Reason

Posted By admin in At Work

A guy phones up his Boss, but gets the bosses’ wife instead.

“I’m afraid he died last week.” she explains. The next day the man calls again and asks for the boss. “I told you” the wife replies, “he died last week.”

The next day he calls again and once more asks to speak to his boss. By this time the wife is getting upset and shouts, “I’VE ALREADY TOLD YOU TWICE, MY HUSBAND, YOUR BOSS, DIED LAST WEEK! WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING?”

“Cause,” he replied laughing, “I just love hearing it…”

Days off

Posted By admin in At Work, Long Jokes

Two bone weary public servants were working their little hearts and souls out. Their department was just too busy for staff to be able take flex. But there had to be a way…
One of the two public servants suddenly lifted his head. “I know how to get some time off work” the man whispered.

“How?” asked the second worker.

Instead of answering, the man quickly looked around. No sign of his Director. He jumped up on his desk, kicked out a couple of ceiling tiles and hoisted himself up. “Look!” he hissed, then swinging his legs over a metal pipe, hung upside down.

Within seconds, the Director emerged from the Branch Head’s office at the far end of the floor. He saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he thought he was doing.

“I’m a light bulb” answered the public servant.

“I think you need some time off,” barked the Director. “Get out of here - that’s an order - and I don’t want to see you back here for at least another two days! You understand me?”

“Yes sir”, the public servant answered meekly, then jumped down, logged off his computer and left.

The second worker was hot on his heels.

“Where do you think you’re going?” the boss asked.

“Home,” he said lightly. “I can’t work in the dark.”

Night classes

Posted By admin in At Work

During work, Raman and Narayan were chatting:

Raman: Narain, I’ve been attending night classes for 5 months now and I have an exam next week.

Narayan: oh!

Raman: For example, do you know who is Graham Bell?

Narayan: No

Raman: He’s the inventor of the phone in 1876; if you take night Courses you would know this.

The next day, the same discussion took place:

Raman: Do you know who Alexander Dumas is?

Narayan: No

Raman: He’s the author of “The 3 Musketeers”, if you take night courses, you would know this.

The next day, once again:

Raman: And do you know who Jean Jacques Rousseau is?

Narayan: No

Raman: He’s the author of “Confessions”, if you take night courses, you would know this.

This time, Narayan got irritated and said: And you, do you know who is Balakrishnan Kuppuswamy?

Raman: No

Narayan: He’s the guy roaming with your wife!! If you stop night courses, you would know.

Selling Skills

Posted By admin in At Work

Manager of a Retail store in US asks: “Do you have any sales experience?”
The Indian says: “Sir, I was a salesman back home in India.”

Well, the boss liked the Indian chappie so he gave him the job. “You
start tomorrow.. I’ll come down after we close and see how you did.”

His first day on the job was rough but he got through it.

After the store was locked up, the boss came down.
“How many sales did you make today?”

Indian boy says: “Sir, Just ONE sale.”

The boss says: “Just one? No! No! No! You see here our sales people
average 20 or 30 sales a day.” If you want to keep this job, you’d
better be doing better than just one sale.

By the way, how much was the sale for?”

Indian boy says: ” $101 237. 64″

Boss says: “$101 237. 64? What the hell did you sell?”

Indian boy says: “Sir, First I sell him small fishhook.
Then I sell him medium fishhook.
Then I sell him large fishhook.
Then I sold him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.

Then I ask him where he’s going fishing and he said down on the
coast, so
I told him he’ll be needing a boat, so we went down to the boating
department and I sell him twin engine Chris Craft.
Then he said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I
took him
down to our automotive department and sell him that 4X4 Blazer.

I then ask him where he’ll be staying, and since he had no
accommodation,
I took him to camping department and sell him one of those new igloo
6 sleeper camper tents.

Then the guy said, while we’re at it, I should throw in about $100
worth of groceries and two cases of beer.

The boss said: “You’re not serious? A guy came in here to buy a
fishhook and you sold him a boat, a 4X4 truck and a tent?”

Indian boy says: “No Sirji, actually he came in to buy Anacin for
his headache, and I said: Well, fishing is the best way to relax your
mind.”
