Two guys are out hunting deer. The first guy says, "Did you see that?"

"No," the second guy says.

"Well, a bald eagle just flew overhead," the first guy says.

"Oh," says the second guy.

A couple of minutes later, The first guy says, "Did you see that?"

"See what?" the second guy asks.

"Are you blind? There was a big, black bear walking on that hill, over
there."

"Oh."

A few minutes later the first guy says: "Did you see that?"

By now, the second guy is getting aggravated, so he says, "Yes, I did!"

And the first guy says: "Then why did you step in it?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home near a junior
high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace
and contentment. Then a new school year began.

The very next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful,
after-school enthusiasm, came down his street, beating merrily on every
trash can they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after
day, until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some
action.

The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as
they banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, "You
kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like
that. In fact, I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Will
you do me a favor? I'll give you each a dollar if you'll promise to
come around every day and do your thing."

The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up job on the trash
cans. After a few days, the old-timer greeted the kids again, but this
time he had a sad smile on his face. "This recession's really putting a
big dent in my income," he told them. "From now on, I'll only be able
to pay you 50 cents to beat on the cans." The noisemakers were
obviously displeased, but they did accept his offer and continued their
afternoon ruckus. A few days later, the wily retiree approached them
again as they drummed their way down the street.

"Look," he said, "I haven't received my Social Security check yet, so
I'm not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be
okay?" "A lousy quarter?" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think
we're going to waste our time, beating these cans around for a quarter,
you're nuts! No way, mister. We quit!" And the old man enjoyed peace.
