December 24 Humor

* As a mother with small children I treasured every chance I could get to get out of the house on my own. Whether rain, sleet, or snow I would go when ever my husband or babysitter would allow me. During a blizzard one time I made my way to the department store and to get a few things and just walk around. I realized how desperate I had been to get out of the house when the PA squawked the announcement: “Shopper you left your lights on.”

* An old lady went to a window at the bus station and asked,  “How much is ticket to Cleveland?” The agent replied, $22.50. The old lady turned to the young girl beside her and said, “I guess we may as well buy our tickets here. All these windows are the same price.”

@ In January 1991, I was being deployed to operation Desert Storm. Before boarding a C-141 transport I had to go through tight security. After a meticulous  x-ray of all my carry-on bags, I removed all metal objects from a uniform was finally able to pass in the metal detector without setting off the alarm. Just out of curiosity, I asked airmen operating a checkpoint, “Why did you make me go through all that?”  “We want to be sure you aren’t carrying any weapons on board,” he said, handing me back my M-16 rifle.
