A State Police Officer once received a call from a woman who asked him how to baste a turkey. After a stunned moment, he, being a fairly good cook, described the procedure.

There was only a slight hesitation before she replied, "Well, you knew, didn't you?" and hung up.

The body of any organization has four bones:

1. Wish bones, who spend all their time wishing someone else will do all the work.

2. Jaw Bones, who do all the talking and very little else.

3. Knuckle Bones, who knock everything that everybody else tries to do.

4. Back Bones, who get under the load and do all the work.

A father was waiting nearby while his young son prayed silently before going to bed. Suddenly the boy burst out laughing.
