QUICKIES
Terrible Tommy started his antics at a very young age. In the hospital nursery there were two babies in cribs next to each other. One looked over to the Tommy and said, “Hi, I’m a little girl baby.” Tommy said, “Hi, I’m a little boy baby.” The little girl baby said, “Can you prove it?” Tommy looked around to make sure that all the nurses had left. He slowly lifted his little night gown up and said, “See, blue booties.”
y ? Terrible Tommy is standing quietly for a long while. He is watching a priest repairing the church fence. The priest asks him, “Do you want to speak with me, my son?” “No, I’m just waiting.” replies Tommy. “Waiting for what?” asks the priest. Tommy answers, “I want to know what a priest says when he hits his finger with a hammer.”
y ? Tommy says to his girlfriend Sally, “Wanna play army? I’ll lay down and you can blow the heck out of me.”

Terrible Tommy and his dad entered their vacation cabin and kept the lights off until they were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed them in. Tommy noticed them before his dad and said, “It’s no use dad. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.”
y ? Yucky Chucky was playing with his little brother Terrible Tommy when Tommy asked whether he could fly like Superman. “Sure you can,” Chucky said, “Just flap your arms really, really hard.” So Tommy climbed up on the windowsill, started flapping like mad, jumped, then smashed into the ground two stories below. Their mother came screaming into the room and said, “What the heck just happened?” Chucky said, “I was just teaching Tommy not to believe everything someone tells him.”
y ? Terrible Tommy called his grandfather to wish him Happy Birthday. He asked his granddad how old he was, and he told him, “Sixty-two.” Tommy was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did you start at one?”

Terrible Tommy goes into his parents’ bedroom, catches them in the act, and promptly runs away. His dad eventually goes to look for him and hears some familiar noises. Opening the door he sees his son on top of his grandmother, doing the business. “What the heck are you doing?” he shouts. Tommy looks over his shoulder and says, “Oh yeh, a bit different when it’s your mom, isn’t it?
y ? Terrible Tommy was taken to the dentist. It was discovered that he had a cavity that would have to be filled. “Now, young man,” asked the dentist, “What kind of filling would you like for that tooth?” “Chocolate, please,” replied Tommy.
y ? Terrible Tommy and his friend Jimmy Koch were engaging in a verbal battle like little boys all over the world. Jimmy starts, “My Father is better than your Father.” Tommy, “No, he’s not.” Jimmy, “My brother is better than you brother.” Tommy, “He is not. He is not.” Jimmy, “My Mother is better than your Mother.” A long pause ensued and finally Tommy says, “I guess you got me there. I’ve heard my dad say the same thing.”

y ? The game warden spied Terrible Tommy carrying a wild turkey. He stopped him and asked, “Where did you get that turkey?” Tommy replied, “What turkey?” The game warden said, “The turkey under your arm.” Tommy looked down and said, “Well, lookee here, a turkey done snuck up right under my arm.” The game warden said, “Now look, son, you know turkey season is over, so whatever you do to that turkey, I am going to do to you. So, exactly what are you going to do with that bird?” Terrible Tommy said, “I’m going to kiss his butt and let him go.”

y ? It was during supper that Terrible Tommy said, “Are caterpillars good to eat?” “I have told you before Tommy, don’t talk about such things at the dinner table,” said his father. The question though, drew the mother’s curiosity, “Why did you ask the question, son?” Tommy said, “Because I saw one on dad’s lettuce and now it’s gone.”
y ? Terrible Tommy swaggered into the lounge and demanded of the barmaid, “Give me a double scotch on the rocks.” “What do you want to do, get me in trouble?” the barmaid asked. “Maybe later,” Tommy said, “Right now, I just want the scotch.”
y ? Tommy was looking through the family photo album. “Mom, who is the guy with all the muscles and curly hair on the beach with you?” “That’s your father.” “Then who is the old, bald-headed, fat guy living with us now?”

