Don't Tell Anyone

Attitude Toward Whiskey
A Congressman was once asked about his attitude toward whiskey.
"If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the
body, desecrates family life, and inflames sinners, then I'm
against it.
But if you mean the elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against
winter chill, the taxable potion that puts needed funds into public
coffers to comfort little crippled children, then I'm for it. This
is my position, and I will not compromise."
Only One Kiss
Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, a pretty girl
asked, "I want to buy this material for a new dress.
How much does it cost?"
"Only one kiss per yard, " replied the smirking male clerk.
"That's fine," replied the girl. "I'll take ten yards." With
expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the
clerk hurriedly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held
it out teasingly. The girl snapped up the package and pointed
to a little old man standing beside her. "Grandpa will pay the
bill," she smiled.
