As a younger man, I was in great shape. As an airline pilot , I was required to have a Flight physical every six months. The nurse took the basic data, weight, height, and blood pressure. My pressure was good, but the heart rate was below 40 beats per minute. "I cannot put that number down. You'll be denied a physical.",she said. "What can I do?", I replied. She held my hand and winked,saying, "Just think about that for a minute!" Retaking my blood pressure and heart rate, she stated, "53 will be OK, but you really know how to hurt a girl!"

IDIOTS AT WORK I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.
