October 18 Humor

My daughter was having a dinner party and I volunteered to help her. My job was to clean out the freezer and make room for the food. I restacked and shuffled and somewhere in the bottom I found a plastic container that looked like it had a hotdog, sauerkraut, noodle casserole in cream sauce. It looked pretty bad and set aside to throw out. When my daughter came into the kitchen she asked why the casserole was out thawing. I told her it looked pretty old and grungy and I was going to toss it. She stopped me saying, “You can’t throw that away. Every time John comes home and sees that thing defrosting he thinks of a restaurant we have to go to.”  

*  When he was on spring break in Cancun. A University of Alabama football player met an attractive female student from an ivory league school at one of the  noisy get acquainted parties. “Where do y’all go to school?”  the Alabama athlete drawled. “Yale,” she replied. The football player to a deep breath and shouted, “Where do yall go to school.”

My husband, a state trooper, stopped a motorist for speeding. Instead of signing the ticket and continuing on his way, the driver, who said he knew he had been going over the posted limit, insisted on having a court hearing. The appointed day, Fred and the man appeared before the District Magistrate. Found guilty, the motorist happily paid his fine. Outside the courtroom, my husband asked him why he had bothered going to court. “I came to this country from Serbia a few years ago,”  the man explained. “I never had the freedom to ask for a hearing. Now I do.”
