      The manager of a large company noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office.

      “What is your name?” was the first thing the manager asked him.

      “John,” the new guy replied.

      The manager scowled,

      “Look, I don’t know what kind of a place you worked at before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only – Smith, Jones, Baker – that’s all. My name is Mr. Robertson. Now what is your last name?”

      The new guy sighed and said, “Darling. My name is John Darling.”

      “Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you is…”

      “Is that Nora?” asked Willy.

      “Yes, Nora is speaking,” answered the girl.

      A fellow stopped at a rural gas station and, after filling his tank, he bought a soft drink.[45] 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.[46] While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet behind filling in the old.

      “Wait, wait,” the fellow said to the men. “Can you tell me what’s going on here?”

      “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. Aren’t you wasting the county’s money?”

      “You don’t understand, mister,” one of the men said, while he was leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. “Normally there’s three of us, me, Joe and Mike. I dig the hole, Joe sticks in the tree and Mike here puts the dirt back.”

      “Yes,” added Mike. “Now just because Joe is sick, that doesn’t mean we can’t work, does it?”

I shall create a man for you. – What’s a ‘man,’ Lord? – This man will be a flawed creature,[47] with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly, he’ll basically give you a hard time. But he’ll be bigger, faster, and stronger than you.

      – I can put up with that,[48] – says Eve. – Well, but there is one condition. – What’s that, Lord? – You’ll have to let him believe[49] that I made him first.

      A blonde and a brunette are skydiving. The brunette jumps out the plane and pulls the cord – nothing happens. She pulls the emergency cord and still nothing. The blonde finally jumps out of the plane and yells, “Oh! So you want to race,[50] right?”

      A champion jockey is about to enter an important race[51] on a new horse. The horse’s trainer meets him before the race and says, “All you have to remember with this horse is that every time you approach a jump, you have to shout, ‘ALLLLEEE OOOP!’ really loudly in the horse’s ear. If you do that, everything will be fine.” The jockey thinks the trainer is mad but promises to shout the command. The race begins and they approach the first hurdle. The jockey ignores the trainer’s ridiculous advice and the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump. They carry on[52] and approach the second hurdle. The jockey, embarrassed, whispers ‘Ale ooop’ in the horse’s ear. The same thing happens – the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump. At the third hurdle, the jockey thinks, ‘‘It’s no good, I must do it,’’ and yells, ‘‘ALLLEEE OOOP!’’ really loudly. Sure enough, the horse jumps over the hurdle with no problems.
