‘A Laugh a day keeps the Doctor away’
“He who laughs, lasts!”
Mary Pettibone Poole
The Wise Ones, knowing the true nature of things,
live in harmony and peace with themselves,
with others and the outside world.

“Let’s Get Married” An ugly looking but brilliant
doctor once told a dull-witted
but very pretty nurse, “Even
though you have little brains,
your looks are simply great!”
“Oh, thank you, Doctor,” the
dumb nurse said happily. “You
know, how great it’d be if we
were to get married …we’ll
have children with your
intelligence and my looks.”
“What if our children have my
looks and your brains?” the
doctor remarked.
We cannot assume that things
will turn out the way we want
them to. Fantasy and reality
can be worlds apart.

A man once budged his way into
a conference hall. As he had no
name tag, the usher threw him
out of the side exit .
“Hey,” the man said. “Do you
know that I belong to a very
important family in town?”
The usher apologized to the
man, got him into the hall again,
and then threw him out through
the main door.
Some people feel they are very
important and should be
accorded special treatment or
privilege. They may be in for a
surprise!

V.I.P.

A miser needed a hearing aid but he
was unwilling to spend much money.
“How much does a pair cost?” he
asked the sales person.
“Oh, it can range between $2 and
$2000,” the sales person replied.
“I’ll try the $2 model,” the miser said.
The sales person helped the miser put
on the hearing device.
“It doesn’t work,” the miser said.
“What do you expect of a $2 thing?
Anyway people will talk louder when
they see you wearing it!” the salesman
said. The miser happily bought it.
A miserly person can be very
unreasonable or irrational in his
way of living all because of
money.

The Cheating
Husband
A wife slapped her husband at
the face after discovering a piece
of paper with the name
Pattylou written on it.
“It was the name of a horse I bet
on yesterday,” the husband
protested vehemently.
The following day the wife
slapped the husband again.
“What was that for?” he asked.
“Your horse called last night,”
the wife replied.
Husbands who cheat on
their wives and lie to them
will in no time be found out
with disastrous
consequences.

“I know what you
are up to now…”
Husband: Darling, I’ve
turned over a new leaf.
See …no more strands of
ladies’ hair on my shirt. I
don’t fool around with
women anymore.
Wife: Some of my
friends said that they
have seen you visiting
temples. No ladies’ hair
on your shirt? You are
now fooling around with
nuns!
The jealousy of a wife can be
most irrational. This can lead to
marital problems.

An
Anniversary
A married couple, both 60 years old, were celebrating their 35th wedding
Anniversary. During their party, a wizard appeared to congratulate them
and grant them each one wish. The wife wanted to travel around the
world and poof – the wife had tickets in her hand for a world cruise.
Next, the wizard asked the husband what he wanted. He said, “I wish I
had a wife 30 years younger than me.”
The wizard picked up his wand and poof – the husband was 90 years old.
Unwholesome wishes sometimes come true in a most unexpected
manner to the disappointment or detriment of the wisher.

A little 6-year old girl returned from her first day in
kindergarten. She was crying and her mother asked her
what the problem was. The little girl showed her mother a
form listing her name, address, class, sex
and some other particulars.
“Mummy, mummy, look!” she cried pointing to one part of
the form. “The teacher gave me an ‘F’ in SEX and I haven’t
even learnt about the subject yet!”
In today’s ‘rat race’ society, even little children get stressed up

A couple was having a heated argument over their teenage daughter’s dressing
when she was about to go out on a date one night.
You should be more strict with your daughter’s dressing!” the wife screamed at
her husband. “She’s almost naked …bras, hot pants …you know, she could be
molested or raped!”
“You have a short-term memory,” the husband shouted back at the wife.
“Eighteen years ago when I dated you out one night, you were even more scantily
dressed!”
It’s easy to see others’ faults but oftentimes one cannot remember or see one’s
own faults. Today we see many parents not acting as good role models for their
children. This is one of the factors contributing to so many teenage problems in
society today.
