Winter
------
We purchased an old home in Northern New York State from two elderly
sisters. Winter was fast approaching and I was concerned about the house's
lack of insulation. "If they could live here all those years, so can we!"
my husband confidently declared.
One November night the temperature plunged to below zero, and we woke up to
find interior walls covered with frost. My husband called the sisters to
ask how they had kept the house warm. After a rather brief conversation,
he hung up.
"For the past 30 years," he muttered, "they've gone to Florida for the
winter."
Switch
------
Our company offers a bonus award for employee ideas that improve safety,
quality or performance. A co-worker noticed there was a power switch
suspended 16 feet over our machinery. He suggested that a chain be attached
to the switch, allowing it to be pulled for quick shut-off in an emergency.
The suggestion went through channels and was rejected. One reason given was
that "the chain might be pushed up one day, accidentally turning the power
switch on."
Secret
------
Jill complained to Nina, "Rosey told me that you told her the secret I told
you not to tell her."
"Well," replied Nina in a hurt tone, "I told her not to tell you I told
her."
"Oh dear!" sighed Jill. "Well, don't tell her I told you that she told me."
