WAKEUP CALL
Posted by: root <root@...>
A big executive boarded a New York to Chicago train. He explained to the
porter, "I'm a heavy sleeper, but I want you to be sure and wake me up at
3:00 am for the stop in Buffalo. I don't care what I say, you just make sure
I get off in Buffalo."
The next morning the executive woke up in Chicago. He was furious. He found
the porter and really gave him an earful before hustling off to purchase a
return ticket.
After he left, a co-worker said to the porter, "How can you stand there and
let that passenger abuse you like that?"
"That's nothing," said the porter. "You should have heard the guy who I put
off in Buffalo!"

Caught red-handed
==================
A shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch
from an exclusive jewelry store. "Listen," said the shop-
lifter, "I know you don't want any trouble either. What do
you say I just buy the watch and we forget about this?"
The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The crook
looked at the slip and said, "This is a little more than I
intended to spend. Can you show me something less expensive?"
