Two
sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In
order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to
purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. The brunette
balances their checkbook, then takes their last $600 dollars out west to
another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale.
Upon leaving, she tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to
buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home."
The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides
she does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599,
no less.
After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a
telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office, and
says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've
bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our
pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then
adds, "It's just 99 cents a word."
Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She
realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word. After
thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her
the word, 'comfortable.'"
The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know
that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive
out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word,
'comfortable'?"
The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde, she'll read it very slow." |

A Blonde was down on her luck. In order
to raise some money, she decided to kidnap a kid and hold him for
ransom.
She went to the playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree, and
told him, "I've kidnapped you."
She then wrote a note saying, "I've kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow
morning, put $10,000 in a paper bag and put it under the pecan tree next
to the slide on the north side of the playground. Signed, A Blonde."
The Blonde then pinned the note to the kid's shirt and sent him home to
show it to his parents.
The next morning the blonde checked, and sure enough, a paper bag was
sitting beneath the pecan tree.
The Blonde opened the bag and found the $10,000 with a note that said,
"How could you do this to a fellow Blonde?"

Reaching the end
of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer
fresh out of Texas A&M, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The Engineer
said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits
package."
The
interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks
vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, a company matching
retirement fund for 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every 2
years -- say, a red Corvette?"
The Engineer
sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
And the
interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it." |

Walking up to a
department store's fabric counter, the pretty girl said, "I would like
to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?"
"Only one
kiss per yard," replied the male clerk with a smirk.
"That's
fine," said the girl. "I'll take ten yards."
With
expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk
quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, then teasingly held it
out.
The girl snapped up the package, pointed to the old geezer standing
beside her, and smiled, "Grandpa will pay the bill."

Two confirmed
bachelors sat talking, their conversation drifted from politics to
cooking.
"I got a
cookbook once," said one, "but I could never do anything with it."
"Too much
fancy work in it, eh?" asked the other.
"You said
it. Every one of the recipes began the same way - 'Take a clean dish." |

Humor:
Professional Test
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and
tells whether you are qualified to be a
"professional". Scroll down for the answers after
you have thought about it. The questions are not
that difficult.
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in
the giraffe and close the door. This question tests
whether you tend to do simple things in an overly
complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator ?
Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the
elephant and close the refrigerator.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the
giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door.
This tests your ability to think through the
repercussions of your actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference,
all the animals attend except one. Which animal does
not attend?
Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the
refrigerator. This tests your memory.
OK, even if you did not answer the first three
questions, correctly you still have one more chance
to show your abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross. But it is
inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles
are attending the animal meeting. This tests whether
you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around
90% of the professionals they tested got all
questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several
correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this
conclusively disproves the theory that most
professionals have the brains of a four year old.

While attending a convention, three
psychiatrists take a walk.
"People are always coming to us with their guilt and fears, "one says,
"but we have no one to go to with our own problems."
"Since we're all professionals," another suggests, "why don't we hear
each other out right now?"
They agreed this is a good idea.
The first psychiatrist confesses, "I'm a compulsive shopper and deeply
in debt, so I usually over bill my patients as often as I can."
The second admits, "I have a drug problem that's out of control, and I
frequently pressure my patients into buying illegal drugs for me."
The third psychiatrist says, "I know it's wrong, but no matter how hard
I try, I just can't keep a secret."
