A mother had sons, and, very unfortunately, had to give them up for adoption. One was sent to Egypt, and was named Amal. The other was given to a family in Mexico, and was named Juan. Years later, Juan discovered that he was adopted and found out who his birth mother was, and sent her a letter, along with a picture of himself. When his mother recieved the picture, she sighed and said, "Oh, I wish I had a picture of Amal, too!" The father replied, "That's okay. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
A North Carolina man, having bought several expensive cigars, insured them against...get this...fire. After he had smoked them, he then decided that he had a claim against the insurance company and filed. The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigar normally. The man sued. The judge, stated that since the company had insured the cigars against fire, they were obligated to pay. After the man accepted payment for his claim, the company then had him arrested for...arson.
A Kindergarten student was sitting at his desk making funny faces at anyone that would watch. The teacher came by and saw what he was doing and said calmly, "Billy you had better stop doing that, your face might stick that way." Billy stared back just as calmly and said in reply, "I guess you learned the hard way."
A man found a lamp. A genie came out (as is the usual in these stories ), and offered the man anything he wanted. Since he was a scientist, he wished to be smarter than any man in the world. "Done!" said the genie, and the man turned into a woman.
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they crawled into their sleeping bags for the night. Holmes nudged his faithful friend and said, "Watson, look up and tell me what you see." Watson replied, "I see millions of stars." "And what does that mean to you?" Watson pondered for a minute. "I guess it means that there are millions of galaxies and billions of planets, and that we are small and insignificant in God's eyes, and should be thankful for everything that we have. In a meteoroligical sense, it means that we will have a sunny day tomorrow. What does it mean to you, Holmes?" "To me, it means that someone has stolen our tent." |
