MISTAKEN IDENTITY
As a Brit working in the US during the
early 1990s I met several Americans
who “just loved” my accent.
I was particularly tickled by one
young woman who complimented
me – when I informed her that I came
from Scotland – with “Wow your
English is really good!”

NO ILL FEELING

After a week of with ‘man lu’
I returned to work.
On my irst day back one girl
complained that she was unwell.
“Oh dear” I said. “I hope it’s
nothing I’ve given you.”
“So do I” she replied. “It’s
morning sickness!”

Bone Up

Some tourists in the Museum of

Natural History are marvelling

at dinosaur bones. One of them

asks the guard “Can you tell me

how old the bones are?”

he guard replies “hey’re

65000011 years old.”

“hat’s an awfully exact

number” says the tourist.

“How do you know their age so

precisely?”

“Well” the guard answers

“they were 65 million years old

when I started working here and

that was 11 years ago.”
