Jack’s number

A caller dial the operator: Can you give me the telephone number for Jack? The operator says, "I am sorry, sir, I do not understand".

During class, the chemistry professor was demonstrating the properties of various acids. "Now I’m going to drop this pure silver coin into this glass of acid. Will it dissolve?"

"Because if it would, you wouldn’t have dropped it in!"

An employee walks into the accounts office and says, "What is the meaning of this. I have been paid $200 less than what was decided upon."

The employee snaps back, "Yeah, I can bear with occasional mistakes but when you make it a habit I think I need to report."

The counsellor was giving advice: To gain self-confidence, you must avoid using negative words, such as "can’t" and "not". Do you think you can do that?"

The young man responded: "Well, I can’t see why not".
