Fred and Mary got married but can't afford a honeymoon, so they go back
to Fred's Mom and Dad's for their first night together.
In the morning, Johnny, Fred's little brother, gets up and has his
breakfast. As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his
mom if Fred and Mary are up yet.
She replies, "No".
Johnny asks, "Do you know what I think?"
His mom replies, "I don't want to hear what you think! Just go to
school."
Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mom, "Are Fred and Mary up yet?"
She replies, "No."
Johnny says, "Do you know what I think?"
His mom replies, "Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch and go back to school
After school, Johnny comes home and asks again, "Are Fred and Mary up
yet?"
His mom says, "No."
He asks, "Do you know what I think?"
His mom replies, "Ok, now tell me what you think?"

Raiders Down Jets 43-32 in the Greatest Game You Never Saw
The game between the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders on November 17, 1968 featured two of the American Football League's marquee teams, and a combined 10 future Pro Football Hall of Famers.
But ironically, this "must see" meeting has been voted the 10th Most Memorable NFL Game of the Century because its conclusion was not seen -- at least by millions of television viewers.
To commemorate the end of the century, the National Football League invited fans to vote on nfl.com, the league's official website, for the 10 most memorable games of the century. Fan voting began on October 13 and ended on November 19. Nearly 35,000 votes were cast. Each Wednesday, the next "most memorable" game will be announced, culminating in the announcement of the Most Memorable NFL Game of the Century during Super Bowl XXXIV week on Wednesday, January 26.
With 65 seconds remaining in the 1968 Jets-Raiders game, the Jets kicked a field goal to take 32-29 lead. The Raiders returned the ensuing kickoff to their 23-yard line. NBC, the network televising the game, then went to commercial -- and never came back.
It was 7:00 PM on the east coast as the commercial break concluded. NBC was scheduled to air the children's movie Heidi at 7:00. Rather than show the end of the game, NBC Broadcast Operations Supervisor DICK CLINE followed the network's predetermined plan and switched to Heidi.
"(Prior to the game being played) it was determined that Heidi would air at 7:00," says Cline, now a director for CBS-TV. "If football wasn't over, we would still go to Heidi at 7:00. So I waited and I waited and I heard nothing. We came up to that magic hour and I thought, “Well, I haven't been given any counter-order so I've got to do what we agreed to do.’”
The first 59 minutes of the contest had lived up to its pre-game billing. It was a classic AFL shootout with eight lead changes and ties. Late in the game, fans saw New York quarterback JOE NAMATH masterfully lead the Jets deep into Raiders territory. With just over a minute to play, the Jets' JIM TURNER kicked his fourth field goal, a 26-yarder that gave New York its 32-29 lead.
Turner kicked off and the Raiders returned the ball to their own 23-yard line. Cut to commercial...on comes Heidi, and...
From his 23-yard line, Raiders quarterback DARYLE LAMONICA completed a 20-yard pass to halfback CHARLIE SMITH, who was facemasked by Jets safety MIKE D'AMATO. The penalty put the ball at the Jets' 43.
On the next play, Lamonica found Smith again, who outraced D'Amato down the sideline for a 43-yard touchdown. The extra point gave the Raiders a 36-32 lead with 42 seconds to play, and left Namath and the Jets with little time for a comeback.
Namath never got the chance. On the kickoff, Jets kick returner EARL CHRISTY fumbled the ball. It was picked up at the two-yard line by Raiders special teamer PRESTON RIDLEHUBER, who ran it in for a touchdown.
The Raiders had scored two touchdowns in a nine-second span and held on to win a most memorable game, 43-32.
There was an uproar when fans learned about the game's dramatic ending. NBC ran a "crawl" at the bottom of the screen during Heidi reporting the result more than 20 minutes after the game had ended.
NBC President JULIAN GOODMAN released a statement 90 minutes after the game. "It was a forgivable error committed by humans who were concerned about children expecting to see Heidi at 7:00 PM," said the statement. "I missed the end of the game as much as anyone else."
