July 24 Humor

* When I was a college junior, my roommate and I climbed Mount Whitney. It took three days to get to the top and back, and we returned home completely exhausted. Visiting my parents soon after the grueling hike, I walked into our living room, where they were conversing with the neighbor. I told them every detail of my treck: how high the mountain was, how steep the trail and how we fought fatigue and altitude sickness all the way. “I know how difficult it is,” our neighbor said, “I took my Brownie troop there last year.”

@ Mark Twain was famous for debating people. He got into a debate with a Mormon about polygamy. The Morman asked Twain, “Can you tell me one verse of the bible that says polygamy is forbidden?” Twain sucked up a deep breath and said, “Sure, it says in there somewhere, No man can serve two masters.”

* A woman at a restaurant in Spotsylvania County, Virginia saw two apparently able-bodied young men park in a handicapped spot. When she asked them to to please move, they cursed her. They had parked there as a getaway for their accomplice  who was robbing the restaurant. The woman provided the police with a description of the car and the license plate number.
