    ***** Out of sight *****
    At a Long Island house party, a chap invited an attractive girl to go fishing with him on the Sound. After an hour without any luck, he asked, "Do you think we ought to try chumming?"
    His companion, a novice at fishing, looked toward the house on the distant shore, then replied, "We might as well. They can't see us from there."

    ***** Practicing her backhand *****
    While I was making farewell visits before moving to a new parish, an elderly member of the congregation paid me the compliment of suggesting that my successor would not be as good as I had been.
    "Nonsense," I replied, flattered.
    "No, really," she insisted. "I've lived here under five different ministers, and each new one has been worse than the last."

    ***** Birthday boy *****
    I was administering an achievement test to David, a precocious six-year-old, and I began by asking him when his birthday was.
    "February 20," was his quick response.
    Next I asked him, "What year, David?"
    He looked at me quizzically at first and then hit upon the obvious answer. "Every year," he said.

    ***** Landing gear *****
    The topic of the day at Army Airborne School was what you should do if your parachute malfunctions. We had just gotten to the part about reserve
    parachutes when another student raised his hand.
    "If the main parachute malfunctions," he said, "how long do we have to deploy the reserve?"
    Looking the trooper square in the face, the instructor replied, "The rest of your life."

    A gawky lad from New England came to New York with his girl, and took her to nearby Playland Amusement Park. They had heard a lot about the Tunnel of Love and were especially anxious to try it out. But when they got home, the kids expressed disappointment.
    "Shucks," the boy said, "it was dark and damp and uncomfortable. Besides, we got soaking wet."
    "How come?" asked a friend. "Did the boat leak?"
    The kid looked amazed. "There's a boat?"

    ***** Kid's logic *****
    A Stanford University professor took his young son with him on a trip across the country. One day after their return, a package was delivered with postage due. Neither the professor nor his wife had the necessary $3, but their son produced it. Surprised, his mother asked how he came to have that much money. "Well," he said, "Dad was awfully careless with money on our trip and nearly always left some on the table when we ate. So I just picked it up."

    Three rough-looking bikers stomp into a truck stop where a grizzled old-timer is having breakfast.
    One of the bikers extinguishes his cigarette in the old guy's pancakes. The second biker spits a wad of chewing tobacco into his coffee. The third biker dumps the whole plate onto the floor.
    Without a word of protest, the old guy pays his bill and leaves.
    "Not much of a man, was he?" says one of the bikers.
    "Not much of a driver, either," says the waitress. "He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."

    When my brother began his psychiatric practice, his first patient was a particularly good-looking young woman. My brother motioned for her to lie down on the couch, but the woman hesitated until he reassured her that it was part of the therapy procedure. Once on the couch, she smoothed her dress around her legs and began to relax a bit.
