Ben Sacco's Joke of the Month

Getting a new deputy

The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer - who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the tool-box - decided to try out for the job.
‘Okay, Gomer,’ the sheriff drawled, ‘what is 1 and 1?’
‘11, ’ Gomer replied.
The sheriff thought to himself: ‘That’s not what I meant, but he’s not wrong.’
‘What two days of the week start with the letter T?’ was the next question.
‘Today and tomorrow,’ came back the reply. The sheriff was again surprised that Gomer had supplied an answer that he had never thought of himself.
The sheriff then said: ‘Now Gomer, listen carefully. Who killed Abraham Lincoln?’
Gomer looked a little surprised, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted: ‘I don’t know.’
’Well, why don’t you go home and work on that one for a while?’ the sheriff suggested.
So Gomer hurried over to the pool hall where his pals were waiting to hear the results of his interview. Exultant, Gomer told them: ‘It went great! First day on the job and I’m already working on a murder case!’
