Nephew Caddy
My five-year-old nephew wanted to caddy for my brother’s golf game.
“You have to count my strokes,” my brother told him. “How much is six plus nine plus eight?”
“Five,” answered the nephew.
“Okay,” my brother said, “let’s go.”
Fallen Load Ticket
Driving to work, a gentleman had to swerve to avoid a box that fell out of a truck in front of him. Seconds later, two policemen came by.
While one pulled the gentleman over, the second carefully stopped traffic and recovered the box so as to avoid any further mishaps. When they opened the box, they found it contained large upholstery tacks.
“I’m sorry sir,” the first traffic cop told the driver, “but I’m going to have to write you a ticket.”
Amazed, the driver asked, “For what??”
The cop replied, “Tacks evasion.”
Accepting Authority
A woman in a drafting unit was promoted to supervisor and some of the older male workers were having difficulty accepting her authority.
While she instructed one such subordinate, he interrupted with, “Young lady, I’m old enough to be your father.”
“And,” she replied, “I’m old enough to be your supervisor.”
