What’s Good Tonight
Our family owned restaurant is the setting for many of our discussions about how to handle the customer who asks, “What’s good tonight?”
Obviously, we would never serve anything we didn’t think was good. I braced myself one Saturday night when I heard the dreaded question posed to my husband.
He calmly replied, “Anything over R129.95.”
Optometrist’s Sign
See on a sign at an Optometrist’s Office:
“If you don’t see what your looking for you’ve come to the right place.”
“Stubborn Problem”
I had been doing Tech Support for Hewlett-Packard’s DeskJet division for about a month when I had a customer call with a problem I just couldn’t solve. She could not print yellow. All the other colors would print fine, which truly baffled me because the only true colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow.
For instance, green is a combination of cyan and yellow, but green printed fine. Every color of the rainbow printed fine except for yellow. I had the customer change ink cartridges. I had the customer delete and reinstall the drivers. Nothing worked. I asked my coworkers for help; they offered no new ideas.
After over two hours of troubleshooting, I was about to tell the customer to send the printer in to us for repair when she asked quietly, “Should I try printing on a piece of white paper instead of this yellow paper?”
Hog Heaven
A man called the church office and said he would like talk to the “Hog Head” of the church.
The secretary responded, “If you mean the pastor, be respectful and call him Pastor, but he is not in right now. Can I help you?”
The man told her he was going to tell him he was about to give him a check for R100,000 towards the building fund.
The secretary said immediately, “Wait a minute, Old Porkie just walked in.”
