Consistency, Mentoring
An English teacher often wrote little notes on student essays. Often she worked late, and as the hours passed, her handwriting deteriorated.
One day a student came to her after class with an essay that had been returned. “I can’t make out this comment you wrote on my paper.” , he said
The teacher took the paper and, after studying it, sheepishly replied,
“It says that you should write more legibly!”
Drinking water
Dear Optimist, Pessimist and Realist:
While you guys were busy arguing about the glass of water, I drank it.
Signed,
The Opportunist

Volunteering
One of those physical fitness club franchises was preparing to enter the international market. They placed ads in newspapers all over the county for people who could represent them on a tour. The ad said:
“We’re looking for five men in peak physical condition. Must be able to speak Spanish, French, Chinese, or Japanese. Must be knowledgeable about weights, aerobics, and at least two major sports.”
The day after the ad appeared, a heavy old man of about 70 appeared in the offices of the fitness club. “I’m here about the ad,” Morris said.
The bronzed Adonis behind the desk looked surprised, but decided to be polite. “Do you speak Spanish or French?” he asked Morris.
“Nope,” the old man said.
“Chinese? Japanese?”
“No, both times.”
“Know anything about weights or aerobic exercises?”
“Only that I wouldn’t be caught dead with either one.”
“How about sports?”
“I’ve never played anything more athletic than checkers.”
“I see,” the young man said. “Tell me something. So why did you come here?”
“To tell you personally to count me out!”
