LAUGHTER, THE BEST MEDICINE
 
Polish immigrant goes to the Department of Motor Vehicles to apply for driver's license and has to take an eye test.
 
They show him card with the letters Z.
 
"Can you read this?" the optician asks.
 
"Read it?" the Polish guy replies, "know that guy!"
 

 
When Diane found out she was pregnant, she told the good news to anyone who would listen. But her 4-year-old son overheard some of her parents' private conversations. One day when Diane and her 4-year-old were shopping woman asked the little boy if he was excited about the new baby.
 
"Yes!" the 4-year-old said, "and know what we are going to name it, too. If it's girl we're going to call her Christina, and if it's another boy we're going to call it quits!"
 

 
My husband and often spell words so that our small children won't understand what we're saying. didn't realize what habit this had become until one day when my husband and were in the grocery store at the soup aisle.
 
An aggressive young woman banged into our cart, then nudged me over, blocking my access to the soup. Annoyed, looked at my husband and said, "Boy is she r-u-d-e!"
 
"Yeah," he replied, "but I'll bet she can s-p-e-l-l."
