Kathleen was a wreck. She’d just caught Jim fooling around (again) with another girl. What to do? What to do?
Making up her mind, she looked up “Witches” in the Yellow Pages and made an appointment to see Ms. Serry.

Was my party guests screaming, “We’ve run out of beer!”
I laughed for a moment, said, “They’re pulling my leg”
For I had just tapped a half-barrel keg.“No, Really, we’re out!” someone shrieked out of fright
And the crowd grew more restless; surely thereÕd be a fight.

“No, silly,” she replies, snuggling up to him.
“Your boyfriend, then?” he continues.
“No, not at all,” she says, nibbling away at his ear.

A timely tale from Mel Lett. And how are them Aggies doin’ this year?
A guy took his girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team’s bench… After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.
“Oh, I really liked it,” she replied, “especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn’t understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents.”
Dumbfounded, her date asked, “What do … Read the rest...
