Driving school

The teenager was nervous as he took the wheel for his first driving lesson.

As he pulled out of the parking lot, the instructor said, “Turn left here, and don’t forget to let the people behind you know what you’re doing.”

The teen turned to the students sitting in the back seat and announced, “I’m going left.”

The time has come

An old married couple are sitting on the couch watching a television show about how to prepare for death and end-of-life decisions.

“Honey,” says the man, turning to his wife, with a serious expression, “I want you to promise me that if there ever comes a time when I’m dependent on just machines and bottled fluid, you will make sure to put an end to it.”

“No problem,” she tells him. And she promptly got up, turned off the TV and poured his beer down the sink.

Easy diagnosis

A mother takes her son to a psychiatrist and says, “Doctor, I’d like for you to evaluate my 13-year-old son.”

The doctor answers, “He’s suffering from transient psychosis with an intermittent rage disorder, punctuated by episodic radical mood swings, but his prognosis is good for full recovery.”

The mother says, “How can you say all that without even meeting him?”

The doctor says, “Didn’t you say he was 13?”

A good lunch

When the power went off at the elementary school, the cook couldn’t serve a hot meal in the cafeteria. Instead, she prepared great stacks of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. As one little boy filled his plate, he said, “At last – a home-cooked meal.”
