A man wrote a letter to a small
hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation.
He
wrote:"I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is
well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep
him in my room with me at night?"
An immediate reply came
from the hotel owner, who said, "I've been
operating this hotel for
many years. In all that time, I've never had a
dog steal towels,
bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls.
I've never had to
evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk
and
disorderly. And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes,
indeed,
your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch
for
you, you're welcome to stay here, too."
A man was driving along
the
highway, and saw a rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He
swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but unfortunately the rabbit
jumped in front of the car and was hit. The driver, being a sensitive man
as
well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road and
got
out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay,
the rabbit
was dead. The driver felt so awful he began to
cry.
A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of
the
road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the
man what
was wrong.
"I feel terrible," he explained. "I
accidently hit this rabbit and
killed it."
The woman told the man
not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to
her car trunk and
pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp,
dead rabbit, and
sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit.
Miraculously,
the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two
humans and hopped down the road. 50 feet away the rabbit stopped, turned
around, waved at the two again, hopped down the road another 50 feet,
turned, waved, and hopped another 50 feet. The man was astonished.
He
couldn't figure out what substance could be in the woman's
spray can!
He ran over to the woman and demanded, " What was in your
spray can?
What did you spray onto that rabbit?" The woman turned
the can around so
that the man could read the label. It
said:
"'Hare Spray' Restores Life to Dead Hare. Adds Permanent Wave."
A
fellow stopped at a rural gas
station and, after filling his tank, he
paid the bill and bought a
soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his
cola and he watched a
couple of men working along the roadside. One man
would dig a hole
two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man
came along
behind and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new
hole, the
other was about 25 feet behind filling in the old. The men
worked
right past the fellow with the soft drink and went on down the
road.
"I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can in a trash
container and heading down the road toward the men.
"Hold it, hold
it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me what's
going on here
with this digging?"
"Well, we work for the county government, "
one of the men said.
"But one of you is digging a hole and the
other is filling it up.
You're not accomplishing anything. Are
n't you wasting the county's
money?"
"You don't
understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his
shovel and wiping
his brow. "Normally there's three of us--me, Rodney
and Mike. I
dig the hole, Rodney sticks in the tree and Mike here puts
the dirt
back."
"Yea," piped up Mike. "Now just because Rodney's sick,
that don't
mean we can't work, does it?"
Walking through Chinatown, a tourist
is fascinated with all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and
banners. He turns a corner and sees a building with the sign, "Hans
Olaffsen's Laundry."
"Hans Olaffsen?", he muses. "How in
hell does that fit in here?" So
he walks into the shop and sees an
old Chinese gentleman behind the
counter.
The tourist asks,
"How did this place get a name like 'Hans
Olaffsen's Laundry?'"
The old man answers, "Is name of owner."
The tourist asks,
"Well, who and where is the owner?" "Me...is right
here," replies the
old man.
"You? How did you ever get a name like Hans Olaffsen?"
"Is simple," says the old man. "Many, many year ago when come to
this country, was stand in line at Documentation Center. Man in
front was
big blonde Swede. Lady look at him and go, 'What your
name?' He
say,'Hans Olaffsen.' Then she look at me and go, 'Wh
at your name?'"
"I say Sem Ting."
During my stay at an expensive hotel
in New York
City, I woke up in the middle of the night with an
upset stomach. I
called room service and ordered some soda crackers.
When I looked at the
charge slip, I was furious. I called room
service and raged, "I know
I'm in a luxury hotel, but $11.50 for six
crackers is ridiculous!"
"The crackers are complimentary," the voice
to the other end cooly
explained. "I believe you are complaining
about your room number."
A travel agent looked up from his
desk to see an older lady and an
older gentleman peering in the
shop window at the posters showing
the glamorous destinations around
the world. The agent had had a
good week and the dejected couple
looking in the window gave him a
rare feeling of generosity.
He
called them into his shop and said, "I know that on your pension
you could never hope to have a holiday, so I am sending you off to
a
fabulous resort at my expense, and I won't take no for an answer."
