The Job Applicants

A man was filling out a job application form.

Whe he came to the question, "Have you ever been arrested?" he wrote "No."

Not realising that the next question was only for people who answered "Yes", he wrote "Never been caught."

=======================================

A bank manager was interviewing candidates for a cashier's post, and was down to the last two people.

One was a nice young man, but a bit timid, so he calls for the second applicant, "Mr. Johnson!"

Up steps a burly young man who seems very sure of himself.
The bank manager thinks, 'he looks like he can take care of himself' and decides to hire him.

He says, "Now, Jim, I like the way you carry yourself. However, you did not fill out where you received your education. Where did you receive your financial education?" Jim replies, "Yale."

"Excellent," says the manager. "You're hired. Now that you're working for us, what would you prefer to be called?"

Jim says, "I don't care - Yim, or Mr Yohnson."

The Creation

In the beginning was the Plan
And then came the assumptions
And the assumptions were without form
And the Plan was completely without substance
And darkness was upon the faces of the workers

And they spake unto their Group Heads, and sayeth:
"It is a crock, and it stinketh!"

And the Group Heads went unto their Section Heads, and sayeth:
"It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof."

And the Section Heads went unto their Managers, and sayeth unto them:
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."

And the Managers went to their Director, and sayeth unto him:
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."

And the Director went unto his Vice-President, and sayeth:
"It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."

And the Vice-President went unto the President, and sayeth unto him:
"It promoteth growth, and it is very powerful."

And the President went unto the Chairman of the Board and sayeth unto him:
"This powerful new Plan will actively promote growth and the efficiency of the Company."

And the Chairman looked upon the Plan
And saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.

Billy Bob Wanted a Job...

Billy Bob wanted a job as a signalman on the railways. He was told to meet the inspector at the signal box.

The inspector asked, "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading for each other on the same track?"

Billy Bob replied, "I would switch the points for one of the trains."

"What if the lever broke?" asked the inspector.

"Then I'd dash down out of the signal box," said Billy Bob, "and I'd use the manual lever over there."

"What if that had been struck by lightning?"

"Then," Billy Bob continued, "I'd run back into the signal box and phone the next signal box."

"What if the phone was busy?"

"Well in that case," persevered Billy Bob, "I'd rush down out of the box and use the public emergency phone at the level crossing up there."

"What if that was vandalized?"

"Oh, well then I'd run into town and go get my Uncle Lester."

This puzzled the inspector, so he asked, "Why would you do that?"

Billy Bob answered, "Well, Uncle Lester ain't never seen a train wreck!"

Blind Pilots

One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up so they can get under way.
The pilot and co-pilot finally appear in the rear of the plane, and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be blind. The pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle, and the co-pilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with huge sunglasses. At first the passengers do not react; thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. However, after a few minutes the engines start spooling up and the airplane starts moving down the runway.

The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and looking desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance. Then the airplane starts accelerating rapidly and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical. Finally, when the airplane has less than 20 feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once, and at the very last moment the airplane lifts off and is airborne.

Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns to the Captain, "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to scream and we're gonna get killed!"

Speaking With The General

It was a dark, stormy, night. The marine was on his first assignment, and it was guard duty.

A general stepped out taking his dog for a walk. The nervous young private snapped to attention, made a perfect salute, and snapped out "Sir, good evening, sir!"

The general, out for some relaxation, returned the salute and said, "Good evening, soldier, nice night, isn't it?"

Well, it wasn't a nice night, but the private wasn't going to disagree with the general, so the he saluted again and replied, "Sir, yes sir!"

The general continued, "You know, there's something about a stormy night that I find soothing, it's really relaxing. Don't you agree?"

The private didn't agree, but then the private was just a private, and responded, "Sir, yes sir!"

The general, pointing at the dog, "This is a golden retriever, the best type of dog to train."

The private glanced at the dog, saluted yet again and said "Sir, yes sir!"

The general continued, "I got this dog for my wife."

The private simply said, "Good trade, Sir!"
