Exercise
--------
I used to watch golf on TV but my doctor told me that I need more exercise,
so now I watch tennis.
Lost
----
A man is lost in the desert. He used up the last of his water three days
ago and he's lying, gasping, on the sand, when in the distance he suddenly
hears a voice calling "Mush! Mush!"
Not trusting his ears he turns his head and there it is again, closer this
time -- "Mush! Mush!"
Propping himself up on one elbow he squints against the sun and sees, of
all things, an Eskimo in a fur coat driving a sled with a team of huskies
across the dunes. Thinking that it's a hallucination, he blinks and shakes
his head, but it's for real! He painfully lifts one arm and in a cracked
voice calls, "He-elp!"
The Eskimo pulls the sled up by him, the huskies panting in the heat, and
he says to the Eskimo, "I don't know what you're doing here, or why, but
thank God you are! I've been wandering around this desert for days, my
water's all gone and I'm completely lost!"
The perspiring Eskimo looks down at him and says, "You think YOU'RE lost!"
Loan
----
King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with
the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the
most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Crosus,
the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Crosus said, "I'll give you 100,000
dinars for it." "But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested.
"Don't you know who I am? I am the King!"
Crosus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star... it makes no difference who
you are!"
