“Fine Furniture”
“Oh, that’s nothing,” the maid interjected. “My whole living-room set goes back to Sears the fifteenth.”
If it is any good
An elderly fisherman wrote the following to a catalog company: “Please send me one of those petrol engines for my boat you show on page 438, and if it’s any good, I’ll send you a check.”
In a short time he received the following reply: “Please send check. If it’s any good, we’ll send the engine.”
Pet fish
A Cajun was stopped by a game warden in Southern Louisiana recently with two ice chests of fish, leaving a bay well known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man, “Do you have a license to catch those fish?”
“Naw, ma fren, I ain’t got none of dem, no. Dese here are my pet fish.”
“Pet fish?”
“Ya. Avery night I take dese here fish down to de bayou and let dem swim ’round for a while. Den I whistle and dey jump rat back inta dis here ice chest and I take dem home.”
“That’s a bunch of hooey! Fish can’t do that!”
The Cajun looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, “It’s de truth ma’ fren. I’ll show you. It really works.”
“Okay, I’ve GOT to see this!”
The Cajun poured the fish into the bay and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, “Well?”
“Well, what?” Said the Cajun.
“When are you going to call them back?”
“Call who back?”
“The FISH!”
“What fish?”
