1) Evidence has been found that
William Tell and his family were
avid bowlers. Unfortunately, all the
Swiss League records were de-
stroyed in fire. ... and so we'll
never know for whom the Tells
bowled.

2) A man rushed into a busy doc-
tor's surgery and shouted, "Doc-
tor! I think I'm shrinking! "The
doctor calmly responded, "Now,

a little patient."
3) An Indian chief was feeling very
sick, so he summoned the medi-
cine man. After a brief examina-
tion, the medicine man took out a
long, thin strip of elk rawhide and
gave it to the chief, telling him to
bite off, chew and swallow one
inch of the leather every day.
After a month, the medicine
man returned to see how the chief
was feeling. The chief shrugged
and said, "The thong is ended, but
the malady lingers on."
