Quick recovery

AFTER a long and difficult operation, Lena ended up in a coma. When her husband Ralph came into the intensive care unit to see her, the doctors gave him the bad news.

"We just can’t wake her up. It doesn’t look good I’m afraid," the doctor told Ralph in a quiet sombre voice. Ralph looked at Lena and with a soft trembling voice said, "But doctor, she’s so young. She’s only 45."

"37", came the weak reply from Lena.

The new family in the neighbourhood overslept and their six-year-old daughter missed her school bus and the father had to drive her. Since he did not know the way, he said she would have to direct him to the school. They rode several blocks before she told him to turn the first time, several more before she indicated another turn. This went on for 20 minutes. When they finally reached the school, it proved to be only a short distance from their home. The father, much annoyed, asked his daughter why sheled him around in such a circle. The child explained, "That’s the way the school bus goes, Daddy. It’s the only way I know."

Expensive service

Outraged by the high charges that the computer service wanted for repair work, one employee asked her co-worker which service she used.

"My sons," was the reply. "They both have degrees in computer science."

"So you get that kind of work done for nothing," the friend marvelled.

The co-worker smiled. "Actually, I figured that it cost me about $1, 40,000 for my kids to fix my computer for free."

A West Virginia state-trooper stopped a woman for going 15 miles over the speed limit. After he handed her a ticket, she asked him, "Don’t you give out warnings?"

"Yes, ma’am," he replied. "They’re all up and down the road. They say, ‘Speed Limit 55.’"
