Four monks are meditating in a monastery when, all of a sudden, the prayer flag on the roof starts flapping.
The youngest monk comes out of his
meditation and says, "Flag is flapping."
The second, more experienced monk says, "Wind is flapping."
The third monk, who has been there for more than twenty years, says, "Mind is flapping."
The fourth monk, who is the eldest and most experienced, says, "Mouths are flapping!"

A boy was feeling very nervous about his first date, and so went to his father for advice.
"My son, there are three subjects that always work with women: food, family, and
philosophy."
The boy picks up his date and they stare at each other for a long time. The boy's nervousness builds, but he then remembers his father's advice and asks the girl,
"Do you like potato pancakes?"
"No," comes the answer, and the silence returns like a suffocating blanket.
"Do you have a brother?"
"No."
After giving it some thought, the boy plays his last card: "If you had a brother, would he like potato pancakes?"
