We often discover what will do, by finding out what will
not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made

An old cowboy walks into a barbershop in Red Lodge, Montana
for a shave
and a haircut. He tells the barber he can't get all his
whiskers off because his
cheeks are wrinkled from age.

The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the
shelf and tells the old
cowboy to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin.

When he's finished, the old cowboy tells the barber that
was the cleanest
shave he's had in years, but he wanted to know what would
have happened if
he had accidentally swallowed the little ball.

The barber replied, "Just bring it back in a couple of days
like everyone else
does."

As the bus pulled away, I realized I had left my handbag
under the seat.

Later I called the bus company and was relieved that the
driver had found my bag.

When I went to pick it up at the depot, several off-duty
bus drivers surrounded me. One man handed me my purse,
two typewritten pages and a box -- containing the
contents of my handbag.

"We're required to inventory lost wallets and handbags,"
he explained. "I think you'll find everything there."

As I started to put my belongings back into the bag, the man
continued, "I hope you don't mind if we watch. Even though
we all TRIED, none of us could fit everything into your purse!
And we'd like to see just how YOU do it.

"That way, if we find another handbag on the bus left behind,
we will know the secret that women use to fill purses like yours."

A man walked into a dress shop and told the clerk he wanted to
buy an evening gown for his wife as a surprise.

"What size?" asked the clerk.

The man shrugged blankly.

Trying to help, the clerk inquired, "Well then, what are your
wife's measurements?"

The man thought for a moment.

"Small, medium, and large. In that order."

If I have one more MRI scan, I'll stick to the fridge.
