Christmas Ideas

A  dentist noticed that his next patient, a little old woman, was nervous, so he decided to tell her  a little joke as he put on his  gloves.

'Do you know how they make these gloves?' he asked.

'No, I  don't,'  she replied.

'Well,' he spoofed, 'there's a building in  Canada with a big tank of latex, and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their  hands, let them  dry, Then peel off the gloves and throw them into  boxes of the right size.'

She didn't crack a  smile.

'Oh, well.. I tried,' he thought.

But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the procedure, she burst out laughing.

'What's so funny?' he asked.  

'I was just envisioning how condoms are made!'  

(Gotta  watch those little old women! Their minds are always working!) 

By paper artist Calvin Nicholls.

There is nothing simple or ordinary about his paper art.  Where we would simply use a piece of paper and a pair  of scissors, Calvin uses everything you could possibly think  of to carve, cut and rip perfect details onto his creations.  The motifs are all wildlife, and that must be one of the  hardest categories of things to make with paper since  there are sometimes impossible details on animals.  These details are amazing, and I can't even fathom  the time it must have taken to create these  masterpieces of art.
