A NEW PET
Once upon a time a man was lonely and decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted an unusual pet. He then bought a centipede, which came in a little white box. He took the box home and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink. So he asked him: "Would you like to go to Frank's Place and have a beer?" No answer. This bothered him a bit So a few minutes
later he again asked him: "How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?" Again... no answer. He asked him one more time: "Hey, would you like to go & have a drink with me?" A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you the first time. I'm just putting on my shoes."
3 TIMES 4
A little girl takes the elevator on her way to school. The girl hasn't finished her homework, as she is stuck with one of the questions. Next to her in the elevator there is a housewife, an accountant, and a lawyer. "Excuse me", she says, speaking to no one in particular. "Could anyone please tell me how much is 3 times 4?" "Why, twelve of course, little girl", answers the housewife, somewhat detachedly. She steps out at the next elevator stop muttering something about laundry and cooking. The girl seems no to be happy with the answer, so she looks at the accountant expectantly. He sighs, and tries to do some mental calculations. "I'm not sure", he finally offers, "might be 11.99 or 12.50. I need to run these numbers on my spreadsheet to make sure." Of course she is not happy with this answer either, so she turns to look at the lawyer. The lawyer smiles confidently at her, discreetly signaling her to wait. When the accountant finally steps out of the elevator, the lawyer kneels down to her and whispers, "how much
do you want it to be?"
