There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn’t know what Johnny’s problem was, but the boys would constantly tease him. They would always comment that he was two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and John would always take the nickel – they said, because it was bigger.

One day after John grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him aside and said, “Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don’t know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it’s bigger, or what?”

Slowly, Johnny turned toward the store owner and a big grin appeared on his face and Johnny said, “Well, if I took the dime, they’d stop doing it, and so far I have saved $20!”

Nutritionists say that eating healthy involves filling your plate with bright colors: Greens, reds, yellows. So I had a bowl of M&Ms.

My 4-year-old granddaughter asked: “Where does poo come from?”

To make it simple, I said: “You just had breakfast?”

“Yes,” she replied.

“Well, the food goes in your mouth down into your tummy. Our body takes all the good stuff it needs out of the food and then what”s left goes down to your bottom – and when you go to the toilet, that comes out as poo.”

She looked confused and stared at me in stunned silence for a few seconds. Then she asked: “And Tigger?”

To everyone who wrote “stay cool” in my high school yearbook, I have some devastating news.

The bridge connecting Boston and Cambridge (Massachusetts) via Massachusetts Avenue is commonly know as the Harvard Bridge. When it was built, the state offered to name the bridge for the Cambridge school that could present the best claim for the honor.

Harvard submitted an essay detailing its contributions to education in America, concluding that it deserved the honor of having a bridge leading into Cambridge named for the institution.

MIT did a structural analysis of the bridge and found it so full of defects that they agreed that it should be named for Harvard.

I’ve decided to buy my wife a used chess set for her birthday. I’ll be buying it at a pawn shop.

It may be time to diet & exercise if…

– you try to do a few pushups and discover that certain body parts refuse to leave the floor.

– your children look through your wedding album and want to know who Daddy’s first wife was.

– you get winded just saying the words “ten-kilometer run.”

– you come to the conclusion that, if God really wanted you to touch your toes each morning, He would have put them somewhere around your knees.

– you analyze your body honestly and decide what you should develop first is your sense of humor.

– you step on a talking scale and it says, “Come back when you’re alone.”

My wife and I can’t count calories and have the bodies to prove it.

A salesman from a mortgage refinance company rang up a lady at home.

Salesman: “Do you have a second mortgage on your home?”

Lady: “No.”

Salesman: “Would you like to consolidate all your debts?”

Lady: “I really don’t have any.”

Salesman: “How about freeing up cash for home improvements?”

Lady: “I don’t need any. I just recently had some done and paid cash.”

… brief pause…

Salesman: “Are you looking for a husband?”
