Jay borrowed a pot from his friend.
The next day, he gave the friend back the pot, plus another smaller pot.
The friend looked at the small pot and said, “What’s that?” “Your pot gave birth while I had it,” said Jay, “so I am giving you its child.”
The friend, happy to receive the bonus, did not ask another question. A week later, Jay once again borrowed the original pot from the friend. After a week passed, the friend asked Jay to return it.
“I can’t,” said Jay.
“Why not?” the friend asked.
“Well,” Jay answered, “I hate to be the bearer of bad news…but your pot has died.”
“What?” the friend asked with skepticism. “A pot can’t die!”
“Well, you believed it gave birth,` said Jay, “so why is it that you can’t believe it died?”

The group had surrounded a dog.
Concerned the boys were hurting the dog, the reverend went over and asked, “What are you doing with that dog?”
One of the boys replied, “This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we’ve decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog.”
The reverend was taken aback, “You boys shouldn’t be having a contest telling lies!” he exclaimed.
He then launched into a 10-minute sermon against lying, beginning, “Don’t you boys know it’s a sin to lie?” and ending with, “Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie.”
There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he’d gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, “All right, give him the dog.”

“I don’t want to go to school,” said a son to his father.
“Why not,” asked the father.
“I don’t feel well.”
“Where don’t you feel well,” the father asked.
“At school!”
