P-r-e-t-t-y S-m-a-r-t…..

The two ladies were sitting in the living room, waiting for their hostess, who was slightly delayed. The daughter of the family was with them, on the theory that she would keep the visitors occupied during the wait.

The child was about six years old, snub nosed, freckled, buck toothed and bespectacled. She maintained a deep silence and the two ladies peered doubtfully at her.

Finally, one of them muttered to the other, “Not very p-r-e-t-t-y, I fear,” carefully spelling the key word.

Whereupon the child piped up, “But awful s-m-a-r-t!”

~~~ ~~~ Tall Order…..

While I was working for a photofinishing company, we received a reprint order for an old black-and-white photograph of an old man milking a cow. The man was sitting behind the cow, and all that was visible of him were his legs and his feet.

A note accompanying the order read: “This is the only picture I have of my grandfather. Please move the cow so I can see what he looked like.”
