One day, in the mental institute, a doctor visited one of his new patients.
"How are you today?" he asked, when he saw his patient.
"Oh. I'm fine thank you very much. How about you?" replied the patient.

"Oh, heavens no. The mosquitoes were such a bother, I got so angry that I put up a mosquito net around the bed but I climbed under the bed. HA! They can bite whatever they want inside the net, but I'll be safe and sound under the bed," answered the patient with an air of dignity.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) announced last week that they were going to start using lawyers instead of rats in their experiments.

There are some things even a rat won't do.

A simple alternative, now that McDonald`s has spread to virtually every country on earth, has become to look at what a Big Mac costs, the IW said.
"A particularly hungry American can buy five Big Macs for 11 dollars. If he exchanged the money into Deutsch-marks, more...
