A group of 5 college freshmen were going away on vacation by train when they ran into a group of 5 seniors taking the same train.
The freshmen purchased 5 tickets while the seniors only purchased 1 ticket for the entire group. Puzzled, the freshmen asked why and one of the seniors said, “You’ll see.”
When the conductor started the t to collect tickets, all 5 of the seniors ran into a single toilet cubicle and locked the door. The train attendant knocked on the door & said, Ticket, please.” One of the seniors extended his hand under the toilet door and presented the ticket.
The conductor punched the ticket, slid it back under the door and left.
On the way home, the freshmen decide to do the same thing. Only one freshman bought a ticket. But this time the seniors bought no ticket at all. When asked why, they told the freshmen, “You’ll see.”
On the train home, all freshmen rushed to squeeze into the toilet cubicle. After a few minutes, one of the seniors knocked on the door and said, “Ticket, please.”

After 25 years away, a man comes back to his hometown in Ireland for the holidays.
He decided to explore his old neighborhood, and when he reached the building where he used to live, he noticed the shoemaker's shop across the street has not changed a bit.
He remembered how he used to pass this shop everyday. And then he remembered before he left, he dropped a pair of white loafers at the shop to be repaired, so he went in, thinking maybe the shop owner still has them and remembers him.
Indeed, the same guy, with a few more wrinkles and white hair, welcomed him. The visitor said,
"You won't believe this but I was your client 25 years ago. If I recall correctly, I left a pair of shoes before I left the country. You wouldn't still have them by any chance?"

An Australian rugby fan, a South African rugby fan and a New Zealand rugby fan were in Saudi Arabia sharing a smuggled crate of booze when a squad of Saudi police rushed in and arrested them.
The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for consuming the booze they’re all sentenced to death. However, after many months and with the help of good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentences down to life imprisonment.
By a stroke of luck, the day their trial finished was a Saudi national holiday and the benevolent sheikh decided they could be released after receiving 20 lashes each.

A frog walked into the bank and asked for a $3000 dollar loan for a vacation.

The teller introduced herself “I'm Patricia Whack, and I’m afraid you’re going to need some collateral for that loan.”
The frog said “Hi. I’m Kermit Jagger. My dad is Mick Jagger and he knows the bank manager – it’s all good.” For collateral he produced a small pink porcelain elephant, two inches tall and perfectly formed.
Patty told Kermit to wait a few minutes, took the elephant and went in to see the bank manager.

A man and his wife were on a driving holiday and looking for a hotel for the night.
When they found one the manager said "Yes, we have a room and it’s $100 for the night.”
That was a well outside their budget, so they politely turned the offer down and asked if there was anywhere cheaper in the vicinity.
The manager replied "Yes, in fact there is an old hotel just up the road and it's only $25 a night but, I'll warn you now, there have been many reports of the place being haunted.”

The couple thought nothing of it and made their way to the cheaper hotel.

glow you stars

surely there must be some rogues

defying sequestration
in the bravery

bravery
so twinkle
