“Zookeeper’s Dilemma”
A zookeeper wanted to get some extra animals for his zoo, so he decided to compose a letter. The only problem was that he didn’t know the plural of “mongoose.”
He started the letter: “To whom it may concern, I need two mongeese.”
No, that wouldn’t work, so he tried again: “To whom it may concern, I need two mongooses.” Is that right?
Finally, he got an idea: “To whom it may concern, I need a mongoose, and while you’re at it, send me another one.”
Seat warmers
Sam and Ruth from Maine had just bought a new car when winter hit with all its fury. “I wonder if the car has seat warmers,” Ruth wondered.
“It sure does,” said Sam, looking through the owner’s manual. “Here it is…rear defrosters.”
“Hamlet”
“Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
‘I’ll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?'”
