"Learning From History"
A father noticed that his son was spending way too
much time playing computer games.
In an effort to motivate the boy into focusing more
attention on his schoolwork, the father said to his
son, "When Abe Lincoln was your age, he was
studying books by the light of the fireplace."
The son replied, "When Lincoln was your age, he
was The President of The United States."

"Two Can Play That Game"
Two brawny men came to my house to install
some new floor covering in the kitchen. Once
they had moved the stove and refrigerator out
of the way, it was not long before the job was
done. As they were getting ready to leave, I
asked them to put the heavy appliances back
in place. The two men said that would cost an
additional $45 service fee, stating it was not in
their contract. I really had no choice but to pay them.
As soon as they left, however, the doorbell rang.
It was the two men. They asked me to move my
van, which was blocking their truck. I told them
my fee was $45... for van moving!
