LAUGH OF THE DAY: An Elderly Challenge...

A high school student challenged a senior citizen, saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his.
“You grew up in a different world,” the student said. “Today we have cell phones, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, iPods…”
Taking advantage of a pause in the student’s argument, the elderly man said, “You’re right. We didn’t have those things when we were young... so we invented them. What are you doing for the next generation?”

"Well put," the judge replied with a grin. "Using that same logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. Your client can accompany the arm or not, as he chooses."
The defendant smiled. … (4 comments)
