THE SUSPICIOUS TIE
Posted by: root <root@...>
a green tie that was a perfect match for one of her husband's sports
jackets. Soon after, while the couple was vacationing at a resort
complex to get his mind off a rather complicated cocaine conspiracy
case, he noticed a small, round disc sewn into the design of the tie.
The judge showed it to a local FBI agent, who was equally suspicious
that it might be a "bug" planted by the conspiracy defendants. The
agent sent the device to FBI headquarters in Washington, DC for
analysis.
Two weeks later, the judge phoned the Washington office to learn the
results of their tests. "We're not sure where the disc came from,"
the FBI told him, "but we discovered that when you press it, it plays
'Jingle Bells'."

Funeral
~~~~~~~~
As the old man lies dying in the bedroom, out in the parlor the family
discusses funeral arrangements. Son Gary says, "We'll make a real big
thing
out of it. We'll have five hundred people. We'll order fifty limos."
Daughter Grace says, "Why do you want to waste money like that? We'll
have the family and maybe a few friends. One limo just for us."
They proceed. Grandson Jeff says, "We'll have lots of flowers. We'll
surround him with dozens of roses and lilies, dozens and dozens."
Daughter Alice says, "What a waste! We'll have one little bouquet,
that's
enough."
Suddenly, the voice of the old man is heard, wafting weakly from the
bedroom, "Why don't you get me my pants? I'll walk to the cemetery."
