Showing posts with the label assumptions

Chuckle

A juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police.  "What are those machetes doing in your car?" asks the cop. "I juggle them in my act." "Oh yeah?" says the doubtful cop.  "Let's see you do it."  The juggler gets out and starts tossing and catching the knives.  Another man driving by slows down to watch. "Wow," says the passer-by.  "I'm glad I quit drinking.  Look at the test they're giving now!" -Natalie Kaplowitz

Assume Nothing

There was a rich and rather autocratic employer who believed in telling people exactly what to do and no questions asked. When he asked a new employee where he worked previously, the answer was, “in a barbershop.” ”All right, you can cut my hair,” commanded the man of quick decision as he sent for comb and sisters.   The new worker had been warned by other employees to do exactly as he was told and to ask no questions. So he cut the man’s hair. When the employer in the mirror and saw a most ill-cut head of hair, he let out a howl of range, turned to the trembling employee and asked him in a loud voice, “Just what did you do in the barbershop?” " I shined shoes,” answered the employee. Make no assumptions.
