A professional athlete hit the ceiling when his nine year old son brought home a failing report card.
"Well, Dad," explained the youngster, "lets' not say that I flunked. Lets' just say they failed to pick up my option for the fourth grade."
"Spring will come and so will happiness. Hold on. Life will get warmer."

Leon Blum, the former Socialist Premier of France, once met David Ben Gurion. He introduced himself this way, "I had better tell you right away, Mr. Ben Gurion, that I am a humanist first, a socialist second, and only then a Jew. Whenever I write my name, that is what I believe."
Ben Gurion replied with a smile, "Never mind, we Jews read from right to left anyway!"
Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement. The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.
The second sees her family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment, then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another month and finally has her surgery scheduled for a year from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The first is a golden retriever; the second is a senior citizen.
