A man stood on the side of the road hitch
hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm. The
night was rolling and no cars passed. The storm was so strong,
he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a
car come towards him and stop.
The guy, without thinking about it, got in
the car and closed the door to realize that nobody was behind
the wheel. The car started slowly. The guy looked at the road
and saw a curve coming his way.
Scared, he started praying, and begged for
his life. He hadn't come out of shock, when just before he hit
the curve, a hand appeared through the window and moved the
wheel. The guy, paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand
appeared every time before a curve.
The guy gathered strength, got out of the
car and ran to the nearest town. Wet and in shock, he ran into
a cantina and asked for two shots of tequila, and started
telling everybody about the horrible experience he went
through. A silence enveloped everybody when they realized the
guy was crying and wasn't drunk.
About half an hour later, two guys walked
into the same cantina, and one said to the other. "Look,
that's the character who climbed into the car while we were
pushing!"
A poor vagabond, traveling a country road
in England, tired and hungry, came to a roadside Inn with a
sign reading: "George and the Dragon." He knocked.
The Innkeeper's wife stuck her head out a
window. "Could ye spare some victuals?" he asked.
The woman glanced at his shabby clothes and
obviously poor condition. "No!" she said rather
sternly.
"Could I have a pint of ale?"
"No!" she said again.
"Could I at least sleep in your
stable?"
"No!" by this time she was fairly
shouting.
The vagabond said, "Might I
please...?"
"What now?" the woman interrupted
impatiently.
"D'ye suppose," he asked, "I
might have a word with George?"
Once upon a time, Hercules, Snow White and
Quasimodo were talking over a picnic lunch.
Hercules says "You know, everyone says
I am the strongest mortal on the earth, but I don't know how
to prove it. That bothers me a lot."
Snow White said "You're right!
Everyone says I am the fairest, but how can I be sure?"
Quasimodo agrees. "Yeah, and I'm
supposed to be the ugliest!"
Suddenly Snow White has an idea. "You
know, guys, I've got the answer. Let's pray about this and ask
God to tell us the truth."
Hercules says "Great. Let's meet
tomorrow and tell our tales."
The next day, they meet at a restaurant in
town. Hercules says, "I talked to God, and He says that I
am truly the strongest."
Snow White says, "As did I, and I am
truly the fairest."
Quasimodo has his head down, leaning on the
table and says, "Who the heck is Janet Reno?"
A college graduate applied for a job at the
Central Intelligence Agency. Together with several other
applicants, he was given a sealed envelope and told to take it
to the fourth floor.
As soon as the young man was alone, he
stepped into an empty hallway and opened the packet. Inside, a
message read: "You're our kind of person. Report to the
fifth floor."
