"Parties who want milk should not sit in a field waiting for a cow to back up to them."

A burglar entered the house of a Quaker and proceeded to rob it. The Quaker heard the noise and took his shotgun downstairs.

Upon finding the burglar he aimed his gun and said gently,

"Friend, I mean thee no harm, but thou standest where I am about to shoot."

"I am always going into the far country and returning as a prodigal and thou art always bringing forth the best robe."
- Puritan prayer

The HMO account manager noticed that nearly every bill from a certain pediatrician’s office included the line item “Behavior modification reinforcers.”

Alarmed that the pediatrician was engaging in some unapproved, experimental psychological treatment, she called the physician’s office to inquire, “What on earth are behavior modification reinforcers?”

“Lollipops,” was the reply.
