Abraham’s New Suit.

Abraham wanted a new suit, so he bought a nice piece of cloth and then tried to locate a tailor.

The first tailor he visited looked at the cloth and measured Abraham, then told him the cloth was not enough to make a suit. Abraham was unhappy with this opinion and sought another tailor.

This tailor measured Abraham, then measured the cloth, and then smiled and said, “There is enough cloth to make a pair of trousers, a coat, and a vest, please come back in a week to take your suit.”

After a week Abraham came to take his new suit and saw the tailor’s son wearing trousers made of the same cloth.

Perplexed, he asked, “Just how could you make a full suit for me and trousers for your son, when the other tailor could not make a suit only?”

“It’s very simple,” replied the tailor, “The other tailor has two sons.”


A customer at Green’s Gourmet Grocery marvels at the proprietor’s quick wit and intelligence.

“Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?”

“I wouldn’t share my secret with just anyone,” Green replies, lowering his voice so the other shoppers won’t hear. “But since you’re a good and faithful customer, I’ll let you in on it. Fish heads. You eat enough of them, you’ll be positively brilliant.”

“You sell them here?” the customer asks.

“Only $4 each,” says Green.

The customer buys three. A week later, he’s back in the store complaining that the fish heads were disgusting and he isn’t any smarter.

“You didn’t eat enough,” says Green.

The customer goes home with 20 more fish heads. Two weeks later, he’s back and this time he’s really angry.

“Hey, Green,” he says, “You’re selling me fish heads for $4 apiece when I can buy the whole fish for $2. You’re ripping me off!”

“You see?” says Green. “You’re smarter already.”


Mr. and Mrs. Brown had two sons.

One was named Mind Your Own Business & the other was named Trouble. One day the two boys decided to play hide and seek.

Trouble hid while Mind Your Own Business counted to one hundred. Mind Your Own Business began looking for his brother behind garbage cans and bushes.

Then he started looking in and under cars, until a policeman approached him and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Playing a game,” the boy replied.

“What is your name?” the officer questioned.

“Mind Your Own Business.”

Furious the policeman inquired, “Are you looking for trouble?!”

The boy replied, “Why, yes.”
