The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them
each to buy a copy of the group picture. “Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Jennifer; she’s a lawyer,’ or ‘That’s Michael, he’s a doctor.’” A small voice at the back of the room rang out, “And there’s the teacher; ...she’s dead.”I was wondering:
Is a chicken crossing the road considered “poultry in motion?”
If you keep trying to prove “Murphy's Law,” will something go wrong?
If you're an atheist and swear on the Bible, have you committed perjury?
When an elevator is overloaded with passengers, who is criminally responsible?
I’ll Bet You Didn’t Know and Didn’t Care…The dot over the letter “i” is called a ‘tittle’
A rat can last longer without water than a camel. (Have you ever seen a lawyer drink a glass of water?)

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, 12/2/08 @ 6:00 pm at The Saint John Bosco Auditorium. We are planning to go Christmas caroling in December to nursing homes, hospitals and to those who are “home-bound.” If you know anyone who is “home-bound,” please let us know. Why not go caroling with us? It’s a blast!

What do you say to a guitar player wearing a 3-piece suit?
“Will the defendant please rise.”
How can you tell which kid on the playground is the trombone player's kid?

Why are a violinist’s fingers like lightning?
They rarely strike the same spot twice.
