He thought the old lady was so kind – until he discovered her secret

    So I was sitting on the bus just reading a book when somebody tapped me on the shoulder.

     

    I turned around and saw an old lady.  She said to me, “Sonny, would you like some nuts? I’ve got a couple hazelnuts and almonds if you’d like.”

     

    “Sure.”, I replied.

     

    She gave me a handful of nuts and went back to sit with her friends.

     

    “What a nice lady”, I thought, while happily munching on the nuts.

     

    A few minutes later, I felt another tap on my shoulder and there she was again, offering some nuts. I gladly accepted and she went back to her seat.

     

    After about 10 minutes, she tapped me on the shoulder, once again offering some nuts.

     

    I asked her, “Why don’t you eat them yourself?”

     

    “Because we’ve got no teeth”, she replied.

     

    “Then why do you buy them?”, I asked.

     

    “Oh, we just love to suck the chocolate off of them.”