He took them inside and asked his secretary to write two flight
tickets
and book a room in a five star hotel. They, as can be
expected, gladly
accepted, and were on their way.
About a month
later the little lady came in to his shop. "And
how did you like your
holiday?" he asked eagerly. "The flight
was exciting and the room
was lovely," she said. "I've come to thank
you.
But, one th
ing puzzled me. Who was that old guy I had to share the
room
with?"
There was some mix-up with a
woman's room. The
clerk (or whatever they are called on ships)
was
trying to remedy the situation. He asked, "Would you
like an inside
cabin or an outside cabin?" She
replied, "Well, it looks like it might
rain today.
I'd better get an inside cabin."
Someone -- always a man -- always
asks, "does the
ship run on generators?" The Cruise Director
usually
tells them, "No, we just have a very long power line
running
to the mainland."
I got a call from a woman who
wanted to go
to Capetown.
started to explain the length of the flight
and the passport
information when she interrupted me with "I'm not
trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in
Massachusetts."
Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I
calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown
is in
Africa." Her response... click.
The frightened tourist: "Are
there any bats in this cave?"
The guide: "There were, but don't
worry, the snakes ate all of
them."
The tourist: "Can you tell me why
so many famous Civil War battles were fought on National Park
Sites?"
Windsor castle, outside of London,
is directly in the flight path of
Heathrow International Airport.
While a group of tourist was standing
outside the castle admiring
the elegant structure, a plane flew overhead
at a relatively low
altitude making a tremendous amount of noise. One
particularly annoyed
tourist whined, "Why did they build the castle so
close to the
airport?"
A pair of tourists were out in the
fields
when they discovered an abandoned well near an old farm
house. Of course
they're curious so they drop a small stone into the
well, but they
never hear it hit bottom. They search and find a
larger rock and drop it
into the well but once again hear nothing. They
decide they need
something larger and search the farm yard for a
larger object. After much
struggle, they manage to drag a large
railroad tie to the edge of the well
and drop it over the
edge.
After several seconds, a goat tears across the yard and without any
hesitation, dives head first into the open hole. The two tourists stand
in
amazement. About then a farmer appears and tells them he is
looking for
a lost goat. The tourists tell the farmer about the goat
diving into
the well.
"That couldn't be my goat", the farmer
replies, "My goat was
grazing in the field roped to a railroa
d tie!"
"Were you in Paris on your
vacation?"
"I don't know, my wife got the tickets."
Two anthropologists fly
to the
south sea islands to study the natives. They go to two adjacent
islands and set to work. A few months later one of them takes a canoe
over to the other island to see how his colleague is doing. When he
gets
there, he finds the other anthropologist standing among a group
of
natives.
"Greetings! How is it going?" says the visiting
anthropologist.
"Wonderful!" says the other, "I have discovered
an important fact
about the local language! Watch!"
He points
at a palm tree and says, "what is that?"
The natives, in unison, say
"Umbalo-gong!"
He then points at a rock and says, "and that?"
The
natives again intone "Umbalo-gong!"
"You see!", says the beaming
anthropologist, "They use the SAME word
for 'rock' and for 'palm
tree'!"
"That is truly amazing!" says the astonished visiting
anthropologist,
"On the other island, the same word means 'ind
ex finger'!"
In Alaska's National Forests, a
tourists guide was giving a talk to a group of tourists about hiking
in
grizzly bear territory: "Most bear encounters occur when hikers,
being
extra quiet along the trails in hopes of viewing wildlife,
accidentally
stumble into bears. The resulting suprise can be
catastrophic." To
avoid this, he suggested that each hiker wear tiny bells
on their clothing
to warn the bears of their presence. "Also," he
said further, "be
especially cautious when you see signs of bears in
the area, especially
when you see bear droppings."
One
tourist asked, "How do you identify bear droppings?"
"Oh that's
easy," the guide explained, "its the ones with all the
tiny bells in
them!"
