A subservient fish is one that knows his plaice. The truck driver passed his mountain driving skills test. He was pleased to have made the grade. Birthday candles are for people who want to make light of their age. Q: How do you make a cigarette lighter? I know a farmer who has 200 head of cattle. He thought there were only 196 until he rounded them up. I got sent a package the other day, but when it arrived it was all damp. Do bakers with a sense of humor bake wry bread? The meteorologist was absolutely convinced of his theory on air currents. When fishermen get too competitive, they start suffering from pier pressure. When asked about subatomic particles, the physicist lepton the question. After the silver prospector told his secrets, he found it was a real lode off his mine. Two podiatrists who opened their offices on the same street. They were arch enemies. Three of my fingers are willing to write, but my thumb and forefinger are opposed. A sandwich walks into a bar. The barman says, "Sorry, we don't serve food in here. And in the stock market today, helium was up, feathers were down. Paper was stationary. The French restaurant had five dishwashing basins.

She wrote to her parents to say that she had put the heart before the course. Illuminated golf courses were invented for people who liked swinging nightclubs. A good carpenter will do his work and then varnish without a trace. I bought a smoking jacket and a blazer at a fire sale. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
