We were taking six children on a camping trip. I drove
the lead car with our gear, and my husband followed in the station wagon. At a
tollbooth, I realized that we hadn't divided the cash supply, and my husband
didn't have any money. I paid a double toll, explaining to the woman attendant,
"I'm paying for the car behind me. He has all those children and no
money."
Without cracking a smile, she replied, "Good! Keep
him that way, Honey!"

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year,
Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came
to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more
than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that
followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after,
headlines in the English newspapers read: "English archaeologists have
found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their
ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years
earlier than the Scots."
One week later, "The Kerryman," a southwest
Irish newsletter, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30
meters in peat bog near Tralee, self-taught archaeologist Paddy O'Droll
reported that he found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that
300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless."

Okay, it's official. I'm getting old.
The other day I was walking back to my car from the
grocery store. Coming into the store was this smoking hot 19, maybe 20 year old
blonde. Boy, was she gorgeous!"
My thought?
"I wonder what her mother looks like."