Two tourists were driving through
Louisiana. As
they were approaching Natchitoches, they started
arguing about the
pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth
until they stopped
for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one
tourist asked the employee,
"Before we order, could you please settle
an argument for us? Would
you please pronounce where we are... very
slowly?"
The girl leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrrrr,
gerrrrrrr,
Kiiiiing."
A man is walking down the street
when he sees a sign in the
window of a travel agency that says
CRUISES - $100. He goes into the
agency and hands the guy $100. The
travel agent then whacks him over the
head with a baseball bat and
throws him in the river.
Another man is walking down the street a
half hour later, sees the sign
and pays the guy $100. The travel agent
then whacks him with the
baseball bat and throws him in the
river.
Sometime later, the two men are floating down the river together
and
the first man asks, "Do you think they'll serve any food on
this
cruise?"
The second man says, "I don't think so. They
didn't do it last
year."
A tourist was being led through the
swamps of Florida. "Is it
true," he asked, "that an alligator
won't attack you if you carry a
flashlight?"
"That depends," replied
the guide, "on how fast you carry the
flashlight."
"Look, guide, here are some LION
tracks."
"Good. You see where they go and I'll find out where they
came
from."
A person checks into a hotel for
the first time in his life, and goes up to his room. Five minutes
later
he calls the desk and say, "You've given me a room with no
exit. How
do I leave?"
The desk clerk says, "Sir, that's absurd.
Have you looked for the
door?"
The person says, " Well,
there's one door that leads to the bathroom.
There's a second door that
goes into the closet. And there's a door I
haven't tried, but it
has a 'do not disturb' sign on it."
A
farmer, who went to a big
city to see the sights, asked the hotel's clerk
about the time of
meals.
"Breakfast is served from 7 to 11, dinner from 12 to 3, and
supper
from 6 to 8," explained the clerk.
"Look here,"
inquired the farmer in surprise, "when am I going to
get time to see the
city?"
A traveller pulls into a hotel
around
midnight and asks the clerk for a single room. As the clerk
fills out the
paperwork, the man looks around and sees a gorgeous
blonde sitting in the
lobby. He tells the clerk to wait while he
disappears into the lobby.
After a minute he comes back, with the girl on
his arm.
"Fancy meeting my wife here," he says to the clerk.
"Guess I'll
need a double room for the night."
Next morning,
he comes to settle his bill, and finds the amount to be
over $3000.
"What's the meaning of this?" he yells at the clerk.
"I've only
been here one night!"
"Yes," says the clerk, "but your wife has
been here for three
weeks."
"Room Service? Can you send up a
towel?" "Please wait, someone
else is using it."
"Room service? Send up a larger
room."
A not so rich couple decided to
stay at a very exclusive hotel for a night. The manager immediately
recognized them for what they are but could not throw them out,
instead he
decided to be clever. In the morning the couple came to
settle the bill
and were surprized to find they owe
$3000.
"How's this? We've only been here one night!" the man was
annoyed.
"So?", said the manager, "this is a very expensive hotel. We have
golf
courts, tennis courts, swimming pools, exercise rooms, bars and
restaurants, all this is very expensive to keep up."
"But we didn't use
any of these!" explained the couple.
"If you didn't use - that's
your problem," came the reply.
"In that case, you owe me $2000.
You see, my wife is a call girl who
charges $5000 a night, so please
settle your bill," said the man.
"What do you mean?" the manager was
taken off guard, "I didn't
sleep with your wife!"
"If yo
u didn't use - that's your problem!"
"And will there be
anything
else, sir?" the bellboy asked after setting out an elaborate
dinner
for two.
"No thank you," the gentleman replied. "That will be
all."
As the young man turned to leave, he noticed a beautiful satin
negligee
on the bed. "Anything for your wife ?" he asked.
"Yeah!
That's a good idea," the fellow said. "Please bring up a
postcard."
A traveler became lost in the
Sahara desert. Realizing his
only chance for survival was to find
civilization, he began walking.
