Assault Rifles

============
When my younger brother was three or four, he over heard my father
talking about assault rifles. He came running up to me "Noel, Noel,
guess what!?" He said, eyes wide with excitement. "I know what assault
rifles are!"
I looked at him and said, "Really, what are they?"
He looked up at me as if I were stupid, put his hands on his hips and
said, "Duh, they shoot salt!"

TELLING JOKES
==============
A man walks into a local restaurant one evening, and this is the first time
he's been there. As he sits at the counter drinking, suddenly he hears
someone call out, "Number 35." And everybody in the restaurant bursts out
laughing.
A little later, someone else calls out, "Number 47." Again everybody bursts
out laughing.
So the man turns to his neighbour and asks, "What's the deal with the
numbers, and why is everybody laughing?"
The man's new acquaintance explains, "You see, we've told the same jokes so
often, everybody has them memorized. So we made a list of all of the jokes
and numbered them. Now, instead of telling a joke, we just call out that
joke's number, and everybody knows what we mean."
The man thought it over, and decided he'd like to try. So he called out,
"Number 26." And nobody laughed. There wasn't a chuckle, giggle or snicker
to be heard in the whole room.
Disappointed, the man said, "What did I do wrong?"
His neighbor answered, "Well, you know how it is. Some people can tell
a joke, and some people can't."
