My father still keeps the first dollar he ever made-and the police still keep the machine he made it with.

  

"I may want to read it again one day" is the reason why my husband keeps every book he reads. Over 25 years most of them, never opened again after the first reading, have accumulated in our cellar. One day, however, thinking he'd never notice their absence, I donated most of them to a charity book sale. As I stood admiring the empty cellar, I heard Frank call to me, "I'm home early so I can get to the book sale before it closes."
While he was gone, I prepared for the worst. But when he arrived home empty-handed, I asked him if there had been any books that interested him.
"Yes, there were lots of good ones," he replied, "but I've got them all,"

"Do you have any anniversary-birthday cards?" a man asked the stationer.
"We have anniversary cards and we have birthday cards, but we don't carry one that combines both. Why?"
"Simple ," replied the man. "My wife is celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of her thirty-fourth birthday."
