A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zoo officials put up a ten-foot fence. The animal was out the next morning. Soon a twenty-foot fence was put up. Again the kangaroo got out. When the fence was forty feet high, a camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, "How high do you think they'll go?" The kangaroo said, "About a thousand feet, unless somebody locks the gate at night!" |
A lumber camp advertised for a lumberjack. A skinny little guy shows up at the camp. The head lumberjack takes one look at the guy and tells him to get lost. "Give me a chance to show you what I can do," says the skinny guy. "Okay, see that giant redwood over there?" asks the lumberjack. "Take your axe and cut it down." In five minutes the guy is back knocking on the lumberjack's door. "I cut the tree down," says the guy. "Where did you learn to chop down trees like that?" "In the Sahara Forest," says the puny man. "You mean the Sahara Desert," says the lumberjack. "Sure, that's what they call it now."
Mark was only 5 feet, 8 inches tall when he left for college in the fall. He worked through Christmas break and didn't return home again until the February break. When he got off the plane, his mother was stunned at how much taller he looked. Measuring him at home, she discovered he now stood at 5 feet, 11 inches. Mark was as surprised as she was. "Couldn't you tell by your clothes that you'd grown?" she asked him. "Since I've been doing my own laundry," he replied, "I just figured everything had shrunk."