Time passed, and he became thirsty. More
time passed, and he began feeling
faint. He was on the verge of
passing out when he spied a tent about
500 meters in front of him.
Barely conscious, he reached the tent and
called out,
"Water...".
A bedouin appeared in the tent door and replied sympathetically, "I
am
sorry, sir, but I have no water. However, would you like to buy
a
tie?" With this, he brandished a collection of exquisite silken
neckwear.
"You fool," gasped the man. "I'm dying! I need
water!"
"Well, sir," replied the bedouin, "If you really need water, there
is a tent about two kilometers south of here where you can get
some."
Without knowing how, the man summoned sufficient strength to
drag his
parched body the distance to the second tent. With his
last ounce of
strength he tugged at the door of the tent and
collapsed.
Another bedouin, dressed in a costly tuxedo, appeared at
the door and
enquired, "May I help you sir?"
"Water..." was the
feeble reply.
"Oh, sir," replied the bedouin, "I'm sorry, but you
can't come in
here without a tie!"
Three New Zealanders and three
Aussies are
travelling by train to a cricket match at the World Cup in
England.
At the station, the three Aussies each buy a ticket
and watch as the
three New Zealanders buy just one ticket between
them. "How are the
three of you going to travel on only one ticket?"
asks one of the Aussies.
"Watch and learn," answers one of the New
Zealanders.
They all board the train. The Aussies take their
respective seats but
all three New Zealanders cram into a toilet and
close the door behind
them.
Shortly after the train has
departed, the conductor comes around
collecting tickets. He knocks on
the toilet door and says, "Ticket please."
The door opens just a
crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in
hand. The conductor
takes it and moves on.
The Aussies see this and agree it was
quite a clever idea. So after the
game, they decide to copy the
New Zealanders on the return trip and
save some money (being
clever with money, and all that).
When they get to the station,
they buy a single ticket for the return
trip. To their astonishment,
the New Zealanders don't buy a ticket at
all!!
"How are you
going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed
Aussie.
"Watch and learn," answers a New Zealander. When they board the
train
the three Aussies cram into a toilet and soon after the three New
Zealanders cram into another nearby. The train departs.
Shortly afterwards, one of the New Zealanders leaves the toilet and
walks over to the toilet where the Aussies are hiding.
He knocks
on the door and says, "Ticket please."
A magician was
working on a
cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience
would be
different each
week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same
tricks over and
over
again. There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw
the shows
each week and
began to understand how the magician did
every trick. Once he
understood he started
shouting in the middle
of the show: "Look, it's not the same hat"
"Look, he is hiding
the
flowers under the table" "Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of
Spades
?" The magician
was furious but couldn't do anything; it
was, after all, the
captain's
parrot.
One day the ship had an
accident and sank. The magician found himself
on a piece of
wood
in the middle of the ocean with the parrot, of course. They stared
at
each other with hate,
but did not utter a word. This went on for a
day and another and
another.
After a week the parrot said:
"OK, I give up. Where's the boat?"
A group of Americans was touring
Ireland. One of the women in
the group was a real curmudgeon,
constantly complaining. The
bus seats are uncomfortable.The food is
terrible. It's too hot. It's
too cold. The accommodations are
awful.
The group arrived at the site of the famous Blarney Stone.
"Good luck will be followin' ya all your days if you kiss the
Blarney Stone,"the guide said. "Unfortunately, it's being
cleaned
today and so no one willbe able to kiss it. Perhaps we
can come back
tomorrow."
"We can't be here tomorrow," the nasty woman shouted.
"We
have some other boring tour to go on. So I guess we can't kiss
the stupid stone."
"Well now," the guide said, "it is said
that if you kiss someone
who has kissed the stone, you'll have the
same good fortune."
"And I suppose you've kissed the stone,"
the woman scoffed.
"No, ma'am," the frustrated guide said,
"but I've sat on
it."
