I like this one. Thanks to Robin in Ohio for sending it in.

Feeling listless, I bought some expensive "brain-stimulating" pills at
the health food store. But it wasn't until I got home that I read the
label. "This is just rosemary extract," I complained to my husband. "I
can't believe I spent all that money for something that I have growing like wild in the yard!"

"See?" he said. "You're smarter already."
