SUNDAY DINNERS with my mother Adah, my father Fred and my three siblings were always lively. On one occasion all of us except my mother were in a silly mood, and we began requesting, in rhyme, items at the table. "Please pass the meat, Pete." "May I have a potatah, Adah." "I'd give you the moon for a spoon." After several minutes of this, my mother had heard enough. "Stop this nonsense right now!" she shouted. "It's Sunday, and I would like to enjoy my dinner with some good conversation, not all this silly chatter." Then she sat down, still in a huff, turned to my father and snapped, "Pass the bread, Fred."

A lawyer died and went to heaven. St. Peter met him at the Pearly Gates with a host of Angels and ushered him into heaven ahead of everyone else.

The lawyer asked, "Why all this special treatment?"

St. Peter replied, "We don't get very many of your profession up here."

Quick Wit:

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
