"About That Lincoln"
A father noticed that his son was spending way
too much time playing computer games. In an
effort to motivate the boy to focus more attention
on his schoolwork, the father said to his son,
"When Lincoln was your age, he was studying
books by the light of the fireplace."
The son replied, "But Dad, when Lincoln was
your age, he was President of The United States!"

"A New Country Gentleman"
An urbanite retired and moved to the country.
Every morning he put on his denims and a
straw hat and made every effort to become
a country gentleman.
One day an old friend came to visit him from
the city. As he was showing him around the
farm they came to the gentleman's pride and
joy...a fine-looking horse.
"Yes sir," said the gentleman, "I go for a buggy
ride almost every morning. How about I hitch up
old Sea Biscuit and we go for a ride?"
"Suits me." answers the friend.
The gentleman started to harness the horse, but
the animal resisted having the bit put in his mouth.
It was obvious that the new farmer had no idea
how to harness a horse, and after the tenth attempt
to get the horse to open its mouth, the guest said,
"Why don't you wait until he yawns?"
