More of Jack's early remembrances with his wife Marta~

One time I was going to throw a surprise party for Marta, but the surprise ended up being on me. That's because the party seemed like too much trouble and I eventually gave up, and I was surprised to find out I was lazy.

One afternoon, when I was about ten, I decided to walk over to the "wrong side of the tracks." At first I was a little scared. But then I noticed that the yards were nice, and so were the houses. In fact, most of the houses were better than those on our side of the tracks. A lot better.

When I told Dad I wanted a kite he said, "Okay, but instead of buying a kite, let's make one." So we did. Then, about a month later, we also made me a bicycle, but it blew away.

Funny stuff, thanks!

I love each and every one of these. I like to think of myself as pretty funny and clever, but reading these makes me realize how he makes his living at it, and I just sit here like a bump on a log.

Jack Handy is great

Those things never get old =D
