Serious topics will resume Monday. For today, we celebrate a one business day reprieve of Tax Day with some fun to head in to your weekend.
I think I may have had this pair as employees once:
The new employee stood before the paper shredder looking confused. "Need some help?" a secretary asked. "Yes," he replied. "How does this thing work?" "Simple," she said, taking the fat report from his hand and feeding it into the shredder. "Thanks, but where do the copies come out?"
============================
Funny, yet believable:
When the office photo-copies began to look faint, the business owner called in a local repair service. The friendly technician after inspecting the equipment, informed him that the machine was in need of a good cleaning. The tech suggested that someone might try reading the operator’s manual and perform the job themselves, since it would cost $100.00, if he did the work. Pleasantly surprised by his candor, the owner asked, “Does your boss know you are discouraging business?” “Actually, my boss demands we explain this to all our customers. After people try first to fix things themselves, we end-up making much more money on repairs”
============================
The businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped exhausted.
His sympathetic wife was right there with a tall cool drink and a comforting word. "My, you look tired," she said. "You must have had a hardday today. What happened to make you so exhausted?"
"It was terrible," her husband said. "The computer crashed and all of us had to do our own thinking."
============================
And perfect for this time of year:
A business owner on his deathbed called his friend and said, “Bill, I want you to promise me that when I die, you will have my remains cremated.”
“And what,” his friend asked, “do you want me to do with your ashes?”
The owner said, “Just put them in an envelope and mail them to the Internal Revenue Service. Write on the envelope, ‘Now, you have everything.’”
