Careless Words
While my son was on board the Navy carrier USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, the air wing was busy with training missions.
After talking to a pilot, one air-traffic controller accidentally left his microphone on and remarked to a nearby buddy, “That guy sounded just like Elmer Fudd.”
The airwaves got strangely quiet as everyone listened, realizing that the pilot had also heard the comment. After about ten seconds, the pilot broke the silence by announcing,
“Be vewy, vewy quiet. We are hunting submawenes.”
Job Impressions
I had always talked about my job a lot at home, and my young daughter had always expressed great interest. So I thought it would be a treat for her to spend the day with me at the office. Since I wanted it to be a surprise, I didn’t tell her where we were going, just that it would be fun. Although usually a bit shy, she seemed excited to meet each colleague I introduced. On the way home, however, she seemed somewhat down.
“Didn’t you have a nice time?” I asked.
“Well, it was okay.” she responded. “But I thought it would be more like a circus.”
Confused, I asked, “Whatever do you mean?”
She said, “Well, you said you work with a bunch of clowns, and I never got to see them!”
Plumber’s Sign
Seen on a plumber’s truck: “We repair what your husband fixed. – Don’t sleep with a drip.”
Frantic Writing
My neighbor was bitten by a stray rabid dog. I went to see how he was and found him writing frantically.
I told him rabies could be cured and he didn’t have to worry about writing a will.
He said, “Will!? What will? I’m making a list of the people I wanna bite!”
