Incredible Lobster Deal

"Incredible Lobster Deal"

A guy was down on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco
when he saw a seafood restaurant and a sign on the
Specials Board which read, "Big Lobster Tales, $5 each.

" Amazed at the great value, he said to the waitress,
"$5 each for lobster tails ... . . . is that correct?"

"Yes", she said, "It's our special just for today."

"Well", he said, "they must be little lobster tails."

"No," she replied, "It's the really big lobster."

"Are you sure they aren't green lobster tails - and a little
bit tough?"

"No", she said, "it's the really big red lobster."

"Big red lobster tails, $5 each?", he said, amazed.

"They must be old lobster tails!"

"No, they're definitely today's."

"Today's big red lobster tails - $5 each?" he repeated,
astounded.

"Yes", she insisted.

"Well, here's my five dollars," he said, "I'll take one."

She took the money and led him to a table where she invited
him to sit down. She then sat down next to him, put her hand
on his shoulder, leaned over close to him and said, "Once
upon a time there was a really big red lobster ..."

"Parachute"

In a plane that's about to crash, there are three passengers: the
wisest man on earth, a student, and a politician.

When they find out that the plane is about to go down and there
is only one parachute between the three of them they debate about
who would sacrifice his life for the country and who will jump to
safety.

The politician says he's responsible for running the country, so
of course, he should be the one to jump.

The wise man says he's got to serve mankind, so he should be the
one who jumps.

The student says he is the future, and he should be the recipient
of the parachute.

As the kid speaks, the wise man grabs the bag and leaps wildly
out of the plane.

The politician is astounded, but the student remains calm.

"Why are you so calm? We're both about to die!" exclaims the
politician.

The student replies, "Well wisdom just leapt out with my school
bag, so the future can hang on to politics and feel safe."
