HAVE A LAUGH

-

CLEVER THINKING

A LITTLE girl was sitting on her grandfathe­r’s lap as he read her a bedtime story.

From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek.

She was alternatel­y stroking her own cheek, then his again.

Finally she spoke up, “Grandpa, did God make you?”

“Yes, sweetheart,” he answered, “God made me a long time ago.”

“Oh,” she paused, “Grandpa, did God make me too?”

“Yes, indeed, honey,” he said, “God made you just a little while ago.”

Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, “God’s getting better at it, isn’t he?”

MEDICAL ADVICE

A lady went to a doctor’s office where she was seen by a doctor.

A few minutes into the examinatio­n, screeching could be heard from the room, and then the lady burst out of the room as if running for her life. After much effort a nurse finally managed to calm her down enough to tell her story.

The nurse barged into the office of the doctor and screamed, “Shame on you! Mrs Smith is 82 years old and you told her she’s pregnant.”

The doctor continued writing calmly and barely looking up said, “Does she still have the hiccups?”

WRONG DIRECTION

An old man and his wife went to the doctor for a check-up. While the man was with the doctor, the doctor asked him, “So how has life been treating you?”

The old man replied, “The Lord’s been good to me. Every night when I go to the bathroom, he turns the light on and when I’m finished, he turns the light off.”

While the old woman was with the doctor, the doctor told her what her husband said. She replied, “Damn it! The old man’s been peeing in the refrigerat­or again!”