Father O'Mally has been preaching
at his church in Ireland for so
long, that he decides to take a
vacation. He has never been married
and he is curious as to what an
American endures in everyday life. So,
he decides to go to the States
before it is too late. He hops on the
plane bound for Nevada. He
arrives in the Airport in Las Vegas.
As he is exiting the plane,
someone in the airport runs up to him and
exclaims, "Elvis! Oh my God!
It's Elvis! I knew you weren't dead
Elvis! How have you been?"
Father looks at her and says, "Get outta
me
face. Can't you see
I'm not Elvis? I don't look a thing like
Elvis."
The
father moves on to his cab waiting outside. He hops in his cab and
he's
a little upset so he tells the cabby, "Take me to my hotel and
step
on it." The cabby turns and says, "Sure thing sir - Oh my God!
It's
Elvis! I knew you weren't dead! I'm your number one fan! It's
so
great to see you!" "Shut up, you imbecile. I'm not Elvis!
Now turn
around and drive!"
So, the cabby speeds up to the
hotel. Father O'Malley gets his things
and walks up to the hotel
check-in counter. "Oh my God! Oh my God!
It's you!" screams the hotel
clerk. "You're back Elvis! I knew this
day would happen. We saved
everything just the way you like it! Free
cheeseburgers, peanut
butter and banana fried sandwiches, masseurs,
and a full liquor bar!
I'm so glad you're back!"
Father O'Malley looks at the hotel
clerk and says, "Thank you...
Thank
you very much!"
The Zen Master is visiting New York
City from Tibet.
He goes up to a
hot dog vendor and says, "Make
me one with everything."
The hot dog vendor fixes a hot dog and
hands it to the Zen Master, who
pays with a $20 bill.
The
vendor puts the bill in the cash box and closes it. "Where's
my
change?" asks the Zen Master.
The vendor responds, "Change must come
from within."
A couple were
being given a
guided tour of Pico da Bandeira,
one of the highest mountains in the
Americas. Their guide
pointed out where a young couple, petrified by
lava, had been
discovered. They had died in the act of making
love.
"How awful !" exclaimed the wife.
"Si, but what a great
way to spend eternity." added the
husband.
A German tourist walks into a
McDonald's in New York City
and orders a
beer. (In Germany and many
parts of Europe, McDonald's actually does
serve
beer.) The
local guy in the line behind him immediately gives him the
jab: "They
don't serve BEER here, you MORON!" The German fellow felt
pretty
stupid, but suddenly turns to the New Yorker with a surprised
look,
and begins to chuckle.
"And what's so funny?!?" the New
Yorker demands.
"Oh, nothing really, I just realized that you came
here for the
food."
This woman is visiting in Israel
and notices that her little travel alarm
needs a battery. She
looks for a watch repair shop and while she
doesn't
read Hebrew
she finally sees a shop with clocks and watches in the
window.
She goes in and hands the man her clock. The man says, "Madam, I
don't
repair clocks. I am a Mohel. I do circumcisions."
She says,
"Why all the clocks in the window?"
And he says, "And what should I
have in my window?"
A businessman
was having a
tough time lugging his lumpy, oversized travel
bag onto the plane.
Helped by a flight attendant, he finally managed to
stuff it in the
overhead bin. "Do you always carry such heavy
luggage?"
she
sighed.
"No more," the man said. "Next time, I'm riding in the bag, and my
partner can buy the ticket!"
A tourist is visiting New York City
when his car breaks down. He jumps out
and starts fiddling
under the hood. About five minutes later, he hears
some thumping sounds
and looks around to see someone taking stuff out
of
his trunk!
He runs around and yells, "Hey, bud, this is my car!"
"OK," the
man says, "You take the front and I`ll take the back."
Helpful

A man and a woman who have never
met before
find themselves in the same
sleeping carriage of a
train. After the initial embarrassment, they
both
manage to get to
sleep; the woman on the top bunk, the man on the
lower.
In the
middle of the night the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry
to
bother you but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could
possibly
pass me another blanket."
The man leans out and,
with a glint in his eye, says, "I've got a
better
idea...
let's pretend we're married."
