STORY #62

Look Before You Leap

One afternoon, Mrs. Thompson’s mobile rang. “Mrs. Thomson?” A male voice said, “This is the new accountant your husband hired-- I have bad news.” She gripped the phone--“What is it?” The man replied, “Your entire portfolio is about to go down the loo, and I can’t reach your husband--you should sell, before you lose everything.”

Immediately, Mrs. Thompson got hold of her broker told him to sell--at a huge loss. The phone rang, “Mrs. Thompson, I forgot. Tell Harry to hock the jewelry, as well.” “Harry?” Mrs. Thomson exclaimed, “But my husband is Gerald!” “Oh. Sorry, wrong number.”

STORY #61

The Capture of The Yellowstone Kid

Rancher Joe Davis took a newlywed couple on a ride in the brand new Yellowstone National Park. They rounded a bend, only to be faced by a shotgun-wielding outlaw. “Up with your hands!” Commanded the masked man.

The men submitted meekly--something about staring at a double-barreled shotgun will make you do that. While the outlaw relieved the men of their cash and watches, the bride pulled a derringer from her purse--meaningfully pointing it, at a certain part of the robber’s lower anatomy. He had no choice but to disarm and surrender--either that, or learn to sing soprano.
