THE ESCAPE ARTIST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure
at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high,
the zoo officials put up a ten foot fence.
Again the kangaroo was out the next morning,
just roaming around the zoo. The fence was
then extended to twenty feet high. But the
kangaroo was out again the next morning.
Frustrated, the the zoo officials built a
fence forty feet high. A camel in the next
enclosure asked the kangaroo, "How much higher
do you think they'll go?"
The kangaroo said, "About a thousand feet.
Unless somebody locks the gate at night!"
The Reason For Divorce
-----------------------
The other day at work I ran into Bob.
We chatted over lunch and he dropped a
bombshell on me. "Rodney" he said,
"Becky and I are going to get a divorce".
I was stunned. "Why? What happened,
you two seem so happy together"
"Well" he said, "ever since we got married,
my wife has tried to change me. She got me
to stop drinking, smoking, running around at
all hours of the night and more. She taught
me how to dress well, enjoy the fine arts,
gourmet cooking, classical music and how
to invest in the stock market."
"Are you a little bitter because she spent
so much time trying to change you." I probed.
"Nah, I'm not bitter. Now that I'm so improved,
she just isn't good enough for me."
