News From the Old Country ...
  • Commenting on a complaint from a Mr. Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West Gas said, "We agree it was rather high for the time of year.

  • Mrs. Irene Graham, of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the audience with her reminiscences of the German POW who was sent each week to do her garden.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness ...

... a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"

She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him."

The defense attorney almost died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you to the electric chair."

I was keeping my 3 yr old grandson Tristy..

.... and had to run errands. He was in the back seat in his carseat when I pulled into the drive-in bank. The next thing I heard was his seatbelt unfastening and him jumping up to say...."I'll take vanilla!" Needless to say our next stop was at the ice cream shop.

Jeremy (age 5) had to go with his dad to a financial planning meeting and was warned how quiet he would have to be for the hour they would be there. At the end of the meeting, the presenter commented about how nice and patient Jeremy had been. Then he said..."Jeremy, would you like to have $1 today, or $2 tomorrow?" Jeremy thought for a minute, then said..."I think I'll take my $2 today."

3 yr. old Chey had potty training down now, but would often wait until the last minute. She ran down our hall yelling..."Grandma, Grandma...please turn on the light in the bathroom."  I said, "honey, Papa is in the room right next to the bathroom, have him turn it on." "Papa, Papa, please turn on the light in the bathroom." she said running back down the hall. Papa turns on the light and Chey just stands there looking at him...like, ok, go away. Papa takes the opportunity to tease her about getting in there and taking care of her business right now. Then giggles as he walks down the hall toward me. Chey sticks her head back out the bathroom door and said, "Well, ya don't have to be so crabby."
