August 10 Humor

* As a museum tour guide I took a group of elementary children through the museum and they came upon the skeleton of a dinosaur. The guide explained how big the dinosaur was and how it ate and lived and then said the dinosaur way “extinct.”  “That means it died a many, many years ago.”  A little girl  looked up at me with big eyes and asked, “Were you sad when it happened?”

@ Supreme court justice Frankfruter was asked by one his friends to officiate at their daughters wedding. He declined saying that he was not authorized to perform weddings. The host incredulously asked, “A Supreme court justice and you can’t perform a wedding. Why is that?”  He answered , “I guess they do not consider that a federal offense.”

* While traveling in London, my daughter and I visited the Tower of London museum, with the exhibits are in chronological order. As we were passing through the section of mid-evil armor, we heard the following announcement over the public address system. “Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, but we have a little American boy lost in the 18th century.”
