Day: August 2, 2017

When a friend of mine was expecting her first baby, she was given a test that would reveal the child’s sex. The doctor asked if she wanted to be called with the news. “Just mail it,” she said. “My husband and I want to share this moment together.” When an envelope from the doctor arrived a few days later, the couple made a special evening of it and dined at their favorite restaurant. Finally, they sat down together at home and opened the letter. It was the doctor’s bill.

I get no respect. My direct mail letter says, “You may already be a loser.”

@ A father was berating his son who was reluctant to do his homework. “When Abraham Lincoln was your age”, the father lectured,  “He would  walk 10 miles to school every day and then studied by the light of the fire in his log cabin”. “So what”, the boy rejoined. “When John Kennedy was your age, he was president.”
