Today's Laugh..........
My wife gave me an envelope with, “Not to be opened until 2027” on it.
Inside was a list of reasons why I cannot be trusted to follow simple instructions.
At a college football game, I pointed to the field and told the person next to me,
“That’s my son down there!”
She asked what number he was. I said, “He’s our third!”