"Why not?" giggles the woman.
"Good," he replies. "Get your own blanket."
Steve is going on an ocean cruise,
and he tells his doctor that
he's worried about getting real
seasick. The doctor tells him,
"Just eat two pounds of stewed tomatoes
before you leave the dock."
Steve says, "Will that keep me from
getting sick?"
The doctor says, "No, but it'll look real pretty in the
water."
An
American touring Spain
stopped at a local restaurant following a day
of sightseeing. While
sipping his sangria, he noticed a sizzling,
scrumptious looking platter
being served at the next table. Not only
did
it look good, the
smell was wonderful. He asked the waiter, "What is
that
you
just served?"
The waiter replied, " Ah senor, you have excellent
taste! Those are
bulls
testicles from the bull fight this
morning. A delicacy!"
The American, though momentarily daunted, said,
"What the hell, I'm
on
vacation! Bring me an order!"
The
waiter replied, "I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving
per
day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come
early
tomorrow and place your order, we will be sure to save
you this
delicacy!"
The next morning, the American returned,
placed his order, and then
that
evening he was served the
one and only special delicacy of the day.
After a few bites, and
inspecting the contents of his platter, he
called
to the waiter
and said, "These are delicious, but they are much, much
smaller
than the ones I saw you serve yesterday!"
The waiter shrugged his
shoulders and replied, "Si senor. Sometimes
the
bull wins."
A Jewish couple, are sitting
together on an airplane
flying to the
Far East. Over the public
address system, the Captain announces:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am
afraid I have some very bad news. Our
engines have ceased functioning,
and this plane will be going down
momentarily. Luckily, I see an
island below us that should be able to
accommodate our landing. This
island appears to be uncharted; I am
unable to find it on our maps. So
the odds are that we will never be
rescued and will have to live on
the island for a very long time, if
not
for the rest of our
lives. A few minutes later the plane lands safely
on
the island,
whereupon Morris turns to his wife and asks, "Esther, did
we pay our
pledge to the Yeshiva yet?" No Morris!" she responded.
Morris smiles,
then asks, "Esther, did we pay our UJA pledge?"
"Oy no, I forgot to
send the check!!" Now Morris laughs.
"One last thing, Esther.
Did you remember to send our Temple
Building Fund check this
month?" "Oy Morris I forgot that one too!"
Now Morris is practically
choking with laughter. Esther asks Morris,
"So what are you smiling and
laughing about?
Morris responds, "They'll find us."

There was a man staying the night
in a hotel. He called the
front desk and said,
"Excuse me, sir,
I've got a leak in my sink."
The man at the front desk replied,
"Oh, okay, go ahead, but most
guests just use the toilet."
A man arrived at a seaside hotel
where he
had made a reservation rather late at night. All the lights
were out, so
he knocked on the door. After a long time a light
appeared in an
upstairs window and a woman called out, "Who are you?
What do you want?"
"I'm staying here!" "Stay there, then," she

the window shut!
There was a little old lady from a
small town in America who had to go to Texas. She was amazed at the
size of her hotel and her suite. She went into the huge cafe and
said to
the waitress, who took her order for a cup of coffee, that
she had never
before seen anything as big as the hotel or her suite.
"Everything's
big in Texas ma'am," said the waitress. The coffee
came in the
biggest cup the old lady had ever seen. "I told you,
ma'am, that everything
is big in Texas," said the waitress. On her
way back to her suite, the
old lady got lost in the vast corridors.
She opened the door of a
darkened room and fell into an enormous
swimming pool. "Please!" she
screamed. "Don't flush it!"
Teacher: I'd like a room, please.

A huge American car screeched to a
halt in a sleepy English village, and the driver called out to a
local
inhabitant,
"Say, am I on the right road for Shakespeare's
birthplace?"
"Ay, straight on, sir," said the rustic, "but no need
to hurry.
He's dead."
What did the teacher say after
spending thousands in the
expensive hotel?
I'm sorry to leave, now
that I've almost bought the place.
