My two-year old granddaughter, Sally was with her mother while her older sister was being examined by the dentist.
Sally kept herself busy playing with toys in the waiting room until she noticed that her mom was resting, her eyes closed.
With about six other patients waiting, Sally marched up to her mother, looked her straight in the face and shook her shoulder. "Mommy," she yelled, "Wake up! This is not church!"
A speeding driver was pulled over by a policeman. He asked the policeman, "Why was I pulled over when I wasn't the only one speed- ing."
The policeman replied, "Have you ever been fishing?"
The man then said, "Yes, I have."
"Well, have you ever caught all the fish?" asked the policeman.
Little Anne came running into the house after the school one day, shouting, "Daddy! Daddy! I got 100 in school today!"
"That's great sweetheart!" said her daddy.
"Come into the living room and tell me about it," daddy continued.
Little Anne said, "Well, I got 50 in spelling, 30 in math and 20 in science."
When he saw how astronomical- ly high his latest phone bill was, the head of house called a family meeting.
“This is unaccept- able,” said the father. ”You have to limit the use of the phone. I never use this phone. I always use the one in the office.”
The mother said, ”Same here. I hardly use the home phone,
because I use my work phone.”
The son said, ”Me, too. I never use the home phone. I always use the compa- ny's mobile."
”So what is the problem?” asked the maid. ”We all use our work tele- phones.”
A young busi- nessman had just started his own firm. He had just rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques.
Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the busi- nessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working.
He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines."
Pizzeria Employs Robot Server To Bring Food To Tables
By Ben Hooper
June 7 (UPI) -
- A Rhode
Island pizzeria unveiled the lat- est addition to its serving staff: a robot designed to take on the heavy lifting.
Bill Kitsilis, co- owner of Angelo's Palace Pizza in Cumberland, said he pur- chased a robot known as a Servi to help take some of the pressure off his
staff.
"When we're really busy, our expediter is always yelling out, 'runners, runners,' looking for people to run food and our servers are busy," Kitsilis told WJAR-TV.
He said the robot is programmed with the layout of the eatery, so the operator needs only to put in the table number and the Servi will know where to
go.
"I feel like if my servers are able to spend more face-to-face time with the guests instead of run- ning back and forth in the restaurant, just makes the job easier," Kitsilis said.
The restaurant
is holding a nam- ing contest for the robot, with the winning sub- mission earning a $100 gift card.
