While I was serving as a juror, I chanced to share the elevator one morning with a visiting judge. He asked me where the jurors parked, and I informed him that we had our own lot several blocks away.

Then it occurred to me that he might be having a problem finding a place for his car, so I continued, "but, Your Honor, they have a special place reserved for judges down below."

"Yes," he said dryly, "I'm sure they do."

Phil was driving down a country road late one night when he felt a big thud. He got out of the car and looked around, but the road was empty. Since there was nothing else to be done, Phil drove on home. In the morning the sheriff was standing at his doorstep.

"You're under arrest for hitting a pig and leaving the scene," the lawman told him with a frown. "Please come with me."

Phil couldn't believe his ears. "But how could you possibly know that's what happened?" he asked.

"It wasn't hard," the sheriff replied. "The pig squealed."

One afternoon I was walking on a trail with my newborn daughter, chatting to her about the scenery. When a man and his dog approached, I leaned into the baby carriage and said, "See the doggy?"

Suddenly I felt a little silly talking to my baby as if she understood me.

But just as the man passed, I noticed he reached down, patted his dog and said, "See the baby?"

My Dad's favorite joke is indelible:

Joe is a new man on a construction crew. The first day on the job, he opens his lunch box and mumbles, “Oh no, peanut butter!”

The next day, “Peanut butter again!”

This goes on for days, until another worker says, “Why don’t you ask your wife to make a different lunch?”
