Three funny stories that have happened around me lately:
1. One of our service technicians is down in TX right now installing a new machine. I book all the travel, and I booked him a 12 night stay in a hotel (about how long it takes to install a machine). He'd been there 5 nights as of Saturday. He'd spent all day on Saturday working installing the machine and comes back to the hotel to find it boarded up. He was allowed in and to his room to get his stuff but he had to be escorted and he only had 5 minutes. He found out while he was cleaning out his room that the bank had foreclosed the mortgage and was shutting the hotel down!!! At least he has a sense of humour about it!! He went down the road and checked into a Ramada. The good news is that I called the hotel and found out that according to their computers "he cancelled the reservation March 1st". So, before he even checked in which was basically their way of telling me the stay will be free of charge. I can dig it!!
2. Had my last sewing class last night. One of the big steps we did was to put the elastic waist in the pajama pants. In order to do this, the teacher helps you measure the elastic around your waist. Everyone kept trying to make their elastic bigger and she kept yanking it tighter insisting that your pants would fall down otherwise. When it came up to one girl, the girl won and was able to keep the elastic longer. The teacher said "Don't say I didn't tell you so when your pants are falling down...or are you planning to gain a ton of weight in the near future?" the girl replied with "actually, I am. I just found out this morning that I'm pregnant!!" The whole class had a moment and congratulated her and got gushy. It was really cool!! :)
3. This is a joke I heard on the radio the other morning. I probably won't do it justice, but I'm going to try anyway:
There was a 6 year old boy and a 4 year old boy who were brothers. They were up in their room early one morning and the 6 year old says to his brother:
"You know, I think it's about time we started swearing"
The 4 year old agreed.
The 6 year old said:
"When we go downstairs this morning, I'll say the word hell in a sentence and you say the word damn, okay?"
The 4 year old agreed again and they went downstairs to breakfast together.
The mother says:
"So boys, what would you like for breakfast this morning?"
The 6 year old replies:
"Aw hell ma, I don't know. How about some Cheerios?"
The mother looked shocked and smacked the kid upside the head and chased him all the way up the stairs spanking his bottom as she went. She slammed his bedroom door and yelled:
"...and you can stay in there until I say you can come out!!!"
She came back downstairs and asked the 4 year old boy:
"...and what would you like for breakfast young man?"
( And the little boy replied: )
I crack me up.
