| Did you hear why the Magician retired?
He became disillusioned.

| Then there was the magician who was walking down the street and turned into
a drug store.

| Come, on you guys! I'm groaning so much I can hardly type. (I can
hardly type when I'm not groaning, so it doesn't make much difference.
Did you hear about the butcher who backed into the meat grinder?
He got a little behind in his work.
Did you hear about the smartest cat in the world? Before hunting,
it would eat some cheese, go to the mouse hole, and exhale sharply.
Then it would wait with baited breath for the mice.
And you should know what happens when you don't pay your bill to
the exorcist:
You get re-possessed.

| Then there's the black college student who, when asked why he quit
his part-time job as night watchman at the sewage treatment plant, said,
"Waste is a terrible thing to mind."

| Re: .-1
Why do you insert a hint of racism into what is otherwise a funny
joke? The race of the watchman has absolutely no bearing on the
story.

| Re :.6 & .5
If you have knew the origin of the paraphrased slogan "A mind is a terrible
thing to waste.", you'd understand why it had to be a black college student.

^^^
If the cheese was the type
of cheddar sold as "sharp",
then this adverb is redundant.

To finish your thought, if I may: The United Negro College Fund
used the slogan "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
