An elderly couple toddled into the local McDonalds and
ordered one combo meal. The wife carefully cut the sandwich
in two and began to eat her half. The husband respectfully
sat and watched.
The eating did not progress quickly, and soon the other
customers bagan to notice. Finally one helpful person
offered to buy the couple another meal. The offer was
rejected with the explanation, "We share everything."
Eventually another could stand it no longer and made the
same offer. Same rejection: "No thank you, we share
everything."
After this had gone on for what seemed to be quite a while,
one bystander could no longer stand it and quizzed the man,
"Then why aren't you eating? What are you waiting for?"
The reply: "The teeth."

Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful,
independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as
she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an
unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said, "Elegant
lady, I was once a handsome prince until an evil witch cast
a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn
back into the dapper, young Prince that I am, and then my
sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in yon castle
with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my
clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and
happy doing so."
That night, on a meal of lightly sauteed frogs legs seasoned
in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to
herself and thought, "I don't think so!"

After being nearly snowbound for two weeks last winter, a
Seattle man departed for his vacation to Miami Beach, where
he was to meet his wife the next day at the conclusion of
her business trip. They were looking forward to pleasant
weather and a nice time together.
Unfortunately, there was some sort of mix up at the boarding
gate, and the man was told he would have to wait for a later
flight. He tried to appeal to a supervisor but was told the
airline was not responsible for the
problem and it would do
no good to complain.
Upon arrival at the hotel the next day, he discovered that
Miami Beach was having a heat wave, and its weather was
almost as uncomfortably hot as Seattle's was cold.
The desk clerk gave him a message that his wife would arrive
as planned. He could hardly wait to get to the pool area to
cool off, and quickly sent his wife an e-mail via his
palmtop PC, but due to his haste, he made an error in the
address.
His message therefore arrived at the home of an elderly
preacher's wife whose even older husband had died only the
day before.
When the grieving widow opened her e-mail, she took one look
at the monitor, let out an anguished scream, and fell to the
floor passed out. Her family rushed to her room where they
saw this message on the screen:
Honey, departed yesterday as you know.
Just now got checked in.
Some confusion at the gate.
Appeal was denied.
Received confirmation of your arrival tomorrow.
Your loving husband.
P.S. Things are not as we thought. You're going to be
surprised at how hot it is down here.
============================================
An old man lived alone in Ireland. He wanted to spade his
potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who
would have helped him, was in Long Kesh Prison. The old man
wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his predicament.
Shortly, he received this reply, "For HEAVEN'S SAKE Dad,
don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the GUNS!"
At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen British soldiers showed
up and dug up the entire garden, without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling
him what happened, and asking him what to do next. His son's
reply was: "Now plant your potatoes, Dad; It's the best I
could do at this time."
