Endings with Smiles

     I think everyone likes a joke that surprises him/her, like these.

     Two Martians landed on a corner in front of a traffic light. "I saw her first," one Martian says.
     "So what?" argues the other Martian. "I'm the one she winked at."  - Sandy Hartman in Globe

     Marvin, the nature lover, spied a grasshopper dining on a clump of grass and, in a mood for communing with nature, he spoke to the grasshopper. "Hello, friend grasshopper. Did you know they've named a drink after you?"
     "No kidding!" the grasshopper replies. "They've named a drink Fred?" - Anon.

     First farmer: "How'd Charlie Black lose the fingers on his right hand?"
     Neighbor: "Put 'em in a horse's mouth to see how many teeth it had."
     FF: "Well, what happened?"
     N: "The horse closed its mouth to see how many fingers Charlie had."  - Anon.

     A man went shopping for a used car at one of those enormous sales lots. A super-salesman there decided that the very car he needed was a 2000 model "in perfect condition, driven only a few thousand miles by an elderly woman"...an absolute steal at $1200.
     The customer took this prize out for a trial run and, after circling a few blocks, drove back into the lot. Another salesman dashed to his side. "Wanta sell that car?" he asked before the dazed customer could explain, and he proceeded to make a quick check of it, reporting, "Engine needs work, interior needs cleaning, body's not in very good shape -- give you $876 for it."
     The customer looked at the salesman, slapped the keys into the salesman's hand and said, "Aw, if that's all it's worth, I'll GIVE it to you!" And he walked away, feeling fine. - AP
