"LOL!!!"

Recently I was rummaging through a heap of old magazines. After a few minutes I found myself, sprawled in the corner of the room, catching up with the old times, grinning at the comic strips and anecdotes. For the ones who are dying to have a laugh right now, here are a few anecdotes I found quite amusing... :)

Last Laugh

My husband, Dennis, spends five months of the year traveling on business. One day, during his absence, my daughter awoke with an ear infection. We went immediately to the doctor and then to the pharmacy, where we had a long wait at the prescription counter.

Once home, I read the medical bottle. Along with the instructions was typed, "Thank you, Dennis." I was livid! Dennis wasn't even in the area. I knew how busy the pharmacy was, but I had to make my point.

When a woman answered the phone, I snapped, "I just left your pharmacy. I took my child to the doctor, I had the prescription filled and I wrote the cheque. Can you explain why your establishment sees fit to thank my husband instead of me for my patronage?"

The woman gently interrupted my tirade. "Ma'am," she said, " our pharmacist's name is Dennis. He was thanking you."

I'll bet they're still laughing.

City Slick

A commuting passenger sitting on a train reading a paperback was so sprawled out in the seat that the woman next to him had very little room. When she asked if he could move a bit, he refused. Just then, a man opposite them yelled,

"Why don't you sit like a human being?"

"What are you going to do if I don't?" came the reply.

"Well, for one thing, I'll tell you how that book ends."

Not your fault!

My University professor solemnly addressed the day after a big assignment had been due.

"Many of you know me," he intoned. "And many of you have met my dog, Gus. Obviously, one of you has not."

“I apologize to whoever slipped an assignment under my office door," he continued.
"My dog ate your homework."

Try Again

My husband was away on a business trip, leaving our seven-year-old daughter and me to enjoy some time ourselves. After dinner, we baked biscuits and read stories until she asked to watch a television show. We were sitting on the sofa a bit apart from each other, and feeling a special warmth, I said, "Move closer, sweetie."

She promptly got up and sat in front of the TV.
