A Nutty Game

A doctor at an (insane) asylum decided to take his inmates to a baseball game. For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands. When the day of the game arrived, everything seemed to be going well. As the national anthem started, the doctor yelled, ”Up nuts!” And the inmates complied by standing up. After the anthem he yelled, ”Down nuts!” And they all sat. After a home run he yelled, ”Cheer nuts!” And they all broke into applause and cheers. Thinking things were going very well, he decided to go get a beer and a hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned there was a riot in progress. Finding his assistant, he asked what happened. The assistant replied, ”Well…everything was fine until some guy walked by and yelled, ”PEANUTS!”

Hot air

A man flying in a hot air balloon realizes he is lost. Spotting a man down below, he reduces height and shouts: ‘Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?’ The man below says: ‘Yes. You’re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field.’ ‘You must work in engineering!’ says the balloonist. ‘I do,’ replies the man. ‘How did you know?”Because,’ says the balloonist, ‘everything you have told me is technically correct, but it’s of no use to anyone.”You, my friend,’ says the man below, ‘must work in management.”I do’ replies the balloonist, ‘but how did you know?”Because,’ says the man below, ‘you don’t know where you are or where you’re going, but you expect me to be able to help.

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.
