JUST FOR FUN

A noteworthy double pun was perpetrated by a guest of a San Francisco hotel. Several chess players had formed the habit of stag- ing daily contests in the lobby and a crowd of people gathered to watch them. The manager, noting that they produced no revenue for the hotel, ordered them cleared out one afternoon.

At the height of the resultant hullabaloo, a lady asked, “What’s happened?” That’s when the guest contributed his classic: “It’s nothing, Ma’am, just the manager pulling his chess nuts out of the foyer.”

Somebody has defined adolescence as the period when a girl begins to powder and a boy begins to puff. Another says a boy has reached that stage when he knows why a strapless gown must be held up, but doesn’t understand how.

Does this sound familiar? Where to meet for lunch.

A group of girlfirends, all age 40, discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the waiters there had tight pants and nice abs.

Ten years later, at age 50, the friends once again discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at the Ocean View restauarant because the food was good and the wine selection was excellent.

Ten years later, at age 60, the friends again discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they could dine in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the ocean.

Ten years later, at age 70, the friends discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they had never been there before.

Here’s to lifelong, understanding friends and wonderful lunches.
