Laundry problem






Mrs. Thurston stormed into the A-1 Laundry and demanded to see the owner. Mr. Fulton appeared from behind a curtain.

 "I'm the owner," he said. "Do you have a complaint?"

 "A complaint?" echoed the upset customer. "
"
You have the nerve to call yourself an A-1 cleaner?"

She threw something accross the counter.  

"Just take a look at a sample of your work!"

 Fulton picked up the object and studied it.
"Lady, there's not a thing wrong with this lace," he pronounced.

 "Lace!" Mrs. Thurston screamed. 

"When I brought it in to be cleaned it was a sheet!"(oh,ohh!)

The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

And then the fight started..

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started... *********** My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale. And then the fight started... *********** My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion. I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, ' Do you know her?' 'Yes, ' I sighed, ' She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, ' who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started... ********* I took my wife to a restaurant. T...

Addition

Peter's wife bought a new line of expensive cosmetics when she heard that they would make her look years younger. After applying the products, she asked her husband: "Darling, tell me honestly. What age would you say I am?" Looking her over carefully, Peter replied: "Let me see. Judging by your skin, 20; your hair 18; and your figure, 25." "Oh you flatterer, she gushed in delight." "No wait, Peter replied. I have not added them up yet!" (Source: Reader's Digest, Vol.81.No.482, May 2003 edition)
