Letter of Recommendation

When Peter learned that he was being fired, he went to see the head of human resources. "Since I've been with the firm for so long," he said, "I think I deserve at least a letter of recommendation. "

The human resources director agreed and said he'd have the letter the next day. The following morning, Peters found a letter on his desk. It read, "Jonathan Peters worked for our company for 11 years. When he left us, we were very satisfied."

A Good Thing

Larry and Harry drove 500 miles to go fishing. They paid a huge sum to rent a cabin, a similar about to rent a boat. They fished for three days and caught only one fish between them.

On the way home, Harry fiddled with a calculator; while Larry drove. After an hour, Harry said, "Do you realize that this I one 68f1'we caught cost us almost $ 2,000?"

"Wow!" Larry said. "It's a good thing we didn't catch any more."
