A women came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted excitedly, “Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!” The husband said, “Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?” “Doesn’t matter,” she said, “Just get out.”

A guy goes to the USPS to apply for a job. He was asked if he is allergic to anything. He replied “Yes, caffeine. I can’t drink coffee.” Ok, have you ever been in the military? “Yes, I was in Afghanistan for one tour.” That will give you 5 points toward employment. Are you disabled in any way? “Yes, a bomb exploded near me & I lost my testicles.” Disabled in your country’s service! That qualifies you for bonus points. Looking at the regulations you have enough points to be hired on the spot. Our normal hours are 8-4. You can plan on starting every day at 10. “If the work hours are from 8-4, why don’t you want me here until 10?” This is a government job, for the first 2 hours we just stand around drinking coffee & scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that.”
