I ran into an old buddy the other day. He was a rising entrepreneur, but now he looked down and out. What gives? He begins wailing his tale.

“I had a restaurant out there on the interstate, you know. Spent a fortune on a new high-rise sign to attract traffic. It did, too. It read ‘free cocktail with dinner!’ The ‘cocktail’ was flashing red neon. Was it impressive!”

“Sounds like a good idea. So what went wrong?”

“Oh, the county took notice, inspection crews come out, I’m harassed all the time by the Planning department, the churches in the neighborhood have filed compaints-”

“Hey, I thought you ran a stand-up operation out there.”

“I did. Half my flashing red neon burned out!”

“Oh, I see…” I thought a minute. “Which half?”

“Don’t make no difference!” he wailed.

A woman and her ten-year-old son were riding in a cab in New York City.

It was raining and all the hookers were standing under the awnings.

“Mom,” said the boy, “what are all those women doing?”

“They’re waiting for their husbands to get off work,” she replied.

The cabbie turns around and says, “Geez lady, why don’t you tell him the truth? They’re hookers, boy! They have sex with men for money.”

The little boy’s eyes get wide and he says, “Is that true, Mom?”

His mother, glaring hard at the cabbie, answers in the affirmative.

After a few minutes, the kid asks, “Mom, what happens to the babies those women have?”

“Most of them become cab drivers,” she said.

A big mouth college student challenged a senior citizen saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his world. “You grew up in a different world,” the student said.

“Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers, the internet…”

Taking advantage of a pause in the student’s litany, the senior said,
“You’re right sonny . We didn’t have those things when we were young… so we invented them!”

A little old woman answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.”Good morning,” said the young man.

“If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners.

“Go away!” said the old woman. “I haven’t got any money!” and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open.

“Don’t be too hasty!” he said.

“Not until you have at least seen my demonstration.”

In addition, with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.

“If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.”

The old woman stepped back and said, “Well I hope you’ve got a darned good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning.”

As an instructor in driver education at the local area High School, I’ve learned that even the brightest students can become flustered behind the wheel.

One day I had three beginners in the car, each scheduled to drive for 30 minutes.

When the first student had completed his time, I asked him to change places with one of the others.

Gripping the wheel tightly and staring straight ahead, he asked in a shaky voice, “Should I stop the car first?”
