When a guy’s printer type began to grow faint, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told him he might be better off reading the printer’s manual and trying the job himself. Pleasantly surprised by his candour, he asked, "Does your boss know that you discourage business?" "Actually, it is my boss’s idea," the employee replied sheepishly. "We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first." Safe place Once there was a golfer whose drive landed on an anthill. Rather than move the ball, he decided to hit it where it lay. He gave a mighty swing. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants exploded from the spot. Everything but the golf ball. It sat in the same spot. So he lined up and tried another shot. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants went flying again. The golf ball didn’t even wiggle. Two ants survived. One dazed ant said to the other, "Whoa! What are we going to do?" Said the other ant: "I don’t know about you, but I’m going to get on the ball." Bookcase Judi stormed up to the front desk of the library and said, "I have a complaint." "Yes, ma’am?" "I borrowed a book last week and it was horrible!" "What was wrong with it?" "It had way too many characters and there was no plot whatsoever!" The librarian nodded and said, "Ahh! So you must be the person who took our phone book." Party time A woman who had thrown a dinner party, at which raw oysters, curried lamb, and steamed mussels were all served, met her physician on the street the following day. "I’m sorry you weren’t able to come to my party last night," she said. "You are so busy these days, and I think it would have done you some good to have been there." "Your party has done me good," he said. "I’ve just seen five of your dinner guests." Compiled by Sunil Sharma |
