A grandfather bought a hobbyhorse by mail order as a Christmas present for his granddaughter.
The toy arrived in 189 pieces. The instructions said it could be put together in an hour. However it took the old man two days to assemble the toy.
Finally, when it was all put together, he wrote a check, cut it into 189 pieces and posted it off to the company.

Joke # 49 - Gasmen
Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck at the end of an alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house a woman looking out her window kitchen watched as they checked her meter.
Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his young co-worker to a footrace down the alley back to the truck to prove an older guy could outrun a younger one.
As they came tearing up to the truck, they realized that the lady of that end house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped immediately and asked her what was wrong.
"When I saw two gasmen running as hard as you were," gasped the woman, "I figured I'd better run too!"

Joke # 39 - The Challenge
The multi-millionaire Texan held a party for all his friends at his luxurious lone-star ranch. To add a twist to the party, he stocked the pool with alligators.
Halfway through the party he called everyone together and challenged his audience, "For anyone who can swim from one end of the pool to the other and survive, I will give them one of three choices; the deed to this ranch, a million dollars, or my daughter's hand in marriage."
Suddenly he heard a splash. As he and his guest turned toward the pool, they saw a man fighting for his life with the alligators. Miraculously, the man made it past the alligators and climbed out the other side of the pool.
The multi-millionaire went up to the man and said, "I am very proud of you for taking the challenge. I never thought that anyone would take the risk. Like I promised, you have three choices: the deed to this ranch, a million dollars, or my daughter's hand in marriage. Which will it be?"
The man looked at the host and said, "I have one question."
The owner replied, "What might that be?"
The man said, "Did you see who pushed me in?"
