Johnny has a sweet tooth One fine afternoon, a gentleman was walking down the street; and as he came around the corner, he spotted a young boy sitting in front of the local candy shop. As he approached, he realized it was his neighbor’s kid — Little Johnny. The boy was shoving sweet tarts and chocolate bars down his throat as fast as possible, so much that it prompted the man to offer some advice: “You know, Johnny, it’s not healthy to eat all that candy.” Little Johnny looked up at him and quickly retorted: “You know, my grandpa lived to be 96 years old.” “Oh,” the man replied, “did he eat lots of candy?” “Nope,” retorted Johnny, “he minded his own business!” A compassionate lawyer Driving through town in his BMW, a successful young lawyer spotted two men on the side of the road eating grass out of somebody’s yard. Moved by how desperate the men had become, he pulled over to have a word with them. “Hey fellas, what is going on? Why are you eating grass?” asked the lawyer. “We’re down on our luck, have no jobs and are very poor,” they both responded. “Well then, come with me,” the lawyer insisted. “I’ll do what I can to help, after all — it’s clear you’re desperate and you’re clearly willing to do what it takes to get by.” After a 15-minute drive, the two poor men arrived at a beautiful estate right on the 18th hole of a prestigious golf course. They became excited at the chance to finally get some work. “Sir, we can’t thank you enough! Thank you so much for this opportunity. We will make you happy!” they exclaimed with joy. “Ah, it’s no problem. I’m just happy to help,” replied the compassionate lawyer. “You can eat all the grass you want!” |
