    Default The brass rat

    A man walked into a curio store and was shopping around. After awhile, he chose a brass rat and brought it up to the counter.
    "That will be $10 for the brass rat and $1,000 for the story behind it," said the proprietor.

    "Thanks, but I'll just pay the $10 and pass on the story." He purchased the brass rat and left the store. As he was walking down the street, he started noticing all sorts of rats following him. The further he walked, the more rats followed. He walked down to the wharf and still more rats came out and followed him. So, he decided to walk out into the water, all the rats drowned. He returned to the store shortly.

    "Ah-ha!" said the proprietor. "You've come back for the story, right?"

    "Nope," said the man. "You have got any brass lawyers?"

    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    That reminds me of this one..............

    An engineer, a good fellow all his life , unfortunately passed away and when he got to the pearly gates he was told he was not allowed into heaven and was sent to hell.

    After a while, he began fixing a few things and started building sewers, got a gang together and made some roads, put in air conditioning and lots of other good stuff. The devil noticed the improvements and gave him all the workers he required.

    Then God discovered there had been a terrible mistake and because he's been good all his life he should be in heaven. God contacted the Devil and asked for the engineer to be sent up. No pleased at the likelyhood of losing such a valuable inmate, the Devil responded "No Way ! You're not getting him under any circumstances!"

    "Alright then" said God, I'll sue !

    "HA!" replied the Devil, "and where do you think you'll find a Lawyer!"
