Once upon a time, a
beautiful, independent,
self-assured princess happened upon a frog in a pond.
The frog said
to the princess, " I once was a handsome prince until an
evil witch
put a spell on me. One kiss from you and I will turn back
into a
prince and then we can marry, move into the castle with my mom and

you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and

forever feel happy doing so." That night, while the princess dined on frog

legs,she kept laughing and saying, "I don't THINK so."

Lying in a hospital bed, a dying man began to flail about and make motions as if he would like to speak. The priest, keeping watch at the side of his bed, leaned quietly over and asked, "Do you have something you would like to say?"
The man nodded to the affirmative and the priest handed him a pad and pen.

The priest said, "I know you can't speak, but write a note and I will give it to your wife. She's waiting just outside."
Gathering his last bit of strength, the man scrawled his message on the pad and stuffed it into the priest's hands.

Moments later, the man died.

After administering the last rites, the priest left to break the sad news to the wife. After consoling her a bit, the priest handed her the note.

"Here are your husband's last words. He wrote them just for you."

The wife tearfully opened the note which read: "Get off of my oxygen hose!!"

My wife crashed her car yesterday. She told the Police that the man she collided with was on his mobile and drinking beer from a can at the time. The Police said that the gentleman was entitled to do what ever he wanted in his own back garden.
