A woman searching for a used car spotted an unbelievable ad in the classifieds:
“1995 Mercedes-Benz, slate blue, fully loaded — $150.”
Certain it had to be a scam, she called the seller anyway. The woman happily showed her the car, and to her shock, it was flawless—practically new.
Confused, she finally asked, “What’s the catch? Why are you selling this for so little?”
The seller sighed and said, “It’s actually my husband’s car. He ran off with his young secretary. Last week I got a message from him that said: ‘In Miami. Need money. Sell car.’”
So she did.
Jennifer’s wedding was just around the corner, and nothing could dull her excitement—not even her parents’ messy divorce. Her mother had found the perfect dress and was thrilled to be the most stylish mother of the bride.
Then disaster struck.
Jennifer discovered that her father’s new, much younger wife had bought the exact same dress. Jennifer politely asked her to exchange it, but she refused.
“No way,” she said. “I look amazing in it, and I’m wearing it.”
Jennifer broke the news to her mother, who simply smiled and said, “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I’ll find another dress. This day is about you.”
A few days later, they found her mother a beautiful replacement. Over lunch, Jennifer asked, “Are you going to return the original dress? You won’t have another reason to wear it.”
Her mother smiled sweetly.
“Oh, I have the perfect occasion,” she said.
“I’m wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.”
Late one evening, a young executive was leaving the office when he noticed the company’s CEO standing by a paper shredder, holding a document and looking puzzled.
Eager to impress, the executive introduced himself and asked if he could help.
“Yes,” the CEO said. “This is a very sensitive document, and my secretary has already left. Can you get this machine to work?”
“Of course,” the executive replied confidently.
He turned on the shredder, slid the paper in, and pressed the button—proudly completing the task.
