Two hillbillies approach each other on a country road. One is carrying
ReplyDeletea sack over his shoulder. "Hey, Billy Bob," calls out to the other,
"What you got in that sack?"
"Some chickens."
"If I guess how many chickens you got, will you give me one of them?"
"Heck, Joe Bob, if you guess how many chickens I got in the sack, I'll
give you *both* of them."
"Okay. Er... Five?"
Mrs. Johnson was annoyed at her neighbor Jeff because he wouldn't keep his chickens in a fenced-in area on his property. All Jeff talked about was how great the creatures were, and how he felt they had the right to wander where ever they wanted. Because of his attitude, the chickens were constantly in Mrs. Johnson's garden, pecking at her flowers and veggies.
ReplyDeleteTwo weeks passed and Mrs. Johnson's other neighbor Tim mentioned that he noticed her veggies were starting to grow and her flowers added a lovely color to the garden. He also wondered what she had done to keep Jeff's chickens off her property.
Mrs. Johnson revealed her secret. "One night I hid some eggs among the vegetable and flower plants. The next day I made sure
Jeff saw me gather the eggs. After that, I was no longer bothered with the wandering chickens in my garden.
Chicken Little
ReplyDeleteOne day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"
The teacher paused, then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?"
One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy Smoke! A talking chicken!'"
MAMA'S GIFTS
ReplyDeleteFour brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who lived far away in another city.
The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."
The second said, "I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the house."
The third said "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."
The fourth said, "You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it."
The other brothers were impressed. After the holidays Mom sent out her thank you notes.
"She wrote: "Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."
"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks."
"Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same."
"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you."

This guy sees a sign in front of a house, "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the back yard. The guy goes into the back yard and sees a mutt sitting there. "You talk?" he asks.
ReplyDelete"Yep," the mutt replies.
"So, what's your story?" The mutt looks up and says "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leader, cause no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running. The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.
The owner says "Ten dollars."
The guy says he'll buy him but asks the owner, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him?"
The owner replies, "Because he's such a liar.
