WEBSIDE HUMOUR

Farm fresh

A Texas rancher, visiting a South Dakota farmer friend, asked him to show him his farm. After seeing the 1,000 acre spread, the Texan bragged that down home he could get into his car, drive all day, and by evening would not have gotten to the distant point of his ranch. The South Dakotan simply replied, "You know, I had a car like that once."

A prosecuting attorney just could not believe that a jury had found the defendant not guilty. Astonished, he asked the jury foreman, "How could you possibly have found this man innocent?" The foreman replied, "Insanity." The perplexed prosecutor asked, 12 of you?"

"Give me a sentence about one of the public servants we learned about today," said a teacher. One small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the boy aside to correct him. "Don’t you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," he said confidently. "It means carrying a child."

A boy was having a lot of difficulty in French class. To encourage him, his teacher said, "You’ll know you’re really beginning to get it when you start dreaming in French."

The boy ran into class all excited one day, saying, "Teacher, teacher! I had a dream last night and everyone was talking in French!" "Great!" said the teacher; "what were they saying?" "I don’t know," the boy replied; "I couldn’t understand them."

Teacher: "What do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested?"

Student: "A teacher."
