Good morning crew,

As it turned out, all of the rowdy little white belts came back to class yesterday afternoon. However, things were a little more structured than on Tuesday. Why I'm not sure, but it might have something to do with the parents. The reason I think that is because the mom of one of the kids tapped me on the shoulder before class and asked me why I don't beat the kids into submission.

"Probably because Master Han would kick me out of his school if I started beating up his students," I answered. "Plus, I think it's illegal."

"Well," she said glancing over her shoulder and leaning close, "you can beat mine."

Not often do you get permission from a parent to smack their five-year-old around, but after dealing with her little cherub for only a half hour I think I understood the eagerness I saw in her eyes to see someone else take him down a peg.

However I answered, "I can't, it's school policy, but if it makes you feel any better he'll start sparring class when he makes green belt. Then I get to kick him."

She brightened up immediately. "Really? How long will that be?"

Laugh it up,

Joe

Seeing her friend Sally wearing a new locket, Meg asks if there is a memento of some sort inside.

"Yes," says Sally, "a lock of my husband's hair."

"But Larry's still alive."

"I know, but his hair is gone."

I was in small-claims court when I listened in on the case of a woman who held a good job but still had trouble paying her bills on time.

"Can't you live within your income?" asked the judge.

"No, Your Honor," she said. "It's all I can do to live within my credit."
