Hard Day at Work

The businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his
chair before he dropped exhausted.

His sympathetic wife was right there with a tall cool drink and
a comforting word. “My, you look tired,” she said. “You must
have had a hard day today. What happened to make you so
exhausted?”

“It was terrible,” her husband said. “The computer broke down
and all of us had to do our own thinking.”

Super Jerk

Two men are sitting drinking at a bar at the top of the empire state building
when the first man turns to the other and says, “you know, last week i
discovered that if you jump from the top of this building, by the time you fall
to the 10th floor, the winds around the building are so intense that they carry
you around the building and back into the window.”

The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while wiping the bar.

The second guy says, “what are you a nut? there is no way that could happen.”

“No, it’s true,” said the first man, “let me prove it to you.”

He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony, and plummets to the street
below. when he passes the 10th floor, the high wind whips him around the
building and back into the 10th floor window and he takes the elevator back up
to the bar. he met the second man, who looked quite astonished.

“You know, i saw that with my own eyes, but that must have been a one time
fluke.”

“No, i’ll prove it again,” says the first man as he jumps. again just
as he is hurling toward the street, the 10th floor wind gently carries him
around the building and into the window.

Once upstairs he urges his fellow drinker to try it.

“Well, what the hell,” the second guy says, “it works, i’ll try it!”

He jumps over the balcony plunges downward, passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th
floors …and hits the sidewalk with a ‘splat.’

Back upstairs the bartender turns to the other drinker and says “you know,
superman, sometimes you can be a real a******.”

Lipstick

According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria,
BC recently was faced with a unique problem.

A number of grade 12 girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back.

Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.
She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
