A: I get a kick out of you!

Too many ‘give-ups’

A young man proposes marriage to his sweetheart.

The girl replies, "If I marry you, will you promise to give up smoking?"

"Yes, I will", came the reply.

"And drinking?"

"I will give up drinking as well."

"And going to the club with your cronies?"

"Yes, I will."

"And what else will you give up for my sake?", she asked finally.

"I have already given up the idea of marrying you."

Hankuk Kyungje

Unused Textbook

Students offering used textbooks posted their notices on the campus board of a college.
