A man was sitting in a plane when another man sat down in the seat beside him. The new fellow was a wreck, pale, hands shaking, biting his nails and moaning in fear.
"Hey, pal, what's the matter?" the first fellow asked.
"I've been transferred to Los Angeles, California," he answered nervously. "They have riots, drugs, the highest crime rate in the country ... "
"Wait a minute," the first fellow said. "I've lived in L.A. all my life and I can assure you it's nowhere near as bad as the media reports. Find yourself a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, enroll your kids in a good school and it's as safe as anywhere in the world."
The second fellow stopped shaking for a moment and replied, "Thank God. I was worried to death! If you live there and say it's all right, I'll take your word for it. By the way, what do you do for a living?"
"Me?" replied the first fellow. "I'm tail gunner on a bread truck."

TRUE STORY
My first job was working in an office at my cubicle. Unfortunately, they put me on the floor with a bunch of pranksters.
While I was doing my work, I saw one a co-worker with a funnel down his pants, trying to catch a coin with it, for fun. He would throw the coin in the air, and then catch it with the funnel. I found this very interesting, so when it was lunch break, I asked them if I could try it. The co-worker handed me a funnel and coin, and told me to put the funnel down my pants, and down my underpants if I wanted.
I put it down my pants, and started playing. I caught the coin a couple of times, and I continued for a while. The co-worker left to get cold water to drink, and when he came back to me, he accidentally tripped and fell, purposely putting the cup into the funnel, which travelled down to my underwear. He began laughing really hard, because my it looked like I'd peed myself.
I had to work like that for the rest of the day, and everyone got their little laugh throughout that time.
