HUMOUR TIME

A Kentuckian came home and found his house on fire, rushed next door, telephoned the fire department and shouted, “Hurry over here. My house is on fire!”

“OK,” replied the fireman, “how do we get there?”

“Say, don’t you still have those big red trucks?”

*****

The Pope dies and goes to heaven. When he gets there, Saint Peter shows him to his new quarters which turn out to be a tiny one bedroom apartment. The Pope is horrified and wants to know why he doesn’t have the penthouse apartment, which is huge. Saint Peter informs him that the resident of the penthouse is a lawyer. “A lawyer,” says the Pope. “But I’m the Pope, surely I’m more important.” “With respect Sir,” says Saint Peter, ‘We have lots of Pope’s up here, but we only have ONE lawyer!”

*****

A property manager of an apartment complex was showing a unit to prospective tenants and asking the usual questions

“Professionally employed?” he asked.

“We’re a military family,” the wife answered.

“Children?”

“Oh, yes, ages nine and twelve,” she answered proudly.

“Animals?”

“Oh, no,” she said earnestly. “They’re very well behaved.”

LESSON 4

Time and Dates

Time discovers truth.

Lost time is never found again.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.

We say we waste time, but that is impossible. We waste ourselves.

Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.