“Dad,” said Yucky Chucky, “We had a spelling contest in school today, and I missed on the very first word.” “That’s too bad Chucky,” consoled his father, “What was the word?” “Posse.” “No wonder you couldn’t spell it dummy. You can’t even pronounce it correctly.”
y ? A farmer in the country has a watermelon patch and upon inspection he discovers that Terrible Tommy had been helping himself to a feast. The farmer thinks of ways to discourage this profit eating situation. He decides to put up a sign that reads, “WARNING: ONE OF THESE WATERMELONS CONTAINS CYANIDE.” The farmer returns a week later to discover that none of the watermelons have been eaten, but finds another handwritten sign that reads, “NOW THERE ARE TWO.”
y ? A woman answered her front door and found Terrible Tommy standing there holding a long list. “Excuse me,” he explained, “I am on a scavenger hunt. I still need three grains of wheat, a pork-chop bone, and a piece of used carbon paper, to earn a dollar.” “Wow,” the woman replied. “Who sent you on such a challenging hunt?” Tommy answered, “My babysitter’s boyfriend.” 11

y ? A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons. The boys began to argue over which one would get the first pancake. Their wise mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. “If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, ‘Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait’.” Yucky Chucky turned to his younger brother and said, “Tommy, you be Jesus.”
y ? Terrible Tommy was mother’s helper. He helped set the table when company was due for dinner. Presently everything was on, the guest came in, and everyone sat down. Then his mother noticed something was missing. “Tommy,” she said, “You didn’t put a knife and fork in front of Mr. Smith’s place.” “I thought he wouldn’t need them, because daddy says he always eats like a horse.”
y ? Yucky Chucky was the quietest boy in school. He never answered any questions but his homework was always quite excellent. If any one said anything to him he would simply nod, or shake his head. The staff thought he was shy and decided to do something to give him confidence. “Chucky,” said his teacher. “I just bet Miss Smith five dollars that I can get you to say three words.” Chucky looked at her sadly and said, “You lose.”

Terrible Tommy is sitting by himself in the local park. Along comes Patty chewing on a piece of gum. “Hey Tommy, wanna play doctor?” Tommy lets out a puff of smoke, “Nah, that’s too old fashioned.” Tommy takes another drag and says, “Spit out your gum, I wanna play President.”
y ? A young new psychotherapist was having such success in his business that he could now afford to have a proper sign advertising his wares, so he asked Terrible Tommy to paint the sign board for him and put it above his shop entrance. His business began to slow. He especially noticed the ladies shying away from his office after reading the sign board, so he decided to check out the looks of his new sign. Tommy could only find a small wooden board so he had to split the word in three places. The sign read, Psychotherapist.
y ? Terrible Tommy wanted to have his eyes tested, so he went to an optician. The optician said, “Sit down please. Can you see the smallest words on the board? Tommy replied, “Yeah, the smallest words on the board are, ‘Made in USA’.”

y ? Tommy questioned his grandmother with an appearance of great seriousness, “Ain’t Rotterdam the name of a city, Gramma?” “Don’t say ‘ain’t’, Tommy,” the old lady corrected. “Yes, Rotterdam is the name of a city. Why?” “It ain’t swearin’ to say it, is it Gramma?” “Don’t say ‘ain’t’, Tommy. No, it isn’t swearing to say Rotterdam. Why?” He answers, “Cause if Marcia keeps on eating so much candy, she’ll Rotterdam head off.”

GOURMET GROCERY
A customer at Shubnell’s Gourmet Grocery marveled at the proprietor’s quick wit and intelligence. “Tell me Chucky, what makes you so smart?” “I wouldn’t share my secret with just anyone,” Chucky replies, lowering his voice so the other shoppers won’t hear, “Since you’re a good and faithful customer, I’ll let you in on my secret, fish heads. You eat enough of them, you will be positively brilliant.” “Do you sell them here?” the customer asks. “Only four bucks apiece,” says Yucky Chucky. The customer buys three. A week later, he’s back in the store complaining that the fish heads were disgusting and he isn’t any smarter. “You didn’t eat enough,” says Chucky. The customer goes home with twenty more fish heads. Two weeks later, he is back and this time he is really angry. “Hey Chucky,” he says, “You are selling me fish heads for four dollars apiece when I just found out I can buy the whole fish for two dollars. You’re ripping me off.” Chucky says, “See, you are smarter already.”

LIGHTNING FLASHES
Terrible Tommy walked daily to and from school. Though the weather one morning was unsettled and clouds were forming, he took his normal stroll to his primary school many blocks away. As the day passed, the weather became more inclement, the wind whistled stronger and there was some loud thunder and fierce lightning. Tommy’s mother was concerned that her son would be frightened as he walked home from school. She was afraid of an electrical storm and thought that it might harm her child. All of a sudden, there was a massive clap of thunder and lightning flashed in the sky like a fireball from heaven. Tommy’s mother was terrified. She jumped into her car and drove along the route to her child’s school. Soon she saw Tommy walking along, but at each flash of lightning, he would stop, look up, and smile. One followed another, each with him stopping, looking at the streak of light, and smiling. Finally, his mother called him over to the car and asked, “Tommy darling, what are you doing?” Tommy answered brightly, “God keeps taking pictures of me.”

