HAVE A LAUGH

MATHS PROBLEM

THE teacher told her class to copy the maths problems she had written on the board and to draw a line between each problem.

When she was grading the papers she noticed that little Susie had drawn flowers between the problems.

Teacher to Susie: “These are very pretty flowers, but why did you draw them on your math assignment?”

Susie: “I had to draw flowers because I don’t know how to draw lions.”

SON’S TURN

Early one evening a gentleman scuttled out to his garage and pulled the lawn furniture out onto the driveway.

Shortly after followed the lawnmower, a few gardening tools and a bicycle.

A curious neighbor wandered over and asked he was going to have a garage sale.

“No,” replied the gentleman, “my son just bought his first car and right now he’s getting ready for a big date.

He’ll be taking the car out soon to pick up the girl.”

“So what’s with all the if stuff?” asked the neighbor.

“Well, after years of moving tricycles, toys and sports equipment out of the way every time I came home from work, I wanted to make sure the driveway was ready for him.”

DOGGY TALK

On a slow day with few customers, a clerk at a telegram office looked down from her counter and saw a dog waiting in line.

“Oh, aren’t you cute?” she said. “What would you like me to put on your telegram?”

“Bow wow wow, Bow wow wow,” the dog replied.

The clerk said in a cutesy voice, “But you can add another ‘Bow wow wow’ for the same price.”

The dog responded, “Yes, but that would sound silly.”
