An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site.
The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping."
To the Scotsman he says, "You're in charge of shovelling."
And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of the supplies."
He then says, "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that there pile."
So the foreman goes away for a couple hours and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched.
He asks the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?"
The Italian replies, "I no hava no broom. You saida to the Chinese a fella that he a wasa in a charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere."
Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, "And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile."
The Scotsman replies, "Aye, ye did lad, boot ah couldnay get meself a shoovel! Ye left th' Chinese gadgie in chairge of supplies, boot ah couldnay fin' him either."
The foreman is really angry now and storms off toward the pile of sand to look for the Chinese guy ...
Just then, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the pile of sand and yells . . . . . .
"SUPPLIES!"

A couple of young glow worm chicks decide to check out the new nightspot...
... ‘The Buzz’. They're told it’s hot, and they like action. The bouncers, a couple of stagbeetles, wave them in, and they find themselves a table and look round. A passing butterfly fills their bowls with an eerily glowing nectar, and they begin to enjoy
themselves. The cricket band is making real good noise, the floor is packed with jumpers, they wave to a couple of friends, when suddenly a hush falls over everything.
A drum roll, and there, slowly making their way across the floor are a couple of the most outrageous things they have ever seen. Wings painted in black and gold, bristles in shocking red, black and gold threads through their antennae, they look weird.
"Oh my god," says one glow worm. "That’s awful. Who do they think they are?"
"Take no notice, love," replies the other. "They’re just a couple of goth moth."

An Employee went to see his boss to ask for a raise Employee: Excuse me sir, may I talk to you?
Boss: Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?
Employee: Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years.
Boss: Yes.
Employee: I won't beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have four companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first.
Boss: A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time.
Employee: I understand your position, and I know that the current economic downturn has had a negative impact on sales, but you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade.
Boss: Taking into account these factors, and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time. How does that sound?
Employee: Great! It's a deal! Thank you, sir!
Boss: Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?
Employee: Oh, the Electric Company, Gas Company, Water Company and the Mortgage Company!

Jimmy: 'Hey, Mike! How's your new pet fish doing?
You told me he was really something special.'
Mike: 'To tell the truth, I'm really disappointed in him. The guy who sold him to me said I could teach him to sing like a bird.'
Jimmy: 'What? Let me get this straight... You bought a fish because you thought you could teach him to sing like a bird?'
Mike: 'Well, yeah. After all, you know, he's a parrot fish.'
Jimmy: 'Now listen, Mike, while you might be able to teach a parrot to sing, you're never going to get anywhere with a parrot fish.'
Mike: 'That's what you think! It just so happens this fish CAN sing. The thing is, he's terribly off-key and it's driving me crazy. Do you know how hard it is to tuna fish?'

How To Know that Your New Neighbors Are Weird
- They hold séances at 3 am every evening, naked in their living room.
- Neighbors used to borrow a cup of sugar from you. Now they tap into your phone hookup on the pole behind your house.
- They use your driveway for their overflow parking.
- Say, those aren't ghosts running in circles in their back yard. Those ghosts have hoods on them.
- They are using jackhammers at 2 am to add a lower floor to their basement. Of course you can hear that.
- The whole family comes to your house to say "hi!" dressed in black leather and spiked hair--even the cat.
- The police come to the house and are in full riot gear. That's just to try to pick up the dog for eating two hamsters from the kids down the street.
- You notice that in their mail is a subscription to "Druid Monthly".
- They always never bathe, they took their bathrooms out of the house, and installed twin outhouses in the corner of the yard right next to your in-ground
swimming pool. The old bathrooms were turned into "rooms for the dear departed", filled with strange colored urns with a powdery substance inside (Is that the remains of their Uncle Pronekio?).
- 1The wife was expecting, and the doctor once called her 9 months repugnant.

The Committee for the Reduction of Redundancy and the Antiproliferation of Repetition...
.... has decided not to meet until they have their first meeting and thus will not be meeting until the first time.
Their Pre-meeting Statement wanted to make this clear before they had their first meeting, so that it would not be confusing.
So their first meeting will actually be their first meeting and they will not have a meeting before the first meeting.
This should avoid having people show up for their first meeting before it is held, since to do so would be confusing to those who did so and this is what they want to avoid by reducing the
confusion and lessening the repetition.