FAMILIES
Terrible Tommy was thinking about the bible stories and asked his mother, “Where did humans come from?” His mother answered, “Well dear, God made Adam and Eve and they had children and all mankind descended from them.” Then he asked her father the same question. His father answered, “Over millions of years, humans developed from apes.” The confused boy returned to his mother and told her what his dad said and asked, “Mom, why did you say we were created by God while dad said we descended from monkeys?” Mother answered, “That is simple Tommy, I was talking about my family’s origins, and your father was talking about his.”

SUMMER VACATION
It was the last day of the school year, and Miss Suzie was talking to her fourth grade class. She asked “What will you be doing this summer?” “I and my family will go to the beach a lot,” Paula Van De Putte answered. “That sounds like fun,” said Miss Suzie. “How about you, Sharon? What will you do this summer?” “My family just bought new bikes and we will ride together.” Sharon Koehnel replied enthusiastically. “That sounds lovely,” said the teacher. She continued with all her students until she got to Terrible Tommy in the back of the room. “What will you do this summer, Tommy?” “Nothing,” he responded timidly. “Nothing? Aren’t you going to do anything with your family?” she asked, trying to get him to use his imagination. “Nothing.” He replied - “Will you go to the beach?” “No.” - “Will you ride bikes?” “No, never.” Tommy burst out. “We can never ride bikes together.” “Why not?” said the shocked Miss Suzie. “I don’t know,” explained Tommy, “But dad always says, when mom and sis start ‘cycling together’, it’s time to get the heck out of town.”

FISH
Terrible Tommy’s father hosted a dinner party for people from work, including his boss. All during the sit-down dinner, Tommy stared at his father’s boss sitting across from him. He could hardly eat his food, because he was staring so much. The man checked his tie, felt his face for food, patted his hair in place, but nothing stopped Tommy from staring at him. He tried his best to just ignore him, but finally it was too much. He asked Tommy, “Why are you staring at me?” Everyone at the table had noticed Tommy’s behavior and the table went quiet for the response. Tommy said, “My dad said you drink like a fish and I don’t want to miss it when you do.”

LAWNMOWER
A preacher was making his rounds on a bicycle, when he came upon Terrible Tommy trying to sell a lawn mower. “How much do you want for the mower?” asked the preacher. “I just want to make enough money to go out and buy a bicycle,” said Tommy. After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked, “Will you take my bike in trade for it?” Tommy asked if he could try it out first and, after riding the bike around a little while, said, “Preacher, you have a deal.” The preacher took the mower and began to crank it. He pulled on the rope a few times with no response from the mower. He called Tommy over and said, “I can’t get this mower to start.” Tommy said, “I have watched my dad and he always cusses to get it started. Why not try to cuss at it and see if it will start.” The preacher said, “I can’t cuss. It has been so long since I became a preacher that I don’t even remember how to cuss.” Tommy looked at him, smiled, and said, “You just keep pulling on that rope. It will come back to you.”

REFRIGERATOR ART
Terrible Tommy was practicing spelling with magnetic letters on the refrigerator: cat, dog, dad, and mom had been proudly displayed for all to see. One morning while getting ready for the day, he bounded into the room with his arms outstretched. In his hands were three magnetic letters: G-O-D. “Look what I spelled, mom,” with a proud smile on his face. “That’s wonderful.” his mom praised him. “Now go put them on the fridge so your father can see when he gets home tonight.” Tommy’s mom happily thought that her son’s Catholic education was certainly having an impact. Just then, a little voice called from the kitchen, “Mom?” How do you spell, “Zilla?”

GRANDMA AND THE TV
Terrible Tommy went to visit his grandmother one day. He was playing with his toys in her bedroom while she was dusting. He looked up and said, “Grandma, why don’t you have a boyfriend now that grandpa has gone to heaven?” Grandma replied, “Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch it all day long. The religious programs make me feel good and the comedies make me laugh. I am happy with my TV as my boyfriend.” Grandma turned on the TV, and the reception was terrible. She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus. She became frustrated and started to hit the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem. Tommy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door, and there stood grandma’s minister. The minister said, “Hello young man, is your grandma home?” Tommy replied, “Yeh, she’s in the bedroom banging her boyfriend.” The minister fainted.

