There is a new bumper sticker in New York State. It reads:
RUN, HILLARY RUN
Democrats put it on their rear bumper.
Republicans put it on their front bumper.
A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each childs artwork. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "Im drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five-and six-year-olds. After explaining the commandment "Honor thy father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" One little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."
~~~~~~~~
An honest seven-year-old admitted calmly to her parents that Billy Brown had kissed her after class. "How did that happen?" gasped her mother. "It wasnt easy," admitted the young lady, "but three girls helped me catch him."

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Momma?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this for a while and then asked, "Momma, how come ALL of Grandmas hairs are white?"

A three-year-old went with his father to see a litter of kittens. On returning home, he informed his mother that there were two boy kittens and two girl kittens. "How did you know?" his mother asked. "Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think its printed on the bottom."
~~~~~~~~
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade each one to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, Theres Jennifer; shes a lawyer, or Thats Michael. Hes a doctor." A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And theres the teacher. Shes dead."
~~~~~~~~
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said, "Now, boys, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face." "Yes, sir," the boys said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position, the blood doesnt run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "Cause yer feet aint empty."
~~~~~~~~
For weeks, a six-year-old boy kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house. One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year-old was obviously impressed, but he made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event. The teacher finally asked him, "Tommy, whatever became of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?" Tommy burst into tears and confessed, "I think Mommy ate it!"
~~~~~~~
On the first day of school, the kindergarten teacher said, "If anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers." A little voice from the back of the room asked, "How will that help?"

Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking
along yesterday minding my
own business when a beautiful woman rode up
on this bike. She threw the bike
to the ground, took off all her clothes and
said, "Take what you want."
The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldnt have fit."

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were
waiting one morning for a
particularly slow group of golfers. The
engineer fumed, "Whats with these
guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"
The doctor chimed in,
"I dont know, but Ive never seen such ineptitude!
The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Lets have a word with him."
"Hi George. Say, whats with that group ahead of us? Theyre rather slow, arent they?"
The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, thats a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group was silent for a moment.
The pastor said, "Thats so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. And Im going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if theres anything he can do for them." The engineer said, "Why cant these guys play at night?"

There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things
mechanical. After serving his company
loyally for 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later, the
company
contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having
with one of their multimillion-dollar machines. They had tried
everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no
avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved
so
many of their problems in the past.
The engineer reluctantly took the challenge.
He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, "This is where your problem is."
The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly, again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly:
One chalk mark $ 1
Knowing where to put it $ 49,999
It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace.

Three engineering students were gathered
together discussing the possible
designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

An architect, an artist, and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, "I like both."
"Both?" Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."

I went to McDonalds. I looked at the menu and saw that you could have an order of
6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked
for a half-dozen nuggets.
Abe responded "We dont have a half-dozen nuggets," said the
teenager at
the counter.
"You dont?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve,"
Abe said.
"So I cant order a half-dozen nuggets but I can order six?"
"Thats right."
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy
drive and
pulling it out very quickly. When inquired as
to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet
and
they
asked for a credit card number, so shes using the ATM
"thingy".

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.
"Do you
need some help?" I asked.
She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this
remote
door unlocker. Now I cant get into my car. Do
you think they (pointing to a distant convenient store) would
have a
battery to fit this?"
"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm too?" I asked. "No, just
this
remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me.
As I took the key and manually unlocked the door,
I replied, "Why dont you drive over there and check about the
batteries
its a long walk."

Several years ago, we had an intern who was none too swift. One
day he
was typing and turned to a secretary and said,
"Im almost out of typing paper. What do I do?"
"Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told him.
With that, the intern took his last remaining blank piece of
paper, put
it
on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home
was towed
into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of
repair and
the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister". I
asked the
manager what had happened. He told me that the
driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back
to make a
sandwich.

I was sitting in my science class, when the teacher commented
that the
next day would be the shortest day of the year.
My lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I
explained
to her that the amount of daylight changes, not the actual
amount of
time. Needless to say, she was very disappointed.

Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by
placing a
metal
colander on his head and connecting it with
wires to a photocopy machine. The message "Hes lying" was
placed in
the
copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they
thought the
suspect wasnt telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector"
was
working, the suspect confessed.
