The Lighter Side Plan ahead
A groundhog named Phil woke up on February 2nd, peeked out of his burrow, saw his shadow, and sighed dramatically.
He turned to his wife and said, "Six more weeks of winter... but at least we'll have Valentine's Day to look forward to!"
She rolled her eyes and replied, "Honey, you say that every year. And every year you still forget to get me flowers."
Phil thought for a second, then grinned.
"True... but this time I'm prepared! I already ordered them."
"Really?" she asked, surprised.
"Yeah," he said proudly, "I got you a dozen roses... they're just six weeks late because of the shadow thing."
The Lion Tamer
A man tells the circus master that he wants to join the circus as a lion tamer. The circus master asked if he has any experience and the man says, "Why, yes. My father was one of the most famous lion tamers in the world, and he taught me everything he knew."
"Really?" said the circus master. "Did he teach you how to make a lion jump through a flaming hoop?"
"Yes he did," the man replies.
"And did he teach you how to have six lions form a pyramid?"
"Yes he did," the man replies.
"And have you ever stuck your head in a lion's mouth?"
"Just once," the man replies.
The circus master asks, "Why only once?"
The man says, "I was looking for my father."
