    On a visit to my doctor, I was pleasantly surprised to find that he had installed taped music in the waiting room. As I sat there enjoying a piano recording, I overheard an elderly lady say to her companion, "Just like these young doctors--a crowded waiting room, and he's in there playing the
    piano!" --June Iveson

    ***** No honeymoon? *****
    The English language often got the better of my German grandfather, a pastor. During one service, he announced that two members of his flock were getting married.
    "You're all invited to the wedding," he told the congregation. "And also to
    the parish hall afterward for the conception."

    A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood, and parked himself on the ceiling of the cave to get some sleep. Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and started hassling him about where he got it. He told them to leave him alone and let him get some sleep.
    However, they persisted until he finally gave in. "Okay, follow me," he said as he flapped out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.

    Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest of trees. Finally he slowed and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.

    "Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked. "YES, YES, YES!" all the other bats screamed in a frenzy.

    "Good," shouted the bat, "because I didn't!"

    Ha good one, I was sure I had heard a really stupid one from a long time ago where the bat's wife was angry because it was her female bat friend's time of the month. So many really dumb jokes from my youth came back to me from this one.
