When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

After interviewing a candidate for an open position, I got a thank-you e-mail, stating, “It was a pressure meeting you.”

Phlebotomist: I’m here to draw some blood.
Patient: But I just received blood yesterday.
Phlebotomist: You didn’t think you’d get to keep it, did you?

There was a period when our company’s ownership was constantly changing hands, resulting in a new name for the business each time. After the latest regime and name change, I said, “We’re going to need a new company sign out front.”
A colleague said, “We don’t need a new sign; we need a blackboard.”

As a flight attendant, I wear a watch with two faces: one set for the time in our departure city, and the other set for our destination city. One day, a passenger asked me for the time. Looking at my watch, I told her, “It’s 9:41 in Chicago and 5:41 in Honolulu.”
Intrigued, she asked, “Is the watch available for other cities?”

A client walked into my design studio with a black-and-white flyer.
Client: Can you make a color copy?
Me: Do you have the original?
Client: No. Just this one.
Me: Sorry, I can’t make color copies unless I have the original color version.
Client (confused): Why can’t you just run it through the color copier?

My husband and I couldn’t decide which jacket to buy our granddaughter, so we asked the young salesman.
“If you were buying a jacket for your girlfriend,” I said, “what would you get?”
“A bulletproof one,” he said. “I’m married.”

My seatmate on a flight was a woman. Ever the charmer, I asked, “Does the airline charge you extra for sitting next to good-looking men?”
“Yes,” she said, “but I wasn’t willing to pay.”

As the music swelled during a recent wedding reception, my hopelessly romantic husband squeezed my hand, leaned in, and said, “You are better looking than half the women here.”

A man walks into a barbershop and asks, “How much for a haircut?”
“Twelve dollars,” says the barber.
“And for a shave?”
“Ten dollars.”
“All right,” says the man, settling into the barber chair. “Shave my head.”

A doctor sent this note to our medical clinic: “Patient needs a
referral for your office from me. I saw her for her ankle and would like you to run over it.”

These office drones know exactly what you’re thinking at work:
• No one likes hearing “agree to disagree.” Why don’t we just say, “You’re wrong, but I don’t feel like fighting about it right now”?
• Sorry, I don’t listen to lectures on being organized from people with 60 icons on their laptop’s desktop.
• Answers to questions asked on the way to the bathroom are not
legally binding. People will agree to anything in that situation.

Good morning everyboomie.
Hope you're not afraid of heights because it's Hump Day.
I just hope the temperature doesn't go up with the hump.
Not sure how hot we got today, but it was 97 degrees at 4:00.
I had to run to Walmart again this morning, then after I got home I rushed out to do some more mowing. Again soaking wet when I got back inside.
After I cooled off in the refrigerator I started exercising. I ate a sandwich while I was in the refrigerator.
After I exercised I sat and watched TV while hooked up to oxygen.
Wednesday I don't have anywhere to go. I'm searching Google Earth for new places to hunt, but even at the creeks it's still too hot.
I guess I'll have to exercise some different muscles Wednesday. I may need to refill my oxygen tank first.
You would think just going over the hump would count as exercise.
Have a happy day everyone.
