Happy Friday and Happy Labor Day! I hope you have a chance to kick back a little bit and relax this weekend. Here are a couple of jokes to jump start your weekend.
Enjoy!
STAR OF THE EUPHRATES
King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. He was down to his last great possession, the most valuable diamond known in the ancient world, the Star of the Euphrates, But the kink was desperate, so he went to Giddius, the pawnbroker, to get a loan.
Giddius said, “I’ll give you 100,000 dinars for it.”
“But I paid a million dinars for it,” the king protested. “Don’t you know who I am!? I am the king!!”
Giddius simply replied, “I am sorry but when you wish to pawn a Star, it makes no difference who you are.”
SHINGLES
These days, it seems like more and more doctors are running their practices like an assembly lines. I heard about a guy who recently walked into a doctor’s office. He was greeted by the receptionist who asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.”
The receptionist took down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aid came out and asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.”
The nurse’s aid took down his height, his weight, a complete medical history and told him to wait in the examining room. After a half-hour a nurse came in and asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.”
So the nurse gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, she then told him to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor. After another hour the doctor came in and asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.”
The doctor said, “Where do you have them?”
The man replied, “Outside in the truck. Where do you want them?”
Thought for the Week
God give me work, till my life shall end
And life, till my work is done.
