Remember, do not take life too seriously, cuz no body gets out alive!

The man should be >here soon." > >Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door >baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a >sale. > >"Good morning madam. I've come to..." > >"Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," >Mrs. Smith cut in. > >"Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good!

Please come >in and have a seat." > >After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we >start?" > >"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the >bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple >on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun >too; you can really spread out!" > >"Bathtub, living room floor?
