HUMOUR ON THE JOB

RENT RANT
Rent day has come and gone. Here
are some of the real-life responses
tenants gave to their landlords to
explain why they didn’t pay the rent
on time:
Q“I didn’t pay the rent because I’m
savinguptomove.”
Q“Oh, come on. You’re gonna harass
me on Valentine’s Day?”
Q“My last landlord had no problem
with me paying late. This seems
to be a real big issue with you.”
Q“I’m getting real tired of paying
this rent every month. You’ll just
have to wait.” Source: the US Landlord
Protection Agency (thelpa.com)

SMART ALECS


Readers remember sassy responses to teachers’
questions:


Q:Can you use the word ‘etiquette’ in a sentence?


A:Sure: “I don’t know the meaning of the
word etiquette.” PREETHA RENGASWAMY


Q:What percentage of the European
population died following
the outbreak of the plague?

BASIC TRAINING
When I was in the
Marines,my drill
instructor put the
whole ‘no such
thing as a stupid
question’ thing
perfectly. He
told us, “There’s
no such thing
as a stupid
question, but
some questions
come with
push-ups.”
