Child’s prayer

A six-year-old boy had been so naughty during the week that his mother decided to give him the worst kind of punishment. She told him he couldn’t go to the school picnic on Saturday. When the day came, his mother felt she had been too harsh and changed her mind. When she told the little boy he could go to the picnic, the child’s reaction was one of gloom and unhappiness.

"What’s the matter? I thought you’d be glad to go to the picnic." Her mother said.

"It’s too late!" the little kid said. "I’ve already prayed for rain."

An applicant was filling a job application. When he came to the question, "Have you ever been arrested?" he wrote, "No."

The next question, intended for people who had answered in the affirmative to the previous question, was "Why?"

The applicant answered it anyway. "Never got caught."

A shopkeeper was dismayed when a brand-new business, much like his own, opened up next door and erected a huge sign which read BEST DEALS.

He was horrified when another competitor opened up on his right, and announced his arrival with an even larger sign, reading LOWEST PRICES.

The shopkeeper panicked, until he got an idea. He put the biggest sign of all over his own shop. It read MAIN ENTRANCE.

Sitting at the bar, sad Rob told the bartender that he was drinking to forget the heartbreak of his broken engagement. "Yeah," said Rob, "would you marry someone who didn’t know the meaning of the word faithful, and who was flip and even vicious when the subject of fidelity came up?" "No way in hell" said the bartender.

"Well, said Rob, "neither would my fiancée."
