MR. FIX-IT
Once upon a time there lived three men: a doctor, a chemist, and an engineer. For some reason all three
offended the king and were sentenced to die on the same day. The day
of the execution arrived, and the doctor was led up to the guillotine. As he strapped the doctor to the guillotine, the executioner asked, "Head up or head down?"
"Head up," said the doctor.
"Blindfold or no blindfold?"
"No blindfold." So the executioner raised the axe, and
z-z-z-z-ing! Down came the blade--and stopped barely an inch above
the doctor's neck. Well, the law stated that if an execution didn't
succeed the first time the prisoner had to be released, so the doctor was set free. Then the chemist was led up to the guillotine. "Head up or head down?" said the executioner.
"Head up," said the chemist.
"Blindfold or no blindfold?"
"No blindfold." So the executioner raised his axe, and z-z-z-z-ing! Down came the blade--and stopped an inch above the chemist's neck. Well, the law stated that if the
execution didn't succeed the first time the prisoner had to be released, so the chemist was set free. Finally the engineer was led up to the guillotine. "Head up or head down?" asked the executioner.
"Head up."
"Blindfold or no blindfold?"
"No blindfold." So the executioner
raised his axe, but before he could cut the rope, the engineer yelled
out,
"WAIT! I see what the problem is!"

HIGHLY TAXED
A little boy wanted $100 very badly and his mother told him to
pray to God for it. He prayed and prayed for two weeks, but
nothing turned up. Then he decided perhaps he should write
God a letter requesting the $100.
When the sorting office received the letter addressed to God,
they opened it up and decided to send it to the President.
The President was so impressed, touched and amused that he
instructed his secretary to send the little boy a check for $5. He
thought that this would appear to be a lot of money to a little
boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5 and sat down to write a
thank-you letter to God:
Dear God, Thank you very much for the money. I noticed that
you had to send it through Washington.
As usual, they deducted $95 for themselves.
