Donations
A tired mom opened the front door of her home to find a young minister from the neighborhood who said, “I’m collecting donations for the new children’s home we’re building. I hope you’ll give what you can.”
“To be sure,” said the beleaguered woman, “I’ll give you two boys, two girls, OR one of each.”
Changing Times
While I was employed by a private corporation and assigned to the space-shuttle program, my job included ordering supplies.
One of the engineers asked me to get a new dictionary for him. The request form said, “State reason this item is needed,” so I asked him why he wanted one.
I expected his answer would be “My old copy is lost” or “The cover is falling off.” Instead he replied, “My edition defines spaceship as an ‘imaginary aircraft.'”
He got his new dictionary.
Interview
An applicant was being interviewed for admission to a pro- minent medical school.
“Tell me,” inquired the interviewer, “where do you expect to be five years from now?”
“Well, let’s see,” replied the student. “It’s Wednesday afternoon. I guess I’ll be on the golf course by now.”
