Jerry’s Jottings

It was Sunday morning and Mom told little Tommy to get dressed for church. She told him it was time he dressed himself. She then went to get dressed. After she was done, she went to check on Tommy.

Little Tommy was taking a long time but he finally came out and asked his mom to help him with his tie. He had all his good clothes on except his shirt. His shirt was one of his old shirts that was torn and tattered. She asked him, “Why did you choose that shirt to go to church?”

Tommy   said,  “It is the best shirt for church, because it is ‘hole-y’!”

Ole’s cousin, Tilford, was inducted into the army. One day, he encountered an officer and Tilford failed to salute. The offended officer boomed ina  loud voice,  “Soldier, do you know what these stars mean?” “Sure” answered Tilford. “I s’pose dey mean you got four sons in da army.”

I have a map of the United States… Actual size. It says, “Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile.” I spent last summer folding it. I also have a full-size map of the world. I hardly ever unroll it. People ask me where I live, and I say, “E6”.
