Five year old Becky answered the door when the census taker came by. She told the census taker that her daddy was a doctor and wasn’t home, because he was performing an appendectomy. “My,” said the census taker, “that sure is a big word for such a little girl. Do you know what it means?” “Sure! Fifteen hundred bucks, and that doesn’t even include the anesthesiologist.”

Two scientists were discussing their latest behavior-modification research. “We’ve started something new,” said the first scientist. “For some of our more dangerous experiments, we’re now using lawyers.” “Lawyers?” questioned her colleague. “But we’ve always used rats.” “Well, you know how it is. You get so attached to the rats.”

A property manager of single-family residence was showing a unit to prospective tenants and asking the usual questions. “Professionally employed?” he asked. “We’re a military family,” the wife answered. “Children?” “Oh, yes, ages nine and twelve,” she answered proudly. “Animals?” “Oh, no,” she said earnestly. “They’re well behaved.”

A man went into his shrink’s office and says, “Doc, you have got to help me! Every night I keep dreaming that I’m a sports car.” The other night I dreamed I was a Ferrari. Another night I dreamed I was a BMW. Last night I dreamed I was a Porsche. What does this mean?” “Relax,” says the doctor; “you’re just having an auto-body experience.”

A policeman caught a nasty little boy, with a penknife in one hand and a squirrel in the other. “Now listen here,” the policeman said. “Whatever you do to that poor, defenseless creature, I shall personally do to you” “In that case,” said the boy, “I’ll kiss it on the forehead and let it go.”

A very homely person made an appointment with a psychiatrist. The homely person walked into the doctor’s office and said, “Doctor, I’m so depressed and lonely. I don’t have any friends, no one will come near me, and everybody laughs at me. Can you help me accept my ugliness?” “I’m sure I can,” the psychiatrist replied. “Just go over and lie face down on that couch.”

The teacher of the earth science class was lecturing on map reading. After explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees and minutes the teacher asked, “Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude…?”After a confused silence, a voice volunteered, “I guess you’d be eating alone.”

Jacky walked into his house from school crying; his mom saw him and said, “What’s wrong, Jacky?” Jacky replied, “I lost a quarter at school!” “There, there,” replied his mother, “here’s another,” handing him a quarter. Jacky cries even louder; this time his mother, upset, says, “What’s the matter now?” Jacky says, “I wish I said I lost a dollar.”

Summer was over and the teacher was asking the class about their vacations. She turned to little Johnny and asked what he did over the summer. “We visited my grandmother in Minneapolis, Minnesota,” he said. “That sounds like an excellent vocabulary word,” the teacher said, “Can you tell the class how you spell that?” Little Johnny thought about it and said, “Come to think of it, she lives in Ohio.”
