Lance M Hillier Sr
I got home from the pub one night and my then wife said, "I can't believe how intoxicated you are."
Denying it I said, "I'm not, not, (hic) drunk." She said, "Yes you are."
I said, "No I'm not."
She said, "Can you tell the time?"
So I walked up to the clock and said, "I'm not so, sho, drunk, shee?"

I tried that thing today at the gas station where you try and stop the pump bang on what you want to pay, but let it go a fraction too late and it stopped on $20.03.
"Rats!" I shouted and walked into the shop to pay.
"Unlucky, pal," smiled the attendant, who'd seen what I'd done. "Don't worry about the extra."
"Thanks, pal," I said as I handed him my ten bucks and split.
