Feel free to browse the collection of tall tales, yarns and downright lies. They are all family safe - the test I apply is "would I tell this to someone's grandmother?" If no, I don't use it. (That doesn't mean i don't appreciate a dirty joke, but I don't think they're appropriate for broadcast on the radio - you never know who is listening or how old they are or what their attitudes to dirty jokes amounts to. )
On a flight to Florida, I was preparing my notes for one of the parent-education seminars I conduct as an educational psychologist. Bessie, elderly woman sitting next to me explained that she was returning to Miami after having spent two weeks visiting her six children, 18 grandchildren and ten great- grandchildren in Boston. Then she inquired what I did for a living. I explained I was a doctor psychologist specializing in children.
I told her, fully expecting her to question me for free pro- fessional advice during the 3 hour flight Instead she sat back, picked up a magazine and Bessie said... "So doctor...If there's anything you want to know, just ask me."
