The Least Empty Bag

My brother was about to pour a large quantity of packing peanuts into a garbage bag that already contained some peanuts and I said, "Is that the least empty bag you could find?"

"Nope," as he pulled out a fresh bag.

Then my wife looked at me funny and started to laugh.

"I knew what you meant," chimed my brother.

Too late. Energy was already wasted sending blood to my face.

Midnight Madness

Lately, my wife and I have been borrowing a truck while we move many of our belongings to a storage unit. Our garage is still full of stuff so we cannot park either of our cars in it and we normally park both of our cars in the driveway. However, for the safety of our friend’s truck, we park it in the driveway with my wife’s car, and I park my car on a nearby street.

I stopped for some food and supplies on my way home. To save some time bringing in those items I parked my car in front of my house. I reminded myself that I needed to move the car after taking the trash out to the street.
