Partners

A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new
son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into
the family," said the man. "To show you how much we care for
you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you
have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the
operations."
The son-in-law interrupted. "I hate factories. I can't stand the
noise."
"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well then you'll work in the
office and take charge of some of the operations."
"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being
stuck behind a desk all day."
"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just make you half-
owner of a moneymaking organization, but you don't like factories and
won't work in a office. What am I going to do with you?"
"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out."

THE HARD-WORKING MECHANIC
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our
car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally locked in it. We went
to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock
the driver's side door.
As I watched from the passenger's side, I instinctively tried the door
handle and discovered it was open.
"Hey," I announced to the technician, "It's open!"
"I know," answered the young man. "I already got that side."
