What is it you want me to do?
I’ve got Christmas parties to attend,
goodies to bake,
presents to wrap,
cards to deliver,
a house to clean and decorate,
shopping to do,
and phone calls to make.
I can’t add anything to
my already packed schedule!

Oh! Is that all? Okay!

Happy Birthday, G-Man!

“I can’t take algebra,” Jacob explained, “Because exponents are against my religion.”

“That’s preposterous!” The dean snapped.

“I am an atheist,” Jacob explained. “I don’t believe in higher powers.”

To improve morale, a mine owner bought a piano for sub-level seven. From there ventilation shafts would carry the music throughout the mine. Unfortunately during installation the winch broke dropping the piano. Upon hearing a scream and a crash, the mine owner demanded, “What was that noise?”

“I believe,” his foreman answered, “A flat minor.”
