A father took his young son to the opera for the first time. The conductor started waving the baton, and the soprano began her aria. The boy watched everything intently and finally asked: “Why is he hitting her with his stick?” “He’s not hitting her,” answered the father with a chuckle. “Well, then,” asked the boy. “Why is she screaming?” ................................................................................................................................................................................................... One night, a lady stumbled into the police station with a black eye. She claimed she had heard a noise in her back yard and gone out to investigate. Then, the next thing she knew, she was hit in the eye and knocked out cold. An officer was sent to her house to investigate, and he returned an hour later with a black eye. “Did you get hit by the same person?” his captain asked. “No,” he replied. “I stepped on the same rake.” |
