Something Funny

19 years ago

A friend of mine sent this to me. I really laughed.

You can guess who sent it.

Five best things to say if you're caught sleeping at your desk:

5. They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen."

4. "This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time management course you sent me to."

3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time."

2. "Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?"

AND THE NUMBER ONE BEST THING TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK:

1. Raise your head slowly and say "...in Jesus' name. Amen."

    I wish you could hear my chuckle! I have coworkers that sleep at their desk on the weekend...I stay awake so that I can nudge them when they get a call ;-)
    (and feel superior because I'm awake).

    Ahh, desk-job and office-job survival skillz...! I remember the day...nah, never worked a day in my life!

    I would never use #3, but I could get away with 5, 2 or 1.

    The following might apply to some guys with the "office at home:"

    > A HUSBAND IS AT HOME WATCHING A FOOTBALL GAME WHEN HIS WIFE INTERRUPTS, "HONEY, COULD YOU FIX THE LIGHT IN THE HALLWAY? IT'S BEEN FLICKERING FOR WEEKS NOW."
    >
    >HE LOOK AT HER AND SAYS ANGRILY, "FIX THE LIGHTS NOW? DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE GE WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD? I DON'T THINK SO."
    >
    >"FINE," THEN THE WIFE ASKS, "WELL THEN, COULD YOU FIX THE FRIDGE DOOR? IT WON'T CLOSE RIGHT."
    >
    >TO WHICH HE REPLIED, "FIX THE FRIDGE DOOR?" "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE WESTINGHOUSE WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD? I DON'T THINK SO."
    >
    >"FINE," SHE SAYS, "THEN YOU COULD AT LEAST FIX THE STEPS TO THE FRONT DOOR? THEY ARE ABOUT TO BREAK."
    >
    >"I'M NOT A DA_N CARPENTER AND I DON'T WANT TO FIX STEPS." HE SAYS, "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE ACE HARDWARE WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD? I DON'T THINK SO. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU. I'M GOING TO THE BAR !!!!"
    >
    >SO HE GOES TO THE BAR AND DRINKS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.................................... HE STARTS TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT HOW HE TREATED HIS WIFE, AND DECIDES TO GO HOME. AS HE WALKS INTO THE HOUSE HE NOTICES THAT THE STEPS ARE ALREADY FIXED. AS HE ENTERS THE HOUSE, HE SEES THE HALL LIGHT IS WORKING. AS HE GOES TO GET A BEER, HE NOTICES THE FRIDGE DOOR IS FIXED.
    >
    >"HONEY," HE ASKS, "HOW'D ALL THIS GET FIXED?"
    >
    >SHE SAID, "WELL, WHEN YOU LEFT I SAT OUTSIDE AND CRIED. JUST THEN A NICE YOUNG MAN ASKED ME, "WHAT'S WRONG?" I TOLD HIM. HE OFFERED TO DO ALL THE REPAIRS, AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS EITHER GO TO BED WITH HIM OR BAKE A CAKE."
    >
    >HE SAID, "SO WHAT KIND OF CAKE DID YOU BAKE?"
    >
    >SHE REPLIED, "HELLOOOOO....DO YOU SEE BETTY CROCKER WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD? I DON'T THINK SO!"

    That's funny!

    Here's another one. Carrie sent it to me.

    A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New
    England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited. One
    Sunday
    morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk.
    After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a
    double-dip chocolate ice cream cone. She hopped in the car, drove to
    the
    center of the village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice
    cream parlor. There was only one other patron in the store: Paul
    Newman,
    sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.
    The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those
    famous baby-blue eyes. The actor nodded graciously and the
    star-struck
    woman smiled demurely.
    Pull yourself together, she chided herself. You're a happily married
    woman with three children; you're forty-five years old, not a
    teenager!


    The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate
    ice-cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went
    out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.
    When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of
    change - but her other hand was empty. Where's my ice cream cone?
    Did I leave it in the store?
    Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the
    clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something. But no ice
    cream cone was in sight. With that, she happened to look over at Paul
    Newman. His face broke into his familiar warm, friendly grin and he
    said to the woman, "You put it in your purse."

    Those are funny.

    I heard the other day on the radio that it was Paul Newman's 82nd birthday! Can you believe it?!

    I like to remember Paul back when he played in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

    Gosh, 82!!!

  • 19 years ago

    No way!!! OMG I feel old all of a sudden!PJ

  • 19 years ago

    Oh, I just loved Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Those two were the best looking guys ever in my opinion, . . .well next to my DH! HA! Paul has aged very well, but Robert hasn't aged so well. But they are still good looking men.

  • 19 years ago

    Yep. I just looked him up in IMDB (a fun website, if you like movies and stuff), and he was born January 26, 1925. He's still one of the coolest actors out there!

    He still has the sexiest eyes I have EVER seen !!!!

  • 19 years ago

    Paul Newman, age 82?! He's closer to my mom's age than to mine?! Never would've known...

    I have a close relative who used to be mistaken for a "young" PN - who is now in his 60s. Very similar eyes. Those eyes can work for more than sex appeal to women. They're good for a "power stare" when two guys face off over something. The other guy always blinked first. I should know; a few times, I was the other guy.

    OK, new one...

    Patent protection on Viagra's formulation has expired. So the chemical composition has finally been made public:
    (Others might have posted other numbers elsewhere, but THIS is the REAL story)

    - 3 percent Acetominophen
    - 4 percent aspirin
    - 7 percent Vitamin E
    - 86 percent Fix-A-Flat
