Easy to find
Aunt Edna was sick, and Uncle Roy, who was fixing her a cup of tea, called out that he couldn’t find the tea. “I don’t know what could be easier to find,” she answered. “It’s right in front on the pantry shelf in a cocoa tin marked MATCHES.”
Misunderstood
Hard to believe, but many of our customers at the bank still don’t know how to swipe their card through the ATM card reader. Because of this, my fellow tellers and I often find ourselves having to explain how it’s done. One teller complained that she kept getting odd looks every time she explained it. I found out why when I overheard her tell one man, “Strip down facing me.”
Half my age
A co-worker was telling us about her sister who was coming to visit her for the holidays. Someone asked how old her sister was, at which she paused, thought for a bit, and then answered, “She’s half as old as I am, that’s how I always remember.”
So someone else (okay, it was me) said, “That’s neat… so every year that you age, she only ages half a year?”
My co-worker thought about that, and then said, “Oh, yeah, I guess it only works on even years.”
