"Little Johnny's Pappa"
Little Johnny was talking to a couple of boys
in the school yard. Each was bragging about
how great their fathers are.
The first one said: "Well, my father runs the
fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run,
I tell you, he gets there before the arrow!"
The second one said: "Ha! You think that's
fast! My father is a hunter. He can shoot his
gun and be there before the bullet!"
Little Johnny listened to the other two boys
and shook his head. He then said: "Sorry,
dudes... but MY DAD is the fastest. He's a
civil servant. He stops working at 4:30...
and he's home by 3:45!"

"The Young Braggart"
The strong young man at the construction site
was bragging that he could out do anyone in a
feat of strength. He made a special case of
making fun of one of the older workman.
After several minutes, the older worker had had
enough. "Why don't you put your money where
your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages
that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over
to that outbuilding that you won't be able to
wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's
see what you got."
The old man reached out and grabbed the
wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to
the young man, he said, "All right. Get in."
