"Humility"

 

    

 

A colleague was invited to hold a speech in Japan. Aware of his reputation as a very good speaker, he was surprised that his audience did not react at all to any of his perfectly timed jokes and witticisms. In fact, the audience did not react to anything he said.
Somewhat put down, he went back to his seat and a Japanese gentleman appeared on the stage. This man had a terrific success! People laughed and applauded, and although the original speaker could not understand one bit of what was said, still he started to applaud, as the man evidently deserved praise for this perfect speech.

 

He was interrupted by the chairman of the conference, "No no, sir. You must not applaud."

 

Dumfounded, he protested: "But why? This man is obviously a very good speaker."

 

"No sir, you must not applaud. He is translating your speech."

"Conch Sale"

 

 

In a misguided burst of creativity, I installed a night-light in a conch shell I found on the beach. My wife took an instant dislike to it, and at the next yard sale it was the first thing she put out.
I felt vindicated when a woman kept coming back to check it out then finally bought it. "That will look great in your home," I said.

 

"Oh it is not for me," she explained. "My bridge club is having a charity auction and we were asked to bring in the most hideous thing we can find. What I've got here is a winner."

"The Elevator"

 

 

The conservative businessman got on the elevator and curtly
asked the bellboy to take him to the 18th floor.

 

"Sure thing, son." replied the bellboy.

 

"How dare you call me son!!" exclaimed the outraged man.

 

"Well," replied the boy... "I brought you up, didn't I?"
