WEEKLY LAUGH
Dad went to Popeye's to get the kids something to eat. His daughter wanted the kid's meal with a leg so he said, "Kid's meal with the leg," and the lady said, "Which side?"
Dad thought for a moment and said, "I guess the right side, hell, I don't know what the difference is."
After several moments of laughter she said, "No honey which side would you like to go with the leg? Mashed Potatoes or Fries?"
