Wet Grades
A high-school student came home from school seeming rather depressed.
“What’s the matter, son,” asked his mother.
The boy says, “It’s my grades. They’re all wet.”
“What do you mean `all wet?'”
“I mean,” he replied, “below C-level.”
24 hrs service
Needing some clothes cleaned in a hurry, a man searched this small Karoo Town town in which he was visiting until he found a sign which read: “Cleaning and Pressing, 24-Hour Service.”
After explaining his needs, he said, “I’ll be back for my suit tomorrow.”
“Won’t be ready till Saturday,” replied the owner.
“But I thought you had 24-hour service,” the customer protested.
“We do, son,” the owner said reproachfully. “But we only work eight hours a day. Today’s Thursday – eight hours today, eight hours Friday, eight on Saturday. That’s 24-hour service.”
A place and time for everything
While watching a movie recently, I couldn’t hear the dialogue over the chatter of the two women sitting in front of me. Unable to bear it any longer, I tapped one of them on the shoulder.
“Excuse me,” I said, “I can’t hear.”
“I should hope not,” she replied sharply. “This is a private conversation.”
