A LITTLE HUMOR FOR A SNOWY DAY

Some time ago, a New Bedford, Massachusetts resident sent me this item that appeared in a local newspaper:

During a drive through Freetown a guy from New Bedford collided with a truck carrying a horse.

A few months later, he tried to collect damages for his injuries.

"How can you now claim to have all those injuries?" asked the insurance company's lawyer. "According to the police report, at the time you said you were not hurt."

"Look," replied the city boy. "I was lying on the road in a lot of pain, and I heard someone say the horse had a broken leg.  The next thing I know this Freetown cop pulls out his gun and shoots the horse. Then he turns to me and asks 'Are you okay?" 

(Some folks in New Bedford look at Freetown folks as "Hillbillies.)

Readers Digest recently reported:

A zookeeper spotted a visitor throwing $10 bills into the elephant exhibit.

"Why are you doing that?" asked the keeper.

"The sign says it's ok," replied the visitor.

"No, it doesn't."

"Yes it does.  It says "Do not feed.  $10 fine."

The telemarketer did his best to convince me to renew my subscription for another year.  "At this price, it's really a great bargain," he said.

"I'm elderly," I laughed.  "I might die before the subscription ends."

"No problem," he assured me. "You'll get a refund."
