Friday Funnies
After a week of gripes & job tips, we figured it was time to kick back with a cup of coffee and enjoy a few good jokes. Since we don't know any, these will have to suffice.
Enjoy the weekend!

A guy walks into an office for a job interview. The interviewer asks him a few questions and then says, "Tell me what your dream job would be."
"Well," says the guy. "I guess my dream job would be one with a six-figure salary, corner office, and four weeks of paid vacation."
The interviewer thinks for a moment and then says, "Well, I guess I can tell you that we offer $150,000 for this position; it does come with a corner office; and we have six weeks of paid leave for all employees."
"Really??!?" the guy asks. "You're kidding, right?"
"Actually, I am kidding," says the interviewer. "But you started it."

A woman takes a job at a temp agency. She reports to work and discovers she will be filling in for a woman who will be out for six weeks of maternity leave.
"Is she a blond?" the woman asks.
"Why, yes," says the supervisor. "How did you know?"
"Well, the white out on the computer monitor was a start..."

A common story about Harry Truman involves his well-known disposition for profanity. Reportedly at one formal function, the president was overheard exclaiming, "That's a bunch of horse manure!"
An elderly woman nearby raised her eyebrows and tugged at Bess Truman's sleeve. "Really," she whispered. "You should do something about your husband's language!"
Bess rolled her eyes. "My dear," she said. "I have. It took me twenty years before I could get him to say 'manure'."
