"Did you check to see
whether the power was on?"
"Of course."
DED: "Did you open
the cover and check whether any of the boards had
shaken loose in
shipping?"
"Of course."
DED: Then why are you
calling (synonyms of word calling above)
me?"
"Well, you sold it to me and there has to be some kind of
warranty,"
pleaded the frustrated purchaser.
"Of course there
is," replied the DED, "But you voided the warranty
when you opened
the cover."

flying from San
Francisco to LA.
Unexpectedly the plane stopped in Sacramento along
the way. The flight
attendant explained that there would be a
delay, and if the passengers
wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane
would re-board in 30 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except one
gentleman who was blind. Mr.
Smith had noticed him as he walked by
and could tell the blind man had
flown before because his Seeing
Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats
in front of him throughout
the entire flight.
Mr. Smith could also tell he had flown this
very flight before because
the pilot approached him, and
calling (synonyms of word calling above) him
by name, said Keith, we're
in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would
you like to get off and stretch
your legs?"
Keith replied,
"No thanks, but maybe the dog would like to stretch his
legs".
Now, picture this: All the people in the gate area came to
a complete
quiet standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot
walk off the
plane with the Seeing Eye dog!
The pilot was
even wearing sunglasses.
People scattered. They not only tried
to change planes, but they were
trying to change airlines!

Rocky's first night in the
penitentiary. All of the inmates were in
their cells and he was trying to
become a bit more comfortable with his
meager surroundings. As he
leaned against the bars at the front of his
cell, Rocky heard a voice
call out "44" and the whole cell block
erupted
into laughter!
Another voice called "16" and again there was
laughter. A
third
voice called "62" which was followed by laughter throughout the
block.
Rocky didn't know what was going on so he rapped on his cell
wall.
"Yeah, whaddaya want?" came the gruff reply from next
door.
"What's going on, here?" asked Rocky.
"Well," said the
other inmate, "down in the prison library there's
only one
joke
book. We've all read the book so many times that we don't waste
time
telling the joke, we just call out it's number."
So the
next day Rocky went down to the library and, sure enough, found
r
the
yellowed, dog-eared joke book and read it from cover to
cover. That
night,
wanting to be part of the group, Rocky
confidently called out "44"
and
everyone laughed! He tried
calling (synonyms of word calling above) "16"
and "62" and again there
were peals
of laughter. Then he called
57, and the halls rang with laughter.
After several minutes, one
prisoner was still rolling on the floor
laughing.
More minutes -
still laughing. Rocky rapped on the cell wall. "Yeah,
waddaya want?"
asked the other inmate.
"I don't understand it," asked Rocky,
"Why is Bill still
laughing?"
"Well," said the gruff inmate,
"He never heard that one
before!"
