A little boy went up to his father and asked: "Dad, where did all of my intelligence come from?" His father replied: "Well, son, you must have gotten it from your mother, because I still have mine."

The old man approached a young stranger in the post office and asked, "Sir, would you address this postcard for me?" The man gladly did so, and then offered to write a short note for the old fellow. Finally the stranger asked, "Now, is there anything else I can do for you?" The old man looked at the postcard, thought a moment and said, "Yes, at the end could you add ‘Please excuse for the sloppy handwriting’."

A woman was terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you’ll have lost at least five pounds." When the woman returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that’s amazing," the doctor said. "Did you follow my instructions?" The woman nodded. "I’ll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day.""From hunger, you mean?" "No, from skipping."
