“A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.” (Proverbs 18:7-8)

Betty, the town gossip and self-appointed supervisor of the town's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Most local residents were unappreciative of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. However, she made a mistake when she recently accused Ted, a LMAO! local man, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked outside the town's only bar one afternoon. Ted, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and walked away. Later that evening, he parked his pickup truck in front of her house and left it there all night.

Hey Mom," asked Little Johnny, "Can you give me $20?" "Certainly not." "If you do," he went on, "I'll tell you what Dad said to the maid when you were at the beauty shop." His mother's ears perked up and, grabbing her purse, she handed over the money. "Well? What did he say?" "He said, 'Hey Maria, could you make sure I've got clean socks tomorrow?'" IP: Logged |
