I resolve to back up my 12GB hard drive daily…well, once a week… okay, monthly then…or maybe…

Bob in Accounting

The company president called the chief security guard into his office.

“Chuck, we’ve received a complaint from one of the employees that you are making obscene sexual comments and putting your hands where they don’t belong. These unwanted advances will have to stop.”

Chuck looked down at his feet and mumbled, “I’m sorry, Sir. I won’t’ do it again.”

The company president said, “I’m sure Ms. Jones will be happy to hear that.” Chuck’s face lit up.

“Ms Jones?!!!! I was afraid that Bob in Accounting was complaining!!!!”

Blind Sports

A blind man was describing his favorite sport – parachuting. When asked how this was accomplished, he said that things were all done for him. �I am placed in the door and told when to jump. My hand is placed on my release ring for me, and out I go.� “But how do you know when you are going to land?” he was asked. “Well, I have a very keen sense of smell and I can smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet from the ground”, he answered. “But how do you know when to lift your legs for the final arrival on the ground?” he was again asked. He quickly answered, “Oh that? The dog’s leash goes slack!”

Restaurant Efficiency

I took some clients out to dinner last week, and I noticed a spoon in the shirt pocket of our waiter as he handed us the menus. It seemed a little odd, but I dismissed it as a random thing. Until our busboy came with water and tableware; he too, sported a spoon in his breast pocket. I looked around the room, and all the waiters and busboys had spoons in their pockets. When our waiter returned to take our order, I just had to ask, “Why the spoons?””Well,” he explained, “our parent company recently hired some Andersen Consulting efficiency experts to review all our procedures, and after months of statistical analyses, they concluded that our patrons drop spoons on the floor 73% more often than any other utensil, at a frequency of 3 spoons per hour per workstation. By preparing our workers for this contingency in advance, we can cut our trips to the kitchen down and save time… nearly 1.5 extra man-hours per shift.” Just as he concluded, a “ch-ching” came from the table behind him, and he quickly replaced the fallen spoon with the one from his pocket.”I’ll grab another spoon the next time I’m in the kitchen instead of making a special trip,” he proudly explained.I was impressed. “Thanks, I had to ask.””No problem,” he answered. Then he continued to take our orders. As the members of our dinner party took their turns, my eyes darted back and forth from each person ordering and my menu. That’s when, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a thin black thread protruding from our waiter’s fly. Again, I dismissed it; yet I had to scan the room and, sure enough, there were other waiters and busboys with strings hanging out of their trousers. My curiosity overrode discretion at this point, so before he could leave I had to ask. “Excuse me, but…uh…why, or what about that string?””Oh, yeah,” he began, in a quieter tone, “not many people are that observant. That same efficiency group found we could save time in the Men’s Room, too.””How’s that?” I asked.”You see, by tying a string to the end of our, uh, selves, we can pull it out at the urinals literally hands-free and thereby eliminate the need to wash our hands, cutting time spent in the washroom by over 93%!””Hey, wait a minute. If the string helps you pull it out, how do you get it back in?””Well,” he whispered, “I don’t know about the other guys, but I use the spoon.”

Satan

One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in the tiny town of Johnstown
got up early and went to the local church. Before the service started, the
townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking about their lives, their
families, etc. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone
started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a
frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate.
Soon everyone is evacuated from the church except for one elderly gentleman
who sat calmly in his pew, not moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that
God’s ultimate enemy is in his presence.

Now this confused Satan a bit, so he walked up to the man and said, “Hey!
Don’t you know who I am?”

The man replied, “Yep, sure do.”

Satan asked, “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“Nope, sure ain’t,” said the man.

Satan was a little perturbed at this and queried, “Why aren’t you afraid of
me?”

The man calmly replied, “I’ve been married to your sister for 25 years.”

DaddyLongLegs Misbeh

Little Lucy was playing in the garden when she spotted two spiders mating.”Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?” “They’re mating, Lucy” he replied. “What do you call the spider on top, Daddy?” Lucy asked. “Oh, that’s a Daddy Longlegs.” Lucy asked, “Oh, so one’s a Daddy Longlegs and the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?” Daddy replied, “No, both of them are Daddy Longlegs.” Lucy thought for a moment, then took her foot and stamped them flat.”Well, we’re not having THAT sort of thing in our garden!”
