Medical advance

Worried patient: "Doctor, I’m very worried. I’m still suffering from exhaustion and fatigue when I come home from work every evening."

Doctor: "Oh, that’s nothing to worry about. Just have a few drinks before your dinner — that will soon wake you up."

Patient: "Thanks very much, doctor. But when I consulted you before, you told me to cut out drinking alcohol completely."

Doctor: "Yes, so I did. But that was last week, old chap — and medical science has progressed enormously since then."

Hard sell

A life insurance salesman was trying hard to sell a policy to a nonchalant customer. After having exhausted all his salesmanship tricks, he relented finally and said: "Don’t let me pressure you," the life insurance salesman said. "Sleep on it tonight. If you wake up in the morning, you can give me a call."

Food facts

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure.

In Africa they didn’t know what ‘food’ meant.

In India they didn’t know what ‘honest’ meant.

In Europe they didn’t know what ‘shortage’ meant.

In China they didn’t know what ‘opinion’ meant.

In the Middle East they didn’t know what ‘solution’ meant.

In South America they didn’t know what ‘please’ meant.

And in the USA they didn’t know what ‘the rest of the world’ meant.

Too old

Minutes before the cremation, the undertaker quietly sat down next to the grieving widow. "How old was your husband?" he asked. "He was 98," she answered softly. "Two years older than I am."

"Really?" the undertaker said. "Hardly worth going home, wouldn’t you say?"
