Last week my youngest son said to me, "Dad, I'm running down to the bank to pull some of my money out." Having worked around comedy for awhile, I saw my opportunity. So in return, I said, "Ok son, running is good excercise, but wouldn't you rather drive there in the car?"
My oldest son saw his opportunity also and asked, "Why do you need to pull it out? Is it stuck?" We all laughed at the humor.
That of course brings some interesting scenarios. Here is one. If the money was stuck, how did my son find out about it. Did the bank call? Or here is another. Perhaps he didn't get it all of the way into the bank. Then again, maybe there was something wrong with the money itself. Perhaps it was folded wrong and the bank couldn't get it unfolded for the transaction. Maybe it was crumpled.
However, being a proud father, I would like to think that he learned my stretching techniques and JUST FORGOT to take THE KNOT out of the end of his money and that is why it GOT STUCK.

There seems to be a lot of exercise going on in the shower. I hear friends and family say, "I am going to HOP in the shower." Sometimes I hear them say, "I am going to JUMP in the shower." I suppose they can get a WORKOUT in the shower and it does seem to be very popular.
Then there are those that GET into the shower. I do that myself. And then there are those that are DRAGGED into a shower. THAT can be a sobering experience. A few are so eager that they even THROW themselves into the shower!
But the one I like most of all are those that "TAKE a shower". Not only do they take a shower, but they ALWAYS BRAG about taking it afterwards. What kind of thief would steal something and then brag about it to the person they took it from?
All I can say is THANKS for being honest, but if you hadn't said anything about it, I would NEVER have known that ONE...WAS...MISSING!
