Sharing is caring.

[After reading an ad for puppies in the newspaper, an elderly woman calls to investigate.]

Woman: I really would like to buy one of your pups. Where are you all from, again?
Man: [Town A].
Woman: Well, I'm in [Town B], and that's an awful long way to drive. My son-in-law would bring me, but he died last week.

Dragon v. Lion

Guy: You think you're better than me?! Well, you had better think differently because if you were a lion, and I was a zebra, I'd eat you! Wait, that doesn't make any sense. Does anything fight a lion and win? Oh, yeah. If you were a lion and I was a dragon, I'd eat you. There.
