Morris
had just been hired as the new CEO of a large high-tech corporation. The CEO
who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three
envelopes numbered 1, 2 and 3. "Open these if you run up against a problem
you don't think you can solve," the departing CEO said.
Things
went along pretty smoothly, but six months later, the sales took a downturn and
Morris was really catching a lot of heat. About at his wit's end, he remembered
the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The
message read, "Blame your predecessor." Morris called a press
conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.
Satisfied with his comments, the press, and Wall Street, responded positively,
the sales began to pick up and the problem was soon behind him.
About a
year later, the company was again experiencing a slight dip in sales, combined
with serious product problems. Having learned from his previous experience, the
CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read,
"Reorganize." This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.
After
several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on
difficult times. Morris went to his office, closed the door and opened the
third envelope.
The
message said, "Prepare three envelopes!"

Dear
Abby,
My husband is a liar and a
cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and when I confront him, he
denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so
humiliating. Also, since he lost his job 14 years ago, he hasn't even looked
for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and shoot the
bull with his buddies, while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our
daughter went away to college, he doesn't even pretend to like me, and even
hints that I may be a lesbian.
What should I do?
Signed:
Clueless.
Dear Clueless:
Grow up and dump him. You don't need him anymore!
Good grief, woman, you're running for the Vice President of the United States!
What do you do
when you come across an elephant in the jungle?
Wipe it off and say you’re sorry!
At my friends' wedding reception, the groom stood
to say a few words.
He turned to his bride's mother. "You've
given me a gift," he began, "a gift that..."
Here he paused in thought, whereupon his
mother-in-law completed the sentence, "That you can't return!"
Sally, a blonde, goes on her first camping trip.
Her husband, who was a Scout Leader, was sick so she volunteered to take over
for him one weekend. So, she got everyone together and assigned different
duties to each scout.
Gabby was responsible for the
food supplies, Mike would be the cook this trip, Johnnie was responsible for
their maps and making up a time schedule, Tim was to decide on their events,
and to fit them into Johnnie's schedule and Sally would test all their
equipment before setting out.
They arrived at Big Moose
Mountain and everyone was excited. They arrived right on schedule and were
getting ready for their first event - hiking up the mountain. But first, they
wanted to get something to eat. So, Sally asked Mike if he would prepare the
meal and, of course, Mike said he would.
About 10 minutes later he came
back and told Sally, "I can't make the supper. I can't light a fire with
the matches you brought."
Sally replied, "I can't understand that.
Those matches should be perfectly fine. I tested them all just before we
left!"

A young girl who was writing a paper for her
school came to her father and asked, “Dad, what is the difference between anger
and exasperation?”
The father replied, “It is
mostly a matter of degree. Let me show you what I mean.”
With that the father went to the telephone and
dialled a number at random. To the man who answered the phone, he said, “Hello,
is Melvin there?”
The man answered, “There is no one living here
named Melvin. Why don't you learn to look for the correct number before you
dial?”
“See,” said the father to his
daughter. “That man was not a bit happy with my call. He was probably very busy
with something and I annoyed him. Now watch….”
The father dialled the same number again. “Hello,
is Melvin there?” asked the father.
“Now look here!” came the heated reply. “You just
called this number and I told you that there is no Melvin here! You've got lot
of guts calling again!” The receiver slammed down hard.
The father turned to his
daughter and said, “You see, that was anger. Now I'll show you what
exasperation means.”
He dialled the same number, and when a violent
voice roared, “Hello!”
The father calmly said, “Hello, this is Melvin. Have there been any calls for me?”
