    A father was dropping his son off at daycare the other day and overheard
    some of the children talking about their siblings.

    "My brother takes karate lessons," bragged one.

    "My sister takes gymnastics," said another.

    Not to be outdone, the youngest piped up, "My sister takes antibiotics!"



    A young man who was also an avid golfer found himself with a few hours
    to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast,
    he could get in 9 holes before he had to head home.

    Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman shuffled onto the tee
    and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone.
    Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him.

    To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit the
    ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time.

    Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young man found himself
    with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his
    ball, directly between the ball and the green.

    After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old man
    finally said, "You know, when I was your age I'd hit the ball right over
    that tree."

    With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the
    ball up, right smack into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back
    on the ground not a foot from where it had originally lay.

    The old man offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your age
    that pine tree was only 3 feet tall."



    The following is a funny and true story shared by KC Williams who
    teaches AP Government at Santa Fe High School. In one of KC's classes,
    they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United
    States . It was pretty simple.

    The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of
    age.

    However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was
    the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was
    this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming
    president.

    KC and the class were just taking it in and letting her rant, but
    everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating

    "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this
    country than one born by c-section?"

    And someday she'll vote.


    A husband and wife are on the 9th green when suddenly she collapses from
    a heart attack!

    "Help me dear," she groans to her husband.

    The husband calls 911 on his cell phone, talks for a few minutes, picks
    up his putter, and lines up his putt.

    His wife raises her head off the green and stares at him. "I'm dying
    here and you're putting?"

    "Don't worry dear," says the husband calmly, "they found a doctor on the
    second hole and he's coming to help you."

    "Well, how long will it take for him to get here," she asks feebly?

    "No time at all," says her husband. "Everybody's already agreed to let
    him play through."


    Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old
    fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free
    to good home. You want it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat
    there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided
    that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It looked to good to be
    true, so he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.'

    The next day someone stole it!
