An ignorant but well-meaning tourist was visiting a small native village when he came across a native man proudly displaying twenty alligator teeth slung about his neck in a decorative fashion. “I guess you must prize alligator teeth the way we value pearls,” said the tourist. “More so,” said the native. “Anyone can open up an oyster.”

My sister was having a dinner party. For the meal she made a big pot of spaghetti sauce and simmered it for hours the day before. The next day she remembered at work that she had not put the pot of sauce in the refrigerator and was worried about spoilage. When she got home she called the poison control number and asked them what she should do. They told her as long as she boiled the sauce before she served it, it should be all right. That night, during the meal, the phone rang and one of the guests answered it. My sister’s face fell open as the guest called out, “It is the poison control center and they want to know how the spaghetti sauce turned out.”

@ Three economists went hunting and came across a large deer: The first economist fired but missed by a meter to the left. The second fired but missed by a meter to the right. The third economist didn’t fire at all but shouted in triumph, “We got it, we got it!”
