  1. Jack Tippet’s reminds me of my Dad’s story about the adoption agency lady coming to our house to check it out after I was recently adopted. He was in the kitchen trying to get ketchup out of the bottle, and Mom was busy so I answered the door. The agency lady asked where my father was so I told her: “He’s in the kitchen hittin’ the bottle.”

  2. I like them all, but number 4 down by Jack Tippit is my favorite one here. The boy’s not lying; it just sounds strange. The top one by Cavalli is next. Poor mom for giving her son enough credit to know enough to take his clothes and cap off first!
