JOKE #11
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd. While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from
laughing so hard by the time he reached the engaged couple. The bride leaned over and asked what the boy was doing.
He proudly replied, "I'm the Ring Bear!"
I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every
month. Harlan Miller
