he's staying at a rehab center created by the tax-and-spend liberals. (Lee

spend $115 per seat to take a nap. As the midway point of the third period

awakened Fred. It was time to leave nodding to chants. (Bob Dvorak)

and, being intrigued by a display in the window, he went in and came home
with a dog-eared book of poems. The point of my story is: Never send a
literary dog to the grocery store because he'll get verse before he gets
butter!" (Carl Hess)

The scene was Mount Olympus, where Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, had
thrown a party for a pair of visiting Roman deities -- Ceres, the goddess
of agriculture, and Janus, the two-faced god of doors and beginnings.
Everyone overdid it, more or less. Ceres at one point was staggering and
turning in circles; Janus, equally submerged, was trying to dance with her.
Bacchus feared that the pair might fall over, so he went to steady them.

double-header. (Cascade Express)

that the jokes were pretty stupid. Because of this, his cows became the
laughing stock of the town. (John Price)

You see, I've got a hobby. I keep bees." "You keep bees in this tiny
apartment? Where could you possibly house them?" asks the son. "There, over
there on the table in a glass jar." "But those bees will suffocate; that
jar has a lid on it." "What do I care?" says the father. "It's only a
hobby." (Archives)

A blonde tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems
selling it, because the car had 250,000 miles on it. One day, she told her
problem to a brunette she worked with at a salon. The brunette told her,
"There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell, but it's not
legal." "That doesn't matter," replied the blonde, "if I only can sell the
car." "Okay," said the brunette. "Here is the address of a friend of mine.
He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will turn the counter
in your car back to 50,000 miles. Then it should not be a problem to sell
your car." The following weekend, the blonde made the trip to the mechanic.

your car?" "No," replied the blonde, "why should I? It only has 50,000
miles on it." (Curly David)
