The couple had been debating the purchase of a new auto for weeks. He wanted a C5. She wanted a faster and smaller sports car so she could zip through traffic around town. He would probably have settled on any Vette, but everything she seemed to like was way out of their price range.
"Look " she said, "I want something that goes from 0 to 200 in 9 seconds or less. And my birthday is coming up. You should surprise me."
Soooo, for her birthday, he bought her a brand new bathroom scale.
2 hick brothers go to a lumber yard to buy some lumbar. No place to park so the smarter brother drives the little Isuzu pickup around the block while the other goes in to order.
Clerk: How can I help you?
Hick: Wanna buy some 4 by 2s.
Clerk: You must mean 2 by 4s?
Hick: Wait, I’ll go ask my Brother (goes outside to flag brother down) and back in. Yes 2 by 4s.
Clerk: How many?
Hick: 200.
Clerk: (Who saw the little Isuzu P/U as it went past) and asked amazed you sure you want 200?
Hick: Wait, I’ll go ask my Brother (back outside and back in) you are right I want 20.
Clerk: How long you want them?
Hick: I’ll go ask my Brother (outside and back in) we want them for a long time we’re building a barn.
My grandfather took many chances with his Vette driving it very fast after a long lunch and a few beers at the VFW where he had been a member for nearly 60 years. His buddies said that he should slow down take things easy, "smell the roses", buy a Prius with good gas mileage.
He tried to slow down a bit and died peacefully in his sleep not like the passenger in his Vette who was heard screaming loud cussing words as the vehicle left the roadway.
