tell you that I work in the White House.” “Oh don’t worry,” the first man replied, “I’ll tell it very slowly.”

Having passed the enlistment physical, Jon was asked by the doctor, “Why do you want to join the Navy, son?”  “My father said it’d be a good idea, sir.” “Oh? And what does your father do?” “He’s in the Army, sir.”
