Pizza delivery
I deliver pizza to help cover my college tuition. Once I called on customers who sent their seven-year-old son to pay me. As he approached the screen door, I noticed he was carrying a cheque in one hand and R10 in the other, which I assumed was my tip.
To my dismay, he pocketed the R10 before handing me the cheque, which was for the exact cost of the pizza.
“Could that have been a tip?” I asked, trying not to sound accusatory.
“Yep,” he replied proudly. “not bad for just a walk from the living room and back!”
Happy Birthday Bill
A lawyer sent an overdue bill to a client. A note was attached that stated: “This bill is one year old.”
By return mail the lawyer had his bill back. To it was attached a card which read: “Happy Birthday.”
Firehouse Training Session
At a training session in the fire station, the team was assembled around the kitchen table.
The training officer was discussing the behavior of fire: “You pull up to a house and notice puffs of smoke coming from the eaves, blackened out windows and little or no visible flame. What does this tell you?” he asked.
Expecting to hear that the house is in a possible back draft situation, a condition very dangerous to fire fighters, he instead heard from one quick wit,
“You got the right place.”
