Lost Ticket

Submitted by Jimbo

Albert Einstein was

recognized as the

original absent-minded

professor. One day,

on board a train, he

was unable to find his

ticket. The conductor

said, “Take it easy.

You’ll find it.”

When the conductor

returned, Einstein still

couldn’t find the ticket.

The conductor, recognizing

the famous scientist,

said, “I’m sure

you bought a ticket.

Forget about it.”

“You’re very kind,”

Einstein said, “but I

must find it, otherwise

I won’t know where to

get off.”

Honeymoon’s

Over

Submitted by Tyla Davis

Daniel and Jessica, a

young couple, got married

and went happily

on their honeymoon.

When they got back,

Jessica immediately

phoned her mother

to talk about the

experience.

“How was the honeymoon,

dearest?” her

mother inquired.

“Oh, Ma,” she replied,

“the honeymoon was

wonderful. So romantic...”

Jessica’s voice

trailed off.

“Is something the

matter, my dear?” her

mother asked.

Then Jessica burst out

crying. “As soon as we

returned home Daniel

started using the most

ghastly language...

saying things I’ve

never heard before! I

mean, all these awful

4-letter words! You’ve

got to come get me

and take me home.

Please Ma, I can’t live

like this!”

“Calm down, Jessica!”

said her mother, “Tell

me, what could be so

awful? What 4-letter

words?”

Alex Degan Lucy Robinson Sam Scalia

I wish fathers took #1 Dad shirts seriously and fought each other

whenever they saw another dad wearing one.

Still sobbing, Jessica

whispered, “He was

using words like dust,

wash, cook, and iron.”

My One

and Only

Submitted by Tyla Davis

Roger was out at the

local jewelry store

shopping for his girlfriend

for Valentine’s

Day. Roger spotted a

beautiful gold ring and

called an attendant

over for assistance.

“Yes, sir, may I help

you?” asked the

attendant.

“I’m interested in this

ring for a Valentine’s

Day gift. Can you tell

me more about it?”

“Why yes, sir. It’s a

stunning 24 karat gold

ring with a 3/4 karat

ruby in it. And we can

even engrave it for that

special someone, free

of charge.”

Roger thought for a

minute and then told

the attendant, “I think

I will buy this ring.

Please engrave it ‘To

my one and only love.’”

“How very romantic of

you,” exclaimed the attendant,

“that is a very

sweet way to show

your affection.”

“It’s not romantic, it’s

more practical. If my

girlfriend and I end up

breaking up, I can use

this gift again.”

My first day back to the gym went well. I did 20 minutes of cardio,

10 minute on the defibrillator, and three days in the hospital.

True

Potty Training

Confessions

Submitted by Jimbo

My three year-old son

had a lot of problems

with potty training, and

I was on him constantly

about it.

One day, we stopped

at Taco Bell for a

quick lunch between

errands. It was very

busy, with a full dining

room. While enjoying

my taco, I smelled

something funny. So,

of course, I checked

my seven-month-old

daughter. She was

clean.

Then I realized that

Matt had not asked to

go potty in a while, so I

asked him, and he said

“No.”

I kept thinking, “Oh

Lord, that child has

had an accident,” and I

didn’t have any clothes

with me. Then I said,

“Matt, are you sure

you did not have an

accident?”

“No,” he replied. I just

knew that he must

have, because the

smell was getting

worse.

So I asked one more

time: “Matt, did you

have an accident?”

This time, with a little

smirk on his face, he

jumped up, yanked

down his pants, bent

over and yelled, “SEE

MOM, IT’S JUST

GAS!!”

While 100 people

nearly choked to death

on their tacos, he

calmly pulled up his

pants and sat down to

eat his food as if nothing

happened. I was

mortified! But some

kind elderly people

made me feel a lot

better when they came

over and thanked me

for the best laugh they

had ever had.

“How come you don’t

Lori asked.

Obstacles

Submitted by Jimbo

In ancient times, a King

had a boulder placed

on a roadway.

I, for one, like roman numerals.

Out ‘n About celebrating Valentines with Uncle Andy’s Digest

Sweethearts Photo Contest

Then he hid himself

and watched to see if

anyone would remove

the huge rock.

Some of the king’s

wealthiest merchants

and courtiers came

by and simply walked

around it. Many loudly

blamed the king for

not keeping the roads

clear, but none did anything

about getting the

stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came

along carrying a load of

vegetables. Upon approaching

the boulder,

the peasant laid down

his burden and tried to

move the stone to the

side of the road.

After much pushing

and straining, he finally

succeeded. After the

peasant picked up his

load of vegetables, he

noticed a purse lying

in the road where the

boulder had been.

The purse contained

many gold coins and

a note from the king

indicating that the gold

was for the person who

removed the boulder

from the roadway. The

peasant learned what

many of us never

understand.

Every obstacle presents

an opportunity to

improve our condition.

A Whole

Lotta Bull

Submitted by Tyla Davis

A farmer out in his field

one day was observing

his cattle. He had them

divided by a fence,

bulls on one side and

cows on the other.

As he watched them

he noticed that when

ever a strong wind

occurred all the cows

would fall over while

the bulls would just

teeter a bit but remain

upright.

The farmer finally

approached the bulls

and asked, “How come

when there’s a strong

wind the cows over

there fall down and

you don’t?”

The bull looked at him

and replied, “Because,

we bulls wobble but we

don’t fall down.”

“Siri, why do I have such problems with my relationships with women?”

“This is Alexa.”

“How about I tell

So, Tyla tells jokes for

Final Exams

Submitted by Tyla Davis

A college student

stayed up late studying

for his zoology exam

the next day. As he

entered the classroom,

he saw 10 stands,

each with one bird

perched on it.

The birds heads were

covered with paper

sacks, and only their

legs showed.

Why do ballerinas have to stand on their tiptoes? Why don’t they just get taller dancers?

Moving two miles

up the road!

10 Memorial Drive,

Lisbon

The professor announced

that the test

would consist of looking

at each bird’s legs

and determining the

bird’s common name,

habitat, and genus.

The student looked at

the legs, but they all

looked the same to

him. He closely examined

each bird for what

seemed like hours.

The more he looked,

the angrier he got.

Finally, he marched to

his professor’s desk

and exclaimed, “What

a stupid test! Nobody

can tell the difference

between birds by looking

at their legs!” The

student threw his test

on the teacher’s desk.

The laziest mountain in the world is Mt. Everest.

Out ‘n About in the Digest in the 2011 archives.

Reminiscing through our 25 years!

“Young man! How dare

you behave that way

in my classroom?”

the teacher bellowed,

“What is your name?”

The student lifted

up his pant legs and

yelled, “You guess,

buddy! You guess!”
