A little girl asked her mother, “How did the human race come about?”
The Mother answered, “God made Adam and Eve; they had children and, so all mankind was made.”
A few days later, the little girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, “Many years ago there were monkeys, and we devel- oped from them.”
The confused girl returns to her mother and says, “Mom, how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God , and Papa says we developed from monkeys?”
The Mother answers, “Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about the origin of my side of the family, and your father told you about his side.”
I was observing two men that were working for the public works department.
One would dig a
hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in.
After a while I had to ask, "Why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"
The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it prob- ably looks odd because we're normally a three- person team.
But today the guy who plants the trees called in sick."
Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When little John received his plate, he started eating right away.
“John, wait until we say our prayer,” his moth- er reminded him.
“I don’t have to,” the little boy replied.
“Of course you do,” his mother insisted, “we say a prayer before eating at our house.”
“That’s at our house,” John
explained, “but this is Grandma’s house and she knows how to cook.”
Two 7 year old boys were closely examining bath- room scales on display at the department store.
"Have you ever seen one of these before?" one asked.
"Yeah, my mom and dad have one," the other replied.
"What's it for?" asked the first boy.
"I don't know," the second boy answered. "I think you stand on it and it makes you mad."
A couple was having a discus- sion about family finances.
Finally the hus- band exploded, "If it weren't for my money, the house wouldn't be here!"
The wife replied, "My dear, if it weren't for your money I wouldn't be here."
WhenTacoBell RunsOut of Tacos,
WhoDoYouCall?OnePerson
ReportedlyCalledThePolice
By Kelly Tyko
When a Louisiana Taco Bell allegedly ran out of tacos, a consumer called the city's police department to report the "traves- ty."
The Slidell Police Department took to its Facebook page Monday to share "another 'we can’t make this stuff up' story."
"Somebody called in to complain that the Taco Bell on Gause Boulevard ran out of both hard and soft taco shells," the post said. "While this is truly a travesty, the police can’t do anything about this."
Taco Bell didn't immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.
This isn't the first time a consumer called the police to report a restau- rant running out of
an item or an item missing from their order.
In 2017 at a McDonald's in Indianapolis, a fight over McNuggets broke out with two cus- tomers jumping through the drive- thru window. Another customer recorded a video that went viral.
In 1999, then- University of Kansas player Dion Rayford became famous after he angrily
attempted to crawl through a Taco Bell drive-
through window in Lawrence, Kansas, to get to employees who forgot a chalupa in his take-out order.
The 6-foot-3, 260- pound senior defensive end did- n't quite make it all the way inside the restaurant, however. He
was seen stuck halfway
through the 14-by- 46-inch window opening when police arrived.
