Candy stand

After years of working for others and being passed over for promotions, John and his wife, Mary, decided to commence their own business. After examining the classifieds, they bought a small candy stand, paying thirty cents for each box of candy and then selling it for thirty cents. At the end of the day they were astonished to find that they had sold every box of candy yet had exactly as much money as when they started. You see John snarled at his wife. I told you we should have bought a larger stand!

Job interview

A man came for a job interview. At the interview the manager said remember we are very keen about cleanliness. Did you wipe your shoes before entering?".

"Oh, yes sir" replied the man. The manager narrowed his eyes and said, "We are also very keen about the truth. There is no mat at the entrance".

Baking bread

This man enters the bakery with a loaf of bread and said, "I bought this bread here, and it tastes bad" to the Baker. "What!" exclaimed the baker.

"I've been baking bread for 25 years!", the baker told the man. Then the man replies, "You should have sold it right away!"

Rectifying measures

A Japanese soap manufacturing company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a box of soap that was empty. The management tasked its engineers to solve the problem permanently to avoid any reoccurrence. The engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast. But a rank-and-file employee who faced the same problem came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.
