* On a fishing trip in Maine, my companions and I parked in front of the small general store in the town. After having some lunch, we came out to find a policeman placing a parking ticket on our windshield.  “You parked are in a No Parking zone”, the policeman said.    “We didn’t see the sign”, someone protested. “No you didn’t” replied the officer. “It is out being repainted, but everyone knows this is a No Parking Zone”.

@ For the first time in many years, a friend of ours traveled to our rural town  to attend a movie. After buying his ticket he stopped at the concession stand to purchase some popcorn. handing the attendant of  $4.50, my friend couldn’t help but comment comment the last time I came to the movie, popcorn was only 15 cents”.    “Well, sir”, the clerk replied,   “you are really going to enjoy yourself today we have sound now.”

# An American Indian from a reservation in Arizona was visiting Washington, DC. While wandering around the town, was stopped by and local who asked, “How do you like our town”?  “It is all right”, said the Indian. “How do you like our country”
