| Two
young engineers applied for a single position at a computer company. They both had the same qualifications. In order to determine which individual to hire, the applicants were asked to take a test by the department manager. Upon completion of the test, both men had each missed only one of the questions. The manager went to the first applicant and said, ‘Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the job to the other applicant.’ ‘And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct.’ ‘We have based the decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed,’ said the department manager. ‘And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?’ the rejected applicant inquired. ‘Simple,’ said the department manager, ‘your fellow applicant put down on question #5, ‘I don’t know’. You put down, ‘Neither do I.’ _____________________ A man phones home from the office and tells his wife, ‘something
has just come up. I have the chance to go fishing for a week. It’s
an opportunity of a lifetime. We leave right away, so can you pack my
clothes, my fishing equipment, and especially my blue silk pyjamas? I’ll
be home in an hour to pick them up.’ He hurries home, grabs everything
and rushes off. A week later he returns. His wife asks, ‘did you
have a good trip?’ ‘Oh yes, great! But you forgot to pack
my blue silk pyjamas.’ ‘Oh no I didn’t. I put them in
your tackle box.’ A woman is in bed with her lover who happens to be her husbands best
friend. They make love for hours, and afterwards, while they’re
just laying there, the phone rings. Since it is the woman’s house,
she picks up the receiver. Her lover looks at her and listens, only hearing
her side of the conversation…(She is speaking in a cheery voice.)
‘Hello? Oh, hi. I’m so glad that you called. Really? That’s
wonderful. I am so happy for you. That sounds terrific. Great! Thanks.
Okay. Bye.’ She hangs up the telephone, and her lover asks, ‘Who
was that?’ ‘Oh,’ she replies, ‘that was my husband
telling me all about the wonderful time he’s having with you on
his fishing trip.’ Four guys are drinking in a bar, bragging about their sons. ‘My
son,’ the first one says, ‘started out washing cars at dealership,
but now owns the dealership and just gave one of his friends four new
cars of his choice!’ A man walked into a lawyers office and inquired about the rates. ‘Fifty
dollars for three questions,’ replied the lawyer. ‘Isn’t
that awfully steep?’ asked the man. ‘Yes,’ the lawyer
replied, ‘and what was your third question?’ A guy (we’ll call him Aaron) was laying down carpet in some woman’s
home. As he was finishing, he got a craving for a cigarette. Aaron looked
around and discovered that his cigarettes were missing. He did, however,
notice a bump in the carpet, and figured that he had laid carpet over
the pack without noticing it there. Aaron decided rather than to take
up the carpet, he would get a hammer and pound it into the ground so no
one would know. When he finished that, the owner of the house walked into
the room and commented on what a nice job he had done. ‘Aaron, The
carpet looks wonderful!’ she exclaimed. ‘Here are your cigarettes;
I found them in the kitchen. Oh yes, and by the way, have you seen my
guinea pig?’ His buddy said, “I have an idea. Why don’t you make up a certificate that says she can have two hours of great sex, any way she wants it. She’ll probably be thrilled!” So the first fella did just that. The next day his buddy asked, “Well, did you take my suggestion? How’d it turn out?” “She loved it. She jumped up, thanked me, kissed me on the mouth,
and ran out the door yelling - - I’ll see you in two hours!” A Company was looking to hire someone for an important position, so they interviewed dozens of applicants and narrowed their search down to three people from different parts of the world. In an attempt to pick one of them, they decided to give them all the same question to answer within 24 hours, and the one with the best answer would get the job. The question was: ‘A man and a woman are in bed, nude. The woman is lying on her side with her back facing the man, and the man is lying on his side facing the woman’s back. What is the man’s name?’ After the 24 hours was up, the three were brought in to give their answers. The first, from Canada, says “My answer is there IS no answer.’ The second, from New Zealand, says “My answer is that there is no way to determine the answer with the information we were given.” The third one, from Australia said “I’m not exactly sure, but I have it narrowed down to two names. It’s either: Willie Turner or Willie Nailer.” The Australian got the job. President bush goes to a primary school to talk about the war. After
his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and
the President asked what his name is.
