Groan.

Mimes aren’t as scary as clowns…they’re only just annoying.

…and the editor said “copy that!”

And silent in several languages too.

Actually not a “he” but a “she”, and she escaped by breaking through the glass ceiling.

It was for the Greater Good.

He was just doing his job.

I know a snowmobiler who parked his sled in a treetop once.

It took several friends to get it down…

My friend Cliff, was a deaf mute. He was outraged the time he had to stay in the hospital for some tests and upon discharge,received a whopping bill that included ( among other ridiculous costs ) charges for a telephone in his room !

.

If the hospital had simply admitted their billing error, there’d have been no problems. But of course, the dug their heels in ,and refused to remove it from the bill.

.

Cliff really couldn’t afford a lawyer to fight this, so I did the next best thing. I went with Cliff to the Hospital Administrator to resolve the issue.

Oh … yeah… I had a camera crew and news reporter from the local t.v. station with me, as well !

They finally took the phone charge off the deaf man’s bill.

Neither does a third grade vocabulary.

.

All humor emanates from both our light and dark sides. Why do we laugh at the guy slipping on the banana peel, for example ?

What may be feces to you, is funny to someone else.The situation I described was darkly funny and illustrative of a point, not too far off topic.

.

I , for one, found Old Texan ’s remarks to be quite interesting – if a somewhat sad commentary on Texas justice.

… but he used some really nasty body language!
