5 A Joke— “I stand corrected”

I have this friend who always seemed to lean slightly to the left all the time. It used to bother me,so I suggested he see a doctor,and have his legs checked out. For years,he refused and told me I was crazy,but last week,he finally went. Sure enough,the doctor discovered his left leg was a quarter inch shorter than his right.

A quick bit of surgery later,he was cured,and both legs are exactly the same length now,and he no longer leans. “So,”I said,”You didn’t believe me when I told you a doctor.

My father asked me if I could try to make a fire. I was glad to take the job. Then I tried to set fire to the wood with a match,but produced only smoke.
