A Bit of Fun - Red Tape Tidbits

From Tim Haworth, Lormit Personal Services

Here is a joke that I really enjoy and have told many times. 5 year old Johnny and his 4 year old brother, Billy, were upstairs one week day morning getting ready for Billy and Mommy to take Johnny to morning kindergarten. Johnny said, "Billy, you and I are getting to be big boys now and I think its time we starting cussing. When we go downstairs for breakfast I'm going to use the word hell and you use the word ass. O.K.?" "O.K.", said Billy, with a thumbs up. A few moments later Mom called up, "Boys, hurry along were going to be late." The boys came downstairs and saddled up on the stools at the kitchen island. "What would you like for breakfast Johnny?", asked Mom. "What the hell, I think I'll have Cheerios.", replied Johnny, who, upon catching sight of the back of his mothers hand out of the corner of his eye, quickly jerked back, doing a miraculous full summersault off the stool and landing on his feet. He was, however, facing the wrong way and by the time he had turned and began running towards the stairs his mother had rounded the Island and was hot on his heels. She caught him on the first step and was able to smack his butt for the next five steps before he gained the sanctuary of his room. Mom returned to the kitchen and regaining her composure said, "Billy, what would you like for breakfast?" "Oh I dunno," said Billy, "but you can bet your fat ass it won't be Cheerios!"
