*Not at all,* she said. *Even dogs chase cars that they can*t drive!*

I know that I always make a weekly joke, but on a more serious note...
I would like everyone to say a prayer for me and wish me luck today. I have to go talk to the bank today, and if all goes well, we are talking thousands of dollars here. I cannot wait to be free of debt. I am so excited I can barely get my ski mask over my head!
DISCLAIMER: none of our employees actually plan on robbing the bank!

I was walking home late last night and I decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery. Three girls walked up and explained to me that they were scared to walk past the cemetery at night, so I agreed to let them walk along with me. I told them, *I understand. I used to get freaked out too when I was alive.* - I*ve never seen anyone run so fast!

~~*Do you believe in life after death?* my boss asked one of his employees. *Yes, sir,* the clerk replied. *That*s good,* said the boss. *After you left early yesterday to go to your grandma*s funeral, she stopped in to see you.*
~~I went for a run, but I came back home after 2 minutes because I forgot something. I forgot that I*m fat and can*t run for more than 2 minutes.

So, I*m sitting in a bar and two very large women with accents are sitting across from me. I say, *Cool accents, are you two ladies from Scotland?* One of them yells, *Its Wales, you idiot.* So I said, *OK, are you two Whales from Scotland?*
I don*t remember much after that.
