A Backyard Neighbor Funeral

Mr. Green peered over his fence and noticed that the neighbor’s little boy was in his backyard filling in a hole. Curious about what the youngster was up to, Mr. Green asked, “What in the world are you doing, Jimmy?”

Tearfully, little Jimmy replied, “My special little goldfish died, and I’ve just buried him. I had a funeral service for him and everything.”

“That’s an awfully large hole for a goldfish, isn’t it, Jimmy?” Mr. Green said.

Patting down the last bit of earth, little Joey replied, “Yes sir, that’s because my goldfish is in your cat!”
