    I went to buy a dozen bees. The beekeeper gave me thirteen.

    I said, “Hey, you gave me one too many.”

    He said, “That’s a freebie.”

    It’d be pretty impressive if the first game of basketball was played with a basketball. They would have had to plan ahead really thoroughly.

    They also used peach baskets for the goal with the bottom of the basket intact. After a while they figured out that it was better to cut out the bottom of the basket so they wouldn’t have to keep climbing up to retrieve the ball after each score.

    Dennis Rodman once tried to start a topless women’s basketball league.

    The league flopped due to too little support.

    O.K. that’s enough. Until next time.

    That answers the question of why bees collect honey!

    it’s to put in their tea.

    I once played a game of 1 on 1 soccer on a basketball court. The winner was the first one to kick the soccer ball into the opponents goal. I won.

    Where, oh where, do bees get caffeine? If you’re researching the effect of drugs on bees, do bees collect the pollen from marijuana plants, and if so how is the honey?

    It’s like this. Naismith went to the sporting goods store and tried to buy a basketball but nobody knew what he was talking about. So he tried a football, but it was too hard to dribble. Well, the YMCA did have a medicine ball it was too hard to shoot, so one of the guys picked up a soccer ball and said hey Doc let’s try this. The rest is history.

    Jellyfish evaporate. We humans desiccate.

    Evaporate; insinuates total absence of fluid. Dehydrate; insinuates a residual leftover of base material. Does the Jelly Fish completely disappear?
