The distinguished
professor and his chauffeur were talking one day on the way to the
next speaking engagement . . .
. . . and the driver said,
"I've sat in the back and listened to your presentation so
many times that I can give it just as well as you can."
The professor said "I'll bet
you can't. Just to prove it, we'll trade clothes in the hotel, and
I'll sit in the back."
The chauffeur delivered the
lecture flawlessly, and the audience applauded him roundly. Then a
pompous professor from the local university, wishing to impress
his colleagues in the audience, stood and asked a very specific
question concerning the driver's presentation.
The driver said, "I am
amazed that you would ask such a silly question. The answer is so
obvious that I am going to ask my chauffeur, who is sitting in the
back, to answer your ridiculous question."

Great comeback
lines from kids too young to appreciate them . . .
When I was six months pregnant
with my third child, my 3-year-old came into the room when I was
just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mommy,
you are getting fat!"
I replied, "Yes, honey,
remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy."
"I know," she replied,
"but what is growing in your butt?"
Finding one of her students
making faces at others on the playground, Mrs. Smith stopped to
gently reprove the child.
Smiling sweetly, the
teacher said, "Bobby, when I was a child, I was told that if
I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I would stay like
that."
Bobby looked up and replied,
"Well, Mrs. Smith, you can't say you weren't warned."
