DRIVING TICKETS
Posted by: root <root@...>
================
An off-duty police officer, familiar with radar guns, drove through a school
zone within the legal speed limit when the flash of a camera went off,
taking a picture of his license plate.
The officer, thinking the radar was in error, drove by again; even more
slowly. Another flash. He did it again for a third time, at an even slower
speed. Same result.
"This guy must have screwed up the settings," the off-duty officer thought.
A few weeks later, when he received the violations in the mail, he
discovered three traffic tickets: each for not wearing a seat belt!

Feed The Birds
===============
My mom, Molly, a difficult independent 75-year-old, likes sitting on a bench
in the park feeding the pigeons.
One day she brought with her a whole bunch of fresh bread just to feed her
daily company.
Little by little, pinch by pinch, she fed each pigeon with joy.
She sat there without being noticed by anyone in our rich suburban
neighborhood.
Then, suddenly, a man in his early 40's rained on my mom's parade by telling
her that she shouldn't throw away good food on a bunch of pigeons that can
find food anywhere "when there are people starving in Africa".
Then my mother said in crazed anger and without hesitation, "Well, I
can't throw that far!"
