Little Johnny and his father ran a one-mule farm and
barely eked out a living.
One day, Little Johnny hit the lottery, winning $50,000.
He burned rubber into town, collected his money, and burned more rubber all the
way back home, where he told his father the good news and handed him a $50
bill.
The father looked at the money for a moment and then
said, "Little Johnny, you know I've always been careful with what little
money we had. I didn't spend it on whiskey or women or frivolous things. In
fact, I couldn't even afford a license to legally marry your Ma."
"Pa!" Little Johnny exclaimed, "do you
know what that makes me?"
"Sure do," said the father, fingering the
fifty-dollar bill, "and a cheap one too!"

The waitress comes over and recognizes the family seated
at the table - Mr & Mrs Smith and their little son. Jonathan.
She says, "Jonathan, what would you like?"
He says, "I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich."
She says, "Jonathan, I'm sorry, we don't serve
grilled cheese sandwiches."
He says, "You have a grill, don't you?"
She says, "Yes."
He says, "You have cheese, don't you?"
She says, "Yes."
He says, "You have bread, don't you?"
She says, "Yes."
He says, "Well, I'll have a grilled cheese
sandwich."
*This kid is three years old!!*
The waitress says, "Jonathan, I'll go see if the
chef will fix you a grilled cheese sandwich."
She comes back in a little while and says, "Okay,
Jonathan, the chef agreed to fix you a grilled cheese sandwich. I forgot to ask
you, though, what you want to drink."
He says, "I'll have a milkshake."
She says, "Jonathan, your parents have probably
already told you we don't serve milkshakes." She was ready for
him this time. She says, "Now, it is true we have milk. And it is true we
have ice cream. But we don't have the syrup."
He says, "You have a car, don't you?"
