A boy and a barber.

Email from Lesley Sirimanne

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you." 

The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?" The boy takes the quarters and leaves. 

"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!" 

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. 

"Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?" 

The boy licked his cone and replied, 

"Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!"

A different Surgeon.

email from Lesley Sirimanne

A surgeon was checking on a patient who had a hernia operation three days before. 

The doctor asked the man why he had not gotten out of bed. 

"I hurt," the man said. "You dont know how it feels." 

"I know exactly how it feels," the doctor said. "I had the same procedure last month, and I was back at work two days later. There

s no difference in our operations." 

"Oh yes there is," said the patient. "You had a different surgeon."

A child's tale.

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai This tale is about the bond formed between a little girl and a group of building workers. It's allegedly true and might help to confirm your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race.................... A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day a gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in the activity going on next door and hung around. Eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled her immensely. At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a pay envelope - containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the bank the next day to open a savings account. At the bank, the female cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she now had a 'pay packet'.  'You must have worked very hard to earn all this', said the cashier. The little girl proudly replied, 'Yes, I worked every day with Steve and Wayne and Mike. We're building a big house.' 'My goodness gracious,' said the cashier, 'And will you be working on the house again next week?'  The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously: 'I think so......provided those wankers at Jewsons deliver the f***ing  bricks on time.'

Signs that make you smile.
