Today's Laugh.............................Ha Ha Ha !!!   

From Jane (May) Roque '64


A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror.

Since her birthday was not far off, he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.

"I'd like to be twelve again," she replied, still looking in the mirror.


On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops,

And then took her to Alton Towers theme park.

What a day!

He put her on every ride in the park:

The Death Slide, the Corkscrew, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.


Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park.

Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.


He then took her to McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal, with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to the cinema with popcorn, a huge Cola, and her favorite sweets ... M&M's.


What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.


He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked,

"Well, Dear, what was it like being twelve again?"


Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.

"I meant my dress size, you idiot!"
