Coach ....

The coach for the little league team had not yet learned the names of all the players, so he called them by the numbers on their uniforms. He yelled, "Number 5, your time to bat," and Jeff came to the plate to hit. He yelled, "Number 7," and Steve jumped up. Then he yelled, "Number 1," but no one got up.

Again he called out, "Number 1." Still no one emerged from the dugout. The umpire was getting annoyed at the delay, so the coach yelled out, "Who's number 1?"

The entire team responded, "We are, coach. We are!"

Morning Poem

I woke early one morning,

The earth lay cool and still
When suddenly a tiny bird
Perched on my window sill,
He sang a song so lovely
So carefree and so gay,
That slowly all my troubles
Began to slip away.
He sang of far off places
Of laughter and of fun,
It seemed his very trilling,
brought up the morning sun.
I stirred beneath the covers
Crept slowly out of bed,
Then gently shut the window
And crushed his ****ing head.
I'm not a morning person.​

"A little courtesy goes a long way, which is fortunate, in view of the shortage."

The clearest indication of the complexity of modern relationships is the greeting cards that are blank on the inside. It's like the card company says, "We give up, you think of something. For seventy-five cents it's not worth us getting involved. ---Jerry Seinfeld

"Yeah, I know, some people are against drunk driving, and I call those people "the cops." But you know, sometimes, you've just got no choice; those kids gotta get to school!" --Dave Attel

Ten Kids.....
While visiting an old friend, the father of ten growing children, I asked, "How in the world do you get them all to the table at the same time?"

"That's easy," he replied with a twinkle in his eye. "We just set the table for nine and blow a whistle."

"I personally don't mind growing old, but my body's taking it badly."

"We cannot all do great things. But we can do small things with great love."

Our forefathers thought nothing looked so relaxed as an old dog stretched out in front of the fire. But then, they never saw one stretched out in front of the air conditioner.

"Don't marry for money; you can borrow it cheaper. "

"A"

While delivering a sermon on the Seventh Commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," our pastor commented that this sin is not always taken as seriously as it used to be. He used as an example Hester Prynne, in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. After being found guilty of adultery, Hester had to appear in public with an "A" displayed on her clothing. Following the sermon, a visiting male choir, the Ambassadors, faced the congregation-with a brightly embroidered "A" on each of their blazers.

An auto mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clunking noise when going around corners. He took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn, then a left turn, each time hearing a loud clunk. Back at the shop, he returned the car to the service manager with this note: "Removed bowling ball from trunk."

Terrorism
This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers. And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell customer service reps.

Marquee sign in front of a church: "Stop, drop and roll does not work in hell"

A woman's idea of a larger shoe is one of the same size that doesn't fit so tight.

When he finally felt he was ready, my friend's little boy invited his mother to listen to him rehearse his first confession. Solemnly bowing his head, he joined his hands and said: "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. This is my first conviction."

???? in court

The judge was questioning a fellow in court. "Have you had any previous charges?" he asked.

There was no response to the question, so the judge rephrased it. "Have you ever been up before me before?"

A brief silence followed. The defendant then responded: "I don't know, judge. What time do you get up?"

Football Coach

The small-time football coach with a reputation for tremendous optimism came into the locker room to give the boys a pre-game pep talk. "All right, boys," he cried cheerily, "here we are, unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon, and ready for the first game of the season."

The Confused Samaritan

A man was beaten up by robbers on a road to London. He lay there, half dead and in bad shape. A Vicar came along, saw him and passed by on the other side. Next, a monk came by but also walked quickly on the other side. Finally, a social worker came along, looked at the man and said "Whoever did this needs help!"
