Joke of the day for August 28

Dad is from the old school, where you keep your money under the mattress — only he kept his in the underwear drawer. One day I bought my dad an unusual personal safe — a can of spray paint with a false bottom so he could keep his money in the workshop. Later I asked Mom if he was using it.

“Oh, yes,” she replied, “he put his money in it the same day.”

“No burglar would think to look on the work shelf!” I gloated.
