Jell-O

"Jell-O"

Freddy had never seen a plate of Jell-O. He
sat there at the dinner table staring at it for
along moment, watching it quiver.

"Go ahead and eat it," his mother ordered.

"Eat it!" the boy drew back in amazement.
"It ain't dead yet!"

"Fishing for Catfish"

I once heard of a boy who was fishing off a lake shore trying to
catch catfish. He was by himself, but there were two men out
on a boat drinking a little bit in the middle of the cove.

The boy had been sitting there for a couple of hours and was
getting tired of fishing, so he started to reel his line in. It felt
like it was hung on something on the bottom. One of the two
guys saw him having trouble and yelled to him that he would
swim down and get it unhooked.

The boy was a bit nervous about that because the man had
been drinking, but he said all right.

The man got undressed and jumped in. He went underwater
and was down there awhile and the boy was getting scared,
but suddenly the man popped up gasping for air.

He hollered to the boy that he had the biggest fish he'd ever
seen on the other end of his line, but there was one problem.

There was an old car down there and the fish was in it.

The boy asked the man if he could pull the fish out. The man
said he had tried everything he could think of but every time he
got close to the car, the fish would roll the window up.
