A small boy stood in front of the shoemaker’s store watching the man at work.
“What do you fix shoes with, Mister?” he asked.
“Hide,” replied the shoemaker.
“What?” asked the boy.

“I don’t care if it is, I’m not afraid of a cow,” the young boy replied.

Morris had been playing golf for years, and he had the finest equipment, but his technique never improved a bit.
As his friend watched, he teed up at the first hole and promptly drove a brand-new ball into the woods. On the second hole, he drove another new ball into a lake. On the third, he lost a new ball in another part of the woods.
"Why don't you use an old ball?" his friend Sam asked.
"I've never had an old ball," Morris said.
