Chaos

A woman was at home with her children when the telephone rang.
In going to answer it, she tripped on her rug,
grabbed for something to hold on to and seized the telephone table.
It fell over with a crash, jarring the receiver off the hook.
As it fell, it hit the family dog, who leaped up, howling and barking.
The woman's three-year-old son, startled by this noise,
broke into loud screams.
The woman mumbled to herself and finally managed to pick up the receiver and
lift it to her ear, just in time to hear her husband's voice on the other end
say, "Nobody's said hello yet, but I'm positive I have the right number."

GROUCHY
========
When I went to get my driver's license renewed, our local motor-
vehicle bureau was packed. The line inched along for almost an hour,
until the man ahead of me finally got his license.
He inspected his photo for a moment, and commented to the clerk, "I
was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in
this picture."
The woman beside him peered over his shoulder, then reassured him,
"It's okay. That's how you're going to look when the cops pull you
over, anyway."
