Communication
A bricklayer at my husband’s construction job routinely complained about the contents of his lunch box. “I’m sick and tired of getting the same old thing!” he shouted one day. “Tonight I’ll set my wife straight.”
The next day the men could hardly wait until lunchtime to hear what happened. “You bet I told her off,” the bricklayer boasted. “I said, ‘No more of the same old stuff. Be creative!’ We had one heck of a fight, but I got my point across.
He had indeed. In front of an admiring audience, he opened his lunch box to find that his wife had packed a coconut – and a hammer.
Business Integrity
An optometrist was instructing a new employee on how to charge a customer.
“As you are fitting his glasses, if he asks how much they cost, you say ‘R 450.’
If his eyes don’t flutter, say, ‘For the frames. The lenses will be R500.’
If his eyes still don’t flutter, you add ‘Each.'”
