Breathalyzer

"Breathalyzer"*

*Following a really good party one night, the hosts
decided to leave he assorted bottles and dregs
until the next morning. As they staggered downstairs
next day, they found their young children finishing off
all that they could find, and looking the worse for wear.

Not knowing what to do, the father suggested taking
them out in the car for some fresh air. A traffic
policeman, seeing the car going round and round the
block for no reason, pulled him over and breathalyzed
him ... and the meter showed positive.

While matters were being sorted out, one of the children
asked the policeman if he could try the breathalyzer ...
and the meter again showed positive!

"Darn," said the policeman, "another faulty meter!" He
then apologized to the driver for stopping him, and
drove off without another word...

"A Good 'Little Johnny' Story"*

*Little Johnny has been bringing his drawings home
from kindergarten everyday since he started a month
ago. Each day his mother admires the pictures and
hangs them on the refrigerator. One thing starts
bothering her though. Little Johnny only uses black
and browns for his drawings.

Fearing a problem with her young son and not wanting
to make it worse, she decides to take him to a child psychologist.

The psychologist delicately goes to work. He gives
Johnny a battery of psychological tests. He chats with
Johnny. Everything seems perfectly normal. Everyday
for two weeks, the tests continue. Yet everyday, little
Johnny continues to bring home drawings in only black and brown.

Frustrated at not being able to get to the root of the
problem and fearful that something is terribly wrong,
the child psychologist decides to give little Johnny some
paper and a box of crayons and observe what happens.

Little Johnny opens the box of crayons and says, "Oh
boy! A new box of crayons! At school we only have old
boxes. The only ones left in mine are black and brown!"
