BUYING A HAT
A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat.As she was very fussy,it took her a long time to pick on one.Already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her:"An excellent choice,madam.You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" To his dismay,the lady took off her hat at once and said:"I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off.Show me some more hats!"
Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States,she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her.At the bank counter,the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real.It made the old lady out of patience.
At last she could not hold any more,uttering."Trust me,Sir,and trust the money.They are real US dollars.They are directly from America."
But the teacher cried
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled .His father knew it,but his grandma doted on him.He hardly left her side.And when he wanted anything,he either cried or threw a temper tantrum.Then came his first day of school,his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.
When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.
"Was school all right?" she asked,"Did you get along all right?did you cry?"
"Cry?" John asked."No,I didn't cry,but the teacher did!"
A Bet
Two pals are sitting in a pub watching the eleven-'clock news.A reporter comes on about a man threatening to jump from the 20th floor of a downtown building.One friend turns to the other and says,'I'll bet you ten bucks the guy doesn't jump.'
'It's a bet,' agrees his buddy.
A few minutes later,the man on the ledge jumps,so the loser hands his pal a $10 bill.'I can't take your money,'his friend admits.'I saw him jump earlier on the six-o'clock news.'
'Me,too,'says the other buddy.'But I didn't think he'd do it again.
