Say good night Greg.]<\/p>\n<p><b><u>A Sunday Drive<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. <\/p>\n<p>He thinks to himself, &#8220;This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!&#8221; So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. <\/p>\n<p>Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies-two in the front seat and three in the back-wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, &#8220;Officer, I don&#8217;t understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ma&#8217;am,&#8221; the officer replies, &#8220;you weren&#8217;t speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly&#8230;Twenty- two miles an hour!&#8221; the old woman says a bit proudly. <\/p>\n<p>The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that &#8220;22&#8221; was the route number, not the speed limit. <\/p>\n<p>A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But before I let you go, Ma&#8217;am, I have to ask&#8230; is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven&#8217;t muttered a single peep this whole time,&#8221; the officer asks with concern. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, they&#8217;ll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><u>Best Patients<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients on the operating table. The first surgeon says, &#8220;I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.&#8221; The second responds, &#8220;Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded.&#8221; The third surgeon says, &#8220;No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.&#8221; The fourth surgeon chimes in: &#8220;You know, I like construction workers&#8230;those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.&#8221; But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: &#8220;You&#8217;re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There&#8217;s no guts, no heart, and no spine, and the head and butt are interchangeable.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Ed.
