JOB SECURITY
After being
laid off from five different jobs in four months, Arnold was hired by a
warehouse. One day he lost control of a forklift and drove it off the
loading
dock. Surveying the damage, the owner shook his head and said he'd have
to withhold ten percent of Arnold's wages to pay for the repairs. "How
much will it cost?" asked Arnold. "About $4,500," said the owner.
"What a relief!" exclaimed
Arnold. 'I've finally got job security!"

CARPENTERS
While building a house, Senator from
Connecticut had occasion to
employ a carpenter. One of the applicants was a plain Connecticut
Yankee,
without any frills.
"You thoroughly understand carpentry?" asked the senator.
"Yes, sir."
"You can make doors, windows, and blinds?"
"Oh, yes sir!"
"How would you make a Venetian blind?"
The man scratched his head and thought deeply for a few seconds. "I
should think, sir," he said finally, "about the best way would be to
punch
him in the eye." |
