"Oldest Profession"

Three friends - a surgeon, an engineer, and a politician -
were discussing which of their professions was the oldest.
The surgeon said "Eve was created from Adam's rib - a
surgical procedure."

The engineer replied: "Before Adam and Eve, order was
created out of chaos, and that was an engineering job."

The politician said, "Yes, but who do you suppose created
the chaos?"

"Suspicious Tie"

At a clearance sale, the wife of a federal district court
judge found a green tie that was a perfect match for
one of her husband's sports jackets.

Soon after, while the couple was vacationing at a
resort complex to get his mind off a rather
complicated cocaine conspiracy case, he noticed
a small, round disc sewn into the design of the tie.

The judge showed it to a local FBI agent, who was
equally suspicious that it might be a 'bug' planted
by the conspiracy defendants. The agent sent the
device to FBI headquarters in Washington, DC for
analysis.

Two weeks later, the judge phoned the Washington
office to learn the results of their tests.

"We're not sure where the disc came from," the FBI
told him, "but we discovered that when you press it,
it plays 'Jingle Bells'."
