Lack of energy

 

 

"You know," said the pale young man to his friend, "I just don't seem to have any energy – and it's frustrating because I'm trying to write a novel."

"Have you tried chocolate?" asked the friend. It gave Montezuma energy you never dreamed of."

"Montezuma was writing a novel?"

"No. The story goes that he had the biggest harem in the world."

The next time the young man saw his friend, he rushed over and shook his hand. "I can't tell you how much that chocolate did for me!" he said.

"Good, good," replied the friend. "It helped your writing?"

"Writing?" asked the man. "Are you kidding? Who's got the time to write?"

Fast chicken

 

A man was driving 40km per hour along a village road. He noticed a chicken running alongside his car. All of a sudden the chicken put on a burst of speed, passed the car, and made an abrupt left turn into a lane leading to a farm house. Astounded , the driver backed up, turn down the lane, and found the farmer working in the yard. The driver stopped the car and got out and engaged the farmer in a friendly conversation. Unable to contain himself, he asked the farmer about the chicken that could run so fast.

"Yes," said the farmer, "we breed them that way here. They all have three legs!"

"Fantastic," said the visitor. "How do they taste?"

"Beats me," said the farmer. "We haven't been able to catch one yet."
