Long grass One afternoon a wealthy laywer was sitting in the back of his, limousine being driven to work, when he saw two men eating grass by the side of the road. He ordered his driver to stop, and then he got out to investigate. "Why are you eating grass?" he asked the men. "Sir, we don't have any money for food," one of the men replied. "Come along with me," instructed the lawyer. The first man said, "But sir, I have a wife and two children. They are also hungry." "Bring them along too," replied the lawyer. The second man said, "Sir, I have a wife and six children. Can they come as well, please?" "No problem, bring them as well," answered the lawyer as he climbed back into his limo. Finally, they were all in the limo - the lawyer, the two men, their two wives and eight children. One of the men said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you." The lawyer replied, "No problem, there will be plenty to eat at my home. The grass is almost half a metre tall." Worms It was the first day of Biology for a group of teenagers. The professor had arranged a short demonstration for the class. He took a worm and dropped it into a glass of water. The worm wriggled about in the water. Then he took a second worm and dropped it into a glass of alcohol. The worm immediately died. The professor asked the students if anyone knew what the point of the demonstration was. A boy raised his hand and said, "You're showing us that if we drink alcohol, we won't have worms." Dear Susan A man is in jail for robbing 27 banks. One day he receives a letter from his wife.
