Tit for Tat

A boy bought a two-penny loaf at the backer's. It struck him that it was much smaller than ususal, so he said to the baker:"I don't believe the loaf is the right weight". "Oh, never mind", answered the baker, "you will have the less to carry".

"Quite right", said the boy and put three halfpence on the counter. Just as he was leaving the shop, the baker called out to him:"I say, Tommy! You haven't given me the price of the loaf!"

"Oh, never mind", answered the boy, you will have the less to count".

I Can't Help It

Two man are going in a train. One of them asks the other, "Are you going to Smith's lecture today?"

"Yes, I am," said the other.

"Take my advice and don't go", said the first, "I hear he is a very bad lecturer".

"I can't help it", said the other. "I must go, I'm Smith".

I can't help it - ничего не могу поделать

What a language!

First Frenchman: I once heard someone shout:"Look out!" I put my head out of the window and a bucketful of water fell on me. It seems that "look out" may mean "don't look out".

Second Frenchman: "I was once on a ship and heard the captain shout: "All hands on deck!" I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them.
Third Frenchman: "I once called early on an English friend and the maid who came to the door said: "He 's not up yet. Come in half an hour". When I went again for him, she said: "He's not down yet". I said: "If he is not up and he's not down, where is he?" She said: "He's still in bed. When I say "He's not up", I mean he has not yet got up, so he has not yet come downstairs".

Arthur Conan Doyle, the famouse author of detective stories, once came to Paris. He hired a cab at the railway station to go to the hotel.
"What hotel would you like to go to, Mr Conan Doyle?" asked the cabman. The writer was greatly surprised.
"How do you know my name?" he asked.
"Well, it's simple", the cabman said. "The other day I read in the newspapers that you would probably visit Paris. Then noticed that your suit was made of good English tweed".
'Wonderful!" said Conan Doyl. "You are a born detective!"
"Thank you, sir", the cabman replied. "But another fact also helped me to identify you".
"What is it? asked the writer.
"You see, your name is written on your luggage".

My First Day on the Job

 My First Day on the Job My first day of work at Fast Burger was one of the worst days of my life. First of all, I burned my hand when I was cooking French fries. I tried to put a Band-Aid on my hand, but I dropped it into the hot oil. Before I could say "Stop" another waiter had served the Band-Aid and the fries to a customer. The custoer got mad. My manager got mad, and I almost got fired. What an awful day this was!
