"shortly after opening my hardware business today, a boy who was barely thirteen and young enough to be my grandson proudly presented a cheque which he had earned at the local fish plant. i had not considered him to be witty but he was always courteous and changing his cheque was the least i could do. as i presented him with his money, i jokingly asked if he was getting ready for some boozing. ""no sir"", he replied, ""i'm using that money to buy a paint ball gun."" ""what would you do with a paint ball gun....paint some balls?"" i asked, not meaning any profanity. without hesitating, he replied, ""i suppose you could use it for that, but it would be awfully painful.""   Submitted By: NULL
