uses your telephone, takes your money
and doesn't appear to realize that you had set it free...

...You either married it or gave birth to it.

• Golfing with An Older Lady

A young man who was also an avid golfer found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could get in nine holes before he had to head home. Just as he was about to tee off an older lady shuffled onto the tee and asked if she could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the her to join him.

To his surprise the lady played fairly quickly. She didn't hit the ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball - and directly between his ball and the green.

After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the lady finally said, "You know, when I was your age I'd hit the ball right over that tree."

With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the ball up, right smack into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it had originally lay.

The lady offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your age that pine tree was only three feet tall."

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the car. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So Doc, look at dis here work. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish dis baby will purr like a kitten.
So how come you get da big bucks, when you an' me is doing basically da same work?"
The doctor leaned over and whispered to the loudmouth mechanic.
"Try doing it with the engine running."
