Jon and Amanpreet were in an institution.  This place had an annual contest where they picked two of the best patients and asked them two questions.  If they got them correct, they were deemed cured and free to go.

Jon was called into the doctor's office first and asked if he understood that he'd be free if he answered the questions correctly.  The doctor said, "Jon, what would happen if I poked out one of your eyes?"

The newspaper where I worked had just announced that when its new building was completed, the old one would be donated to the United Way.

A few days later, someone came into our office soliciting contributions to that same organization.

"I'm sorry," one reporter quipped. "We already gave the office."

Sunday greetings, everyone!

With 7 official days left in the summer of '24, the weather at Cybersalt Headquarters is definitely getting ready to switch to autumn. Grandma Cybersalt and I are approaching the age were we really want to avoid as many tumbles as possible, but when it comes to the seasons of the year we hope to experience many more falls!

We were celebrating the 100th anniversary of our church, and several former pastors and the bishop were in attendance.

At one point, our minister had the children gather at the altar for a talk about the importance of the day.

He began by asking, "Does anyone know what the bishop does?"

There was silence.

Finally, one little boy answered gravely, "He's the one you can move diagonally."

Okay, this is a little more than one sentence, but it is a zinger!

The easiest job in the world has to be coroner. Surgery on dead people. What's the worst thing that could happen? If everything went wrong, maybe you'd get a pulse.

A zoning board had just been set up in a new community. A homeowner went to the office to request permission to build a small tool shed in his backyard.

"Do you have a plan?" asked the director.

"Oh, yes," said the owner, who showed him a map of his neighborhood, the dimension of his yard, and a sketch of the shed.

"That looks fine," said the director. He pulled out a piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, copied it, and said, "Here's your permission."

A month later, a neighbor in exactly the same situation also wanted permission for a shed in her yard. She went to the director, got as far as a secretary, and made her request.

"Thank you, Mrs. Smith," said the secretary, taking the documents. "Telephone me in two weeks and I'll let you know what the director's decision is, or what further steps are necessary."

"But," groaned Mrs. Smith, "a month ago my neighbor got permission right away."

"Oh, yes," said the secretary, "but that was before we finally got organized."

I’ve been bouncing back after a health hiatus and thought I was doing well. I still have some coughs and sneezes, but they are slowly diminishing. It’s good to get back on schedule again.
