We had to have the garage door repaired.

The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.

I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.

He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'

I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'

We haven't used that repairman since...

I live in a semi-rural area.

We recently had a new neighbour call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.

The reason: 'Too many deers are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco.

She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'

He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,

'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'

To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'

He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

When my wife and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.

We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.

As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.

‘Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open!'

His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'

A teenager brings her new boyfriend home to meet her parents. They are appalled by his haircut, his tattoos, his piercings.

Later, the girl's mom says, "Dear, he doesn't seem to be a very nice boy."

"Oh, please, Mom!" says the daughter. "If he wasn't nice, would he be doing 500 hours of community service?"

A blind man went into the department store and suddenly began swinging his dog around and around above his head.

The superintendent rushed over and, ducking each time the dog passed overhead, asked: “Sir, can I help you?”

“No, I’m just looking around”

The irate customer called the newspaper office, loudly demanding to know where her Sunday edition was.

“Ma’am”, said the Receptionist, “Today is Saturday.  The Sunday paper is not delivered until Sunday”.

There was a long pause at the other end of the phone, followed by a ray of recognition.  “I’ll bet that’s why no one was in church today too.”

A Census official was assisting a farmer’s wife to fill in her forms.  “How many children have you got?”, he asked.

“Six” she replied. “Three sets of twins.”

“How very extraordinary,” said the census man. “Twins every time.”

“Oh no,” she said with a blush.  Not every time. Hundreds of times, nothing.”