MERMAID
Terrible Tommy lived on a farm with his farmer father and mother and two brothers. They had one cow, on which the family depended for its livelihood. One morning, his dad awakens and goes outside to milk the cow. Upon going into the barn, he sees that the cow is dead. The farmer panics and hoping that his life insurance will support his family; he gets his gun and shoots himself. Tommy’s mother hears the shot and wakes up. She goes outside and finds both their precious cow and her beloved husband dead. In a fit of grief, she decides she can’t go on and hangs herself. Tommy’s older brother, Yucky Chucky, finally wakes up and goes outside to investigate the noises that he had heard. He finds both his parents and the cow, dead. He is overwhelmed by this loss. He can’t go on, so he runs down to the river to drown himself. In the river is a beautiful mermaid. She says to him, “I am the Magical Mermaid of the river. I have seen all that has happened, and I will bring your family back to life if you can have sex with me at least 5 times.” He is unable to resist such an offer and accepts. However, Yucky Chucky is only able to perform with the mermaid 4 times, so the mermaid lets him drown in the river. Soon, Johnny wakes up and goes outside, sees his parents and the cow dead, and runs down to the river to drown himself. The mermaid is still there, and says, “I am the Magical Mermaid of the river.” 26

She continues, “I have seen all that has happened, and I will bring your family back to life if you can have sex with me at least 10 times.” Johnny accepts her offer, but after only 8 times, he is completely worn out, so the mermaid lets him drown in the river. Finally, Terrible Tommy wakes up and discovers his dead parents and the cow. He looks around and can’t find his brothers either, so he runs down to the river to drown himself. The mermaid is still there at the river and says, “I am the Magical Mermaid of the river. I have seen all that has happened, and I will bring your family back to life if you can have sex with me 15 times.” Tommy looks at her and says, “Only 15 times? Why not 20, or 25 times? Heck, why not have sex 30 times?” Hearing this, the mermaid is shocked and skeptical, but replies, “OK. If you can have sex with me 30 times, I will bring your entire family and the cow back to life and all will be in perfect health.” They are just about to go at it, when Tommy stops and says, “Wait a minute. How do I know 30 times won’t kill you like it killed the cow?”

TOMMY AND DADDY
Terrible Tommy sees his daddy’s car pass the playground and continue right into the woods. He follows the car and sees daddy and Aunt Mary in a passionate embrace. Tommy finds this so exciting and can scarcely contain himself as he runs home and starts to tell his mother. Mommy, “I was at the playground and I saw daddy’s car go into the woods, and he had Aunt Mary with him in the car. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Mary a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt, then Aunt Mary helped daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Mary laid down on the seat, then daddy began. . .” At this point, his mother stopped him and said, “Tommy, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on daddy’s face when you tell the whole story tonight.” At the dinner table, his mother asks Tommy to tell his story. Tommy starts his story, describing the car driving past the playground and into the woods, the undressing, laying down on the seat. Tommy said, “Then daddy and Aunt Mary started doing that same thing mommy and Uncle George do when daddy goes to work.”

RABBITS
The teacher was teaching his math class one day and he said, “If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits do you have?” Terrible Tommy raised his hand and said, “Seven.” The teacher asked Tommy to listen carefully again, “If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits, and another two rabbits, how many rabbits do you have?” Tommy replied, “Seven.” The teacher said, “Let’s try another way. If I give you two apples and two apples and another two apples, how many apples do you have?” Tommy replied, “Six.” The teacher is finally making progress and he says, “That is good. Now if I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits will you have? Tommy replied, “Seven.” Now the teacher is frustrated. He asked Tommy, “How on earth do you work out that three lots of two rabbits are seven?” Tommy said, “I already have one rabbit at home.”

MEMORIAL PLAQUE
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed Terrible Tommy was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the vestibule of the church. It was covered with names and small American flags were mounted on the sides of it. He had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside him, and said quietly, “Good morning, Tommy.” “Good morning,” replied Tommy, still focused on the plaque. “What is this?” Tommy asked. “Well son, it’s a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.” They stood together for a while, just staring at the large plaque. Tommy’s voice began to tremble and was barely audible when he asked, “Which service, the nine or the noon?”
