Elder Brown’s Peanut Jar

Take one.

Elder Brown's False Teeth

Old man Brown and a young man worked in an office next to each other. The young man noticed that elder Brown always had a jar of peanuts on his desk. The young man loved peanuts.

One day while the old man was away from his desk, the young man couldn’t resist and ate over half the peanuts. When the old man returned, the young man felt guilty and confessed to eating the peanuts.

Elder Brown responded, “That’s ok. Since I lost my teeth, all I can do is lick the chocolate off the M&Ms.”
