Water Buffalo

"Water Buffalo"

After eight days of backpacking with my wife,
we were looking pretty scruffy. One morning
she came to breakfast in a baseball cap, her
shoulder length hair sticking out at odd angles.

"Darling," she said, "does my hair make me
look like a water buffalo?"

I thought for a moment, then said, "If I tell you
the truth, do you promise not to charge?"

"Polite Dinner"

There are two polite people having dinner together.
On the table there is a dish with one big piece of
fish and one small piece of fish.

They politely say to each other: "You may choose first."

"No, you may choose first." And this goes on for a while.

Then the first person says: "OK, I'll take first," and he
takes the BIG piece of fish.

The second person: "Why did you take the big piece?
That's not polite!"

The first person says: "Which piece would *you* have
taken?"

The second person replies: "Why, I would have taken the
SMALL piece, of course."

The first person says: "Well, that's what you have now!"
