I saw a documentary

on how ships are kept

together. Riveting!

comedian

I told you I’ll be there

in five minutes. Stop

calling me every

half hour!

If you can sit quietly

after difficult news; if

in financial downturns

you remain perfectly

calm; if you can see

your neighbours travel

to fantastic places with-

out a twinge of jealousy;

if you can eat happily

whatever is put on your

plate; if you can fall

asleep after a day of

An Uber is cruising

down a boulevard

when it runs a red

light. “Hey!” the pas-

senger shouts. “Be

careful!”

“Don’t worry,” says

the driver. “My brother

does it all the time.”

He barrels through

the next red light, and

the passenger screams,

“Stop doing that!”

“I’m telling you,

my brother does this

all the time.”

They approach the

next light. Just when it

turns green, the driver

slams on the brakes.

The confused passen-

ger asks, “You just ran

two red lights; why’d

you stop at a green?”

“I had to,” says the

driver. “My brother

might have been

coming.”

I just scream in people’s faces.”
