Football Math!

A football coach walked into the locker room before a big game, looked over to his star player and said, Im not supposed to let you play since you failed math, but we really need you in there. So, what I have to do is ask you a math question, and if you get it right, you can play.



The player agreed, so the coach looked into his eyes intently and asked, – Okay, now concentrate hard and tell me the answer to this: What is two plus two?



The player thought for a moment and then answered, 4?

Did you say 4?! the coach exclaimed, excited that he had given the right answer.



Suddenly, all the other players on the team began screaming, Come on coach, give him another chance!

A comedian at city hall…

Apparently, in the London, Ontario daily newspaper, the city was
advertising job offers for firefighters (I heard this on a Hamilton

The City of London is an equal opportunity employer. We also
provide all of our employees with a smoke-free workplace.

Moving the clock

A well off young man was moving from one street to another, a few streets away.

Observing with dismay the care-free way in which the moving crew yanked his cherished antiques about, he was filled with a desire to save from possible damages a tall grandfathers clock which he prized highly.

Taking the clock in his arms he started for the new house. But the clock was as tall as its owner, and heavy besides, and he had to put it down every few feet and rest his arms and mop his streaming brow. Then he would clutch his burden and stagger on again. After half an hour of these strenuous exertions he was nearing his destination, when an intoxicated person who had been watching his labors from the opposite side of the road took advantage of a halt to hail him.

Mister, he said thickly, could I ash you a questn?

What is it? demanded the exhausted young man.

Why on earth dont you carry a watch?

The blonde woman finally reached shore completely exhausted.

After being revived with blankets and coffee, she remarked; I dont want to complain, but I think those other two girls used their arms.
