In the first, a guy said he came up behind a car stuck in deep snow at a stop sign. The lady driver was out putting sand under the front tires. This was back in the sixties, when almost all cars were rear wheel drive. The guy got out and went up to her and asked if maybe she should put the sand under the back tires. She looked at him like he was stupid and said, “The back tires are going around just fine. It’s the front ones that won’t move!”

The second joke was sent in by a woman who said she usually took her young son to the library and helped him pick out books, but one week she was busy, so she dropped him off and said he could pick some books while she shopped. When she picked him up, he was very quiet and didn’t mention the books, and never mentioned them all evening. She thought that was odd, as he was normally excited about getting new library books. At bedtime, she asked him if he’d like to show her the books he’d picked. He reluctantly took them out of his school bag and showed them to her. She took one look and said, “But all of these books are in French!” He said, “Wow! Really? I thought I forgot how to read!”
