Those Politicians
Lord George Brown, when
the band struck up at an embassy function,
asked: "Beautiful lady in scarlet, will you waltz with me?"
"Certainly not," was the reply. "First, you are drunk. Secondly, it is
not a waltz, but the Venezuelan national anthem; and thirdly I am not a
beautiful lady in scarlet, but the papal nuncio." -- Newsgroups:

For non-British
and younger readers Lord George Brown was a cabinet minister in Harold
Wilson's government.

Customer Service Complaint
I wish I had the guts of this
girl. For all of you out there who've ever had to deal with an irate
customer, this one is for you. It's a classic! An award should go to
the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being smart and funny,
while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably
deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded United Airlines flight was
cancelled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced
travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He
slapped his ticket on the counter and said "I HAVE to be on this flight
and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied, "I am sorry, sir.
I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks
first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger
was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him
could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM"?
Without hesitating, the agent smiled
and grabbed her public address microphone, "May I have your attention
please," she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal.
"We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If
anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14."
With the folks behind him in line
laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his
teeth and swore "F*** You!". Without flinching, she smiled and said,
"I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too."

the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his is working fine."
Tech support, "how much free space
do you have on your hard drive?" Customer," Well, my wife likes to get
up there on the internet, and she downloaded 10 hours of free space. Is
that enough?"
Customer, "I would like a mouse mat,
please." Salesperson, "Certainly sir, we have a large variety."
Customer, "But will they be compatible with my computer?"
Customer, "Can you copy the internet
onto this disc for me?"
Customer, "So that will get me
connected to the internet, right?" Tech Support, "Yes." Customer, "And
that’s the latest version of the internet?"
Tech Support, "OK Bob, lets press
the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task
list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter P to bring up the
program manager." Customer, "I don't have a P." Tech Support, " On your
keyboard, Bob." Customer, "What do you mean?" Tech Support, "P on your

Several
men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench
rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to

Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes"
WOMAN: "I am at the mall now and

Man's five most feared questions:
1. What are you thinking
about?
2. Do you love me?
3. Do I look fat?
4. Do you think she is prettier than me?
5. What would you do if I died?
What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed
to
explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e.tells
the
truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analysed below
along with possible responses.
Question 1: What are you thinking
about?
The proper answer to
this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I have been a bit
pensive darling. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful,
thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to
have
met you."
This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which
most
likely is one of the following:
a. Nothing
b. Football
c. Jennifer Lopez
d. How fat you are
e. How would I spend the insurance money if you died
Or if you really wanted world war three you could say "If I wanted you
to
know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you."
Question 2: Do you love me?
The proper
response is: "YES" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is
necessary: "Yes, dear." Inappropriate responses include:
a. Oh yeah, loads.
b. Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
c. That depends on what you mean by love
d. Does it matter
e. Who, me?
Question 3: Do I look fat?
The correct answer
is an emphatic: "Of course not!!" Among the incorrect
answers are:
a. Compared to what?
b. I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.
c. A little extra weight looks good on you.
d. I've seen fatter.
e. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would
spend the insurance money if you died.
Question 4: Do you think
she is prettier than me?
Once again,
the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!!"
Incorrect
responses include:
a. Yes, but you have a better personality
b. Not prettier, but definitely thinner
c. Not as pretty as you when you were her age
d. Define "pretty"
e. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would
spend the insurance money if you died.
Question 5: What
would you do if I died?
A
definite no-win question. (The real answer of course is "Buy Ferrari
and a
boat".) No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour
of
follow-up questions, usually along these lines:
WOMAN: Would you get married again?
MAN: Definitely not!
WOMAN: Why not? Don't you like being married?
MAN: Of course I do.
WOMAN: Then why wouldn't you remarry?
MAN: Okay, I'd get married again.
WOMAN: You would? (with a hurt look on her face)
MAN: (makes audible groan)
WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
MAN: Where else would we sleep?
WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures and replace them with pictures of
her?
MAN: That would seem the proper thing to do.
WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
MAN: She can't. She's left-handed.

Pilots versus mechanics
After
every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which
conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during
the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and
correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of
the form what remedial action was taken, and the
pilotsreview the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be
said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor. Here are
some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by
Qantas
pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. By the way,
Qantas is the only major airline that has NEVER had an accident :
(P = The problem logged by the pilot.) (S = The solution and action
taken by the engineers.)
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute
descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for.
P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
I love this
one....
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget
pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

THE
PARTY
Tom had been in the liquor business for 25 years.
Finally sick of the stress he quits his job and buys 50 acres of land
in Alaska as far from humanity as possible. He sees the postman once a
week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and
quiet.
After
six months of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door.
He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing there. "Name's Lars,
your neighbor from forty miles up the road. Havin' a Christmas party
Friday night... thought ya might like to come about 5:00 P.M."
"Great", says Tom, "after six months out here I'm
ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
As
Lars is leaving, he stops, turns around and says: "Gotta warn
ya......thars gonna be some drinkin'."
"Not a problem" says Tom. "After 25 years in the
business, I can drink with the best of 'em."
Again,
the big man starts to leave and stops. "More'n likely gonna be
some fightin' too."
"Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right.
I'll be there, thanks again."
"More'n likely be some wild sex, too," "Now that's
really not a problem" says Tom, warming to the idea "I've been all
alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what
should I wear?"
"Don't much matter ..... Just gonna be the two of
us."

What's the difference between Iron Man and Iron Woman? One's a
superhero
and the other is an instruction.
A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking
behind my back. He says what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.
I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get
reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said I
would
like to come back as a cow. I said your obviously not listening.
Doctors have just identified a food that can cause grief and suffering
for
years after it's been eaten. It's called a wedding cake.

beer.
