The Quarter
===========
A father walked into the market followed by his ten-year-old
son. The kid was spinning a quarter in the air and catching
it between his teeth. As they walked through the market,
someone bumped into the boy at just the wrong moment and the
coin went straight into his mouth and lodged in his throat.
He immediately started choking and going blue in the face,
and his Dad started panicking, shouting and screaming for help.
A middle-aged man in a gray suit was sitting at a coffee
bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping a cup
of coffee. At the sound of the commotion he looked up, put
his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folded his newspaper
and placed it on the counter. He got up from his seat and made
his way nonchalantly across the market. Reaching the boy, the
man carefully took hold of the kid's gonads and squeezed
gently but firmly.
After a few seconds the boy convulsed violently and coughed up
the quarter, which the man caught in his free hand. Releasing
the boy, the man gave the coin to the father and walked back
to his seat in the coffee bar without looking back.
As soon as he was sure that his son had suffered no lasting ill
effects, the father rushed over to the man and thanked him
profusely. The man looked embarrassed and brushed off the
father's thanks.
"I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic.
What are you, a surgeon or something like that?"
"Oh, good heavens no," the man replied. "I work for the IRS."
A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner
with her parents.
This being a big event, the girl tells herboyfriend that after dinner,
she would like to go out and "do it" for the first time.
Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never done it before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist
to get some protection.
The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour.
He tells the boy everything there is to know about protection and doing it.
At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many he'd like to buy;
a 3-pack, a 10-pack, or a family pack.
The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be very busy,
it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parent's house and
meets his girlfriend at the door.
"Oh I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in."
The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated.
The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head.
A minute passes, and the boy still deep in prayer with his head down.
Ten minutes pass and still no movement from the boy.
Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and
whispers to her boyfriend, "I had no idea you were so religious."
The boy turns and whispers back,
"I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."
