A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood.
The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour hanging the washing outside.
“That laundry is not very clean,” she said. “She doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.” Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbour would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: “Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?”
The husband said: “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.”
Two accountants were returning home from a client meeting. They took the cheapest seats on the plane so they each were occupying the centre seat on opposite sides of the aisle. They continued their discussion of the knotty tax problem that had been the subject of their client meeting through takeoff and meal service.
Finally, one of the passengers in an aisle seat offered to trade places so they could talk and he could sleep.
After switching seats, one accountant said to the other: “That was the first time a tax discussion ever kept anyone awake.”
A group of hikers were being led through the wilderness by a guide. On the third day, the hikers noticed that they had been travelling in circles.
“We’re lost,” one of the men complained. “I thought you said you were the best guide in the United States.”
“I am,” the guide answered. “But I think we may have wandered into Canada.”
