Carnation  Milk 65 Years Ago ...This is   PRICELESS        
 
A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and   around her family dairy farms since she was old enough to  walk, with hours of hard work and little  compensation.

When canned Carnation Milk became available in  grocery stores in approximately the 1940s, she read an  advertisement offering $5,000 for the best  slogan. The  producers wanted a rhyme beginning With 'Carnation Milk is  best of all.'

She thought to herself, I   know all about milk and dairy farms. I can do this! She sent  in her entry, and several weeks later, a black limo pulled up in  front of her house.

A man got out and said, 'Carnation' LOVED your  entry so much! We are here to award you $2,000 even though we will  not be able to use it!'

Riddle No2



One day Charlie was found under a cliff dead. The police called Charlie's brother Sean who had witnessed the whole thing. This is what Sean said to the police: "I was taking a walk along the cliff, to find Charlie and his girlfriend fighting. I didn't want to interrupt so I stood behind a tree. Charlie was wearing a big leather jacket and had on gloves and jeans. He was also wearing black boots. That's when I saw Charlie pick up a rock, threatening to hit his girlfriend with it. That's when I approached him to tell him to stop. I must have startled him because he started running right off the cliff". The police immediately investigated where Charlie was fighting with his girlfriend. The police found the rock charlie was about to throw at his girlfriend, with fingerprints on it. Without scanning the fingerprints, The police immediately arrested Sean. Why?
