It is the Christmas season and the judge is in a benevolent mood. He asks the accused man: βWell, Mr Jones, what crime were you accused of committing this time of the year?β
βDoing my Christmas shopping early, your honour,β replies Mr Jones humbly.
βThatβs no crime,β comments the judge. βWhat time did you do your early Christmas shopping?β
βJust before the store opened.β
A woman came up behind her husband while he was enjoying his morning coffee and slapped him on the back of the head.
βI found a piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name βMary-louβ written on it,β she said, furious. βYou had better have an explanation.β
βCalm down, honey,β the man replied. βRemember last week when I was at the dog track? That was the name of the dog I bet on.β
The next morning, his wife snuck up on him and smacked him again.
βWhat was that for?β he complained.
βYour dog called last night.β
Grandma and Grandpa were sitting in their porch rockers watching the beautiful sunset and reminiscing about βthe good old daysβ, when Grandma turned to Grandpa and said: βHoney, do you remember when we first started dating and you used to just casually reach over and take my hand?β
Grandpa looked over at her, smiled and took her aged hand in his. With a wry little smile Grandma pressed a little farther: βHoney, do you remember how after we were engaged youβd sometimes lean over and suddenly kiss me on the cheek?β
Grandpa leaned slowly toward Grandma and gave her a lingering kiss on her wrinkled cheek.
Growing bolder still, Grandma said: βHoney, do you remember how, after we were first married, youβd kind of nibble on my ear?β
Grandpa slowly got up from his rocker and headed into the house. Alarmed, Grandma said: βHoney, where are you going?β
Grandpa replied: βTo get my teeth!β
