Man, 102, invited to play afternoon

A 102-year-old man in Belgium was invited to a play afternoon at a nursery school.

Jules Verdonck's family were surprised to get the invitation from the school at De Zevensprong in Nijlen.

The prep school had invited all local two-year-olds to a party to get to know each other, reports the Antwerp Gazette.

In Belgium, children can go to a prep school from the age of two and a half.

"We got all the addresses of the two year olds from the village administration," said headmaster Els Michiels.

"But apparently something has gone wrong. Someone sent us a message and told us Jules Verdonck couldn't attend the party because of his age.

"They enclosed his picture and that made us realise that Jules wasn't just two but 102 years old."

A woman awoke excitedly on Valentine's Day and announced enthusiastically to her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine's day! What do you think it means?" With certainty in his voice, the man said, "You'll know tonight." That evening the man came home with a small package and handed it to his wife. With anxious anticipation the woman quickly opened the package to find a book entitled - "The Meaning of Dreams".

Two lawyers had been stranded on a desert island for several months. The only other thing on the island was a tall coconut tree, which provided them their food.

Each day one of the lawyers would climb to the top of the tree to see if he could see a rescue boat coming.

One day, the lawyer yelled down from the tree, "WOW, I can't believe my eyes. There is a girl out there floating in our direction."

The lawyer on the ground was most sceptical and said. "I think you're hallucinating and you've finally lost your mind."

But within a few minutes, up to the beach floated a naked blond woman, face up and totally unconscious.

The two lawyers went over to her, dragged her up on the beach, and discovered, yes, she was alive.

One said the other, "You know, we've been on this island for months now without a woman. It's been such a long time. Do you think we should, ......you know, ... screw her?"

The second lawyer, asked, "Out of What?"
