Duck tap
 circus owner walked into a bar to see everyone crowded about a table
watching a little show. On the table was an upside down pot and a duck
tap dancing on it. The circus owner was so impressed that he offered to
buy the duck from its owner. After some wheelin’ and dealin’ they
settled for $10000 for the duck and the pot.
Three days later the circus
owner runs back to the bar in anger, “Your duck is a rip-off! I put him
on the pot before a huge audience and he didn’t dance a single step!”
“Hmmm,” said the duck’s former owner, “did you remember to light the
candle under the pot?”
Honest lawyer
 An old man was on his death bed. He wanted badly to take all his
money with him. He called his priest, his doctor and his lawyer to his
bedside. “Here’s $30,000 cash to be held by each of you. I trust you to
put this in my coffin when I die so I can take all my money with me.”
At the funeral, each man put an envelope in the coffin. Riding away
in a limousine, the priest suddenly broke into tears and confessed that
he had only put $20,000 into the envelope because he needed $10,000 for
a new baptistery. “Well, since we’re confiding in each other,” said the
doctor, “I only put $10,000 in the envelope because we needed a new
machine at the hospital which cost $20,000.” The lawyer was aghast. “I’m
ashamed of both of you,” he exclaimed. “I want it known that when I put
my envelope in that coffin, it contained my personal check for the full
$30,000.” |
