Go Hi-Tech?
Posted by: <@...>
A man is at Grand Central Station waiting for his train which leaves at
6:00 PM but he has forgotten his watch. So he looks for someone to ask the
time. He spots this guy walking past carrying 2 suitcases and sporting
this fabulous hi-tech watch, so he asks him for the time.
The guy replies "Sure, which country?"
The fella asks "How many countries have you got?", to which the reply is
"All the countries in the world!"
"Wow! That's a pretty cool watch you've got there."
"That's nothing. This watch also has a GPS facility, fax, e-mail and can
even receive NTSC television channels and display them on its miniature
active color pixel LCD screen!"
"Boy, that's incredible. I wish I had a watch like that one . . . You
wouldn't consider selling it by any chance?"
"Well, actually the novelty has worn off for me, so for $900, if you want
it, it's yours."
The watchless traveller can hardly whip out his check book fast enough,
and hands over a check for $900.
The seller takes off the watch and gives it to him. "Congratulations, here
is your new hi-tech watch" and then, handing the 2 suitcases over as well
he says, "and here are the batteries."

Plumbers and Doctors
A pipe burst in a doctor's house.
He called a plumber.
The plumber arrived, unpacked his tools, did mysterious plumber-type
things for a while, and handed the doctor a bill for $600.
The doctor exclaimed, "This is ridiculous! I don't even make that much as
a DOCTOR!"
The plumber quietly replied, "Neither did I."
