A young husband with an inferiority complex insisted he was just a little pebble on a vast beach.
The marriage counselor, trying to be creative, told him, If you wish to save your marriage, youd better be a little boulder.

Dearest Koos
Im writing this slow because I know you cant read fast.
We dont live where we did when you left home. Your pa read in the newspaper that almost all accidents happen within 20 km of your home, so we moved. I wont be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldnt have to change their address.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. Im not sure it works so well, though. Last week I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain. We havent seen them since.
The weather isnt bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days.
About that coat you wanted me to send; your oom Frikkie said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in their pockets.
Pietie locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.
Your sister had a baby this morning, but I havent found out what it is yet so I dont know if you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks just like your brother.
Oom Wessels fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a bakkie. Janneman was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldnt get the tailgate down.
There isnt much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened.
Your Favorite Aunt, Betsie
P.S. I was going to enclose R25 but I already sealed the envelope…
Thou shalt not act half starved whenever thou watches me eat. Thou shalt not lift thy leg to water the Christmas tree. Thou shalt not roll in any smelley stuff thy finds in the yard. Thou shalt not lie down next to me and commence making licking and popping noises. Thou shalt not dig up my favorite rose bush. Thou shalt not treat my shoes as if they were thy chew toy. Thou shalt not drink out of the toilet. Thou shalt keep thy nose out of the cats litter box. Thou shalt not WATCH the cat while she is in her litterbox. (she likes her privacy) Thou shalt not pass gas in my presence, and then walk away as if thou has been offended by me. Thou shalt not run away from home in pursuit of a good time (thou has been neutered) Thou shalt refrain from coughing and gagging while we have company. Thou shall not hide thy bones under my pillow. Thou shalt not harmonize with the cat at 2a.m. Thou shalt not sneak up on me and lick me in the mouth while I am sleeping.
Rabinowitz is coming back to Israel. The customs officer asks him what he has in his heavy suitcase and Rabinowitz responds: Bird-feed for my parrot. The officer is still suspicious and opens it. Its all coffee! Didnt you say it was bird-feed for my parrot? asks the officer. Rabinowitz responds: If she doesnt eat it, thats her problem.

If Apple ran Christmas…
It would do everything the Microsoft ornaments do, but years earlier, and with a smaller mouse (not stirring of course).
IBM: Intolerant of Beards and Mustaches
Q: How many keyboardists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Only one, but if you wait until next month, Yamaha will have a new model bulb out which is much better.
