Three mice are being chased by a cat.

Three mice are being chased by a cat.

The mice were cornered when one of the mice turned around and barked, “Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!”

The surprised cat ran away scared.

Later when the mice told their mother what happened, she smiled and said, “You see, it pays to be bilingual!”

Two salesmen were going door to door, and knocked on the door of a woman who was not happy to see them.

She told them in certain terms that she did not want to hear their offer and slammed the door in their faces.

To her surprise, however, the door did not close and, in fact, bounced back open.

She tried again, really put her back into it, and slammed the door again with the same result — the door bounced back open.

Convinced, these rude people were sticking their foot in the door, she reared back to give it a slam that would teach them a lesson, when one of them said:

“Ma’am, before you do that again, you need to move your cat.”

A man bought a mousetrap.

When he brought it home, he discovered that he had no cheese to bait it with. So he found a picture of some cheese and put the picture in the trap.

The next morning he went to the trap to see if it had caught anything. The picture of the cheese was gone. In its place was a picture of a mouse.
