Subject: The Wine and the Hitch Hiker

A salesman is driving toward home in northern Ontario when he sees an Indian thumbing for a ride on the side of the road. As the trip has been long and quiet, he stops the car and the Indian gets in. After a bit of small talk, the Indian notices a brown bag on the front seat. "What's in the bag?", asks the Indian. "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my wife", says the salesman. The Indian is silent for a moment then says, "Good trade."

EMPLOYING RHYME as well as reason, the Michigan court of appeals upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit seeking special damages for injuries to a tree hit by a car. In a unanimous decision written by Judge John H. Gillis, the court declared: We thought that we would never see A suit to compensate a tree. A suit whose claim in tort is prest Upon a mangled tree's behest; A tree whose battered trunk was prest Against a Chevy's crumpled crest; A tree that faces each new day With bark and limb in disarray; A tree that may forever bear A lasting need for tender care. Flora lovers though we three, We must uphold the court's decree. -- Contributed to Reader's Digest "All In a Day's Work" by The American Bar Association Journal "My wife and I were happy for twenty years.

Stuck

A man decides to take the opportunity, while his wife is away, to paint the toilet seat. The wife comes home sooner than expected, sits, and gets the seat stuck to her rear. She is distraught about this and asks her husband to drive her to the doctor. She puts on a large overcoat and they go.

When they get to the doctor's, the man lifts his wife's coat to show their predicament. The man asks, "Doctor, have you ever seen anything like this before?"

"Well yes," the doctor replies, "but not framed like that."

QUICK WIT

Wife: Let's go out and have some fun tonight.

Husband: Okay, but if you get home before I do, leave the hallway light on.