On her
annual visit to another
planet, an old lady turns to the cabin steward
and says. "I hope
this spaceship doesn't travel faster than sound.
"Why?" replies the
cabin steward. "Because my friend and I want to
talk, that's
why."
The transatlantic liner was
experiencing particularly heavy weather, and Mrs Jones wasn't feeling
well.
"Would you care for some more supper, ma'am?" asked the
steward.
"No, thanks," replied the wretched passenger. "Just throw it
overboard
to save me the trouble."
A police officer was amazed to see
a hiker
walking along the road carrying a sign which read "To
Seattle." "What

"I'm walking to
Seattle," said the hiker, "and I don't want to lose
my
way."
Tourist: Is this 99 Main
Street?
Resident: No, it's 66, but we turn it upside down to confuse

A boat
docked in a tiny Mexican
village. An American tourist complimented the
Mexican fisherman on
the quality of his fish and asked how long it took
him to catch
them.
"Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why
didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the
tourist.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet
his
needs and those of his family.
The tourist asked, "So
what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a
little, play with my children, spend time with
my wife... In the
evenings I go into the village to see my friends, have
a few drinks,
play the guitar, chase the senioras, and sing a few
songs. I have a
full life."
The tourist said, "I have a M.B.A. from Stanford and
I can help you.
You should start by fishing longer every day. You
can then sell the
extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue
, you can buy a bigger boat.
With the extra money the larger boat
will bring, you can buy a second one
and a third one and so on
until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
Instead of selling your
fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly
with the processing
plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can
then leave this
little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or
even New
Jersey! From there you can direct your huge enterprise."
"How long
would that take?" asked the Mexican.
"Twenty, perhaps
twenty-five years," replied the tourist.
"And after that?" asked the
Mexican.
"Afterwards? That's when it gets really interesting,"
answered the
tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you
can start
selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions?
Really?" asked the Mexican. "And after that?"
The tourist replied,
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a
tiny village n
ear the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch
a few
fish, spend time with your wife, and spend your evenings drinking
and
playing the guitar with your friends!"
An American tourist
travelling
in Limerick came across a little antique shop in which he was
lucky
enough to pick up, for a mere $150, the skull of Saint Patrick.
Included in the price was a certificate of the skull's authenticity,
signed by Saint Patrick himself.
Ten years later the tourist
returned to Ireland and asked the antique
shop owner if he had any
more bargains. "I've got the very thing for
you," said the Irishman.
"It's the genuine skull of Saint Patrick".
"You swindler!" shouted
the American. "You sold me that ten years
ago," and, producing the
skull, added, "Look, they're not even the
same size!"
"You
have it all wrong," said the Irishman. "This is the skull of
Saint
Patrick when he was a lad."
A client called in inquiring about

Joan, who was rather
well-proportioned, spent almost all of her
vacation sunbathing on the roof of her
hotel.
She wore a bathing suit the first day, but on the
second, she decided
that no one could see her way up there, and she
slipped out of it for an
overall tan.
She'd hardly begun when
she heard someone running up the stairs. She
was lying on her
stomach, so she just pulled a towel over her rear.
"Excuse me, miss,"
said the flustered assistant manager of the hotel,
out of breath
from running up the stairs. "The Hilton doesn't mind
your sunbathing
on the roof, but we would very much appreciate your
wearing a
bathing suit as you did yesterday."
"What difference does it make?"
Joan asked rather calmly. "No one
can see me up here, and besides,
I'm covered with a towel."
"Not exactly," said the embarrassed
man. "You're lying on the
dining room skylight."
Two Yanks touring London in a taxi.
What is that
asked one of the Yank's. Why that is Buckingham
Palace answered the
taxi driver. Well you should see the states we have
much bigger houses
over there, and that. That is the Post Office
Tower. Oh our towers are
much bigger. This went on for much of the
day until they went past a
another building. Our buildings are much
bigger than that one too. I thought
it might be said the taxi
driver, That is the mental institute
