Two Beggars
Jose and Carlos are beggars. They beg in different areas of town. Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects about eight or nine dollars a day.
Jose brings home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day, he drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has a lot of money to spend.
“Hey, amigo,” Carlos says to Jose, “I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?
Jose says, “Look at your sign, what does it say?” Carlo’s sign reads; “I have no work, a wife and six kids to support.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Carlos asks him.
Jose says, “No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!”
Carlo’s says, “Alright, what does your sign say?”
It reads, “I only need another ten dollars to get back to Mexico.”

Goat for Dinner
The young couple invited their elderly pastor for Sunday dinner. While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having. “Goat,” the little boy replied.
“Goat?” replied the startled man of the cloth, “Are you sure about that?”
“Yep,” said the youngster. “I heard Dad say to Mom, ‘Today is just as good as any to have the old goat for dinner.’”
