Pecans In The Cemetery
On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old
pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day,
two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts & sat down by
the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts.
"One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me,"
said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward
the fence.
Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle.
As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside
the cemetery.
He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he
heard: "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me."
He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and
rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a
cane, hobbling along.
"Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what
I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery
dividing up the souls."
The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to
walk." When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled to
the cemetery.
Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me.
One for you, one for me..."
The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth.
Let's see if we can see the Lord." Shaking with fear, they
peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything.
The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the
fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the
Lord. At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all.
Now let's go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done."
They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes
ahead of the boy on the bike.
I rear-ended a car this morning. I tell you, I knew right then and there that it was going to be a REALLY bad day!
The driver got out of the other car, and wouldn't you know it! He was a DWARF!!
He looked up at me and said, 'I am NOT happy!'
That's how the fight started.

Too bad you didn't shout "BULLSEYE!!!" when you reared the vertically challenged sucker:).
Oh well, the most worrying thing fighting with a dwarf, if you are a guy, is that he is closer to your "nuts" than you are to his:) Let's face it, it is his equivalent of a face punch to hit someone there since it is around his eyes height:) Oh well, good thing you are a girl then:)
Take care and I hope your verbal abuse of him was up there with the best:)
Later.
