At Yankee Stadium

"Sabbath Class"*

*The teacher in an adult Sabbath class asked a
woman to read about the Israelites wandering in the desert.

"The Lord heard you when you wailed, 'If only
we had meat to eat!'" she began. "Now the Lord
will give you meat. You will not eat it for just one
day, or two days, or five, or ten or twenty days,
but for a month - until you loathe it."

When the woman finished she paused, looked up
and said, "Hey, isn't that the Atkins diet?"

"At Yankee Stadium"*

*I was at a baseball game in Yankee Stadium, when
I decided to get myself a hot dog. As I stood up,
my husband asked me to buy him a beer.

The young clerk at the concession stand asked to
see verification of age.

"You've got to be kidding," I said. "I'm almost 40 years old."

He apologized, but he said he had to see some ID, it was policy.

When I showed him my driver's license, the clerk
served me the beer.

"That will be $6.25, please." he said.

I gave him $7.00 and told him to keep the change.
"The tip's for carding me," I said.

He put the change into his tip cup and replied, "Thanks."

And as I walked away, I heard him add, "Works every time."
