Nice one!

Give or take. . .

The old truism: no matter how old or tough you are, if a 2-year-old hands you
a toy telephone, you 'answer' it!

Not any more, with $400+ fines -- just having a phone in your reach'll get 
you fined. 

An old guy had a mobile in his car, in a cubby in his dash, with no signal --
he only had it on for music.  Judge upheld the ticket (they're in on it, too)

Prince Charles was visiting here in BC, Canada, in the Okanagan (top fruit
tree growing region)

He was inspecting one of the oldest orchards.  He asked the farmer what they
do with such a glut of apricots?

He answered, "We eat what we can, & what we can't, we can!"

"Oh, jolly good bit of wit, that," Charles replied, trying to remember it to
tell to mummy when he returns home after his tour.

When he got home, he couldn't wai t to impress mummy with the joke he'd 
heard, "They have a clever saying there, mum, the farmer will consume what he
is able, and the remainder they'll preserve."

It's big in the Mid-West & New England, so maybe they gave the Piggly Wiggly 
a pass. . .

Too much of anything ruins it.

Yes, indeed! Give some people 2.54cm & they'll take 1.6 kilometres!

Q: Why does the metric system make so many friends with women?
A: It always wants to meter.

Americans don't like the metric system because most of them have a foot
fetish.

Adopting the metric system would help make US neighborhoods so much more
livable
Under the current Imperial system, every three feet is a new yard

When Americans say “We don’t use the metric system...”
It’s the Imperial we.

Down with the metric system
No more foreign rulers!

Your friend,
