A husband and wife were driving down a country lane on their way to visit some friends. They came to a muddy patch in the road and the car became bogged. After a few minutes of trying to get the car out by themselves, they saw a young farmer coming down the lane, driving some oxen before him.

He stopped when he saw the couple in trouble and offered to pull the car out of the mud for $50. The husband accepted and minutes later the car was free.

The farmer turned to the husband and said, "You know, you're the tenth car I've helped out of the mud today."

A lawyer's dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and steals a roast. The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" The lawyer answers, "Absolutely."

"Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today."

The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50. The butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, leaves.

In a fancy restaurant in Columbia, a Yuppie
started to choke on a bone. A man rushed
over, reassured the Yuppie that he was going
to be all right and identified himself as a doctor.
He performed the Heimlich Maneuver. The
bone popped out.

As the man's breath & voice returned he said,
"I'm ever so grateful doctor, how can I ever
repay you?"

The doctor smiled and said, "I'll settle for
one-tenth of what you were willing to pay
while you were choking."
