      Joke


      “When I Grow Up, I’m Going To Be A…”

      An older couple had a son who was still living with them. The parents were a little worried, as the son has no career plans, so they decided to do a small test.

      They took a $10 bill, a Bible and a bottle of whiskey, and put them on the front hall table. Then they hid, pretending they were not at home.

      The test was this: If the son took the money, he would be a businessman, if he took the Bible, he would be a priest, but if he took the bottle of whiskey, he would be a drunk.

      So the parents hid in the nearby closet and waited nervously. Peeping through the keyhole, they saw their son arrive and read the note they had left him.

      Then, he took the $10 bill, looked at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket.

      After that, he took the Bible, flicked through it, and took it.

      Finally he grabbed the bottle, opened it, and took an appreciative whiff to check the quality. Then he left for his room, carrying all three items.

      The father slapped his forehead and said, “Darn, it’s even worse than I could ever have imagined. Our son is going to be a politician!”

        I always wanted to be a lumberjack. Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia…
