Jest a Minute
Smart Way
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss
on their way to a meeting, through a park, came
across a wonder lamp. They rubbed the lamp and
a Genie appeared. The Genie said, "Normally, one
is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will
allow one wish each."
So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want to be in
the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries."
Pfuffff! The Genie did some magic.
The senior manager was gone!
Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and
shouted, "I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls,
plenty of food and cocktails."
Pfuffff! Again some magic by Genie.
And the junior manager was also gone!
Then the boss calmly said, "In times of such recession
we cannot afford such pleasures. So I want both the
guys back in the office after lunch."
Between Two Thieves
After dozens of very expensive tests and weeks of
hospitalization, a rich old man was told he had only
24 hours to live.
He immediately called his doctor and his lawyer to
his room. He asked the doctor to stand by one side
and his lawyer on the other side of his bed.
After standing for sometime, the doctor asked, "What
do you want me to do?" "Nothing. Just stand there."
A little later, the lawyer asked "What do you want me
to do?" "Nothing. Just stand there."
As the hours went on, the doctor and the lawyer saw
the man paralyse. When his time had almost arrived,
the doctor and the lawyer again asked, "Why are we
standing here?"
"Well," said the old man, "My last wish is to die
between two thieves. So, it's happening."
