Joke

Uncle Mike and Uncle Ed both sent me this as an email... thought it was so funny I had to add it here... enjoy! :)

Leroy


A woman walks into the downtown Tennessee welfare office, trailed by

15 kids... WOW," the social worker exclaims, "Are they ALL YOURS???"

"Yep they are all mine," the flustered momma sighs, having heard
that question a thousand times before.

She says, "Sit down Leroy." All the children rush to find seats.

"Well," says the social worker, "then you must be here to sign up.
I'll need all your children's names."

"This one's my oldest-he is Leroy."

"OK, and who's next?"

"Well, this one he is Leroy, also."

The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through
the
oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to the
eldest
girl, named Leighroy!

"All right...," says the caseworker, "I'm seeing a pattern here...Are
they ALL named Leroy?"

Their Momma replied, "Well, yes-it makes it easier. When it is time
to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, 'Leroy!'

An' when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an' they all
comes arunnin.' An 'if I need to stop the kid who's running into the
street, I just yell 'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest
idea I ever had, namin' them all Leroy."

The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her
forehead and says tentatively, "But what if you just want ONE kid to
come, and not the whole bunch?"

"I call them by their last names."
