The phone company interview
A phone company put an ad
in the paper in order to recruit workers. The next day, two groups of
workers show up - a crew of five men and a crew of five blonde women.
The company cannot decide who to give the job to, so they give the two
groups a test. The company boss says, "Each crew will receive a
telephone pole that must be installed into the ground. Whoever is able
to hammer it in first will get the job." Both groups agree that
this is a fair test, so off they go in the company trucks with the long
telephone poles sticking out the back. A few hours pass, and finally, at
5:00, the male crew returns. "Yes!" they shout. "We came
back first, so we get the job!!" "Good work, men," says
the boss, "However, we must wait until the other crew comes back to
make sure that the reason they're delayed is not because of traffic or
the truck breaking down." "Fine, no problem," say the
men. An hour passes, two hours pass, three hours.
Finally, at 8:30, the
blonde crew arrives. All the group is flushed and breathing hard.
"What happened to you? What took so long?" asks the boss
incredulously. "What do you mean, 'what took so long'? Do we get
the job?"
"You get the job? No
way! The men were back here Hours ago!"
"Well, of course they
were," say the blondes. "They only put the pole in
halfway!!"

A boy, frustrated with all
the rules he had to follow, asked his father, "Dad, when will I be
old enough to do as I please?"
The father answered
immediately, "I don't know, son. Nobody has lived that long
yet."
