Not Fit for Print

Reverend Smith, a respected church leader,

arrived in a large city to deliver a series of

speeches. At a banquet the first evening,

he noticed some reporters in the audience.

Because he wanted to use some of the

stories he told that night in his speeches

 the next day, he asked the reporters to

omit them from their articles. One article

that came out the next day, written by a

cub reporter, concluded with this line:

"Reverend Smith also told a number of

stories that cannot be printed."

Smart Son

While on maternity leave, a woman from

our office brought in her new bundle of joy.

She also had her seven-year-old son with her.

Everyone gathered around the baby,

and the little boy asked, "Mommy, can I

have some money to buy a soda?"

"What do you say?" she asked.

Respectfully, the boy replied,

"You're thin and beautiful."

The woman reached in her purse

 and gave her son the money.
