Bill was a frequent user of a pay telephone at a popular truck stop, and was greatly inconvenienced when the phone went out of commission. Repeated requests for repair brought only promises.

After several days, Bill again contacted the phone company and told that there was no longer a rush. The phone was now working fine… except that all money was being returned upon completion of each call.

A repairman arrived within the hour!

A blonde called in a repairman to fix her electric clock. He examined it and told her, „There’s nothing wrong with the clock. You didn’t have it plugged in.”

She replied, „I don’t want to waste electricity, so I only plug it in when I want to know what time it is.”

John’s dog chewed the tongue on one of his new, very expensive running shoes. He hoped to save his investment, so he took the sneakers to a shoe repair shop. He placed them on the counter and told the man, „My dog got hold of this.”

The repairman picked up the shoe, looked it over, and placed it back down on the counter.

„Well, what do you recommend?” John asked.

The repairman replied, „Give your dog the other shoe.”
