Wrong Parts
A parts manager for a small electronics shop, had occasion to order part No. 669 from the factory. But when he received it he noticed that someone had sent part No. 699 instead.
Furious at the factory’s incompetence, he promptly sent the part back along with a letter giving them a piece of his mind.
Less than a week later, he received the same part back with a letter containing just four words: “TURN THE PART OVER.”
Greener Pastures
Youth looks for greener pastures; middle age is when we can hardly mow the one we’ve got.
By the time a person gets to greener pastures, he can’t climb the fence.
The grass may actually be greener on the other side of the fence, but it still has to be mowed.
What A Sacrifice!
Henderson lived in a small town and had been a staunch Republican all his life. Now, at 90, his health began to fail. “You’ve had a full and rewarding life,” his doctor said. “Just sit on your porch and enjoy your last days.”
One morning, Henderson asked his son to take him the courthouse downtown so he could change his registration from Republican to Democrat. “But, Dad,” protested the young man, “you started this town’s Republican Party and attended every function. Why would you want to become a Democrat?”
“Son,” replied Henderson, “if someone has to die, it might as well be one of them.”
