Fixing the Headstone
Once, there
were two men walking home after a Halloween party. They decided to take a
shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the
cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-taping noise coming from the misty
shadows.
Trembling with fear, they found an old man
with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
“Holy
cow, Mister,” one of them said after catching his breath, “You scared us half
to death, chipping away at one of the headstones.
! What are you doing working here so late
at night?”
“Those
fools!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelled my name!”

The Brain Bank
It seems there was a woman who
received some bad news. Her husband had been in an automobile accident and was
brain dead. The doctor told her some good news, though. They had perfected
their brain transplant technique and that she was lucky there were three fresh
brains in the brain bank from which to choose.
A large explosion had killed a
firefighter, a captain and a chief. Having insurance, she requested the cost
for each the brains. The firefighter’s brain was $10,000, the captain’s brain
was $50,000 and the chief was a Million Dollars! Curious, she asked why the
chief’s brain was so much more expensive.
The reply…… you see the chief’s
brain has never been used!
