One orator said, "I have discontinued long speeches on account of my
throat; several people have threatened to cut it."
A husband and wife had a human cannonball act in the circus. One day
the wife ran off with the lion tamer. The husband was extremely
dejected. The strong man asked him what he was going to do.
The husband answered, "This is a disaster. I don't know where I'm
going to find another woman of her caliber."
My 17-year-old niece asked me if she could use my name as a reference
on her resume', which she planned to submit to a local fast-food
restaurant. I agreed.
A few days later she called and told me to meet her at the restaurant
later that afternoon. When I asked her why, she replied, "The
manager wants me to come in for an interview, and she told me to
bring my references."
