How was Rome split in two

Just to see what would happen, a father loaded his pessimist son’s room with every imaginable toy and game and his optimist son’s room with horse manure.
That night the father passed by the pessimist’s room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly.
“Why are you crying?” the father asked.
“Because my friends will be jealous, I’ll have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I’ll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken,” he answered.
Passing the optimist twin’s room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. “What are you so happy about?” he asked.
“There’s got to be a pony in here somewhere,” he answered.

One night a husband and wife were sleeping and suddenly the wife woke up.

A man entered a pet shop, wanting to buy a parrot. The shop owner pointed out three identical parrots on a perch and said, “The parrot to the left costs 500 dollars.”
“Why does that parrot cost so much?” the man wondered.

The owner replied, “Well, it knows how to use a computer.”
The man asked about the next parrot on the perch.
“That one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to use write computer code.”
Naturally, the startled customer asked about the third parrot.
“That one costs 2,000 dollars.”
“And what does that one do?” the man asked.
The owner replied, “To be honest, I’ve never seen him do a thing, but the other two call him boss!”

Deputy: “License and registration, please.”
Lawyer: What for?’
Deputy: “You didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign.’’
Lawyer: “I slowed down, and no one was coming.’’
Deputy: “You still didn’t come to a complete stop. License and registration, please.’’
Lawyer: “What’s the difference?”
Deputy: “The difference is you must come to a complete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please.’’
Lawyer: “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.’’
At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts uising it on the lawyer.
Deputy: “Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?’’
