All the members of the company's Board of Directors were called into the Chairman's office, one after another, until only Ted, the junior member, was left sitting outside.

Finally, it was his turn and he entered the office to find the Chairman and the other six directors seated at the far end of the boardroom table.

Ted was instructed to stand at the other end of the table, which he did.

The Chairman looked Ted squarely in the eye, and with a stern voice, he asked:

"Have you ever had sex with my secretary, Miss Floyd?"

"Oh, no, sir, positively not...!" Ted replied.

"Are you absolutely sure...?" asked the chairman.

"Honest, I've never been close enough to even touch her...!"

"You'd swear to that...?"

"Yes, I swear I've never had sex with Miss Floyd, anytime, anywhere" insisted Ted.

"Good. Then YOU fire her."

My friend’s Dad used to say “the sky’s the limit”.
Which is probably why he got fired from N.A.S.A

The wife of the blind man ran away with the pool boy.
He thought their marriage was great, but he just didn't see that one coming.

My friend’s Dad used to say “fight fire with fire”.
Which is probably why he got fired from being a firefighter.

I don't get it. I mean, unless he didn't see because he's blind isn't all there is to it.

Reminds me of Basil Fawlty's (John Cleese) joke about responding to perceived criticism:

Regular Guy: "Isn't that a bit pretentious?"
Educated Guy: "Pretentious? Moi?".

Pre-surgery, the doc offered to knock the patient out with either anesthetic gas or a boat paddle. It was an ether-oar situation.

My wife says I never listen to her. Or something like that.

I want to grow my own food but I can't find any bacon seeds.

Will glass coffins every be popular? Remains to be seen.

If you boil a funny bone, it becomes laughing stock. Now that's humerus.

I've been there multple times. When I was a grad student at nearby U of M, I belonged to the Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society, which sponsors an annual event named "One Helluva Ride."

There's a small lake nearby, with the dam visible from the road; and a tavern named the "Dam Site Inn."

I grew up with Bob Hope, Steve Jobs, and Johnny Cash. Now there's no jobs, no cash and no hope.
