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

I returned to work.
On my irst day back one girl
complained that she was unwell.
âOh dearâ I said. âI hope itâs
nothing Iâve given you.â
âSo do Iâ she replied. âItâs
morning sickness!â

Bone Up
Some tourists in the Museum of
Natural History are marvelling
at dinosaur bones. One of them
asks the guard âCan you tell me
how old the bones are?â
he guard replies âheyâre
65000011 years old.â
âhatâs an awfully exact
numberâ says the tourist.
âHow do you know their age so
precisely?â
âWellâ the guard answers
âthey were 65 million years old
when I started working here and
that was 11 years ago.â
