Once Bob and Billy got duty at the airport for the assistance to the foregin tourists.
One traveler asked Billy in Spanish, “Where can I find the city bus to downtown?”, but Billy could not answer since he did knew the language.
The traveller repeated the same question in French, German, Japnese, and Russian but Billy couldn`t answer because he didn`t know any of the languages.
Bob asks Billy, “I asked you to learn atleast one foreign language and it will help you one day.”
Billy said, “That man learned five languages and couldn`t serve any purpose, then how one language to me would have served any purpose.”
Two young engineers applied for a single position at a computer company.
They both had the same qualifications. In order to determine which individual to hire, the applicants were asked to take a test by the department manager.
Upon completion of the test, both men had each missed only one of the questions. The manager went to the first applicant and said, ‘‘Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the job to the other applicant.”
“And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct,” asked the rejected applicant.
“We have based our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed,” said the department manager.
“And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?” the rejected applicants inquired.
”Simple,” said the department manager, ”Your fellow applicant put down on question no.5, ‘I don’t know.’ You put down, ‘Neither do I.’
Jones came into the office an hour late for the third time in one week and found the boss waiting for him.
“What’s the story this time, Jones?” he asked sarcastically. “Let’s hear a good excuse for a change.”
Jones sighed, “Everything went wrong this morning, boss. My wife decided to drive me to the station. She got ready in ten minutes, but then the drawbridge got stuck. Rather than let you down, I swam across the river – look, my suit’s still damp – ran out to the airport, got a ride on Mr Thompson’s helicopter, landed on top of Radio City Music Hall, and was carried here piggyback by one of the Rockettes.”
“You’ll have to do better than that, Jones,” said the boss, obviously disappointed. “No woman can get ready in ten minutes.”
