Proposal

"Proposal"

At a country-club party a young man was introduced
to an attractive girl. Immediately he began paying
her court and flattering her outrageously. The girl
liked the young man, but she was taken a bit aback
by his fast and ardent pitch. She was amazed when
after 30 minutes he seriously proposed marriage.

"Look," she said. "We only met a half hour ago.
How can you be so sure? We know nothing about
each other."

"You're wrong," the young man declared. "For the
past 5 years I've been working in the bank where
your father has his account."

"Taking Pictures"

Dining out one evening, I noticed six teenagers
boisterously celebrating some event at a nearby
table. Toward their end of their meal, one of them
got up and produced a camera.

"Hey, wait a minute," one of her companions said.
"You have to be in the picture too."

When I approached and asked if I could help, the
girl who owned the camera was delighted. I
snapped a picture of the group and then, being
unfamiliar with the camera, I asked her, "Do you
want me to take another in case that one doesn't
come out?"

"Oh, no, that's okay," she chirped innocently. "I
always get double prints."
