** While waiting for her first appointment with her new dentist, Jane notices his degree certificate on the wall, which includes his first name. Suddenly she remembers a tall, handsome boy from her High School class some 45 years ago who had exactly the same name. Naturally she wonders whether this can be the same guy. However upon seeing him, she quickly dismisses any such thought. Surely this aging, balding, grey-haired old man with a deeply lined face could not possibly be one of her old High School classmates? After he had finished examining her teeth, Jane decides to ask him whether he attended the local high school. “Yes,” he replied. “That’s amazing. What year did you graduate then?” Jane asks. “In 1973,” he responds. “Amazing, you were in my class! Jane exclaims. He looks at her closely and then asks, “What subject did you teach?”

** Jed goes into a public restroom and he’s barely sat down in the cubicle when he hears a voice say, “Hi, how are you?” Feeling a little embarrassed Jed says politely, “Well, I guess I’m doing fine thank you!” The voice then responds, “So what are you up to?” Jed is even more embarrassed but once again he responds politely, “Well just like you I’m sitting here trying to get a load off my mind.” He then hears the voice say, “Hey, can I come over?” Jed is now extremely embarrassed and starting to get slightly irritated too, so he snaps back, “Look, surely you understand I’m a bit busy right now!” At this point he hears the voice say, “Jane listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the next cubicle who keeps responding to all my questions!”

** A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied, “Well your Honor, it was like this: when the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, “The Double Mint Twins are coming,” and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, “Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling,” and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, “William’s Big Stick did the Trick,” and I could hardly contain myself. But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, “Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!”…I just lost it.” “CASE DISMISSED!!”
