Bills

"Bills"

While in business years ago I had to pay ten
thousand in bills each week. A girl in the office
placed them in a folder she clearly marked
"Bills."

When I got out the check book she would place
it on my desk and I would see what I could pay.
As I was doing this one day my brother William
came in sat across from me. I pushed it over to
him so he could read the "Bills" and I said,
"Here, this is yours. "

I never did find out why he had come that day.

"51 Days"

A bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical day,
when the door bursts open and in come four
exuberant blondes. They come up to the bar, order
five bottles of champagne and ten glasses, take
their order over and sit down at a large table. The
corks are popped, the glasses are filled and they
begin toasting and chanting, "51 days, 51 days, 51
days!"

Soon, three more blondes arrive, take up their drinks
and the chanting grows. "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

Two more blondes show up and soon their voices are
joined in raising the roof. "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

Finally, the tenth blonde comes in with a picture under
her arm. She walks over to the table, sets the picture
in the middle and the table erupts. Up jumps the
others, they begin dancing around the table, exchanging
high-fives, all the while chanting "51 days, 51 days, 51
days!"

The bartender can't contain his curiosity any longer, so
he walks over to the table. There in the center is a
beautifully framed puzzle of the Cookie Monster.
When the frenzy dies down a little bit, the bartender
asks one of the blondes, "What's all the chanting and
celebration about?

The blonde who brought in the picture pipes in, "Everyone
thinks that blondes are dumb and they make fun of us.
So, we decided to set the record straight. Ten of us got
together, bought that puzzle and put it together. . .the side
of the box said 2-4 years, but we put it together in 51 days!"
