The Funniest People in Families

<p>This is a short quick and easy read.</p><p>Some samples:</p><p>1) Just after the end of World War II while country comedian Archie Campbell was still an enlisted man in the United States Navy he hadn't seen his wife for a long time so he asked Lieutenant Sam Bailey if a way could be arranged for him to see her. Therefore Lieutenant Bailey asked Mr. Campbell to take an apparatus to Florida to have it repaired-of course Mr. Campbell had his wife meet him in Florida. At the repair shop Mr. Campbell asked how long it would take to have the apparatus repaired and the technician assured him that it would be repaired by the very next day. This was bad news for Mr. Campbell and his wife so he explained the situation to the technician saying I haven't seen my wife in over a year. Take longer than that. The technician replied In that case it will take at least a week.</p><p>2) One Christmas Pope John XXIII went to a children's hospital to visit the patients. One child Silvio Colagrande had been blind but could now see because a dying priest Don Gnocchi had willed his eyes to Silvio and the corneas had been transplanted. Upon seeing the Pope Silvio called out I see you with Don Gnocchi's eyes. Another child seven-year-old Carmine Gemma had recently become blind as the result of an attack of meningitis. He told Pope John XXIII You're the Pope I know but I can't see you. The Pope held Carmine's hands for a while then he murmured We are all blind sometimes.</p><p>3) Anne Sexton once wrote a volume of poetry titled Love Poems. One poem was intended to be titled Twenty-One Days Without You because her career required her to spend that amount of time away from her husband. However the title had to be changed to Eighteen Days Without You after her husband said to her I can't stand it any longer; you haven't been with me for days.</p>
