George and Mary were celebrating their 50th anniversary and were spending the night in the famous Washington DC Watergate Hotel. After retiring at midnight Mary recalled the spy story at the Watergate and asked her husband to get up and check the room.

Disgruntled he looked behind the mirror, the pictures, under the bed and finally under the big circular carpet in the center of the room under the chandelier. Mary exclaimed, "There, look, there is a big plate there, look under it."

Fortunately George had his Swiss Army knife and unscrewed the four large screws, finding nothing. Satisfied the room was not bugged they both went to sleep. Upon checkout the next morning the clerk asked them if they had any problems in their room last night. No, they replied and asked why he asked.

He told them that at midnight the room under them had the chandelier fall down in the center of their room.

How is it truly possible to have a "civil" war?

The local pastor was making his annual visit and was invited to dinner at the Brown family. As Mr. and Mrs. Brown prepared dinner in the kitchen, the pastor was sitting with their five year old son in living room.

The pastor asked the boy what he expected they were going to have for dinner. The boy immediately replied, "goat".

Thinking this was rather strange he asked, "What makes you think we are going to have goat for dinner?"

The boy replied, "I heard dad tell mom they were having the old goat for dinner tonight."
