Garbage collectors were picking up our trash as my wife walked back into our house. A particular barrel was very heavy.
“Lady, we can’t take this,” one man called out. “It’s way over the weight limit.”
My wife turned her eight-month-pregnant figure toward him. “It didn’t seem that heavy when I carried it out,” she said.
Without another word, the man emptied the barrel into the truck.
Why did the man show up for jury duty with a towel and sunscreen?
Because when he called in to make sure he had to come downtown to serve, the jury coordinator told him to come prepared to stay all day in the jury pool.
"I saw the doctor you told us to see."
"Did you tell him I sent you?"
"Yes, I did."
"What did he say?"
"He asked me to pay in advance."
The idea that no one is perfect is a view most commonly held by people with no grandchildren.
