"Congratulations on your new location.

and heavy with someone always bidding ten dollars more than he until

Windy Texas Town
A New Yorker traveling through west Texas stopped in the little town
of Rankin for lunch. As he stepped out on to the little Main Street,
the 40 mile per hour wind practically pulled the car door off! He
started towards the diner, leaning into the wind, with on hand on his
hat to keep it from being blown off.
As he approached the stores he saw an old-timer leaning against the
corner of the building, reading a newspaper. The New Yorker was
fascinated that he held the paper just right so the wind wouldn't even
ruffle it as he read. He asked the man, "Sir, does the wind blow like
this all the time?"
The old timer looked up and faced into the wind, as if he suddenly
just noticed it, turned back, eyed the stranger from head to foot, and
said, "Noooope. Sometimes it comes from the other direction."

So the Director says, "Very well, you can be Mozart" Then he
turns to Arnie and says "Arnie, who would you like to play ?"

Smarter Than You Think
There was a little boy named Johnny who used to
hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn't
know what Johnny's problem was, but the boys would
constantly tease him.
They would always comment that he was two bricks shy
of a load, or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove
it, sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between
a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and John would
always take the nickel --
they said, because it was bigger.
One day after John grabbed the nickel, the store owner
took him aside and said "Johnny, those boys are making
fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth
more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because
it's bigger, or what?"
Slowly, Johny turned toward the store owner and a big
grin appeared on his face and Johnny said,
"Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it,
and so far I have saved $20!"
Talking to God
Little Jimmy was laying about on a hillock in the middle of a
meadow on a warm spring day. Puffy white clouds rolled by and he
pondered their shape. Soon, he began to think about God.
"God? Are you really there?" Jimmy said out loud.
To his astonishment a voice came from the clouds. "Yes, Jimmy?
What can I do for you?"
Seizing the opportunity, Jimmy asked, "God? What is a million
years like to you?"
Knowing that Jimmy could not understand the concept of infinity,
God responded in a manner to which Jimmy could relate. "A
million years to me, Jimmy, is like a minute."
"Oh," said Jimmy. "Well, then, what's a million dollars like to
you?"
"A million dollars to me, Jimmy, is like a penny."
"Wow!" remarked Jimmy, getting an idea. "You're so generous...
can I have one of your pennies?"
God replied, "Sure thing, Jimmy! Just a minute."
