A spokesperson for the U.S. Mint announced that a new fifty-cent piece was being issued to honor two great American patriots.
On one side of the coin would be Teddy Roosevelt and on the other side, Nathan Hale. Asked why two people were going to be on the same coin, the spokesman replied, “Now, when you toss a coin, you can simply call…. ‘Ted’s or Hale’s’.”

It’s early fall, Joe is out raking leaves.
He sees his chocolate Lab come around the corner of the garage, carrying something in his mouth. The Lab drops it at his feet. It’s the neighbor’s poodle. It’s dead. “Oh, no.” Now what do you do? Joe is panicking. The neighbors aren’t home. They only have one car and it’s gone. He goes over into their yard, takes the little poodle and puts it on the leash that’s lying there. He thinks to himself, “It was an old dog, maybe they’ll think it died of natural causes.” Joe goes back to raking leaves and trying to look like everything’s normal. The neighbors come home. The wife sees the little poodle lying in the front yard. She runs over, picks it up and cuddles it, crying away. Joe walks over, remembering to act normal, and says, “Is your little dog OK?” “No!”, she says. “No!” “He died two days ago! Some horrible monster dug him up and put him back on his leash!”
