Life
Once upon a time, there lived a farmer who owned a big hayfield. The farmer's son decided he would go to the city to earn his living, so one day he packed all his bags and left home. But when he got to the city, the best he could do was a job as a bootblack at the railroad station...
...Now the father makes hay while the son shines.

In a U.S. Western town, a notice runs thus: "In this town, last year, 4029 died of gas. 2 inhaled it; 27 put a match to it; 4000 stepped on it."

Guest to lift man: "Why do you keep calling me 'son'?"
"Well I brought you up, didn't I?"

A policeman stopped a lady and asked for her license. He said "Lady it says here you should be wearing glasses".
"Well I have contacts..." the woman answered.
"I don't care who you know, you're still getting a ticket!"

A woman walks into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist for some arsenic.
He asks, "What for?"
She responds, "I want to kill my husband."
He says, "Sorry, I can't do that."
She then reaches into her handbag and pulls out a photo of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.
He says, "You didn't tell me you had a prescription..."

An old blacksmith relized he was soon going to quit working so hard. He picked out a strong young man to become his apprentice. The old fellow was crabby and exacting. "Don't ask me a lot of questions," he told the boy. "Just do whatever I tell you to do."
One day the old blacksmith took an iron out of the forge and laid it on the anvil. "Get the hammer over there," he said. "When I nod my head, hit it real good and hard." Now the town is looking for a new blacksmith.

Beware of the Dog!
Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign saying; DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG! posted on the glass door. Inside he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor besides the cash register. He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to beware of?"
"Yep, that's him," he replied.
The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me....Why in the world would you post that sign?"
"Because"; the owner replied, "before I posted that sign....people kept tripping over him."
