Home Early
Little Dewey burst through the front door with a smile on his face. Surprised, his mother asked, “Why are you home from school so early?”
Dewey said, “They let me go early because I was the only one who could answer a tough question.”
“Oh, really? What was the question?” his mother asked.
“‘Who threw the eraser at the teacher?'”
Rat Presentation
Rodents had overrun a posh private school in Johannesburg. So the headmaster asked a health inspector to deliver a slide presentation to teachers and students, showing how to remedy the situation, i.e., stow trash, no food in class, etc.
The following day, a teacher had her very young children write a letter to the inspector, thanking him for the visit. One of the students wrote:
Dear Mr. Dawson,
Thank you for coming to my school. Until I met you, I didn’t know what a rat looked like.” Sincerely, Bobby Jones
Charitable Giving
A large, well built man visited the church and asked to see the pastor’s wife, who was well known for her charity.
As he spoke to her he said in a voice breaking with emotion, ‘I’d like to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family in this neighborhood. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine children are starving. They are about to be turned out into the cold streets unless someone pays their R 6000 rent that is past due’
‘How frightful!’ exclaimed the pastor’s wife. ‘May I ask who you are?’
The enormous visitor wiped his eyes with his handkerchief and wailed, ‘I’m their landlord’
