I forwarded the grammar quips Carol sent us to my colleagues as an
end-of-semester gift.  They loved them, and my friend, Andrew White,
associate professor of English, who usually keeps us all laughing,
contributed these items and gave me permission to share them with ATEG.

Two possessive apostrophe's walk into the bar as if they owned the place.

A subject and a verb have a disagreement in a bar, and one of them pull
out a pistol.

A heedless homonym walks into a bar.  You think he wood of scene it write
in front of him.
