La Bucuresti o doamna primeste prin posta o cutie de banane in care se afla osemintele tatalui ei.
Femeia il avea inmormantat pe taica-sau la tara si a vrut sa vanda locul de mormant de acolo. A aranjat cu preotul din sat, care a vandut locul si nu a mai asteptat-o pe femeie sa vina sa il deshumeze pe tata - l-a deshumat el, l-a bagat intr-un amabalaj de banane (oase, pantofi, un pic de pamant, bucati de lemn din sicriu, etc) - si l-a expediat prin posta la Bucuresti.

La Los Angeles un copil de o luna este bagat pe aeroport printre bagaje, la controlul cu raze X.
Mama declara ca bunica a facut greseala - mama i-a dat pruncul bunicii sa il tina pana isi pune ea bagajele, ceasul, obiectele metalice si pantofii la control, bunica, mai grea de cap, sau depasita un pic de situatie, a pus si copilul printre bagaje, nu cumva sa il uite mama.
