Dress the Part
Before my son could start going on job interviews, he needed to dress
the part. That, he decided, required a $500 suit.
"What!?" I answered, gagging at the price tag. "I've bought cars for $500!"
"That's why I want the $500 suit," he said. "So I don't have to drive
$500 cars."

Taxi Driver
Bernard Lind was retired, but took odd jobs to make a
little extra money. One of his jobs was a taxi driver.
The cab company had a sign posted in all their cars
saying, "Your driver is: ______"
Bernie always got a kick out of watching his rider's
reactions when they read, "Your driver is: B.LIND."

Humor in Uniform
When my best friend, James, came home on his first Army
leave, my little brother asked him what he did in the
service. "I do calisthenics, shoot guns, and follow orders,"
James replied.
Walking in town that day, James and I ran into a buddy who
also asked him what he did in the Army. James gave the same
reply: "I do calisthenics, shoot guns, and follow orders."
A while later, we met a former classmate, an attractive
woman, and she asked the same question. This time, James
said, "I'm studying communications, learning foreign
languages, and traveling around the world."
