October 17 Humor

* I was visiting a friend of mine in Los Angeles when we were awakened around 6am by telephone call from her sister-in-law who lives on the East Coast. She was quite worried because she said, “Are you okay? I just heard on the radio that you had an earthquake about eight o’clock this morning.” “No, we didn’t,” my friend replied, “everything is fine here.” There was a short pause and then her sister-in-law said, “Oh, I forgot, we are three hours ahead of you.”

@ The mobster was on trial, facing a possible life sentence. But his lawyer had bribed a juror to hold out for a lesser charge. After hours of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict carrying a maximum of 10 years in prison. Afterward, the lawyer approached the juror. “You had me worried the jury was out so long, I was afraid you couldn’t pull it off.”   “I was worried too,” answered the juror, “all the others wanted to acquit him.”
