One man was downing drinks faster than usual when the man on the barstool next to him said, "What's wrong?"
The first man said, "I'm drinking to the memory of my wife. She was a saint on earth. She went to church every single morning, spent her days reading and quoting the Scriptures, sang hymns and psalms all evening, filled our house with religious statues and paintings, and invited priests and nuns to dinner three times a week."
"She sounds like an angel," the second man commented, "I suppose the good Lord took her early to Himself."
"No," the first man replied. "I strangled her."

There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered. This was one of those "I don't want to be bothered times."

He came and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop but he didn't look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he spoke.
