Joy Is Everywhere

A prisoner in jail receives a letter from his wife:”Dear Husband, I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back garden. When is the best time to plant it?”

The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all mail, replied in a letter:

“Dear Wife, whatever you do, do not touch the back garden. That is where I hid all the money.”

A week or so later, he received another letter from his wife:

“Dear Husband, You wouldn’t believe what happened: some men came with
shovels to the house, and dug up all the back garden.”

The prisoner wrote another letter back:

“Dear wife, now is the best time to plant the lettuce.”

When a man in Macon, Georgia came upon a wild dog attacking a young boy, he quickly grabbed the animal and throttled it with his two hands.A reporter saw the incident, congratulated the man and told him the headline the following day would read, “Local Man Saves Child by Killing Vicious Animal.”

The hero, however, told the journalist that he wasn’t from Macon.

“Well, then,” the reporter said, “the headline will probably say, “Georgia Man Saves Child by Killing Dog.”

“Actually,” the man said, “I’m from Connecticut.”

“In that case,” the reporter said in a huff, “the headline will read, “Yankee Kills Family Pet.”
