The car is a good buy or it is a lemon. There were two prisoners in a jail cell. One looked out the window and saw mud. The other looked out the same window and saw the stars. A grandmother faithfully sent a gift to her grandchild but never received a note of thank you. Finally, the grandmother decided there was only ingratitude so she stopped...
