Little Mary

Little Mary was attending a wedding for the first time. As she
sat in the church, she watched the bride slowly approach the
altar. Mary whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride
dressed in white?"

"Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the
happiest day of her life," her mother tried to explain, keeping
it simple.

The child thought about this for a moment, then said... "So
why is the groom wearing black?"

The Reporter

A reporter from New York was visiting an old colleague who
now edited a newspaper in a tiny Vermont town.

"I don't see how you do it," the NY reporter said. "How can
you drum up interest in the news when everybody in town
knows what everybody else is doing?"

"Sure they know," the editor said, "but they read the paper
to see who got caught at it...."

For Dummies

When Jill decided to improve her computer skills, she threw
herself into it with enthusiasm. Every week she'd check out
two or three instructional books from the library.

After about a month the librarian commented, "Wow! You must
really be getting knowledgeable at this stuff."

"Thanks," Jill said. "What makes you say that?"

The librarian answered, "Only one of the books you're checking
out this week has 'For Dummies' in the title."
