24 Hour Service
Needing some clothes cleaned in a hurry, a man searched the small
Georgia town in which he was visiting until he found a sign which
read: "Cleaning and Pressing, 24-Hour Service."
After explaining his needs, he said, "I'll be back for
my suit tomorrow."
"Won't be ready until Saturday," replied the proprietor.
"But I thought you had 24-hour service," the customer protested.
"We do, son," the proprietor said reproachfully. "But we only
work eight hours a day. Today's Thursday - eight hours today,
eight hours Friday, eight on Saturday. That's 24-hour service."

VIP Impression
My husband was once employed in the printing division of a large
manufacturing firm. One morning, word came from the top that some
visiting VIPs would be touring the plant in just a few minutes. All
production was immediately shut down as employees scrambled to
quickly tidy up the work place.
When the appointed lookout yelled, "Here they come!" fifty fingers
that were poised over fifty machine start-up buttons pressed down in
unison and blew every fuse in the building.

Angry Senator
A member of the Senate, known for his hot temper and acid tongue,
explodes one day in mid session and begins to shout, "Half of this
Senate is made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!"
All the other Senators plead to the angry member that he withdraw his
statement, or be removed from the remainder of the session. After a
long pause, the angry member accepted.
"Ok" he said, "I withdraw what I said. Now I will go on the record
and state that half of this Senate is NOT made up of cowards and
corrupt politicians!"
