two jokes

Aug 08, 2007 10:25

Last week I stood in line at a store. There was some snag with the customer at the register, and so I resigned myself to a longer-than-usual wait. The man behind me saw me craning my neck and laughed, and I explained that I was looking for the sign that sometimes stood around the corner with some jokes written on it.

"Do you have a joke?" I asked. ( Read more... )

procrastination, silly, creative

The first one actually happened to me w/ my roommate in grad school, jethereal. We picked each other to live w/ b/c we were friendly in a class, and he was the only one who'd consent to living with a bird (they can't be housebroken). The first weekend we'd been living in our apartment, we decided to clean up the mess we'd made, so we each picked chores to do. I picked taking out the garbage, and he picked sweeping the floors. A few minutes later we each started bitching to each other about how much we haded doing it - garbage is stinky, I told him. Sweeping is tedious he told me. And we suddenly realized we'd each picked the job we liked least trying to be nice to the other, and as a result neither of us were happy! We swapped on the spot, and from then on did the most appropriate chore for ourselves.

Moral: Don't assume others have the same likes and dislikes, so ask someone how to best make them happy.

At least you figured it out soon!

Hope your sweet bird is doing well. It must miss you so!

Hehe -- love your name, "fauna" ;) .

How 'bout this:

Intelligent Design Proponent: Behold the banana as an example of God's perfect love for us! Easy-carry shape, hand-peel-able skin, bite-sized diameter -- how can anyone doubt the intelligence of this design!

Evolutionist: What was He thinking when He made the pineapple?

i love it! throw in something related to human evolution and it could be borderline raunchy ;-)

well, on second thought, maybe not... depends on who you're chatting with :)
