"Well," said the man, "enough to build a home for myself and one for each of my kids as well as a cottage." The priest replied, "this is very serious, have you ever done a retreat?" "No Father, I haven't," replied the man, "but if you get me the plans I can get the lumber!" ************* There are three good reasons for being a conservationist: 1 - You will help prevent the destruction of the world as we know it. 2 - You will save thousands of endangered species. 3 - You will have a good excuse NOT to buy your wife a fur coat! ************ Consumer Alert: At the top of the list of newly released products you should not buy are the new inflatable dart boards! ************ Today's housewife really enjoys cooking, especially when it is done by the chef at one of the better restaurants in town! ************* A wife met her husband at the door as he came home from work.
