The seven-year-old told her mom that a little boy in her class asked her to play doctor.

“Oh,dear,” the mother nervously sighed. “What happened, honey?”

“Nothing, he made me wait 45 minutes and then double-billed the insurance company.”

Why must I prove I am me when I call to pay my bill? Do strangers call to pay my bills? If so, why don’t you let them?

WHAT AN ENGINEER SAYS (AND WHAT IT MEANS)

A number of different approaches are being tried. (We are still grasping at straws.)

We’re working on a fresh approach to the problem. (We just hired three kids fresh out of college.)

Major technological breakthrough. (It works OK, but looks very hi-tech.)

Customer satisfaction upon delivery is assured. (We are so far behind schedule the customer is happy to get it delivered.)

Preliminary operational tests were inconclusive. (The darn thing blew up when we threw the switch.)

Test results were extremely gratifying. (We are so surprised that the stupid thing works.)

The entire concept will have to be abandoned. (The only person who understood the thing quit.)

It is in process. (It is so wrapped up in red tape that the situation is about hopeless.)

We’ll look into it. (Forget it! We have enough problems for now.)

Give us the benefit of your thoughts. (We’ll listen to what you have to say as long as it doesn’t interfere with what we’ve already done.)

Give us your interpretation. (I can’t wait to hear this!)

Low maintenance. (Impossible to fix if broken.)

Sorry I acted crazy. It will happen again.

A young kid found an old lamp. As always the lamp was rubbed and a genie appeared granting 3 wishes.

Genie: I will grant you three wishes!

Kid: I wish math didn’t exist.

Genie: DONE! You have no more wishes.

Ron once worked at a Chicago pizza shop to get by. He kneaded the dough.

Two older women, Colleen and Melinda, who were rivals in a social circle met at a party at their country club.

“My dear,” said Melinda, “Are those real pearls?”

“They are,” replied Colleen.

“Of course the only way I could tell would be for me to bite them,” smiled Melinda.

Colleen responded, “Yes, but for that you would need real teeth.”

Little Dewey went fishing with his dad, who had his fishing license on the back of his hat. 

After a while they had caught no fish when Little Dewey offered the following suggestion: “Dad, turn your hat around so the fish can see your license.”

I insist on instant gratification, no matter how long it takes.

When a young man left his dorm and moved into an apartment, he went shopping for cleaning equipment. His cart was loaded with a broom, mop, dust-pan, sponges and a full array of cleaning products.

At the last minute he topped off his cart with a lone food purchase — a large bag of potato chips.

Seeing the checkout clerk’s quizzical look, he explained, “I’m a very messy eater.”

Started a new routine this week, doing crunches twice a day: Cap’n in the morning, Nestle’s in the afternoon.

A professor stood before his class of twenty senior organic biology students, about to hand out the final exam.

“I want to say that it’s been a pleasure teaching you this semester. I know you’ve all worked extremely hard and many of you are off to medical school after summer. So that no one gets their GPA messed up because they might have been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a ‘B’ for the test.”

There was much rejoicing in the class as students got up, walked to the front of the class, and took the professor up on his offer. As the last taker left the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and asked, “Anyone else? This is your last chance.”

One final student rose up and opted out of the final.

The professor closed the door and took attendance of those students remaining. “I’m glad to see you believe in yourselves,” he said. “You all get ‘A’s.”

The app that counts my steps asked me if I’ve died.

A young woman decided to redecorate her bedroom. She wasn’t sure how many rolls of wallpaper she would need, but she knew that her friend next door had recently done the same job and the two rooms were identical in size.

“Buffy,” she said, “how many rolls of wallpaper did you buy for your bedroom?”

“Ten,” said Buffy.

So the girl bought the ten rolls of paper and did the job, but she had 2 rolls leftover.

“Buffy,” she said. “I bought ten rolls of wallpaper for the bedroom, but I’ve got 2 leftover!”

“Yeah!” said Buffy. “So did I.”
