My sister gave me a 13" TV for my birthday. She had gotten it for free when she
bought a used console TV for the living room. The original owners said they
didn't use the 13" TV much because it would shut off after a while. After
checking out the on-screen menu features, I found there was a sleep timer set
for 90 minutes!

A father is having a problem getting his five-year-old daughter to fall asleep.
Finally, she suggests, "Daddy, why don’t you just whisper something into my ear

Unable to take his Spanish royalties out of the country, British novelist W.
Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) decided to use the money to pay for a luxury
holiday there. He chose one of the best hotels and dined extravagantly every
evening, until he felt satisfied that he had spent most of the accumulated sum.
He informed the manager that he would be leaving the following day, and asked
for his bill. The manager beamed at his distinguished guest. "It has been an
honor having you here," he replied. "You have brought much good publicity to us.
Therefore, there is no bill."

When I arrived at the hotel for our wedding reception, I discovered that the
bride-and-groom decoration on top of the cake had fallen off and smashed. I was
very upset. My mom immediately started phoning to see if anyone in the city had
a similar cake top and she found a place in one of the malls. She offered to
pick it up, but because it was such an important part of my wedding day, I said
I'd go with her. The limousine let us out at the mall. As I held the ten-foot
train of my wedding gown in one hand and my headpiece with the other, we made
our way to the entrance. An older gentleman held the door open for me, and as I
passed, he said: "Couldn't leave the shopping alone even for your wedding day,
eh?"

Years ago, Uncle Eddie had planted an apple tree and fussed over it as though it
was a family pet. Finally it yielded its first solitary apple. My six-year-old
brother, Garry, had been eyeing the unripened fruit all day.
Eddie told him that under no circumstances was he to pick it. A short while
later Eddie went back to the garden and found Garry sitting on top of the picnic
table. "Did you pick that apple?" Eddie asked him.
"Nope," Garry replied. And he hadn't - the core was still attached to the tree.

When my husband, Ron, and I were newlyweds, we lived in a small country town
where he was a heavy-equipment operator. When his company received a job out of
town, Ron's boss telephoned to persuade me to accept the position of camp cook.
I explained that I had cooked for small private dinner parties, but never for
anything larger than six people at once. "Oh, it's easy to cook for 15 or 20
men," he replied enthusiastically. "All you have to do is use bigger pots."

Sanford's son?" --Jay Leno
"President Bush is beating the August heat the same way he always does -- with a
vacation on his ranch in Texas. This will be his shortest vacation since he's
taken office. Usually he takes a full month, this time only ten days. I guess
he's saving up the personal days so he can skip the last three months of his
presidency." --Jimmy Kimmel
"The weirder you're going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works
