Two young women were discussing their new boyfriends.

"So, your new boyfriend is a French-horn player. What's he like?" inquired the first gal.

"Well, he's a great kisser," said the second, "but he sure does hold me funny."

An antiques collector stopped in a pawn shop and saw a golden rat on a shelf. He asked the price, and the dealer said "$50, or $100 with the explanation". He takes the $50 price, and on his walk home every rat in town came out to follow him. Soon he was besieged on all sides with rats, and in a panic he ran to the bridge and threw the golden rat into the canal. All of the rats jumped in after it, and drown.

He returned to the store, where upon the dealer asked him if he wanted the explanation. He replied "No, I want the price on that golden banjo".

Three guys are drinking in a bar. The first guy says, "It's been a good year. I'm an accountant and I cleared 86,000 this year." The second says, "I'm a doctor and I cleared 150,000 this year." The third guy looks dejected and says, "I only made 14,000 this year." The doctor says, "No kidding? ... What kind of strings do you use?"
