Mary Poppins was traveling home, but due to worsening weather, she decided to stop at a hotel for the night.
She approached the receptionist and asked for a room for the night.
“Certainly madam”, he replied courteously.
“Is the restaurant open still?” inquired Mary.
“Sorry, no,” came the reply, “but room service is available all night. Would you care to select something from this menu?”
Mary smiled and took the menu and perused it. “Hmm, I would like cauliflower cheese please,” said Mary.
“Certainly madam,” he replied.
“And can I have breakfast in bed?” asked Mary politely. The receptionist nodded and smiled. “In that case, I would love a couple of poached eggs please,” Mary mused. After confirming the order, Mary signed in and went up to her room for the night.
The night passed uneventfully and next morning Mary came down early to check out.
The same guy was still on the desk.
“Morning madam…sleep well?”
“Yes, thank you,” Mary replied.
“Food to your liking?”
“Well, I have to say the cauliflower cheese was exceptional, I don’t think I have had better. Shame about the eggs tho….they really weren’t that nice at all,” replied Mary truthfully.
“Oh…well, perhaps you could contribute these thoughts to our Guest Comments Book. We are always looking to improve our service and would value your opinion,” said the receptionist.
“OK, I will…thanks!” replied Mary….who checked out, then scribbled a comment into the book. Waving, she left to continue her journey.
Curious, the receptionist picked up the book to see the comment Mary had written.
“Supercauliflowercheesebuteggswerequiteatrocious!”
A man lost both his ears in a very serious automobile accident but as a result received a large insurance settlement.
After some period of time he realized that he needed an assistant to help him manage his money.
He decided to interview several candidates.
The first candidate was very impressive and answered all the questions satisfactorily.
The interviewer then posed one final questions, “Do you notice anything unusual about me?”
“Well, yes,” the candidate replied. “You don’t have any ears.”
The interviewer was outraged as he was very sensitive about his lack of ears and dismissed the candidate.
The second candidate was a very attractive woman who also answered all the questions satisfactorily. Again the interviewer posed one final question, “Do you notice anything unusual about me?”
“Well, yes,” the woman replied. “You don’t have any ears.” The angry interviewer dismissed her immediately.
The third and final candidate was shown in. He too, answered all questions correctly.
Finally the interviewer asked him, “Do you notice anything unusual about me?”
The candidate replied, “I notice you’re wearing contact lenses.” The interviewer was delighted.
“How insightful. How did you happen to notice I was wearing contacts?”
“Well, you couldn’t be wearing glasses, you don’t have any ears.”
