- Peter Darbo Vlaams aforist 1944-

Mijn zoon is bij de pinken.

Hij zei me op een dag:

Een rups kan niet verdrinken,

die kent de vlinderslag.

A priest is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach.

After watching the boy’s efforts for some time, the priest moves closer to the boy’s position.

He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child’s shoulder, leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.

Crouching down to the child’s level, the priest smiles benevolently and asks, “And now what, my little man?”
To which the boy replies, “Now we run!”

An elderly couple were having dinner at another couple’s house and after their meal, the wives left the table to go to the kitchen.

The two elderly gents were talking, and one says: “Last night we went out to a fabulous new restaurant .I’d highly recommend.”

The other man says: “What’s the name of the restaurant?”

The first man thinks long and hard with a furrowed brow, finally saying: “Ah, what is the name of that red flower you give to someone you love?”

His friend replies: “A carnation?” “No, no. The other one,” the man says.

His friend suggest “The poppy?”

“No, no, no” growls the man.

“You know – the one that is red and has thorns.”

His friend says: “Do you mean a rose?”

“Yes! Thank you!” the first man says. He then turns toward the kitchen and yells: “Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”
