Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Service
An armed robber held up a convenience store. The quick-thinking store clerk asked if he could make a short call to his wife, and the robber agreed. Luckily, the woman at “911” who handled the call didn’t take offense at being called “Honey,” and dispatched a police squad to the store. In an interview with the media, the criminal was quoted as saying, “You just can’t trust anyone anymore.”

The boss has on his desk a toaster, a radio, a TV, a fan and a typewriter. He says to an attractive young lady applying for a secretarial job: “Before we can hire you, there is a little test: which one of those items is the typewriter?”
