=============================
.
One September, the four deserted ladies decided to
surprise their husbands and followed them to their
woodland lair.
.
They were stopped at the gate, however, by a wizened
old guide.
.
“You gals better beat it quick, if you know what’s good
for you,” he advised. “This time these fellows brought
their wives with them!”
.
=============================
.
[ this is a repeat but it’s one’s one of my all time favorites:]

.
One winter morning, an employee explained why he had
shown up for work 45 minutes late.
.
“It was so slippery that, for every step I took ahead,
I slipped back two.”
.
The boss eyed him suspiciously.
“Oh, yeah? Then how did you ever get here?”
.
“I finally gave up,” he said, “and started for home.”
.
=============================
.
When I picked up my Ford Escort at the service station after
some minor repairs, I paid by check as usual.
.
A couple of weeks later I came home from work to find my wife
quite upset. She gave me the silent treatment until I figured out
why she was so angry.
.
She had noticed the canceled check, and on the memo line I
had written “Escort Service.”

2. Slogans:
.
A class professor was giving a lecture on company
slogans and was asking his students if they were
familiar with them.
.
“Joe,” he asked, “which company has the slogan,
‘come fly the friendly skies’?”
.
Joe answered the correct airline.
.
“Brenda, can you tell me which company has the slogan,
“Don’t leave home without it?”
.
Brenda answered the correct credit card company with
no difficulty.
.
“Now John, Tell me which company bears the slogan,
‘Just do it’?”
.
And John answered, “Mom….”
