Was It Worth It?

"Cemetery Talk"

A sailor, while bringing flowers to a cemetery,
noticed an old Chinese man placing a bowl
of rice on a nearby grave.

The sailor walked up to the man and asked,
"When do you expect your friend to come up
and eat the rice?"

The old Chinese man replied with a smile,
"Same time your friend comes up to smell
the flowers."

"Was It Worth It?"

An elderly couple was on a cruise and it was
really stormy. They were standing on the
back of the boat watching the moon, when
a wave came up and washed the old woman
overboard. They searched for days and
couldn't find her, so the captain sent the old
man back to shore with the promise that he
would notify him as soon as they found something.

Three weeks went by and finally the old man
got a fax from the boat. It read: "Sir, sorry to
inform you, we found your wife dead at the
bottom of the ocean. We hauled her up to the
deck and attached to her butt was an oyster
and it was a pearl worth $50,000 . . .please
advise."

The old man faxed back: "Send me the pearl
and re-bait the trap."
