2503 Years Old
A tourist is traveling with a guide through one of the thickest jungles in Latin America, when he comes across an ancient Mayan temple. The tourist is entranced by the temple and asks the guide for details. The guide states that archaeologists are carrying out excavations and are still finding great treasures. The tourist then queries how old the temple is.
“This temple is 2,503 years old,” replies the guide.
Impressed at this accurate dating, he asks how he knew this precise figure.
“Easy,” replies the guide. “The archaeologists said the temple was 2,500 years old, and that was three years ago.”
Impartiality
A friend of mine had just become a district court judge and was nervous about presiding impartially over his first criminal trial. As a former prosecutor, he could see the preponderance of evidence was clearly against the defendant.
The proceedings went smoothly, until it was time for him to instruct the jury. “The jury,” he said, “is to convene to the guilty room.”
Intercom Repair
My friend’s son worked at a fast-food restaurant when he was in high school.
One night while he was manning the drive-thru, a customer told him that the Intercom wasn’t working properly. My friend’s son went about filling the order while a female co-worker fiddled with the intercom.
She asked, “Is that okay now?”
“Well, no,” the customer replied. “Now you sound like a girl.”
