"Vet Bills"

 

 

While waiting at the veterinarian's office, I overheard two women chatting about their dogs.
"What's your dog's name?" asked the first woman.

 

"Well, we used to call her Pork Chop," answered the second lady. "But after the vet bills we've had for her, we now call her Filet Mignon."

 

”Fishing Mirror”

 

A fisherman from the city was out fishing on a lake in a small boat. He noticed another man in a small boat open his tackle box and take out a mirror. Being curious the man rowed over and asked, "What is the mirror for?"

 

"That's my secret way to catch fish," said the other man. "Shine the mirror on the top of the water. The fish notice the spot of sun on the water above and they swim to the surface. Then I just reach down and net them and pull them into the boat."

 

"Wow! Does that really work?"

 

"You bet it does."

 

"Would you be interested in selling that mirror? I'll give you $30 for it."

 

"Well, okay."

 

After the money was transferred, the city fisherman asked, "By the way, how many fish have you caught this week?"

 

"You're the sixth," he said.

 

"The Rest Of The Story"

 

 

The 3 Goldberg brothers, Norman, Hyman, and Max invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17th, 1946, the temperature in Detroit was 97.

 

The 3 brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked
his secretary into telling him that 3 gentlemen were there with the most
exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter.

 

Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car.

 

They persuaded him to get into the car which was about 130 - turned on
the air-conditioner and cooled the car off immediately.

 

The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he
offered them 3 million dollars for the patent.

 

The brothers refused saying they would settle for 2 million but they wanted the recognition by having a label "The Goldberg Air-Conditioner" on the dashboard of each car that it was installed in.

 

Now old man Ford was more than just a little bit Anti-Semitic, and there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name on 2 million Ford cars.

 

They haggled back and forth for about 2 hours and finally agreed on 4 million dollars and that just their first names would be shown.

 

And so, even today, all Ford air-conditioners show on the controls, the
names "Norm, Hi, & Max."
