Christmas Cards

"Christmas Cards"*

*I wondered if I could get my husband to address
Christmas cards, as I had so much to do. I arranged
everything we needed, then hopefully pulled up a
chair and said, "Come on, Dear, let's get these out of the way."

He glanced at the array on the table, turned away
and went into the den, only to return moments later
with a high stack of cards, stamped, sealed, and addressed.

"They're last year's," he said. "I forgot to mail them.
Now let's go out to dinner and relax. You've been working too hard."

"New Maid"*

*A woman desperately seeking a good housekeeper
interviewed a husky girl who recently came from
Lapland. The dialogue was as follows:

"Can you do fancy cooking?"

"NO."

"Plain cooking?"

"NO."

"Can you sew?"

"NO."

"General housework?"

"NO."

"What can you do?"

"I milk reindeer."
