The manager of a large retail outlet noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office.
"What is your name?" was the first thing the manager asked the new guy.
"John," the new guy replied.

A picky customer comes to a small food shop and sees a new delivery of fresh fruit. "Give me two kilograms of oranges and wrap every orange up in a separate piece of paper, please," he says to the saleswoman. She does.

"And what is that there," he asks pointing out a bushel basket in the corner.
"Cherries," says the saleswoman, "but they are not for sale!" |
