Grandma, The Traveler

"Pony Express"

At a Milwaukee post office, a woman complained
to the clerk that a Pony Express rider could get
a letter from Milwaukee to St. Louis in two days,
and now it takes three.

"I'd like to know why," she scoffed.

The clerk thought a moment and then
suggested,

"The horses are a lot older now?"

"Going To A Movie"

For the first time in many years, a friend of ours
traveled from his rural town to the city to attend
a movie.

After buying his ticket he stopped at the
concession stand to purchase some
popcorn. Handing the attendant $4.50,
my friend couldn't help but comment, "The
last time I came to the movie, popcorn was
only 15 cents."

"Well, sir," the attendant replied with a grin,
"You're really going to enjoy yourself. We
have sound now."

"Grandma, The Traveler"

For my grandmother Bessie's 80th birthday,
we had a huge family celebration and even
managed to get a photo announcement
about her in the local paper.

"That was such a nice shot," I commented.

"It's only my passport picture," she revealed.

"Really?" I stared at my homebody grandma
in complete amazement.

"So...Where did you go?"

She replied, "Walgreen's."
