A class was given homework to find out something exciting and tell the class the next day. When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy that the teacher called on walked up to the front of the class. He picked up a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard and sat back down. Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was. "It's a 'period'" he replied. "I can see that" said the teacher, "but what is so exciting about a 'period' ?" "Darned if I know" said the boy 'but yesterday my sister was missing one, Mum fainted, Dad had a heart attack, and the boy next door joined the Army !"
A devoted wife had spent her lifetime taking care of her husband. When he was slipping in and out of a coma for several months, she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times." "When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side." "You know what?" "What, dear?" his wife asked gently. "I think you are bad luck."
