WEBSIDE HUMOUR
Just unforgettable

ONCE upon a time a husband did something really stupid. His wife chewed him out for it. He apologised, they made up. However, from time to time, the wife would mention what he had done. "Honey, why do you keep bringing that up? I thought your policy was to forgive and forget", the husband finally said one day. "It is," she said. "I just don’t want you to forget that I’ve forgiven and forgotten."

A man and his wife were lying in bed the other night when he noticed she had bought a new book titled, What 20 Million American Women Want. He grabbed the book out of her hands and started thumbing through the pages. His wife was a little annoyed. "Hey, what do you think you’re doing?" He calmly replied, "I just wanted to see if they spelled my name right."

Solution spelt out

Students of a third-grade were completing a writing exercise. One of the students asked the teacher how to spell "piranha." The teacher told him she was unsure. To her delight, the student went to the dictionary to solve his problem. That’s when she overheard another pupil say to him, "Why bother to look it up? She doesn’t know how to spell it anyway."

A salesman attending a meeting on the coast was held up when`A0a severe storm and a flood washed out the local airport. He`A0wired his office: "Delayed by storm. Send instructions." His boss wired back: "We’ll answer your calls. Begin vacation immediately."

A local florist just went out of business, but it was his own fault. He kept getting his orders mixed up. One woman received flowers sent by her husband, who was at a business meeting in Florida. She was perplexed by the message on her card: "Our deepest sympathy." But she was not nearly as surprised as the woman whose husband had just passed away. Her card read, "Hotter here than I expected. Too bad you didn’t come too."
