Saturday's Smiles



A friend asked a gentleman how it is that he never married?
The gentleman replied, "Well, I guess I just never met the right woman. I guess I've been looking for the perfect girl."
"Oh, come on now," said the friend, "surely you have met at least on girl that you wanted to marry."
"Yes, there was one girl once. I guess she was the one perfect girl. The only perfect girl I really ever met. She was just the right everything. I really mean that she was the perfect girl for me."
"Well, why didn't you marry her," asked the friend.
"She was looking for the perfect man," he said.

The other day while driving home, after being delayed at my office, I suddenly saw flashing lights in my rearview mirror.The police officer pulled me over for speeding.
Hoping for a little leniency, I explained to him that I was rushing home to be with my wife on our first anniversary.
But rather than letting me off with just a warning, he went ahead and wrote out the ticket, handed it to me, and said, "Congratulations! The first year is paper, right?”

During his freshman year, my son Steve couldn't get home for Christmas. So he sent me a set of inexpensive cuff links and a note reading:
"Dear Dad, This is not much, but it's all you could afford.”

Our seven-year-old daughter was thrilled when we took her to Disney World for the first time and she headed straight for Space Mountain . I worried that the roller coaster would be too scary for her, but she insisted. To her delight, we rode it twice.
The next year we returned to Magic Kingdom and my daughter, now eight, again dragged me to Space Mountain . As we stood in line, I could see her soberly studying the signs that warn about the ride's speed.
"Dad," she said, "I don't think I want to go."
I asked her why she would be nervous when she had enjoyed herself last time.
She replied, "This year I can read better!”

I haven’t seen the dog since the New Year’s Eve party!
