MISTAKEN ANGELS!
(Poor Arthur!)

Arthur rubbed the old lamp he'd purchased at a flea market, and sure enough,
a genie appeared.
"Thanks for setting me free," said the grateful spirit.
"Aren't you going to grant me a wish?" asked hopeful Arthur, who loves angel stories.
"Are you kidding?" answered the genie. "If I could grant wishes, would I have been
in that lousy lamp all this time?"



MISTAKEN IDENTITY!
(Poor Jan!)

At a party, my sister Jan withdrew for a while to breast-fed her two-month-old son.
A seven-year-old at the party, who was looking at her since some moment, asked
if she could go with her and watched with interest.
"Does milk really come out of there?" she asked Jan.
Jan convinced her that it did.
There was complete silence. Then the youngster suddenly asked,
"Do you eat grass too?"



MISTAKEN PURPOSE!
(Poor me!)

On my first visit to Singapore, I was descending a long escalator at the beautiful airport.
I put my heavy overnight bag on the step beside me as I admired the surroundings. But
when I bent down to pick up the bag, I missed the trap, over balanced and landed on
my backside on the moving step.
At the bottom, the escalator eased me smoothly onto the floor. An elderly Chinese lady
standing there was most concerned at this unorthodox arrival of the decently-clad
gentleman who was me.
To hide my embarrassment and reassure her, I hooped up quickly and laughed. Her
concern changed to surprised mock. "Just for fun?" she asked.
