I love well crafted jokes. And these I have collected are so crafted they appear to be short-short stories, with surprise endings.
John, fresh out of college with high grades in accounting courses, went for interview for a well-paying job. The interview went well, consisting of questions about both his background and his education. One final question was "What is three times seven?"
"22," quickly replied a surprised John. The interviewer sadly shook his head.
John, once outside the interview room, checked his calculator and frowned, knowing he wouldn't get the job.
But a week later he received a call telling him he was hired for the job. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, he joyfully accepted and said he would report for work the next day.
When he got to work the next day, he had to ask how he had gotten the job after getting such a simple question wrong.
His new boss shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Well, you were the closest!"
A very successful attorney parked his brand new Porsche Turbo in front of his office to show it off to colleagues. As he reached to open the door to embark a truck came barreling down the street, weaved toward the car and tore the door off.
Fortunately, a police cruiser saw the accident and pulled up behind the ravaged Porsche. Before the cop could ask a single question the lawyer was in his face screaming about his new Porsche being wrecked and the truck not even stopping. As he finally wound down, the cop held up a hand to stop the torrent .
"I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said, shaking his head. "You are so focused on your possessions that you don't think of the more important things "
"How can you say such a thing?" yelled the lawyer
"Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing, along with the door?" the cop answered in disbelief.
The lawyer glanced down and screamed, "Oh, my God! My Rolex!"
A big-shot businessman, who had to spend a couple days in the hospital, was a royal pain to the nurses. He bossed them around just as he did his employees. Only the head nurse could stand up to him. She walked into his room and told him she had to take his temperature. He grumbled and crossed his arms, but opened his mouth.
"Sorry," the nurse said. "But for this reading I can't use an oral thermometer."
He grumbled some more, but turned onto his stomach and bared his backside. After inserting the thermometer the nurse said, "I have to get something. You stay still until I get back."
She must have left the door open on her way out and he cursed under his breath as he heard people laughing as they passed by his door.
Eventually the doctor noticed the open door and came in. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Can't you tell when someone is having their temperature taken?" the patient growled.
After a pause, the doctor replied, "Yes, of course, but never with a daffodil!"
You DID smile, didn't you?)
