a woman also advanced in years. Alex and Ruth danced every dance together.

Afterward, they went out for coffee. As they walked home, Ruth said,

Ruth said, "Three."

GCF: Kraft Dinner

Before going off to a conference for work, a wife told her husband to
give their kids Kraft Dinner for supper.

When suppertime came, however, he didn't feel like cooking and
instead took the kids out to a local fast-food restaurant. While
they were eating he told them to tell their mother that they had
Kraft Dinner for supper if she asked, or else Daddy would get into trouble.

Later, at bedtime, the wife called to say goodnight to the kids and
asked the five-year-old daughter what they had eaten for supper.

"Kraft Dinner," was the reply. As the husband took a sigh of relief,
she added brightly, "From Dairy Queen!"

GCF: Case Closed

Several women, each trying to one-up the other, appeared in court,
each accusing the others of causing the trouble they were having in
the apartment building where they lived.

The judge, with Solomon-like wisdom decreed, "Okay, I'm ready to hear
the evidence ... I'll hear the oldest first."

The case was dismissed for lack of testimony.

What is "GCF:Case closed"?

Oh BTW, deft use of the copy and paste there Dick.

U.S. policy is to consider "all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants ... unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent." America targets these individuals using a "disposition matrix" that serves to keep track of the ever-evolving procedures and legal justifications for placing suspects on the U.S. "kill list."

And the Obama administration refuses to reveal its methods or justifications for bombing a target, indicated by a recent ruling to deny a FOIA request regarding the targeted killing of the 16-year-old American-born son.

From Judge Colleen McMahon's opinion: I find myself stuck in a paradoxical situation in which I cannot solve a problem because of contradictory constraints and rules.

So the U.S. has the benefit of the doubt, even when it carries out "signature strikes" in which the identities of those killed on the ground is unknown and the decision to strike hinges upon recognition of certain undisclosed behaviors and tendencies.

GCF: Lost the Car

When out shopping at her local supermarket, an elderly woman forgot
where she'd parked. A nearby police officer, noticing her agitation,
asked, "Is something wrong?"

"I can't find my car," she explained.

"What kind is it?" he inquired sympathetically.

The old lady gave him a quizzical look. "Name some"

GCF: Honor System

Driving back from Vermont, I stopped at a vegetable stand. It was
deserted except for a sleeping German Shepherd. I stepped over the
dog, helped myself to some corn, then opened the cashbox to pay.
Taped to the inside of the lid was this note: "The dog can count."

I don't follow this, is it actually funny in America? There seems to be many faults with this.

If the dog is asleep, how would it know a) how much you put in the till and b) how much change you took. Did you weigh the corn? Does the dog monitor that?

Also, is it normal to help yourself to goods? Why not wait for the stall holder? In the UK, it would be polite to wait a few minutes.

Also, is a smallholder insane enough to leave a stall of veg completely open to robbery?

I don't understand that joke either, although I'm sure it's supposed to be "tongue-in-cheek" humor and only meant for certain individuals to understand. Is this a concept not commonplace in the UK? No wonder why sarcasm seems to elude certain British members on this forum. I'll have to be more careful with phrasing.

The concept of a joke is to be funny, Dick's copy and paste efforts fail on the basic necessity.

Yes, sarcasm is a skill yet to be mastered by Americans, personally I prefer satire. Although if you try sarcasm, let me know and I'll see if there is any improvement.

I still don't get the "GCF" bit either.

I'm afraid you are underqualified to grade either.

Neither do I, even after his "explanation."

GCF: From the mouth of "Babes, Lost in the Store

From halfway across the store, I could hear a mother calling for her son: "Jimmy, Jimmy!"

I turned a corner into another aisle and found a six-year-old by himself playing with some umbrellas. "Are you Jimmy?" I asked.

"Yes, I am."

"Didn't you hear your mother call?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you going to go to her?"

He shook his head. "No, she's not hysterical yet."
