Observing the baby one night, a wife found her husband standing over their baby’s crib. Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions; disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment, scepticism.
Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, she slipped her arm around her husband. “A penny for your thoughts,” she said.
“It’s amazing!” he replied. “I just can’t see how anybody can make a crib like that for only $46.50.”
A husband and a wife lived in a cheap housing complex right next door to an older married couple.
Their chief complaint was that the walls were paper-thin and that they had no privacy. This was painfully obvious when one morning the husband was upstairs and the wife was downstairs on the telephone. She was interrupted by the doorbell and went to greet her neighbour.
“Give this to your husband,” the older husband said thrusting a roll of toilet paper into her hands. “He’s been yelling for it for 15 minutes!”
Two friends go on a fishing trip. They rent all of the equipment – the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car and even a cabin in the woods – and spend an absolute fortune. The first day they go fishing, but they don’t catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day and on the third day.
It goes on like this until, finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish. As they’re driving home they’re really depressed. One guy turns to the other and says: “Do you realise that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred bucks?”
The other guy says: “Wow! Then it’s a good thing we didn’t catch any more!”
