DIVISION OF LABOR

Jack and Jill had an outstandingly happy and successful marriage. One day Jack was asked by a business acquaintance to what he attributed this remarkable success.

"It's simple," he said. "Division of labor. My wife makes all the small, routine decisions. She decides what house we buy, where we go on vacation, whether the kids go to private schools, if I should change my job, and so on."

"And you?" asked the business acquaintance.

Jack replied, "I make the big, fundamental decisions. I decide if the United States should declare war on China, if Congress should appropriate money for a manned expedition to Mars, and so on."

not MADE IN AMERICA!

Joe Smith started the day early, having set his alarm clock (made in Japan) for 6:00a.m.

While his coffee pot (made in China) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (made in Hong Kong).

He put on a dress shirt (made in Sri Lanka), designer jeans (made in Singapore), and tennis shoes (made in Korea).

After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (made in India), he sat down with his calculator (made in Mexico), to see how much he could spend today.

After setting his watch (made in Taiwan), to the radio (made in India), he got in his car (made in Germany) and continued his search for a good-paying American job.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals (made in Brazil), poured himself a glass of wine (made in France), and turned on his TV (made in Indonesia),

then wondered why he can't find a good-paying job in AMERICA.

THINGS YOUR MOTHER WOULDN'T SAY

"Be good and for your birthday I'll buy you a motorcycle!"

"How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back?"

"Let me smell that shirt--yeah, it's good for another week."

"Yeah, I used to skip school, too."

"Could you turn the music up louder so I can enjoy it, too?"

"Run and bring me the scissors! Hurry!"

"Aw, just turn these undies inside out. No one will ever know."

"I don't have a tissue with me--just use your sleeve."

"Well, if Timmy's Mom says it's okay, that's good enough for me."

A guy walks into a psychologist's office wearing a dancer's tutu with a parrot on his head and a cocktail onion stuffed up each nostril.

He answers, "Well, Doc, I'm worried about my brother..."

An irate woman burst into the baker's shop and said, "I sent my son in for two pounds of cookies this morning, but when I weighed them there was only one pound. I suggest that you check your scales."

The baker looked at her calmly for a moment or two and then replied, "Ma'am, I suggest you weigh your son."

RETIRED MILITARY

There was once four elderly gentlemen in a railroad compartment in Germany. They were taking an overnight trip, so one of the gentlemen suggested that they introduce themselves.

The first man said, " I am a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel. I have four sons; all of them are doctors. I flew over here MAC Space available and the trip cost me nothing."

The Second man laughed and said, "I am a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel also. And I also have four sons; all of them are lawyers. I flew over here Mac Space-Available and it cost me nothing also."

Third man laughed and said, "You won't believe this, but I'm a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel too. My four sons are architects. And I flew over on MAC. Isn't it a small world?"

The Fourth Old Man snorted and said, "I retired Air Force too, a Retired Senior Chief Master Sergeant. I paid my way over here because retired Colonels kept bumping me off the plane. The Air Force moved me around so much I never did get married, but I have three sons anyway, and all of them are Retired Air Force Colonels...."
