December 13th Humor

As we walked around the amusement park, we stopped to watch the caricature artist work. A fiftyish woman commented when the young man said he charged $25 for a portrait, “Twenty five dollars just to have someone draw my wrinkles.” The young man turned and studied her face for a moment, then replied, “I don’t see any wrinkles.” She immediately sat down and had her $25 portrait drawn.

# In New York, a 21-year-old prison inmate is suing the state for $5 million for an injury that occurred while he was playing basketball. Isn’t this backward, don’t you have to start in the NBA and then go to jail?

* Visiting Washington DC we went to the mint. We saw how money is made and counted and sorted. We were especially impressed to see skids of dollar bills laying all around the place. After the tour we stopped into the gift shop and made a purchase. I paid the clerk with two twenties, she fumbled around the money drawer and asked, “Can I give you quarters as change? We are all out of dollar bills.”
