Warning
A police officer stopped a motorist for failing to come to a full stop at a stop sign and proceeded to give him a ticket.
The motorist protested, “Don’t I get a warning?”
The officer replied, “Sure. If you don’t come to a complete stop next time, you’ll get another ticket.”
Largest Amphibious Assault
I had been teaching my seventh-graders about World War II, and a test question was, “What was the largest amphibious assault of all time?”
Expecting to see “the D-Day invasion” as the answer, I found instead on one paper, “Moses and the plague of frogs.”
Sightseeing at Alcatraz
A couple with three children waited in line at San Francisco’s Pier 41 to purchase tickets for a sightseeing boat to Alcatraz Prison. The children weren’t good at waiting: they fidgeted, whined, and punched one another. The frazzled parents reprimanded them to no avail.
Finally they reached the ticket window.
“Five tickets, please,” the father said. “Two round trip, three one way.”
