As the evening was drawing to a close, the master of ceremonies for the night proceeded to hand out bottles of champagne to the graduates who had traveled the farthest distance to attend the reunion, the graduate who had been married the longest time, the graduate who had become the most successful, etc. Laura wondered if she was going to get a prize too. Sure enough, the master of ceremonies called out her name. "Laura, you win with 11 kids." and then, trying to be clever, he added in "And champagne is only half the prize. The other half is a giant, economy size bottle of aspirin." "Don't bother with the aspirin," Laura replied. "It's obvious with these many kids that I've never had a headache." ______________________________________________________ Keli and Greg were involved in a petty argument, both of them unwilling to admit they might be in error. "I'll admit I'm wrong," said Keli in a conciliatory attempt, "if you'll admit I'm right." Greg agreed and, like the dear he is, insisted Keli go first. "I'm wrong," Keli said. With a twinkle in his eye, Greg responded, "You're right!" ___________________________________________________ Tetons ____________________________________________________ Recently in Traffic Court, a man who received an expensive parking ticket testified that a uniformed Policeman had given his OK for the man to park there.

When you see the Officer again, tell him he owes you 57 dollars. Next..." ____________________________________________________ Ana Corbett ____________________________________________________ A professor was giving a big test one day to his students.
