I was sitting on a bus behind a mother and her young son. Her boy kept looking around and pulling funny faces at me. After a few minutes, I got tired of his antics so I said, *When I was young, my mother told me that if I made an ugly face and the wind changed, that my face would stay that way.*
The little brat replied, *Well, you can*t say you weren*t warned!*

Guy: Doctor, my girlfriend is pregnant, but we always use protection and the rubber never broke. How is this possible?
Dr.: Let me tell you a story. There once was a hunter that carried his gun with him where ever he went. One day he took his umbrella instead of his gun. A lion suddenly jumped out in front of him. In order to scare the lion, he pulled out his umbrella and used it like a gun, shot the lion and then it died!
Guy: Nonsense! Someone else must have shot it!
Dr.: Good, you understood the story. Next patient, please.
