B: Really?
A: Yes, it’s just a couple of screws.

A: What did you say? I think I’ve gone deaf.
B: I’m going into the bathroom to blow my nose. I’ll be right back.

47. You Can Have Some of My Friends

A: I have lots of friends.
B: Really? How many do you have?
A: I don’t know, maybe one hundred.
B: That is a lot of friends. Do you have a best friend?
A: Of course. I have lots of best friends.
B: How many best friends do you have?

A: I don’t understand some things.
B: Let me help you.
A: What does “MI” mean?
B: “MI” stands for Middle Initial.
A: What does “MM/DD/YY” mean?
B: That means Month/Day/Year. Use numbers.

A: And eat too much.
B: Do you know which one he would like?
A: Oh, yes, I took him there yesterday. He showed me one that he really
liked.

55. The ATM

A: I’m going to the bank.
B: What do you need to do?
A: I need to withdraw some money.
B: How are you going to do that?
A: I’ll just use the ATM.
B: What’s that?
A: It’s the Automatic Teller Machine.
B: It gives you money?
A: I just insert my debit card into the machine.

A: Oh, no, you don’t.
B: What do you mean?
A: Every morning you get up late and rush off to work late.

B: They sure are.
A: Did you hear about the pilot?

highway.

B: What race is he?
A: They didn’t say.
B: The TV news doesn’t tell us the race anymore.
A: Of course not. That would be racist.
B: But how can we identify someone if we don’t know their race?
A: Don’t ask me.
B: Then they also shouldn’t tell us if the robber is male or female, because
that is sexist.

60. Use a Tissue

A: Don’t wipe your nose on your sleeve.
B: But I don’t have a tissue.
A: Then go find a tissue in the bathroom.
B: I didn’t have time to get one from there.
A: Your sleeves are not tissues.
B: But Mom, all my friends use their sleeves.
A: That doesn’t make it right.
B: I saw Dad wipe his nose on his sleeve yesterday.
A: I will talk to your father about that.
B: I bet Dad did it all the time when he was my age.
A: Your daddy was a good little boy.
B: How do you know? Were you his mommy, too?

61. Two Little Ones

A: I’m worried.
B: Worried about what?
A: I’m getting married.
B: You should be happy, not worried.
A: I am happy, but marriage is a lot of responsibility.

A: And I have to take care of our children.
B: Are you going to start a family?

B: Because you’re thinking too much.
A: So I should stop thinking?
B: Stop thinking about what the point is.
A: Okay. I’ll start thinking about having some fun.
B: Just be patient. Fun doesn’t come along every five minutes.

64. A Tough Choice

A: Beer is a powerful drug.
B: So are cigarettes.
A: Which would you prefer?
B: What do you mean?
A: When you die and go to heaven, they will offer you beer or cigarettes.
B: I could pick only one or the other?
A: Yes. Nothing’s perfect, not even in heaven.
B: Boy, that’s a tough one.
A: What’s so tough about it? Of course, I would pick cigarettes.
B: But cigarettes taste much better when you have a cold beer.
A: Well, you can’t have everything.
B: I don’t think I want to go to your heaven.

65. Patch It or Sew It?

A: My pants have a hole in the front pocket.
B: You shouldn’t carry pens in your pocket.
A: Yesterday a pen fell through my pants onto my shoe.
B: Lucky for you it wasn’t a sharp knife.
A: Who carries a sharp knife in their pocket?
B: Criminals, of course.
A: Anyway, I have to fix the hole.
B: You can sew it up or use an iron-on patch.
A: Tell me about this patch.
B: The patch has glue. The hot iron melts the glue so the patch sticks on.
A: That sounds a lot easier than sewing.
B: It is. But after about ten washings, the glue washes off.

B: Spanish is easy. I’ll be happy to teach you.
A: How long will it take me to learn?
B: I think it will only take you a year or two.
A: How soon can we begin?
B: Ahora! That means right now.

68. It’s the Only Earth We’ve Got

A: Do you know what today is?
B: Yes, it’s April 22.
A: It’s more than just a date.

A: No, it’s Earth Day.
B: What’s that?
A: It’s a yearly reminder to take care of our planet.
B: Oh, you mean like reuse things and recycle stuff?
A: Yes. We need to think green, save water, and stop using plastic bags.

B: From now on I’ll spend only 20 minutes in the shower.

69. No Time for Rhyme

A: Poetry sucks.
B: I don’t know anyone who likes it.
A: Some of it is okay, I guess.

B: But people still write poems.
A: No one makes any money at it.
B: Shakespeare was a poet.
A: Did he get rich from his poetry?
B: Probably not.
A: Poems are a little bit like songs.
B: Yes, but songs have music. Without music, songs would suck, too.

70. Dumb and Happy

A: How smart are you?
B: I don’t know. I think I’m average.

A: I wish I was really smart.
B: Don’t be ridiculous.
A: What do you mean?
B: If you’re going to make a wish, wish that you were really rich or famous.
A: Don’t you ever wonder what it’s like to be super-smart?
B: It must be very lonely.
A: Why’s that?
B: Because if you’re super-smart, no one understands what you’re saying.

71. Live from NBC 4!

A: I missed the TV news last night. What was on?
B: Nothing that would pass as news.

B: My wife and I will be cremated.
A: Are you going to be buried next to each other?
B: Oh, no. Our ashes will be shaken into the ocean.
A: You’re not going to be buried?
B: A coffin costs too much and takes up too much space.
A: Yes, but it will be in a cemetery where your children can visit you.
B: Children seldom visit their parents in a cemetery.
A: That’s true. A cemetery is for dead people, not living people.
B: We figure our kids can visit us whenever they go to the beach.

73. Wipe Your Feet

A: Did you wipe your feet?
B: Yes, of course I wiped my feet.
A: Then why is there mud on the carpet?

B: Look at the bottom of my shoes—they’re clean.
A: Of course they’re clean. You left all the mud on the carpet.
B: Okay, I’ll get the vacuum cleaner.
A: Don’t vacuum it now.
B: Don’t you want me to clean up the mud?
A: Wait till it dries. It will be easier to vacuum.
B: Next time I will be more careful.

A: Is that it?
B: Yes. That’s all I ever give her.
A: She raised you, and all you ever give her is a card?
B: It’s okay. She knows that I love her.

75. A New Flag

A: I don’t like our flag.
B: What’s the matter with it?
A: It’s too much like other flags.
B: Yes, a lot of flags have stripes.
A: A flag should be pretty.
B: What should our flag look like?
A: It should have a pretty woman on it.
B: That’s ridiculous!
A: You don’t like pretty women?
B: Of course I do. But not on our flag!
A: Every nation should have a pretty woman on their flag.
B: You can’t go to war carrying a flag with a woman on it!

A: And then I made lunch.
B: I’ll bet you were hungry!

77. Dialing for a Dollar

A: I don’t have long distance service with my home phone.
B: So how do you make long distance calls?
A: I use a calling card.
B: Where do you get that?
A: I buy it at the dollar store.
B: How much is it?
A: It’s one dollar for 100 minutes.
B: That’s only a penny a minute!
A: It’s a great price. But you have to dial a lot of numbers.
B: How many?
A: First you dial seven numbers, then ten numbers, then ten more
numbers.
B: Yikes. I think I’ll keep my long distance service.

School Life

A: But I stopped!
B: No, you didn’t. You slowed down, but you didn’t come to a full stop.

the hood.
