Pre-weekend joke

I noticed that some of my blog friends are feeling rather stressed out. They may be going through some personal challenges, in respect of their health, their jobs or relationships.

I hope their burdens will be eased soon and their hearts will be filled with peace and joy.

In the meantime, I dedicate a smile to them in anticipation of a blessed weekend.

********************

A high school boy was going out on his first date. His mother was trying to help him overcome his nervousness before he left. She said,

"John, both you and the young lady may be a little nervous on this first date. Be sure to put her at ease."

"How do I do that, Mom?"

"Compliment her on something. That's always appropriate. It will relieve the tension and make her feel good."

After the dance, as John drove the young lady home, he suddenly realized that he hadn't remembered to compliment her. He racked his brain for something nice to say. Finally, it came:

"Gertrude, for a fat girl you sure don't sweat much."
