October 24 Humor

* For the first few months over co-op job for the state of Georgia, my sister had nothing to do, so she surfed the web or did crossword puzzles. One day she expressed her boredom to a coworker. I know he complained. “Everyone thinks that workers have it easy. But there’s only so much you can pretend you’re doing.”

A father talked to his children that were constantly complaining about not having enough money or big enough allowances. The father was getting tired of the grumbling and explained, “You guys do not know how good you have it. When I was your age I got up before daylight and delivered papers. I walked to school rain or snow and then delivered groceries after school to make money. Even with all of that, sometimes we did not have enough to eat.”  The chastened children sat silently and he thought he had made his point until he youngest boy piped up, “I bet you’re glad you live with us now, eh?”

Shortly after the birth of our second child, my husband  offered to take me shopping for new dress. He endured more than two hours of listening to my complaints about which figure flaws should accentuate that emerge from the dressing room, having tried on the last selection I asked for my husband’s opinion. By this time, he had learned just the right things to say. “It is perfectly fine, It makes your own waist look small and legs look long and slender.”  Just then a voice from the dressing room piped up. “If there are dresses here that will do that, I will take them all.”
