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. )
My dad used to use his psychology on us. We would be outside playing; my father would come home from work and say things to my brother like, 'Brett, come here. I thought I told you to mow the lawn.'
Dad was no match for sharp-witted Brett though. 'Well sorry Dad, I forgot.'
Dad looked at him, 'Well, what if I forget to go to work tomorrow?'
He'd say, 'Well, in that case you could mow the lawn. Problem solved!'
