Connection

"Connection"

The woman taking my order at a fast-food
restaurant was about 25. She was attractive and
had a bubbly personality and a warm smile.
Even though I'm 45, I felt there was chemistry
between us.

Before I walked away from the counter to sit
down, we made eye contact and again exchanged
smiles.

Eating my burger, I glanced at my receipt.
It turned out she had given me the senior-
citizen discount.

"Hospital Signs"

A hospital posted a notice in the nurses' mess saying:

"Remember, the first five minutes of a human being's
life are the most dangerous."

Underneath, a nurse had written:

"The last five are pretty risky, too."

"Perfect"

A well known diplomat had just returned from a
weekend at a stately country home.

When he was asked by a friend whether or not
he'd had a good time, he said,

"If the soup had been as warm as the wine,
and the wine as old as the chicken,
and the chicken as tender as the upstairs maid,
and the maid as willing as the Lady of the house,
it would have been perfect."
