I remember some kid from the mental ward coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn normally we spank you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right

I was working at an auto parts store one time and a fellow came in and said "I want a ram for my truck." I said "You want a what?" He said "I want a ram , you know , a ram. The tire goes on the ram"
