Good morning crew,

So today is Tax Day and payday (for me anyway). Ironic? Maybe I'll take what's left of my check and take the wife out for a little midweek date. It should be cheap. We both have to be in bed by 10:30. How much money can we spend in that time?

Laugh it up,

Joe

My friend had a wedding to go to, and needed a wedding gift. Aha, she thought, I have that monogrammed silver tray from my wedding that I never use. I'll just take it to a silversmith and have him remove my monogram and put hers on it. Voila, one cheap wedding present."

She took it to the silversmith and asked him to remove her monogram and put the new one on. The silversmith examined the tray carefully, shook his head and said, "Ma'am, this kind of thing can only be done so many times!"

After eight days of backpacking with my wife Linda, we were looking pretty scruffy. One morning she came to breakfast in a baseball cap, her shoulder length hair sticking out at odd angles.

"Terry," she said, "does my hair make me look like a water buffalo?"

I thought for a moment, then said, "If I tell you the truth, do you promise not to charge?"
