Sign on a whorehouse door: CLOSED FOR BUSINESS. BEAT IT. ******************************************************************* Written on the wall of a bathroom stall: "It don't help to stand on the seat, the crabs in here can jump six feet." ******************************************************************* A man decided to go visit a pal of his from high school. On the drive over he wonders why 25 years have passed since he'd seen his old friend, however once he sees him he remembers. His friend is a horrible braggard. Everything he has is better, or he's worked harder to get it. As the two men walk the grounds the man says "My, what a nice place you have here." "Oh, you should have seen it when I got here" responds his friend. "Nothing but trees and boulders. I spent a year cutting down all the trees, and I only used a saw and axe. No chainsaws for me, I do everything the hard way. And the boulders, why I spent another year digging them out and I didn't use a tractor, nosiree, I hauled them out with a mule. I do everything the hard way." 'Oh boy,' thought the man to himself, 'This guy can really lay it thick.' Spotting the man's house he remarks "Wow, nice house." To this his friend answers, "Yup, built it myself from the logs when I cleared the land. I didn't use any nails, either, everything is tongue and groove, post and beam, and pegs. I do everything the hard way." 'What a bozo!' thinks the man. "What a beautiful pond!" "Yep," answers the man, "but you should have seen it before I moved here. Nothing but swamp! I had to dig it out myself by hand, kill all the algae and I stocked it with fish. And when I built this dock, I had to use scuba gear to put in the pilings. I do everything the hard way." Just then the man notices the other fellow's six kids playing in the back yard. Feeling flippant he quips "Well, I see you've taken it easy at least six times in your life!" "No sir," comes the reply, "We did it standing up in a canoe!"