A life-long city man, tired of the rat race...
... decided he was going to give up the urban life, move to the country, and become a chicken farmer. He bought a nice, used chicken farm and moved in. As it turned out, his
next-door neighbor was also a chicken farmer. The neighbor came for a visit one day and said, "Chicken farming ain’t easy. Tell you what. To help you get started, I’ll give you 100 chickens."
The new chicken farmer was thrilled. Two weeks later, the neighbor dropped by to see how things were going. The new farmer said, "Not too well. All 100 chickens died." The
neighbor said, "Oh, I can’t believe that. I’ve never had any trouble with my chickens. I’ll give you 100 more."
Another two weeks went by and the neighbor stopped by again. The new farmer said, "You’re not going to believe this, but the second 100 chickens died, too."
Astounded, the neighbor asked, "What went wrong?"
The new farmer said, "Well, I’m not sure whether I’m planting them too deep or too close together."

A young boy, about eight years old was... ... picking out a pretty good size box of laundry detergent.
The grocer walked over, and, trying to be friendly, asked the boy if he had a lot of laundry to do.
"Oh, no laundry," the boy said, "I'm going to wash my dog."
"But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog. It's very powerful and if you wash your dog in this, he'll get sick. In fact, it might even kill him."
But the boy was not to be stopped and carried the detergent to the counter and paid for it, even as the grocer still tried to talk him out of washing his dog.
About a week later the boy was back in the store to buy some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog was doing.
"Oh, he died," the boy said.
The grocer, trying not to be an I-told-you-so, said he was sorry the dog died but added, "I tried to tell you not to use that detergent on your dog."
"Well," the boy replied, "I don't think it was the detergent that killed him."
"Oh? What was it then?"
"I think it was the spin cycle!"

The Ambitious Cornflake. Forrest: Once there was a cornflake. It sat in the bottom of a box of cornflakes on a shelf in the grocery store. But this was an ambitious cornflake; it wanted to be the top cornflake in the box. So it started to climb. It pushed and struggled
and fought its way past the other cornflakes, one by one. It was halfway up in the box when someone...
Helmut (pointing): Greta?
Forrest: ...when Greta here came along and picked up the cornflakes box. She wanted to see if the box was full, so she gave it a good shake. The ambitious little cornflake fell all the way back down to the bottom of the box! But it didn't give up. It climbed and climbed and climbed, and was almost all the way to the
top when Greta, who'd decided to buy the box --
Greta: Hey! I don't even like cornflakes!
Forrest: ...when Greta slammed the box down on the checkout counter at the store. The cornflake fell all the way back down to the bottom of the box. But it still didn't give up! It climbed and climbed and climbed and climbed and --
Greta: Get on with it.
Forrest: And finally was just about to reach the very top of the box, when Greta poured it out into a bowl and ate it.
Greta: Good riddance. Can we --
Forrest: But it was reincarnated! As a Wheatie. Now, this Wheatie lived at the bottom of a box of Wheaties®, on a shelf in a supermarket. And it was a very ambitious Wheatie. Its one dream was to get to the top of the box of Wheaties. So it climbed and climbed and climbed and was almost halfway to the top when Helmut
came along and knocked the box off the shelf.
Greta: Meanie.
Forrest: And the ambitious little Wheatie fell down to the bottom of the box. But that didn't stop it. It just started climbing again. [...more of the same elided...] And it was just about to reach the top of the box when Helmut reached in and pulled it out and ate it.
Helmut: Yum.

| There was this haunted house on the outskirts of the town... ... which was avoided by all the town folk - the ghost which `lived' there was feared by all.
However, an enterprising journalist decided to get the scoop of the day by photographing the fearsome phantom. When he entered the house, armed with only his camera, the ghost descended upon him, clanking chains et al. He told the ghost "I mean no harm - I just want your photograph". The ghost was quite happy at this
chance to make the headlines - he posed for a number of ghostly shots.
The happy journalist rushed back to his dark room, and began developing the photos. Unfortunately, they turned out to be black and underexposed.
So what's the moral of the story?
The spirit was willing but the flash was weak.
