The Tide Is Groaning

"The Tide Is Groaning"

One afternoon The Sea rolled into the office of
Dr. Alfred Werner, clinical psychologist. The doctor
smiled; he hadn't seen his old friend in ages.

"Well, well! Long time no sea! How are you doing?"

"Swell," replied the Sea saltily.

"Then what, Pacifically, is the problem?"

"Well," the Sea swished sadly, "I'm getting tired of
just going in and out every day, in and out, in and
out, in and--"

"I understand," Dr. Werner interrupted hastily, "but
I fear there's nothing to be done about it. For you
see, my friend, you're just fit to be tide."

"Live Longer"

A fellow went to the doctor who told him that he
had a bad illness and only a year to live. So he
decided to talk to his pastor. After the man explained
his situation, he asked his Pastor if there was
anything he could do.

"What you should do is go out and buy a late '70
or early '80 model Dodge Pickup," said the Pastor.
"Then go get married to the ugliest woman you can
find, and buy yourselves an old trailer house in the
panhandle of Oklahoma."

The fellow asked, "Will this help me live longer?"

"No," said the pastor, "but it will make what time
you do have seem like forever."
