After dinner one evening a the President was entertaining their house guest by playing the piano.
At one point he turned to the visitor and said, "I understand you love music?"
"Yes," murmured the guest politely. "But never you mind, you keep right on playing..."
My husband and I had gone to a restaurant with friends. When the hostess led us to a circular booth, we noticed the vinyl seat was covered with crumbs and asked if it could be cleaned off.
The young woman sat down at one end of the booth, slid around to the other side, then sprang up with a smile as she asked, "Did I get it all?"
"Wise men are always in doubt. Only idiots are sure of their case."
"Are you sure of that?"
"Yes, absolutely."
A preacher stood up before his congregation and said, "I have so much to say, I don't know where to begin."
Someone in the pew shouted, "How about somewhere close to the end?"
