It is hard to find a joke today without a dirty word or two in it, but here is one:
Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, ‘Is that tree a son of a beech or a son of a birch?’
The birch says he cannot tell, but just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.
The birch says, ‘Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?’
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree and replies, ‘It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever poked my pecker into.
I stole this story from SBaker – a Facebook Friend.
How often do you high-five someone for the great thing they did?
How often does someone else high-five you for the great thing you did?
It’s a great way to acknowledge success, excitement and even a really good joke.
More often than not, it’s mandatory to accept a high-five request from a friend.
Here is a story that is somewhat unusual
Yesterday I was riding in the car with my wife. We were joking, laughing and having a good time.
I cracked a joke about something my wife said and the laughter from both of us increased.
My wife used her wit to spin the words I said and turned the joke around on me.
What she said was far funnier than what I said, despite the fact that the joke was not on me.
My wife raised her hand and barked out, “High Five!”
Foolish me, in a knee-jerk response, I accepted her high-five of her witty joke against me.
This made the joke that much more funnier.
Never again, never again will I high-five my wife when she cracks a joke about me.
My wife scolded me for doing this to one of my grandkids.
What to do you think?
Was I being a bad Grandfather?
