WEBSIDE HUMOUR
Keeping account
A wholesale
dealer, who had a lot of trouble in getting a certain retailer
to pay his bills, finally lost patience and wrote the merchant a
threatening letter.
He received the
following reply: "Dear Sir: What do you mean by writing me
a letter like that? Every month I place all my bills in a hat
and then figure out how much money I have to pay on my accounts.
Then I have my
bookkeeper draw as many bills out of the hat as I have money to
pay. If you don’t like my way of doing business, I won’t
even put your bills in the hat."
Sales talk
We got lucky
when we heard that the old Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta was getting
a face-lift and its beautiful maple doors became available for
sale as salvage items. We bought several and had them installed
in our 19th-century home.
Showing a
friend around the house, I pointed out the doors saying,
"You know, these doors are from the Piedmont Hotel."
He raised an
eyebrow. "Most people just take the towels."
Long drive
A couple of
rednecks went on vacation in Colorado. They flew to Denver and
rented a car to sight see. One of the sights was a bridge that
was more than 1,000 feet above the river. Walking out onto the
bridge, they noticed it swaying in the wind. "I donthink I
want to drive the car across this bridge," one said to the
other.
"What are
you worried about?" the second replied. "It’s a
rental."
