A customer at Green's Fishmongers marvelled
at the proprietor's quick wit and
intelligence.
"Tell me, Mr Green, what makes you so intelligent?"
"I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone," Green replies, lowering his
voice so the
other shoppers won't hear. "But since you're a good and faithful customer,
I'll let you in on
it. Fish heads. You eat enough of them, you'll be positively brilliant."
"You sell them here?" the customer asks.
"Only £3 apiece," says Green.
The customer buys three. A week later, he's back complaining that the fish
heads were
disgusting and he isn't any smarter.
"You didn't eat enough, " says Green. The customer goes home with 20 more
fish heads.
Two weeks later, he's back and this time he's really angry.
"Hey, Mr Green," he says, "You're selling me fish heads for £3 each when I
can buy the
whole fish for £2.50. You're ripping me off!"
"You see?" says Green. "You're getting smarter already!"

A young man from the city went to visit his farmer uncle. For the first
few days, the uncle
showed him the usual things - chickens, cows, crops, etc. After three
days, however, it
was obvious that the nephew was getting bored, and the uncle was running
out of things to
amuse him with.
Finally, the uncle decided to give them a real treat. "Why don't you grab
a gun, take my
prized hunting dogs, and go have some fun shooting?"
This seemed to cheer the nephew up, and with enthusiasm, off he went, dogs
in trail.
After a few hours, the nephew returned.
"How did you enjoy that?" asked the uncle.
"It was great!" exclaimed the nephew. "Got any more dogs?"

A man goes to see the Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I
have to talk
to you about it."
The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?"
The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me."
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?"
The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me.
What should I do?"
The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her. I'll see what I
can find out and I'll
let you know."
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says. "I spoke to your
wife...spoke to her on the
phone for three hours. You want my advice?"
The man said yes, and the Rabbi replied, "Take the poison!"
