A guy was known among his friends to be very brief and to the point \u2013 he really never said too much.<\/h2>\n

One day, a saleswoman knocked on his door and asked to see his wife, so the guy told her that she wasn\u2019t home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell,\u201d the woman said, \u201ccould I please wait for her?\u201d<\/p>\n

The man directed her to the drawing room and left her there for more than three hours.<\/p>\n

After feeling really worried, she called out for him an asked, \u201cMay I ask where your wife is?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe went to the cemetery,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when is she coming back?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really know,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s been there eleven years now!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two guys were talking at work.<\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a problem,\u201d said the first one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife has done it to me again. I\u2019m supposed to buy my mother-in- law a present for her birthday, from the two of us. And, I am fresh out of ideas. I mean, it\u2019s HER mother, why can\u2019t she buy it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did you buy her last year?\u201d the other one asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year I bought her a VERY EXPENSIVE cemetery plot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHmmmm\u2026, hard to top that one,\u201d said the other.<\/p>\n

The two guys couldn\u2019t come up with anything. So the son-in-law didn\u2019t buy his mother-in-law anything for her birthday.<\/p>\n

When the big day arrived the next weekend, she was a bit upset. At the family gathering for her birthday, she announced out loud to everyone, \u201cThank you all for the wonderful gifts. Too bad my daughter and son-in-law weren\u2019t so thoughtful!\u201d<\/p>\n

Thinking quickly, the son-in-law responded, \u201cWell, you haven\u2019t used the gift I gave you last year!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some time ago, a man had two sons.<\/h2>\n

As they got older, everyone quickly realized that Jackson was very sharp, while Blake was about as sharp as a spoon. They were both loved very much and cared for. As time went by, the father got sick and eventually passed away.<\/p>\n

Jackson called his brother on the phone and told him: \u201cListen, I have an enormously important business meeting I must attend, but I will get on the first flight home. Here are my credit card details, please make sure dad looks his best and gets everything money can buy for his funeral, spare no expense!\u201d<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t sure this was a great idea, given that Blake was\u2026 well, Blake, but he had no one else to call.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, Blake took care of everything, and did it with a rather decent budget. Jackson was pleasantly surprised and the funeral went well, if a sad and emotional affair for all.<\/p>\n

A few months later Jackson calls Blake again. \u201cListen,\u201d he says. \u201cI don\u2019t want to make accusations or nothin\u2019, but could it be that you are still using my card for about $300 dollars every month? I can see it here on my credit report.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course not!\u201d said Blake, insulted. \u201cI would never steal from you, you know that!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYea, I do.\u201d Said Jackson, \u201cBut how do you explain these?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh,\u201d said Blake, \u201cI bet those are for dad\u2019s tux. You said you wanted him to look his best so I rented the most expensive suit in town!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
