Smart Pills

"Little Lucy"

Little Lucy was in the garden filling in a hole
when her neighbor peered over the fence.

Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster
was doing, he politely asked, "What are you up
to there, Lucy?"

"My goldfish died," replied Lucy tearfully, without
looking up, "and I've just buried him."

The neighbor was concerned. "That's an awfully
big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"

Lucy patted down the last heap of earth then replied,
"That's because he's inside your darn cat!"

"Smart Pills"

As most young, weak and smart kids are, Ken
was picked on constantly by the bullies in school.
They stole his lunch, they beat him up and just
down right made his life miserable. It took him a
couple of weeks to find a way to get back at these
bullies and when he found out what would get
them back, he went all out.

He was on the bus where he normally gets his
lunch stolen when he brought out a bottle that had,
what looked like, small brown balls in it. He then,
making sure no one was looking, secretly took from
his pocket some milk duds and started popping them
in his mouth as obvious to the rest of the kids as
possible making yum yum noises.

The bus bully without asking snatched the jar from
Ken's hand and asked "What's in the bottle that
you are making such a big deal of?"

"Well, they're smart pills."

"Smart pills?" the bully asked. Then opened the jar
and popped a couple of the foreign brown balls in his
mouth. "Pweeuuweppblahhh!!" he reacted. "What is
this stuff? It tastes like rabbit poop!!"

"See, you're getting smarter already."
