Di's hairdresser friend caught her husband fooling around with
a customer and promptly kicked him out.  A few days later, 
she received a call from the woman whom her husband had 
been fooling around with.  The woman said, "I know this is a 
difficult situation, but does this mean you won't still cut my 
hair?" 

Anything for an A



     A student comes to a young professor's office hours.  She
glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleadingly.
     "I would do *anything* to pass this exam."  She leans closer
to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes.
     "I mean..." she whispers, "...I would do...*anything*."
     He returns her gaze. "Anything?"
     "*Anything*."
     His voice softens. "*Anything*??"
     "*Anything*."
     His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you...*study*?"

                                 - A TRUE STORY (FROM DARTMOUTH)

Negotiations between union members and their employer were at an impasse. 
The union denied that their workers were flagrantly abusing their 
contract's sick-leave provisions. 

One morning at the bargaining table, the company's chief negotiator held 
aloft the morning edition of the newspaper, "This man," he 
announced, "Called in Sick yesterday!" 

There on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill employee, who 
had just won a local golf tournament with an excellent score. 

The silence in the room was broken by a union negotiator. "Wow," he 
said. "Think of what kind of score he could have had if he hadn't been 
sick!"
