Sweet Lady Biscuits

Mustapha just came into the kitchen where his wife was making him a fresh pot of tea.

“Had a good day at work, dear?” she said.

The Fool On The Bus

Two women were having their lunch break so Risa decided to join them. The two ladies' lively chat was cut short on Risa's arrival. Or rather, the subject of the discussion changed.

Granted, he also got rid of the old windshield too. But it was already cracked and needed repair anyway, he's just helping things along.

That Kid With The Fingers

There's this kid I know who had five fingers. Only five fingers for his two hands. He is the happiest little kid I know. Every time I see him he's always smiling.

They're both talking about a riddle they just heard and are both trying to figure it out.
