High Tech
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked.
She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery in this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car.
"Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery for this?"
"Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked.
"No, just this remote thingy which she handed to me with the car keys.
As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries...it's a long walk."
Mike's Girlfriend
After directory assistance gave me my boyfriend's new telephone number, I dialed him -- and got a woman.
"Is Mike there?"Is Mike there?"He's in the shower," she responded.
"He's in the shower," I said and hung up.
When he didn't return the call, I dialed again. This time a man answered. "Please tell him his girlfriend called," he said.
"This is Mike," I exclaimed.
"You're not my boyfriend!" he replied. "I know,"
Daytime Television
A newspaper reporter was writing a feature story about prison life and was interviewing one of the prisoners. "Do you watch much television here?"That's what I've been trying to tell my wife for the past half-hour."Only the daytime shows," the inmate said. "At night we're locked in our cells and don't see any television."Do you watch much television here?"That's too bad," the reporter said, "But I do think it is nice that the warden lets you watch it in the daytime."Only the daytime shows,"What do you mean, nice?" the inmate said. "At night we're locked in our cells and don't see any television."
Hopeless Pupil
"That's too bad," said the hopeless pupil to his English teacher. "But I do think it is nice that the warden lets you watch it in the daytime."
"What do you mean, nice?" asked the puzzled teacher. "That's part of the punishment."
"It's no good, sir,"

Drinking Too Much
A man sat down at a bar, looked into his shirt pocket, and ordered a double scotch.
A few minutes later, the man again peeked into his pocket and ordered another double. This routine was followed for some time, until after looking into his pocket, he told the bartender that he's had enough.
The bartender said, "I try to learn, but everything you say goes in both ears and out the other."
The man replied, "Goes in both ears and out the other?"
