Funny Articles Series #1
I got the stories from articles in a Reader's Digest Magazine. Have a Laugh:
At the nature park where I worked in Hawaii, cliff divers often filled in as lifeguards at the falls. On chilly days, however, they wore sweat shirts that covered the lifeguard badges on their swimsuits, so it wasn't apparent that they were safety officers. One day three preteen daredevils ignored my co-worker Nancy when she told them not to dive in the pond's shallow edge. Challenging her authority, one boy said in defiance, "Who says?"
"THIS says!" Nancy replied, lifting her sweat shirt to display her lifeguard badge. Seeing their wide-eyed stares and feeling cool air, Nancy only needed a second to remember that she had already removed her wet swimsuit earlier in the day.
While working as a directory assistance operator, I answered the phone one day with my usual, "Hello. What city, please?"
"I'm not sure of the city," the caller replied. "But could you please give me the number for 1-800-DENTIST?"
My son had just turned 15 when I finally decided to talk to him about sex. To ensure private time, I brought him on a ski trip and began our talk on the chairlift so he couldn't escape. "Do you know about girls and babies?" I asked. He nodded but cut me off. The next ride, I brought it up again, only to have him look away in silence. On the third trip, I already knowing I had waited too long, I bluntly asked, "Son, would you like to talk about s**?"
"Gee, Dad," he responded, "is that all you ever think about?"--contributed by R.M. Ettington
From a weather bulletin broadcast by a TV station: "Severe thunderstorm watch until 4:30 this afternoon. Stay inside. Do not use any electrical appliances. Please stay tuned for further information."
