Did you hear about the famous contest in 1874 to choose the best neckwear?

It was a tie!

How do you figure out what sex an ant is? Put it in water.
If it sinks it's a girl ant.
If it floats....

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

We used to play spin the bottle when I was a kid. A girl would spin the bottle, and if the bottle pointed to you when it stopped, the girl could either kiss you or give you a nickel.

By the time I was 14, I owned my own house.

A kid came to the door with a sign "I love ceilings!"

A police office arrives at the scene of an accident in which a car hit a tree.

The cop rushes over to the car and asked the driver, "Are you seriously hurt?"

"How should I know" replied the man, "I'm not a lawyer."

At one time a large contingent of fairies passed over a log bridge from the north side to the south side. A dryad tried to follow but could not make it across.

“Help me across!” said the dryads.

“Lichen help!” said one of the fairies, and caused a thick growth of lichen to appear.

“I still can’t get a grasp”, said the dryad.

“Here, grass!” said the fairy, and grass leapt up from the bridge. Finally the dryad could get some roots onto the bridge.

“But I have no room on the other side for sprouting”, said the dryad.

“Nay, on this side you shall have mushroom!” said the fairy. So the fairies, working hard together, pushed the old tree over the river, and when mushrooms grew, ate them.
