A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a liberal Democrat.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they were liberal Democrats too.
Not really knowing what a liberal Democrat was but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks. There is, however, one exception. A girl named Lucy has not gone along with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
“Because I’m not a liberal Democrat.”
Then, asks the teacher, “what are you?”
“I’m a proud conservative Republican.”, boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a conservative Republican.
“Well, I was brought up to trust in myself instead of relying on an intrusive government to care for me and do all of my thinking. My Dad and Mom are conservative Republicans, and I am a conservative Republican too.”
The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly. “What if your Mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?”
A pause, and a smile. “Then,” says Lucy, “I’d be a liberal Democrat.”

In The Wintertime, a Dog curled up in as small a space as possible on account of the cold, determined to make himself a house.
However when the summer returned again, he lay asleep stretched at his full length and appeared to himself to be of a great size.
Now he considered that it would be neither an easy nor a necessary work to make himself such a house as would accommodate him.

George W. Bush went to see the doctor to get the results of his brain scan. The doctor said: “Mr. President, I have some bad news for you. First, we have discovered that your brain has two sides: the left side and the right side.”
Bush interrupted, “Well, that’s normal, isn’t it? I thought everybody had two sides to their brain?”
The doctor replied, “That’s true, Mr. President. But your brain is very unusual because on the left side there isn’t anything right, while on the right side there isn’t anything left.”

Late one night in the Washington D.C. a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into the path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in his ribs.
“Give me your money,” he demanded.
Indignant, the affluent man replied, “You can’t do this – I’m a US Congressman!”
“In that case,” replied the robber, “give me MY money!”

While on a luxury cruise, the receptionist received a call from a distressed passenger. “I wish to inform you that there is a faulty electrical appliance in my suite. Could you please send someone over to have it repaired immediately??” asked a lady passenger, clearly upset.
“Certainly, I shall arrange for someone to look into the matter immediately. Which electrical appliance would that be??” asked the concierge.
“It’s the microwave. I’ve been trying to warm up some supper for myself but the microwave wouldn’t start?”, replied the passenger.
“The microwave, Madam??” repeated the bewildered receptionist. “Yes, the microwave. You know, the heating device that is installed in the wardrobe?”, replied the passenger sarcastically. “I’ve been trying for the past hour but my supper is still cold?”
Upon arriving at the suite, the receptionist found the lady passenger standing in front of the wardrobe, pressing vigorously at the control panel of the safe deposit box installed in the wardrobe. “Let me show you how what I have been trying. I key in the number of minutes here, but I don’t really know which one is the start button…?”
(By the way, this is original story told by a Captain of a cruise liner.)

“Yes, this is Carl speaking. How may I help you today?”
“I think my diskettes are faulty. I keep getting the error message bad or invalid disk operation”
“I can help you, but I will need a copy of your defective diskettes to help me diagnose the problem. Could you send a copy to our customer care centre?”
A few days later, a package arrived for Carl from the customer. The package contained several photocopied pages, they were copies of the diskettes.
